To be fair to him the Instigators stars Matt Damon and Casey Affleck, and is directed by Doug Liman who did Edge of Tomorrow and Bourne Identity, so it can't be THAT bad. Also it's on my list to watch as well

Longlegs - 7/10



Filmed here in Vancouver!

Pretty good small budget arthouse film, Nick Cage was his crazy self, it's a decent 80/90s style serial killer film.

Man, I don't know what to say anymore, these new films just don't hit the same. They were trying to go the Silence of the Lambs route, but these writers and directors can't seem to make a good psychological serial killer film in the ways had them in the 80s and 90s. So while it was good for a modern film, it can't hold a candle to the older flicks.

I saw an ad for this on a bus stop, so it has some international marketing budget! I am curious

Had a great time watching this.

I appreciate it much more as it was filmed all in the Toronto area. Inside the arena is done elsewhree but it was still legit.
I suggest you NOT watching the previews as that's what the major 'twist' was. I did watch the previews and it STILL did the job on being on edge of my seat. They did a good job as it did NOT showcase the entire movie esp. the ending, the chase, the catch, the finale. There is one 2 second easter egg but meh.In any movie, there will always be loop holes so it was really good to see SOME being WTF but yet when the pacing is going along fast enough, you do'nt have time to process. This did the job.

I really thought it was great ride throughout despite you know what you're dealing with during the first 10 min. of the movie.
For a mystry thriller that was due to good script, this is for you. Josh Hartnett did an amazing job; he is so used to being the mr. good guy so for this to pivot and seeing him act his heart out was good. The daughter meh, the wife (Josh's) did great at the end being a nobody.
Fun fact, this was based on a true story (cop used this method) AND Saleka who plays the artist - is actually M. Night Shyamalan's daughter.

Decent watch in a theatre cause you'll enjoy the ride.

A sucker for all things Terminator not bad not bad. Interesting to see a bit of a different take on it so while very much the same premise it was slightly refreshing. It wasn't amazing by any means but still enjoyed it overall.

Alien: Romulus


I thought it did a really good job on the movie; spin off or whatever you call it. Premise was dark and the setting was decently set. What I didn't enjoy was how helpless / useless / the moment when things go sour. Is this what happens when all hells break loose in life?

It's like chickens running with their heads cut off. Again, I'm giving it a bad rep. Quite and enjoyable aliens movie - the ending transformation / change of events I didn't quite like but I can't be too picky.

Guess when you use unknown actors you can surely make this film a profit.
Fede Álvarez (director and writer) did a decent job as he did Don't breathe 1 & 2 and one chainsaw movie. I haven't seen Cailee Spaeny play any movie (she did play Priscilla Presley in a 2023 movie) ; so all in all, young cast who can't act (then again, they all probably die knowing / going into a movie like this LOL).

Wifey didn't enjoy it but it did a decent job.

The Roundup: Punishment
very standard cop + bad guy movie. You know Ma Dong-seok (lead actor) - famous since train to busan - will be the cop and beat the crap out of everyone.
Kim Mu-yeol - is the good looking, rock hard abs bad guy with crazy knife skills like john wick.

Nothign to rave about; just typical korean movie where a) guns are not popular (eg// like jap movies) b) typical movie ending. Boht of them were in a similar movie (in netflix - The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil - 2019) so it's funny to say, both have aged a bit.

not a bad movie, less action than john wick, less of a script, and this is their 4th installment so it's good ot see this revolves around on-line gambling story line.
