Last movie you've watched

[DenizESC]

Oh boy, oh boy. Ari Aster did it again. I can not believe it. I adored his debut, Hereditary. That crazy horror film stayed with me a long time after I watched it. His second film Midsommar was even more a nuts experience. I had tears of I don't know what by the end of it. It was such a depraved, awkward and yet utterly beautiful experience. I really was super shook by it all. This absolutely isn't going to be for everyone. You'll need a crazy stomach to begin with as things get wild, but if you're up for a shocking time in Sweden then please try this out. It's a beautiful, flowery, sun-kissed nightmare. You won't find anything else quite like it.

I really hated this one XD watched it 2 times in the cinema. It was just funny to me. Also to me it was really forcing to make Sweden this crazy creepy destination with that whole subculture, which I'm sure Sweden is interesting and creepy in ways but this one I didn't feel, the way it brought it was kinda cringe to me and with the Americans gave me typical hollywood 90s vibes in its plot, despite the 'unique' story. I agree there is nothing quite like it and it seemed that's what they were going for so that's a success. Sorry for this hate XD but I remember just having a whole lmao wtf moment even with the random ppl in the cinema on the same row. 1/10 to me. I watched a lot of horror movies this year and it was the worst and least enjoyable one for sure. The worst horror movie of the century probably even.

The sex scene where the grandma pushes the guy in the girl got me most lmao that's a 10/10 though for that. And the majority of people really liked it and it has great reviews so it's probably just me XD once again sorry for going way hard

@DaFlo btw u weren't kidding when u said blue is in show. I'm at 7/26, soon review coming but lot's of positivity loading

I like unique and weird, but only when it is genuine not unique, weird and crazy for the sake of being unique weird and crazy

@DenizESC so then my idea for a horror film where tourists from UK and America are invited to Turkey for a traditional lip-sync festival, where they find out the performances are actually ceremonial lip-syncs to the death to give fresh virgin blood to the goddess Banu Alkan, in an effort to keep her eternally young and beautiful... you no likey?

Midsommar was fiction. Swedish people are known though for their hospitality and the strange and unique thing about this horror film is that despite there being many characters who were doing bad, despicable things, there wasn't really anyone there to hate. The cultists were all lovely in fact. I'd stay with them, especially Pelle

(I'd just make sure I have a cute little pistol in my pocket). If anyone, Christian's behaviour was troublesome and highlighted. We see Dani in immense grief at the start of the film after she loses her sister and parents in the suicide murder. She needed someone at that moment in time to share her pain with and Christian was there, but never fully 100% as a partner should be. He forgets Dani's birthday, is tired of receiving her calls and then as the ultimate act of betrayal takes part in the sex ritual. Up until that point I wouldn't have said Christian was a bad person, but what's shocking is that Dani was finding the comfort, love and sense of family she so desperately needed in this cult. That part at the end of the film where Dani had to choose between Christian and a random lotto chosen villager for who was going to be the final sacrifice.. gosh. That was a visceral experience for me that I cannot explain. I think that's got to be one of my favourite movie endings ever. It was so disturbing and Dani's tears that turned to a grin as she's moped about in front of the inflamed temple. My arse got kicked. Dani had finally found her family. People that loved her, gave her attention and could feel her pain.

You're not alone though Deniz. The film was very divisive. Most people loved it or hated it, kind of similar to Hereditary.

Yes! So Christmasy. The Philosopher's Stone and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe are good films to watch at Christmas too I think!

Rene Zellweger is AMAZING in it. The movie is ok...

Just watched CLUELESS (Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd)

I heard it was a cult classic, so I have high expectation
Falls just below my expectation, maybe I compared it too much to Mean Girls/Legally Blonde

Yesterday I watched "Independence Day", one of my favourite movies. It´s a great mixture of action and funny moments.

 

[Sammy]

I was extremely touched by the crucial scene in the last third of the movie (which of course I will not spoil here).
And what a great performance or Elyas M'Barek!

The last movie I saw was a series: season 3 of Twin Peaks. I loved the series before, and this last season was just fantastic, very David Lynch-like. Love all his movies. Full of mysteries, melancholy and nostalgia, combined with unbelievable soundtrack.
