Here I am, very very, late. [img src="http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/CBubFSUbXfyoLMZUjeBb.gif" alt="" class="smile" style="max-width:100%;"]
It sucks when that happens. [img style="max-width:100%;" class="smile" src="http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/CBubFSUbXfyoLMZUjeBb.gif" alt=""] A virus?
Yours:
Ferrari 8/10
I liked it, actually. [img class="smile" alt="" src="http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/fDNOMYWwtDsMxdpbcTXP.gif" style="max-width:100%;"] The crash scenes were maybe a bit iffy, but still...Both Adam DXriver and Penelope Cruz were good. I liked Shailene Woodley too.
Street Smart 8/10
Cool that you watched it. [img style="max-width:100%;" class="smile" src="http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/CBubFSUbXfyoLMZUjeBb.gif" alt=""] I liked it more than you. [img class="smile" src="http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/CBubFSUbXfyoLMZUjeBb.gif" alt="" style="max-width:100%;"]
Broken Flowers 9/10
I haven't seen it in a while, bit I remember really loving it.
Silver Linings Playbook 7.5/10
I enjoyed it, but I thought it was a bit overrated.
Red Rock West 8/10
I haven't seen it in quite some time but I remember liking it. [img src="http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/fDNOMYWwtDsMxdpbcTXP.gif" alt="" class="smile" style="max-width:100%;"]
Mine:
Anyone but You 7/10
It's the movie with Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell. It's O.K., I thought it was fun, Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell are good together, they make the movie. [img style="max-width:100%;" class="smile" alt="" src="http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/fDNOMYWwtDsMxdpbcTXP.gif"]
The Last Circus 6/10
It's an Alex De La Iglesia movie, it's about a clown working in a circus who falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, who's already married to another clown, who's a pretty brutal, violent guy. I thought it was so-so, I couldn't really get into it. I liked the lead actress though, Carolina Bang.
Q - The Winged Serpent 8/10
It's a Larry Cohen movie, with Michael Moriarty and David Carradine. It's about the Quetzacoatl, the mythical giant bird, that shows up in New York eating people, afyer a serie of Aztec human sacrifices rituals happen in the city. I liked it, I like the gritty New York vibe. The monster is pretty good, it's made with the stop motion effects. Noth Michael Moriarty and David Carradine are really good. The cast is cool in general, there's Richard Roundtree too, in it.
Poor Things 9/10
It's Yorgo Lanthimos movie, with Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe. It's pretty wild, surreal and insane, it blew me away. [img alt="" src="http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/fDNOMYWwtDsMxdpbcTXP.gif" class="smile"] It's very kinky and sensual too. It's not for everybody, but, yeah, I though it was fantastic. [img alt="" src="http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/CBubFSUbXfyoLMZUjeBb.gif" class="smile" style="max-width:100%;"] Visually, it's out of this world. [img style="max-width:100%;" class="smile" src="http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/fDNOMYWwtDsMxdpbcTXP.gif" alt=""] Emma Stone is really amazing. Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe are also great. I'm surprise Willem Dafoe wasn't nominated for an Oscar, actually. It's the kind of performance the Academy goes for, usually, IMO.
