About to rewatch Knight and Day...someone here recommended it...
Can't remember anything about it so I'm rewatching

No Mercy was recommended by someone here.
A Korean movie...
But there seem to be 2 different movies by that title...
A 2010 own and a 2019 own


Can the person clarify, I can't find the post. Which one?

IbrahimMav:
Hunt (2022)....8/10

The plot moves at a breakneck speed that if you brink you'll miss something important.
Action packed spy thriller from Korea.

Can you recommend any Crime, Thriller series for me

This isn't Snow White...
It's just another garbage feminist/progressive crap

Heard that Disney confirmed a while ago that they were cutting the dwarves with faeries because a short guy complained that the original movie was offensive to short people.

Lol

Good

Pulp fiction (1994)....10/10

I decided to watch some classics after I saw the ChainsawMan reference of them

This movie is damn crazy...
Follows the story of several characters and how they interconnect, but the story is not told chronologically


Movies like these show why Hollywood is revered as the best...
Unfortunately nowadays it's only Superheroes movies and woke trash that Hollywood seems to produce...

Sad.

I won't waste my Data on this one...
I thought it was a classic cos of the ChainsawMan reference to it...

But it looks silly and the rates are freaking low...plus it's too old

The movie looks like a joke maybe that's how it got popular

I watched this movie when I was young. Funny movie.

It's something to watch when you have nothing to do and want to laugh at its ridiculousness

Wrong.

In my opinion, people that says Hollywood don't produce quality and original content unlike before are objectively not being honest with themselves.

Thwy just focus on the big budget, popular movies and assume that's the sum total of films being released.
That's why there's movies made for box office and there's Oscar worthy films.

Ask yourself this question: how many of these movies from last year/ this past Oscar awards have you watched?
From November, that's when you start seeing thought provoking movies cos summer time is over.

Hunt...... 7.5/10

Nice spy thriller from Korea. The pacing of the movie moves at supersonic speeds that you'd easily get confused if don't pay attention well or slow down your watch. End to end action from start to finish.

Rating would have been higher but for their below average definition of locations (at times you struggle to tell when you're in Korea or not, or in Washington) as well as the problem identifying who's who and on which side. It only gets clearer at the end.

Ironically when most of us were younger, we actually loathed such movies. The film na Bestseller film na Oscar film. That's what we used to call them
Or to quite beavis and butt head, why watch some boring movie about some English dude when you can watch an action movie with lots of gunshots and explosions.

Promising Young Woman (2020)....... 8.5/10

One of the prime content from Hollywood in recent memory. Moves at a slow pace at first but the plot comes together as you progress.
It's a dark satire and provocative tale on gender politics and the complexities of rape culture.

The twist at the end is one damn deathly sombre moment.
Acting brilliance from Carey Mulligan. I never thought she had it in her.
She thoroughly deserved that Best Actress nomination — a career defining performance.


This is brilliant coming from Emerald Fennel, especially when you find out this is the director's first feature project as well as writing.
She better come good for Zatanna.

No Mercy (2010) is a SICK sick movie. It's even more fvcked up than I saw The Devil.

but back then these great movies at least did pretty well in box office...that's why they were popular

Nowadays these movies are so unknown...they have poor marketing and are easily drowned by the hype of subpar popcorn movies

Se7en, Law Abiding Citizen, Prisoners, Limitless, Zodiac, Prestige, The Outlaws (Korean), The Outlaws: The Roundup (Korean), Mystic River, The Others, Fracture (2007), Parasite (Korean).

Night in Paradise....8/10

About betrayal and getting even.

Not really. If you weren't a BIG director like Martin Scorsese, FFC or Nolan you'd have a hard time getting your film noticed if it ain't a blockbuster.

Nowadays, ppl just want entertaining fare in theatres also the downturn in economy for generally the whole world hardly makes it convenient for anyone to go to a movie without being entertained and cracking your head to get some things. Prime reason why adult dramas and straight up comedies have been struggling in box office for past 4yrs.
In as much as I like thought provoking movies, I very well know if I'm being honest I won't spend my money on a cinema watch if it ain't a blockbuster, my favourite franchise etc.

I'll just wait and enjoy the content later with the ability to fast forward or backtrack as I want.

These movies ain't really unknown if you deep in Hollywood chatter. It just escaped your radar especially being Nigerian.

Lol, yeah. When movies are tagged Oscar films to watch am na war. Cos you dey rack brain for clues. Na entertainment sure pass.
Films were to watch and enjoy and feel good then not to understand something or gain new knowledge.

Checked out Carey Mulligan's bio and found out she loves playing complex female characters.

She even have top films like these on my watchlist: Drive, The Great Gatsby and Shame.
She Sabi act abeg.

RRR (2022).............8.5/10

When I noticed that it was the same director that directed Bahubali, I was having the urge to watch the movie and I wasn't disappointed, coupled with the positive online ratings. I think Indian movie industry means business now—this movie is the most expensive indian movie, made with a budget of $72 million and also it has grossed around $150 million so far, making it a boxoffice smasher.

This movie is enthralling, with ballistic thrill ride, filled with heart, jokes, and some of the best action scenes I have ever seen.
If you have seen Bahubali, endeavor to watch this movie.

The same RRR that my better half was watching and shrieking with laughter at how utterly ridiculous the movie is?

Even Martin Scorsese dey cry for box office these days....

Na this same ridiculousness make me never watch the film.

My boss and some close associates one day used almost 30mins describing the ridiculous action scenes in the movie. I nearly died with laughter. See as grown men dey fall for ground with laughter.

Dem say even Bahuballi dey learn work.

I've been trying to watch this movie for two weeks now but the screen time and my state of mind always dissuade me.
There's some kind of preparation that comes with watching some Oscar movies.
You go just know say na to sit down and carefully digest something. If not you go call am crap.

Like I always say, all this gra gra na just for show. People that are actually honest with themselves about the content they want, know where to find them.

Once upon a time in Hollywood 8/10

Nope -- 3/10( I couldn't really vibe to it)

Mortal Kombat -- Snow Blind - 8/10( I'd like to see this again)

Bollywood blockbuster action movies make Fast & Furious look realistic
Never disappoints me whenever I'm in the mood for ridiculous set pieces.

Please any recommendations for movies like The Atonement and the prestige I need movies with a strange twist ...thanks ..

Also the emotional connection with the characters

Young man, the world is governed by revenue. Which of these two movies would you be inclined to promote as the CEO of Netflix? The Gray Man that swallowed $200 million or The Lost Daughter that needed less than $1,000,000. Surely, the one with the larger budget will receive more promotion, but that does not necessarily imply that it is superior to the latter, do well to remember that. Promotion and hype do not guarantee a quality film. It simply means that they have to recover the money spent on manufacturing that garbage.

As for trash movies vomited by the film industry, it has become a worldwide epidemic, it's not limited to Hollywood. You guys are being ridiculous when you contrast the few decent films you've seen from other industries with Hollywood productions that were intended to perform well at the box office (there are other factors that should come into consideration). Even your reviewers on YouTube and other social media platforms are making things worse because they only choose films that they are confident will reach the large audiences.

They drop their trashy reviews, you do the same, and the cycle continues. In the end everything that came out of Hollywood is bad because no one cares about a movie they didn't even hear about (you can't blame them though). The main issue with Hollywood is that they spend money on subpar movies that they then advertise, giving them a terrible reputation in general. That's all.
