🎥 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 “John Wick” vibe.
🎥 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.
🎥 Watching: Sicario

🎥 Watched: Longlegs (2024)
FBI Agent Lee Harker is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer. 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
🎥 Watching: The Dead Don’t 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.

🎥 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 70’s era serial killer movie genre. Takes a while for the story to ramp up, but is decent overall.
3.5 / 5
🎥 Watched: Leave the World Behind
A family's getaway to a luxurious rental home takes an ominous turn when a cyberattack knocks out their devices, and two strangers appear at their door.Leave the World Behind on IMDB
Netflix has the worst volume differential between the dialogue and the music in their movies.
If you adjust the volume so the music doesn’t blow your ears out, you can’t hear the dialogue, so you turn it up and some more music plays and it’s loud as fuck!
Ugh I’m so old! 😜
