The old Pet Sematary from 1989, it hasn’t aged well. I watched this to prepare for the remake I’m going to see in theaters soon. Let me just say, it got some things right, the rest was subpar. With the current trend of newer horror remakes being at least decent, I have some hope for the new one. IT was great, I expect 2019’s version of Pet Sematary to be just as good.

Glass 10/10

I have to say, that movie have a very interesting turn with a lot of gray area that just like to mess with your perspectives. I have to say, these movies are now my top one favorite trilogies. 

James McAvoy mentioned about a spinoff, I hope it will happen.

Superman: Unbound. One of the better Superman films.

[TigerGeekGuy 4,662]

Pet Sematary (2019) It was great, waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy better than the older version. I loved all the different changes they made to the story to help it make more sense and engage audiences regardless of whether or not you've seen the older version. The films makes some references to the 1989 version, but never gets too out of hand. There are some things I felt the older version did better, but they're really small details that don't really affect the overall experience. I enjoyed this movie, and I prefer this one when comparing the two.

Seven (1997) - 9/10

An excellent thriller that gets better as it goes along.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 3 THE HIDDEN WORLD was worth seeing since the sad thing is this is the last movie they will make "POOR SPIKE WILL BE MOLT BROKEN SHEDDING IN TEARS "! But Rarity will comfort him with gems.

[Twiggy 2,966]

Shazam. Pretty funny and didn't take itself too seriously. Really refreshing superhero movie imo.

Fun/10.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding. 

Not a masterpiece by any stretch, but relaxing and amusing enough to do the trick. 

[Oleks 1,993]

Watched Glass yesterday. I have mixed feelings about it, especially about the ending. I really liked the previous two movies of the trilogy, and this one didn't exactly turn out to be what I expected. I can't call it bad, but I could have been better. James McAvoy was great though.  

[The Recherche 29,968]

The most recent Aquaman film.

It was... quite possibly the most average film I have ever seen.  It was not contemptible, but if you think you know what will happen next, chances are, you will be correct. It is a very standard hero's journey, which I can understand the appeal of. For me, however... I was hoping for something more unique.

NextGen

I saw this on Netflix and it surprised me how much fun it was. Far less apologetic and sentimental than most of the animated movies lately, and a lot more teeth. The main character was a lot of fun too.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Mad Max: Fury Road. It was a pretty great film, and definitely a remake worthy of the original Mad Max and then some. Though one thing I have to say is that, maybe I didn't watch the film closely enough, but it did lack a little bit in the department of character development. Otherwise, pretty amazing film. 9/10.

I finally watched the 2015 horror film 'It Follows' and it is one of the most effective horror films I have ever seen. It is extremely creepy and unnerving and had me tense long after the credits rolled. There is one scene that is a bit too goofy and the ending is abrupt as all hell, but I still think it is very worthy of a 9/10. If you dont mind a lot of sexual allegories, then give it a watch.

Watched Bohemian Rhapsody for the second time.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Gran Torino. I've seen it plenty of times before, but I'll just quickly say it's a great film.

[SapphireRose94 10]

Captain Marvel. Awesome movie, IMO. Can’t wait for Endgame this week!!

The first Deadpool movie. Funny as hell. 

[rainbowdashacademy 114]

Last week saw Winchester the suspense thriller was good didn't know in magic real life the place was spellaunted ! DERPY HOOVES gave it a 5 cross-eyed rating for this movie enjoy.

[Chrylestia600 1,307]

Ant-Man and the Wasp. Though I did fall asleep in the middle of it so I’m not sure if that counts (good movie, I was just exhausted that day). If not, I’m think Aquaman was the last one. Loved that movie. 

[cuteycindyhoney 13,306]

Paddington, and then Paddington 2

 

I finally got around to watching them. OMG, I love Paddington so much! I read the books when I was little, and the movies make me want to read them again. 'How come nobody told me that Doctor Who's own Peter Capaldi  played grumpy mean Mr. Curry? He was perfect!

[Here No Longer 5,276]

The Mule (2018). It's a decent movie, but the movie has a few issues. For one the pacing feels slow in the first half, and the film lacks a sort of authenticity in its more emotionally charged moments. Nonetheless it must be said considering Eastwood is in his 80's he's a pretty fantastic actor still and his performance in this film is indicative of that. 7.5/10.

I've seen quite a few movies recently.

The Mule - Eh, not quite my cup of tea. Don't get me wrong, it's a great movie for someone who's a fan of the actor and likes dramas. But personally, I don't care much for dramas. So then, why did I watch it? Well, I just watched it with my parents who are both Clint Eastwood fans, rented it for them, actually. I honestly expected more of an action movie than a drama. As a drama, it's a good movie, but not something I find myself enjoying on my own.

Maggie - Ugh, this movie was terrible. Not as a drama, as a drama it was alright. But this is just not my type of movie, I thought it would be a bit more action-oriented. I like how they tried to explore a different side of the zombie apocalypse and how this specific situation could be handled, but it focused a bit too much on trying to be sad and elicit sympathetic feelings from the viewer. There were a few times I liked it,

Spoiler

such as the scene where Arnold's character had to kill off two infected neighbors. I felt that was executed well. Especially given how it is implied throughout the movie that the infected still retain some of their humanity, but are just completely unable to control themselves. The thought is terrifying. Trapped in a body you can't control and forced to witness what 'you' do to others.

That said, I feel there was a real missed opportunity in one particular scene. It was the fox scene, I wanted it to be more drawn-out, less implied, incredibly graphic, and truly horrifying. But unfortunately, that did not happen. It's just heavily implied and less in-your-face, which loses a lot of shock value. Something that would have made an otherwise terrible movie something worth watching, if just for that scene alone. Think about it, that scene would have made such an impact, yet it was heavily watered down. *sigh*

Curse of Chucky - Yes. This movie was great. I love that Chucky has gone back to his straight horror roots, there was pretty much no forced humor, and Chucky even made less 'witty' quips in this than throughout the entire original Child's Play trilogy. It was great. As a fan that was turned off from the franchise because of Bride and Seed, I'm glad the franchise in returning to its original horror roots. Next on the list is Cult!

The Shining - This is a masterpiece, and I am so glad I finally watched it! This movie deserves to be showered with praise! Great camera work, amazing acting, and truly suspenseful storytelling. This movie is great and deserves a watch! The only thing I find a bit lackluster about it is the lack of genuine scares. No jumpscares, but it didn't build up atmosphere either. It's a great movie, but I expected more in terms of actual scare factor. I guess it might've been scary at the time of its release, but it doesn't really hold up now.

Bumblebee - Nice movie, an actual palatable offering from the live-action Transformers franchise. And a reboot! I like how the movie focused more on character development, which is very welcome. As well as forgoing the stupid juvenile humor found in the Michael Bay-directed series. If the franchise continues this route, I might actually like it this time.

Alien 3 - Don't watch this, just don't. It plays out like a terrible Syfy original. Don't waste your time seeing the iconic Xenomorph turned into terrible CGI, don't watch Ripley be incredibly OOC, and don't watch the terrible cast with equally terrible acting. I would advise against even thinking about watching Alien: Resurrection either. The only thing I like about this is the idea that Ripley would die making sure the xenos never end up in the wrong hands. Everything else was terrible.

Spoiler

They killed off Newt in the first few seconds. Unacceptable!
