The Dark Tower is due for adaptation? Great!! They better not mess it up like they have done with Salem's Lot, which indeed is one of the scariest King novels and I am truly amazed at the negative reviews it has been receiving.

Moulin Rouge!......6.5/10

It's a tragic love story about a poetry writer falling in love with a highly sought after courtesan.

This is definitely one of the loudest and [i]chaotically filmed, edited [/i]and sound mixing or scoring I've ever seen in an opening 30 mins for a movie.

Naaaa, fukkkk all this peace shíte . If you actually read my post and you failed to understand. Fk U and your thinking faculty.

Kaycee7:
More likely that you're the one failing at understanding but your thinking faculty, though I doubt it exists, lacks the range to consider that perspective.

Also, if you're going to lead with "fukk all this peace shite", follow up with some actual smoke. The above post doesn't even amount to vapour

Chibudollar:
brooo. Rightly said. Two people go dey tongue kiss passionately them go tell me say they were just acting.

Kaycee7:
The funniest thing about posts like this is that the people having these opinions no go even see C-list actress to talk to.
Worrying about problems you'll never have 🤣😂

Oddity......8/10

Really good horror flick. Top tier writing and storytelling.
People say it's probably the scariest horror flick of the year, but I didn't see that. Just got the adequate doom and gloom and pristine suspense right from the start. Good jumpscares here and there.
Solid plot without an over reliance on the supernatural to explain away plot points. Instead, the supernatural themes perfectly complements and adds a sense of mystery to a well grounded storyline.

The strength lies in the acting, eerie atmosphere and chilling score.
Good return to form for the horror genre. Got the basics right without relying on over-the-top jump scares and overly loud sound effects.



Time to check Longlegs for another "scariest" title of 2024.

The simplicity was the charm. It was extremely well done..no dilly dally....just straight to the business of the day 👍🏾. This and "Exhuma" (2024)" are probably my best horror flick from this year.

The horror genre had quite a run this year, each month for like the last 3 or 4 months or so, has had a major horror release.


And back to "Oddity", Them Irish really do know how to make movies and shows, so if you see any Irish production, don't think, don't fuss, just pick it up and watch ✌🏾

Illusioneffect:
All Baz Luhrmann movies are so chaotic it's head-aching: The Great Gatsby is the worst. I couldn't understand the movie at all because of all the unnecessary camera movements and chaotic dialogue. Only Elvis was slowed down

abduleez1:
It was darn too good. Didn't know it was Irish produced.
Exhuma is also amongst my horror list.

This is probably the best year ever for horror genre in a long time. And has good variety too.

Have you watched "The Watchers"? How's it like?

oyaskii:
That wasn't an original irish production lol. It was WB and was written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan's young daughter, so it reeked of nepotism, and it was even a problem during the film's promotional presser, as people where so sure she was never gonna get in that directors chair, if not for the calibre of her dad in the industry.

Anyways, the movie it's self is just there, good build up and all but fails to properly capitalize on it. It is nothing close to how good the book was.

oyaskii:
Wait o. Horror flicks constitute about 70% of the total films i have logged this year 💀😅. I am not even joking, the genre totally ate this year and left no crumbs. I need to see "The Substance" to complete this list, shame it ain't playing around me, and with "Slow Mubi" handling the distribution, it might not arrived on VOD till next year 😩

I still can't believe they haven't rebooted Needful Things, it's the first big I've ever reread more than 6 times as a teenager- one of my best books

Bruh, I concede. 😩😩
I don't think Todd Phillips will have a job anymore for a high budget big studio project in the near future. The man has burnt bridges and is a living cautionary tale as to why studios supervises Directors.

There's some people you don't just give full creative control to. This is a big example of what can go wrong when Studios don't "interfere". A reminder to fans of IPs why at times its good for studio execs to bútt in at some point or have an executive central figure giving general directions to a franchise.

Its like he hates the project. And decided to shït in it. First major shït that the new WB heads will have to deal with that comes directly from them.


At least I'm glad DC Studios and James Gunn is not a part of this project. We're having a good start to life to the future with DC Studios first production in THE PENGUIN tv series.
