I’m still catching up on movies and TV shows. Which means, you get to hear about them. YOU’RE WELCOME!
Murder on the Orient Express – Definitely a very stylish and pretty movie. Kenneth Brannagh was pretty fantastic as the stuffy Poirot. Is it one I’ll watch again? Likely not. While I enjoyed it, it’s not the type of movie I grab when I need a comfort movie.
8/10 – I’m not sorry I watched it, but likely won’t watch again
Spider-Man: Homecoming – Part of my Marvel Universe movie experience. I liked it. A lot. This kind of geared me up to watch Thor (which I did) and I loooooove the cross-overs with other marvel superheroes.
10/10 – Would watch again
Thor Ragnarok – Chris Hemsworth has amazingly massive arms in this movie. I mean, I couldn’t stop staring at them. THEY’RE HUGE! HUUUUUUGE. Beyond that (is there more to life and movies than Chris Hemsworth’s massive biceps?), the movie hit all high spots with me. I got MOAR HULK, which always pleases me, and there were some ridiculous moments that flat-out startled a laugh out of me. Did I mention the arms? HUGE! (As an aside, this catches me up on the Marvel Universe Avengers heroes movies. YESSSSS!)
11/10 – Would watch again
It Follows – A low-key horror movie that has one or two shocking scenes, but mostly relies on lingering shots of darkened doorways and FUCKING GIANTS CREEPING UP BEHIND PEOPLE WHEN THEY’RE NOT EXPECTING IT!!! Relatively low budget, it’s definitely more cerebral than most horror movies I watch. (Not that I watch all that many anymore, but STILL.) Added bonus, there are a lot of metaphors for young adulthood you can draw from it. Namely, sex comes with consequences. Sometimes those consequences are a creepy ass quasi-ghost person who follows you around and kills you.
9/10 – Atmospheric as far as horror movies go, but I don’t think I can watch it again thanks to that FUCKING GIANT CREEPER
11.22.63 – I’m 4 episodes in (out of 8) and …I like it, but I have FEARS for what it coming. I want a strong ending, and I don’t think I’m going to get that. BUUUUUT… seeing a modern man deal with the racism that was rampant in the 60s is kind of intriguing. James Franco is pretty watchable and I like pointing out foreshadowing whenever I notice it.
This one won’t get a rating until I’m done. We’ll see how things turn out.
There you have it. Another installment of What I’m Watching is in the bag!
when the teens say ‘it’s lit!’ what does that mean? is it a good thing ‘to be lit’?
