“The Suicide Club” is hard to watch, IMHO, coming from a fan of horror.

SERIOUSLY. It’s a shame because you get the sense that The Rock wanted something with that gutsy 80s action movie spirit, but ultimately risk-aversion won out and they had to pull their punches.

There was this movie that came out in 1984 that I adored at the time (I saw it while I was in summer daycamp — I was 8) called “Sheena Queen of the Jungle”. Graphic violence and nudity, rated PG.

Robocop, Terminator, Total Recall, Die Hard, Aliens, Predator. The 80s was filled with big action/sci-fi movies that were rated R.

The Nun 2: Nun on the Run

All we want is what’s beyond the Thunderdome...

I had to look for another screencap of the Sankara Stones cameo.

I’ve been visiting my parents in Central Florida more regularly -- my dad moved there a year ago and I feel like half the time I’m there, we’re bouncing from one gigantic supermarket to another!  

Halloween Ends in IMAX, eh...? Wondering if it’s worth it or if it’s fine to just see it in a regular format. It’s on Peacock, too, so I’m thinking the IMAX won’t be any kind of Chris Nolan affair...

My preference is always preserving what’s in the original comics instead of trying to “ground” everything in live action. Like the Purple Man in “Jessica Jones” -- just make him purple, dammit! Put Wolverine in yellow spandex -- don’t make a joke about it, just make it work!

Makes me think of the adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower. How that endured a crazy, cross-generational development hell with all this A-list talent attached to it at some point or another... and in the end, it got what felt like a rushed job of a production that actually made it to theaters, and it was so disa…

Apparently, Bill Skarsgård is not a fan of horror but he’s really making a career out of it.

Fox just announced that the title of the next film in the franchise is Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and it goes into production in October...

It’s such a shame that the current 3rd incarnation has been around for longer (2002-present) than the original superior version (1983-1998). There was a 2nd version that was short-lived because it was so despised - where Figment’s presence was inexplicably drastically reduced.

I subscribe to so many streaming services, I really wish this were on one of them instead of AMC+.

The trailer for Wakanda Forever got a huge round of applause from the theater when I saw THE WOMAN KING.

I agree that the trailer is boring. I thought the only way they were gonna make this work was by having the most mind-blowing trailer to launch these sequels... and it wasn’t that. It’s just a bunch of stuff on screen that people have little to no connection to. I figured they had to basically relaunch the franchise…

That JAWS 3D conversion was terrific. I’ve seen some really well-done 3D conversions over the years — they haven’t all been lazy cash-grabs. There’s an art to it, just like any aspect of filmmaking/cinematography.

Just saw this on SHUDDER (I realize this post was from the start of the year) and I agree with your appraisal. I love horror. I’m totally cool with unhappy endings. I liked the first 2/3 of this movie — seeing one couple systematically dismantle another couple with a series of small cuts. But the final act of this…
