Hi, Dark.
Here I am.
I'm definitely interested in Late Night with the Devil. I'm curious about Red Sun too, I've been meaning to watch it.
Yours (only one):
Immaculate 8/10
I liked it. I guess the various twists, plus the ending, plus the ending, are quite divisive. I really liked the old school atmosphere. Also, shooting it on location helps too in giving it the right vibe, IMO. I liked Sydney Sweeney too.
Mine:
Civil War 8/10
Alex Garland movie, with Kirsten Dunst and Cailee Spaeny. I liked it, it's really well made, I found it quite subtle too. Also, I really liked Cailee Spaeny.
The Boost 4.5/10
It's a Harold Becker movie, with James Woods and Sean Young. It's about a real estate developer who gets successful and makes money for a while, but when things go south in the business, he becomes addicted to cocaine and self destructs. I didn't like it, I liked James Woods but it felt really heavy-handed to me. I know the production was pretty wild and insane, the whole James Woods/Sean Young thing, probably that's got something to do with it.
Cruising 10/10
It's William Friedkin movie, with Al Pacino and Paul Sorvino. It's about a New York cop, who goes udnercover in the underground gay S/M scene, to catch a serial killer and things get out of control for him. It's a masterpiece, IMO. The dark, gritty New York vibe is unbeatable. Also, I think it's genius how it keeps ambigous about the killer(s), it really stays with you. I know Al Pacino and William Friedkin didn't get along at all, but I think he's really great, so subtle. Paul Sorvino is great too.
The Accountant 7.5/10
It's a movie with Ben Affleck, it's about an autistic accountant, who works freelance for cartels, terrorist groups. He gets in trouble with a big tech corporation who hired him and with the Department of Treasure, who's seemingly after him. I enjoyed it, I found it a bit convoluted maybe, but it's fun, Ben Affleck is good. I had guessed one of the twists early on, I have to say, but still...
