Rewatched the last exorcism on Hulu and against all odds it really is a good horror movie. I remember being surprised it wasn't a total piece of poo poo when I saw it in theaters and it really does hold up pretty well. It's pretty drat creepy, compelling and entertaining the whole way through. I'd say it's the only exorcism based horror movie aside from, ya know, the big one that is actually any good.

Is there a name for the sub-genre of horror that consists of things like In The Mouth of Madness, The Tenant, Jacob's Ladder? Maybe existential horror? Where sanity is more at stake than your life is, maybe. In any event, anything on streaming along those lines? Thanks!

I always thought they were "psychological thrillers". Others will have better recs, but maybe The Babadook or The Fly are still on Netflix?

Get the Gringo is back on Netflix.. Highly recommend. It's basically a sequel to Payback A return to peak Mel Gibson.

Hacksaw Ridge is on HBOGO now, is that appropriate for this thread? How the hell did this movie get Oscar nominations? Well, I know how, but I still can't accept it. It's so unbelievably mediocre and I can't believe Garfield's performance in Silence was overshadowed by this one-note performance that's going to be forgotten by next year.

I actually thought he was considerably better in Hacksaw Ridge than in Silence, in part because he didn't have to try and fumble his way through a Portuguese accent. Worst performance I've seen of his is definitely 99 Homes, which is a shame because outside of that it's a pretty good movie.

I went in expecting Vince Vaughn to ruin the movie, but then it turned out that there was no movie to ruin and Vaughn was actually making some scenes mildly entertaining in spite of Gibson's incredibly by-the-numbers filmmaking. I'd compare Hacksaw Ridge to Full Metal Jacket, only if FMJ was made by a boring washed-up director instead of Kubrick.

I'm starting to feel like the only one who actually liked Hacksaw Ridge. Only part that I really thought was bad was the very end with the archive footage of the actual Desmond Doss, that was pretty lame.

Call Me Charlie posted:Season 2 got the greenlight. Cool a good choise So I was giving Bosh a chance and I'm impressed. Can't belive I was waiting so long... Maybee because the show name reminds me at an Tool -factory haha I like the slowness of the show no shaking action sence but on the other side well done violation sence inside. It's one of this rare series like a good band you will every know this song is from them because the drum sound or guitar sound is uniqe. I realy liked it and can't wait for the next season. The backround story about his mother gliming in the backround is extrem nice and good decent placed. I love to see whats coming more in the next season (they a writing on a 4th season) XenJ fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Jul 24, 2017 |

I remember reading that HBO series will start dropping off Prime shortly. Is there an actual date? I Googled it and only saw "fall" on a few sites. I decided to put the suggestions all of you gave me for series similar to Eastbound and Down on the back burner so I could watch The Wire before it leaves. I just finished the first season and want to make sure I can pace myself to finish it before it's gone.

Prime has an HBO add-on so in the worst case scenario you can burn your 7-day free trial if they cut off your supply before you finish something.

The battle scenes in Hacksaw Ridge were like if you took the already borderline macabre black comedy of the opening of Saving Private Ryan and exaggerated it to Sam Raimi splatstick levels. It was very bizarre to have that in the middle of what was otherwise an unremarkable movie that felt like it was trying to sell you on a specific worldview that the director seemed to either not understand or agree with. Also I know it comes with the territory for American films on the Pacific Theater of the war but it felt really off to portray the Japanese the way they were portrayed in what was ostensibly a film about a compassionate pacifist.

Do they make good on the twists introduced at the end of season 1? I was enjoying the show until it went full on Fight Club, complete with a scene where the protagonist beats himself up because he's having a fight with his split personality. Jesus that was bad.
