I just finished Host last night.
I had low expectations because of the Zoom format of the movie. I expected it to be real cheesy and low quality.
But man, I was blown away. The Zoom video chat made the whole thing feel more real and once the scares started, they really didn't stop. It's only a 50 minute runtime, so it's short and sweet. Even when I knew what scares were coming, they still got me.
Renfield was hilarious in an Army of Darkness kind of rediculous horror way. If that's your thing.
Grosse Pointe Blank - I was expecting a cheesy action movie. That is in there, although it's a better than it has any right to be. And at the same time it manages to be a good romantic comedy. The script and the cast nail the human side of the story. (Except for Dan Akroyd, who I have never liked in anything.)
Frailty. Starring and directed by the late, great Bill Paxton. 20 years later this one still sticks with me. Best to go in without knowing anything about the plot.
The Raid 2. I thought I know what it would be like but it blew past every expectation. Amazing action film that's arguably better than the first.
Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts. I was cautiously optimisic about this movie, and I had one hell of a fun time watching it.
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.
I loved the original videos, but doubted it would make a good movie.
Run Lola Run
It's one of a handful of non English films (subtitled) that I've watched... I forget how I ended up watching it, but it really was an awesome flick.
Recently,
Infinity Pool by David Cronenburg
and
Psycho Goreman. It's everything it should be and more, but doesn't pretend to be anything that it isn't.
I do not care for hunky boys... Or do I?
Infinity pool was indeed a big surprise. The acting of Mia Goth is still superb.
