Spider-man: Into the Spider Verse (2019)
7/10

I couldn't really get into the story on this one. It was a little tedious to me. But I did like the art design, direction shots and the music. The coming-of-age of the hero and his relationship with family was strong, but every other story part was way too skinny for me.

Cthulhu 2007
This movie is gay. It has a gay love story. If you can ignore that, the actual story is good. I'm a straight man so obviously I don't watch gay love stories. There is no way possible that that was in the Lovecraft original story. If they remade this without that it would be a really good movie. I wonder if gay guys are as turned off by normal love stories in movies as I am by that. You know from early on that the main character is gay and I don't really have a problem with that but then it goes further into a love scene, that I just don't want to watch.

Nothing against them but just not something I'm going to watch. I really should start watching reviews before I watch a movie. I love HP Lovecraft stories and want to see good adaptations so I watched this and got hit with that. I really didn't see that coming.

Yes, it's pretty disturbing and uncomfortable ::love::...and it's all in bright sunshine!

Ari has a way with filming 'grief' its so amazing. This director works everything so good. Camera angles, music, he builds up so much dread, I almost flinch wondering whats coming in the next scene then its totally not what I was expecting, then it is but 10 times more in your face.....ahhhhh, I loveth this director.

I haven't heard of this one but I'll check it out since Cthulhu stuff is pretty good. But I'm not running to see it as if it's an odd gay love story then that's not really for me. I remember a guy in government once saying that he had no interest in a gay cowboy movie about that one movie that was popular some years ago.

Still who knows where society is headed as I remember posting about a horror remake that I liked but the movie has an implied gay scene with a guy and a girl. And fairly recently I saw a news story about a TV show by the Matrix brothers, now called siblings but the interview was with a person I thought was a girl but it turns out they transitioned from being a guy. So who knows.

I saw someone say they were looking forward to this horror movie somewhere and put it on my list. I see the movie is getting a few stories on movie news sites that I check. I haven't seen the trailer but I'm looking forward to seeing if it is good or not.

Spider-Man: Far from Home
Not bad. I think I preferred the first one.
Great *almost* classic looking spider-suit towards the end.
Decent storyline.
Ok "villain".
Bit of a continuation of the MCU as well.
hm...6/10?

The lead chick bugged the fuck outta me with her moaning and grunting as she tries to survive this ordeal. Annoying.

This wasn't too bad but the reflecting of everything you've done wrong in your life while waiting to die was mainstream and boring. *sighs*

My mind wandered on occasion to the film, Deep Blue Sea. <3 I rather watch that.

The story is actually really good. The main actor is a little annoying but yeah, the story is good just keep your hand next to the fast forward button because of that certain scene I was talking about. You can't ff too much though because there is an important part immediately after that.

And no this isn't "subtext" like Nightmare on Elm Street 2, when I saw that as a kid I didn't even know. I just thought the story sucked with Freddy in the real world. This is blatant but like I said if you can get past that and ff a scene, it's good.

CRY BABY (1990). John Waters musical about differences between classes and how love can overcome. Plays a lot like an Elvis Presley movie, but the cast alone makes this worth checking out, if nothing else. ***

I didn't know about Nightmare on Elm Street 2 either. It was one of those times it was on TV with info on the bottom that showed the subtext to me. And that was recently in the last few years or so.

But I too don't like Nightmare on Elm Street 2. It's the original and Part 4 for me. I want to rewatch Part 3 but I don't like the ending of that one. Also the ones after Part 4.

I consider part 3 dream warriors to be one of the best horror movies ever made, even if it isn't pure horror because of the comedy/one-liners in there.

To me part 3 and 1 are among the greatest of all time. Then 4 and Freddy's Dead I like a lot but they don't hold a candle to the greatness of 1 and 3. 2 and 5 to me were crap but there is a good scene or 2. I absolutely despise New Nightmare, Freddy vs Jason and the remake.

I can't say I remember all that much of NOES 2 and 3, and oddly never saw 4 or 5. But I saw 3: Dreamwarriors at the theatre and enjoyed it. The effects were impressive.

I think New Nightmare is a good stand alone movie, but has nothing of the Elm Street Saga. Even the "Freddy" has nothing of the charisma of the classic one, none of his one liners and so on. I think that is just a horror movie, while the saga has some fantastic humour in it also.

I know what you're saying but honestly every movie where they are making a movie as part of the story, I never liked. My only exception to that was The Editor. The worst 1 I saw like that was Evil Ed. The Fulci movie A Cat in the Brain wasn't that bad but not great either.

CHILDREN OF MEN (2006). Pretty downbeat story of the near future concerning population. After a half hour, gets really intense, almost TERMINATOR-ish. ***

I haven't seen many fictional films were the setting is while making a film. I haven't seen The Editor, Evil Ed or A Cat in the Brain. I didn't like New Nightmare. What did you think of In the Shadow of the Vampire?

I think this is one of those cases of when people blend things together a bit.
The classic Freddy, as in, featured in the first one?
I found him quite dark and humourless...he did seem to enjoy the taunting though.
Had next to no one-liners, well not as jokes anyway...we got "I'm your boyfriend now" and "This...is God", but that's really on the more sinister side.
I didn't find him charismatic at all, he was more...evil...angry, and showed an almost hateful side towards the children - this ties in well to the origin story, their parents were his killers, and he was straight out for blood.

#3 is one of my favourites but does mark the point that he started to transition from the "original" Freddy into the standup comedian he was in the latter part of the series. Though #3 in and of itself struck a pretty good balance - it was the ones after that took him into more ridiculous territory.
I also quite liked the visual aspects of the dreams/manifestations in this one as well.
The Nancy thing sucked, but hey...who didn't love that twist though...

Of course, now I've read there was some talk about some attempt at doing with NOES what they did with Halloween?
Heather said she'd return but is uncertain of it's direction without Wes Craven.
I could maybe get behind this if it happened though.

Hills Have Eyes to me the original was better. The remake was ok. The rape scene in the original seemed so real it kind of made my stomach turn a little.

I saw Wrong Turn a long time ago, when it was new. I honestly can't remember much. I honestly got it confused with another movie called Rest Stop. I was way off.

Sorry for so many posts, I can't figure out the multiquote yet.
Yeah I agree 2 different Freddy's the original, then the funny Freddy which started with part 3. Dream warriors is one of my favorite movies ever.

It would be nice to see a new take on NOES but I have low hopes of how it would actually turn out. The remake of NOES was a disaster and how they always say Freddy kills kids its really not true, he kills teenagers, he just still calls them kids as an adult standpoint of anyone who isn't a full grown adult is a kid. The remake took him from a killer of "kids" to being a child molester if I remember correctly. I really don't remember much of it because it wasn't memorable and really not worth rewatching.

If they do another remake, I really hope it goes in a direction between the original and part 3. As far as his face, if it aint broke don't fix it. They could use old clips of Robert England before he died from previous movies and still use Robert England (I think he's still alive). You can't see his aged face under all the makeup anyway. Plus part 1 and 3 completely avoided shots of his normal face, there wasn't clips of his past until later. I can only remember pre death Freddy scenes from Freddy's Dead. I doubt they would still use Robert England though.
