Final Destination 2 2003 ★★★
I went in needing to clear my head, not needing tothink about anything all that much. And this one delivered.
Decent popcorn fun with some hilariously gory kills. Also, death working backwards this time was a nice touch. My personal facvourites were the window kill and the barbecued arm.
The Dark Knight 2008 ★★★★★
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Do I really look like a guy with a plan?
I don't, I don't want to kill you! What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no, NO! No. You... you... complete me.
Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
You think you can steal from us and just walk away?
Yeah.
You can tell a classic from it's number of quotable lines. And this one sure has a few of them. Not in the least because of the delivery.
And I can never get enough of the scenes between Bale and Caine and Freeman.
Lost Lake 2012 ★
It helped my vocabulary. In a sense that I started looking up synonyms for boring to enjoy this annoyingly unscary flick. So I ended up with
a boring ghost story
bland characters
humdrum jump scares
platitudinous dialogue
drab delivery
an insipid finish
plastic acting (these days, plastic somehow sounds worse than wooden)
