Finally sat down to watch Heretic

Great movie.
For some viewers it's probably just a lot of talking and feeling underwhelmed at some "reveal"
Very rarely do we have a movie (or any kind of main steam media) that dive into religion vs atheism at this level.

Great acting by Huge Grant, he outshined all other actors and actresses by a fair bit.

I especially like the ending, but can't discuss it without obvious spoiler. The movie is less about what is "happening" but making the audiences question on some bits.

A24 had been a bit hit or less lately, but this is them back to their roots. Small budget, horror, well crafted unique movie.

"Becoming Led Zeppelin" was great.

There are 2 reviews on Metacritic that effectively capture the audience reaction to "Becoming Led Zeppelin". One review gave it 100/100 and the other gave it 42/100.

RogerEbert.com gave it 100/100
"If you’re someone who treasures the music of Led Zeppelin more than you’re interested in the legend—or the gossip, or the dirt, or whatever you want to call it—of Led Zeppelin, this movie is absolutely for you. I’m one of those people, and I ate it up."

The Playlist gave it 42/100
"This bloated documentary will not create any new fans of Led Zeppelin because MacMahon caters exclusively to the group’s superfans."

I want to see the Sinners. New movie, new IP, cool status quo changing thing regarding the studio.

But im a huge wimp when it comes to horror and I heard it has jumpscares.

There’s only a couple jump scares. It’s not a traditional horror movie. It’s kind of split into two with the first half being drama and then things go awry in the second half. + Show Spoiler +

its similar to from dusk til dawn if you’ve ever seen that

this dude was a genius and a man far ahead of his time.

it is fascinating listening to his concerns about the future of movies, the movie industry and the movie theatre industry.
So many people were afraid of nuclear armageddon... and it never happened.

Sinners was a good movie. I think the first half where they set up the cast is the one that was done the best. Never got bored during the introduction phase of an action movie.

The fighting in the last section of the movie I think was the most weakly done but even that was ok.

I 100% disagree with Christopher Reeve's political views. If anything I should be biased against Reeve. And I gotta say, they need to stop making Superman movies because they'll never come close to the performance Christopher Reeve put on in Superman 1 and 2 in the 1970s.

this fucking guy has got more charisma in his left thumb than Ronald Reagan and JFK have in their entire bodies' combined.

Watched Eddington. I do sort of blackout if too much violence and sound kicks in so that definitely did happen, but I am glad to see Aster is on team Marxism and frankly the good Left SR side of history. funniest movie ive seen since tropic thunder, and also most fucked up movie viscerally ive seen .. since well idk. + Show Spoiler +

Pedro's politician's commercial is just god tier. Its amazing that the theater i went to which is progressive ground zero all had the biggest laughs during the moments when far left people were made fun of.
