8.8/10 Well rounded. Good pacing. Plot well supported. Not a happy ending but a solid one.

Also it's been a heavy movie weekend. A lot of subject matter on grief. Might have to watch some lighter stuff to balance it out.

A24 does it again. This is gooood. I'm pretty desensitized to horror films. I can usually get my mind's eye to see the effects and it helps me not to see it as icky or horrifying. But a couple scenes I gasped a bit so that's at least an A horror film in my book.

Movie poster for Bring Her Back

#nowwatching Bring Her Back - it was advertised as being really scary

😏☝️ but me I'm not so easily scared. But some of thr A24 films have give me some chills. We shall see lol

I really liked Adam Scott in Severance, I forgot how unlikable he is in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

Also thanks to bluesky for beating me over the head with promotional posts about this movie or I might not have known about it.

A beautiful if at times heavy watch. 9/10. (That dance scene could have been a little shorter but wonderfully done and poetic to the theme of the film)

I know some folks don't like the long monologues/dialogues that Flanagan's works have but it works super well here. Having dealt with recent death of a loved one it felt like a nice way to work through some of that and also bring some light to my own existentialism.

The first act (or third rather) opens with a deep dread that I sometimes feel and hit me deeply, almost hard to watch because I related so much to the fear the characters had. But as the movie goes on, it feels comforting and caring. Cherished moments feel kismet and guiding.

Okay after watching this and processing this a bit I'm ready to share my thoughts.

I love how Flanagan handles existentialism and grief. While not wholly horror which is expected from both the author and director. This film is wholesome.

A movie I've actually been interested in seeing.

Uh that was terrible haha. The constant product placements were just really awful.

I'm 23 mins in and this is just an ad for Teams

Movie poster for Matrix Ressurections (2021)

#nowwatching Matrix Ressurections

I remember I tried to watch this closer to when it came out and I just thought it was a cheese factory. I'll try again since I'm having a quiet day

Has Snyder ever directed a horror film? Zod's message scene is wonderfully horror coded

Kevin Costner you're stupid. Why would you let your son watch you die instead of just saving you bro????

Movie poster for Man of Steel (2013)

I'm back from vacay. Movies weren't as available on the hotel TV. Watched a lot of L&O SVU lol

#NowWatching Man of Steel hoping to see new Superman soon!

Movie poster for Nightcrawler with Jack Gyllenhaal

#nowwatching Nightcrawler (2014)

I remember seeing this much closer to when it initially released. I remembered liking it but now I can barely remember the details of it.

Film poster for the documentary: I'm Your Venus

#nowwatching I'm Your Venus

I'm almost finished with it but it is such a touching and raw and beautiful documentary honoring Venus and celebrating trans people. The blending of her chosen family and the family she grew up with was so wonderful. A must watch!

#nowwatching Source Code (2011)

More scifi, fun time loops shenanigans.

Movie poster for Inception

#nowwatching Inception yet again

One thing about me, I'm a Nolan fan and his films bring me a little bit of comfort every rewatch

Screenshot from Letterboxd app of last four recently seen movies. From left to right: Pacific Rim, Minority Report, Independence Day, and Sinners

#lastfourfriday #letterboxdfriday #filmsky

Pacific Rim, Minority Report, Independence Day, Sinners

A lot of scifi but really enjoyed Sinners!

#nowwatching Pacific Rim. I'm gonna be honest I know I've seen this. I don't remember a single thing from this.

Charlie Hunnam is really trying to have an American accent. He's trying his best!

They called Colin Farrell a twink omg 😅😅

Movie poster of Minority Report featuring Tom Cruise

#nowatching Minority Report one of my all time favorite Sci Fi movies. Streaming on Tubi

#nowwatching Independence Day as is tradition

On the projector!

I really wish I got to see it in IMAX, esp the aspect ratio changes. The musiv scene was so captivating and while I'm white I still think it captured how music is a vehicle of expression of culture. It's truly a deep art form. And then captured so well in a movie.

#nowwatching Sinners

Heard lots of good things. I wanted to see in theaters but streaming will have to do!

#nowwatching White Lotus Season 3

I really enjoyed the first two seasons. Are we in the new Golden Era of HBO? Was Succession or Righteous Gemstones the second wave?

Applause for this. I also believe Covenant also is in this niche but it came out 2 years before Twilight.
