I’m aware this is yelling into the abyss, but β€œWalk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” has got to be one of the funniest movies of this century and one of the most under appreciated. I want every young person to watch β€œWalk The Line” then β€œWalk Hard.” So God damn good.

Peeped β€œX” last night. Bit of a slow boil but a good amount of β€œholy sh*t” and β€œwhaaat?” moments. Good use of gore without showing too much for the easy gross out but rather the chilling effect of the wide shot and hearing it. Not bad. Will watch the sequels fo sho. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

And peeped β€œTerrifier” last night. Great gore, blood, guts and makeup and effects, but the lack of any storyline bugged the heck out of me. Overall very decent. Not sure if I want to check out the sequels. Perhaps they get better like other horror franchises? ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #terrifier
