For content I might even go higher, but there were a few "uneven" moments in the film which brings down the overall score. Not hugely "funny", but quirky in a good way. regards, G. PS - for those who don't know, this film is by the same guy who did "What We Do in the Shadows" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3416742/?ref_=nv_sr_2?ref_=nv_sr_2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Joker: really mediocre There wasn't really a plot; just following around a guy with a mental disorder for 120 minutes. The excessive laughing ate up about 20 of those minutes and became extremely repetitive/exhausting. I can't believe people made such a big deal about this movie. I was certainly eagerly anticipating it; but once I saw it, I knew I never needed to see it again.

Tortorella's Rant Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 The Darkest Hour: 8/10. Makes me wanna get in a Spitfire to fight those bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift-4 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 JoJo Rabbit I knew very little about it going in so didn't know what to expect. It was pretty fun. Some decent humour. Well done film overall Definitely worth a watch. Sam Rockwell doesn't disappoint again. I should probably look for more of his films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Avengers: Endgame - 4/10 What a sentimental snooze-fest. Not even Hulk is fun anymore. Fat Thor was alright, but the rest of the 3 hours was a chore.Solo - 5.5/10 Better than I expected it would be. But still, completely unnecessary. I Am Mother - 8/10 Watched this after seeing Hillary Swank at the Canucks game (it’s been on my list for a while, that jogged the memory). Absolutely loved it. The visuals were outstanding, especially the robot called Mother. Raised numerous questions about technology and humanity. Was surprised to see after that the reviews were so mixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is what Star Wars movies really should be. Fun. But this character is awful.

Was reminded how good of an actress she is in what was a thoroughly entertaining film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Ready or Not Speaking of fun movies, this was such a blast. Horror/thriller/comedy. Don’t want to give much away. I’ll just say that if you like horror/comedies, this is definitely worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 parasite: 8.5/10. was skeptical about this one after being bored to death by other hyped korean movies. this one actually delivers imo. really has it all - totally bizarre, great sets, great acting, funny dialogue, shocking violence, has a message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 2019 has been one of the best years for movies in a long time, i think. which, of course, isn't saying a whole lot since it's been a bit of a wasteland out there. but still, i've seen so much great sh-t this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Terminator Dark Fate 7.5/10 I'm shocked by the lack of the support this movie is getting, but goes to show the past 3 films really hurt this franchise. But this is a good movie in my opinion, it's based on after the 2nd Terminator Judgment Day, so it eliminates the last 3 films. So people who grew up watching Terminator 1 and 2 will probably enjoy this one, but the generation of people who grew up watching the past 3 movies probably won't like this one because it has nothing to do with those films. This movie gives closure in a way finally to the one and only T-800 Arnold Schwarzenegger, but also leaves the door open for something down the road if they want to do this franchise ever again.

Monty Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 In the Tall Grass Yet another Stephen King movie, this one straight to Netflix, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. 1922 and Gerald’s Game we’re both straight to Netflix movies based on Stephen King books, and both were really good. This was actually a collaboration between King and his son, Joe Hill (who has also made a name for himself with successful books and graphic novels). The idea is pretty interesting, but the execution isn’t the greatest. The filmmaker, who wrote and directed Cube, tried his best. The ending was underwhelming. It’s a skip.
