That reminds me of this older woman (not old-old but at the time I was 25 and she was 56) I got on well with in a homeless hostel once. We were just friends but fooled around a bit. She was telling me once about how she was pre-orgasmic and my friend JUMPED away frus us like "YOU'RE ABOUT TO HAVE ONE, HERE? NOW?". It just made me laugh how shocked and serious he was. Like...Confidently Wrong lol.
I was like".....that's not what that means" xD
 
The Long Night - 2022

Got better as it went along but not by much.

Here’s the plot:

While searching for the parents she's never known, Grace and her boyfriend return to her childhood stomping grounds in the South to investigate a promising lead on her family's whereabouts. Upon arrival, the couple's weekend takes a bizarre, terrifying turn as a nightmarish cult and its maniacal leader terrorize the pair en route to fulfilling an ancient, apocalyptic prophecy.

Fucking awesome. 5/5 all day. It's not made as a horror film either by the way, just a point. Theres quite a few things going on, but which are within grasp of the viewer, it hasn't got complex interwoven themes all over the place (which doesn't make a bad film, just this isn't one of those) I think it will leave you with at least a couple of questions.
 
"Joker"

I really liked this! I had never seen it but I remember some of the hubbub around it when it was released. It deserved the critical acclaim it received!

For one, Joaquin Phoenix is just a fantastic actor IMO. The first film I saw which really made me appreciate his ability was "The Master" but I've always liked him...they got the right guy for the job, creating a troubled but fundamentally decent character who you really sympathize with and root for, even though you know he's on a doomed path

I liked the characterization of Bruce Wayne's father as being a rich prick basically lol, who gets assassinated as a result of a brewing class war in Gotham (a 70's NYC urban decay-style setting that's gritty but not overwrought IMO)

Great direction by Todd Phillips in the film too. Really glad that I eventually caught this one, it's probably my favorite Batman-related film
 
Titanic (1997)

Damn, Kate Winslet looks older than DiCaprio here, but she's about a year younger. Baby face Leo I guess lol.

This film was Oscar bait if there ever was any. I felt like Elaine in The English Patient episode of Seinfeld, I kept thinking "JUST FUCKING SINK AND DROWN ALREADY!!!" One hour of drama, one hour of an old lady saying, "Weren't my knockers nice young man?" And one hour of a big ass boat (ship, sorry) sinking while cliched tropes play out all around it.

It was nice seeing Winslet's 22 year old nips. She's a babe. I don't get how this film garnered a PG-13 rating when every 13 year old boy would be fapping in the audience... but I digress. The 90s were a different time, and this film is a reminder of just how much conservative backlash came about the past two decades.

I also enjoyed seeing B-actor cameos from Twin Peaks characters and other 90s tv B-acting. Shoulda known it would be a bad film when I saw Billy Zane step out of that car at the beginning but I held out hope... much like the people holding onto the last rails of the Titanic left sticking out of the water.

5.5/10

Also, couldn't stop thinking about this cover during every sappy scene with the Celine Dion song lol:

I think I'd have enjoyed it more had I not been under the impression it was a horror. Still liked it, though! I must admit, I was embarrassingly far into the movie before I realized what was happening with her (physiologically).
 
Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeekquel (2009) - 3.5 stars - Watched with my niece. Not my original movie choice, but apparently Y Tu Mama Tambien isn't suitable for a 4 year old. Whatever. Kinda enjoyed it tbh. It had it's funny moments and was nostalgic as I watched the cartoons as a kid in the 90s (plus Dave was played by that guy from My Name is Earl).

Last Night in Soho (2021) - 4 stars - Not as amazing as people make out, but definitely a good movie. Mostly watched it as I'd heard it had it's roots in giallo influences. I didn't really see that, but thought the movie was pretty good nonetheless, even if the twist of Sandy's identity was pretty obvious.

Creep (2014) - 4.5 stars - rewatched my my parents. They both hated it :/....I loved it. Ah well.

The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) - 3.5 creative kills - A lot tamer than I;d expected, but it was decent. I keep letting people over-hype things for me, I think.

The Holy Mountain (1973) - 4 stars - Cool. Definitely gonna check out El Topo next.

Hi!
I'm glad you liked it! I watched it twice to fully understand the psycho/parental/carer aspects all rolled into one. It's hard to fit it into a genre really isn't it, which is probably why I liked it the most, unusual film with great storyline, great acting, keeps you interested, SPOILER ALERT FOR ANYONE READING : and that scene when they're all dancing to the light house track (not the techno scene) was so brilliantly done, as the soundtrack slides between diegetic and non-diegetic sound in the same scene which is very rare in film-making. It's just so odd how it starts like that isn't it? but you realise of course that that was who she was. I'm pleased you took the time to watch a recommendation, I love foreign cinema there's so many fantastic films out there which don't get mentioned in the British media.
