I just watched "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" and I liked it a lot. Great soundtrack as always, action and humor, make those movies fun. The animal experimentation stuff made me cry though but perhaps it does raise awareness.

We don't have much to do this weekend so we are hopefully going to watch Equalizer 2 and Insidious Red Door at home.

Good acting, interesting storyline (based on a true story) but somehow it didn't come together:

We watched Insidious: The Red Door yesterday. It was okay, not really scary. My husband jumped a lot at one bit.

Then I rewatched M3GAN afterwards.

I had read online a recommendation for How To Talk To Girls At Parties. (2017)
The reviewer made a point that the title had little or nothing to do with the movie.

The film is an adaption of a Neil Gaiman short story. I don't always like Neil Gaiman's stuff but the stuff I like - I really like.

Elle Fanning is in the movie and I didn't recognize her. Not even after I saw her name in the credits.

The movie's setting is the London, 70s, Punk Rock scene. It takes a little while to get going and then it gets really weird. The ending also takes a long time to finish up - but the conclusion is worth it.

IMDB gave it a 5.7. I won't recommend it unless you are a big fan of Elle Fanning, or Neil Gaiman, or 70s London punk.

I saw that years ago. Yes, it is very good.

We saw Cobweb (a horror film) last night. It had Antony Starr from The Boys in it. It was okay, not scary though!

Sad to hear, that is on our watch list. Still might watch it.

You might like it. Good performances.

I'm rewatching Scream 6 at the moment.

last night we watched Jexi on Netflix - it was rude and silly and hilarious and so true in so many ways.... for anyone who is phone-addicted

not sure if this goes in the TV lounge or here - watched Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones - all four episodes last night and it was fascinating... makes me want to find a small town and try to get them to buy into being a Blue Zones

Oh, no. I really liked it. However it did get the worse score of all the others.

We watched The Blackening last night. I really enjoyed it!

We saw The Equalizer 3 at the cinema yesterday which was good, but predictable. I have seen the first two films only recently so I wanted to see the third one. Those films are watchable, but they follow an obvious pattern. I think this one was as good as the first film.

We just watched Talk to Me which is a horror film that got very good reviews. It was very creepy at first, but was much more gory than I would have expected.

 

[Raven]

Oh yes, Talk to me reminded me a bit of Flatliners about half way through.

A film come up on my phone today, probably as I watched a film with Denzel in it, The Little Things and we started that tonight. It is a thriller/serial killer film.

 

[SuicideBlonde]

I really want to see Talk to me, I tried to "stream" a copy, but it was bad quality and kept buffering. It looks good.

Unhuman (2022) ⭐ 4.4 | Comedy, Horror, Thriller

Hub picked out, not so good.

Run Sweetheart Run (2020) ⭐ 5.5 | Horror, Thriller

1h 44m | 15

www.imdb.com

I picked out. We thought it was just going to be a hunt the girl movie, but it had a twist. I kind of liked it.

 

[SuicideBlonde]

The People Under the Stairs (1991) ⭐ 6.4 | Comedy, Horror, Mystery

1h 42m | 18

m.imdb.com

I have not seen people under the stairs before tonight. It was good. Kind of like that. I thought it was going to be more grotesque than it was. I felt it was kind of a comedy. I enjoyed it. I just love that little kid. He was freaking phenomenal.
