π₯ Watched The Surfer

Do not watch! Itβs absolutely terrible.
πΊ Watched Lovecraft Country
Lovecraft Country follows Atticus Freeman as he joins up with his friend Letitia and his Uncle George to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father. This begins a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the terrifying monsters that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback.
Terrifying in so many ways.

New Season! π
πΊ The Great North has been one of my favourite discoveries this year, super funny, really dry humour, and quite weird.
And thereβs 5 seasons of it! π»
πΊ Loved the second season of Andor! I think I’m going to rewatch it from the very first episode through Rogue One seeing as that portion of the arc is pretty much complete now.
π₯ Watched: The Killing Game
When a hitman is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decides to take a hit out on himself. But when the very hitmen he hired also target his ex-girlfriend, he must fend off an army of assassin colleagues.
Not a bad movie, full of all the cliches you’d expect from the genre, kind of a fun βJohn Wickβ vibe.
π₯ Watching: MaXXXine
In 1980s Hollywood adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.
There’s a certain weirdness and awkwardness that Mia Goth brings to her roles that works quite well for the characters she tends plays.
π₯ Watching: Sicario
An idealistic FBI agent is enlisted by a government task force to aid in the escalating war against drugs at the border area between the U.S. and Mexico.
πΊ Just finished season one of The Gentlemen
When aristocratic Eddie inherits the family estate he discovers that it’s home to a huge weed empire and its proprietors aren’t going anywhere.
Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

π
π₯ Watched: Longlegs (2024)

As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.
Kinda meh, despite Nicholas Cage being quite creepy as the killer. 2/5
πΊ Started Watching: La Palma
A Norwegian family vacationing in La Palma faces chaos when a researcher discovers imminent volcanic eruption signs that could trigger a massive tsunami.
π
πΊ Watching: Secret Level

From the creators of Love, Death & Robots. Very good!
π₯ Watching: The Dead Donβt Die
The focus is on the sleepy small town of Centerville where the dead become undead.
A dark and dry comedy zombie movie with an absolute stellar cast, including Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Chloe Sevigny, Danny Glover, Steve Buscemi, Tilda Swinton, Tom Waits, Iggy Pop, and Selena Gomez.
π§ββοΈ
π₯ Watched: Woman Of The Hour
Sheryl Bradshaw, a single woman looking for a suitor on a hit 1970s TV show, chooses charming bachelor Rodney Alcala, unaware that, behind the man’s gentle facade, he hides a deadly secret.
Bit of a different take on the 70βs era serial killer movie genre. Takes a while for the story to ramp up, but is decent overall.
3.5 / 5
