Not sure I'd say I liked it. I appreciated how unapologetically weird the characters and dialogue were, and how it spun the usual tropes into something a bit different. I wouldn't call it a horror movie though. It was closer to parody.

Certainly unique though.

Kind of how I felt about it. I sort of liked it, but I couldn't really tell you why, and thankfully it was pretty short. The hot girl walking around naked for almost the entire movie definitely helped to keep me watching though. I didn't really appreciate her body as much as she deserved at first, but eventually I realized she's superbly built. At least they didn't go the way of most "horror" movies lately where apparently nudity is a bad thing. I mean, don't these people even watch old movies? Titties and horror go together!

I need a date night movie for tomorrow. 4th date, she’s coming over, we’re cooking dinner. Then some Netflix and chill, I think is what the kids call it these days?

Bad Lieutenant, SwitchBlade Romance, The Green Inferno, Irreversible, I Spit on Your Grave, and Braindead are all perfect date movies.

Do you have any idea of what she might like ? If you want to go pure mainstream romantic comedy, my pick would be Love Actually. It has 8 stories in parallel, with different tones and types of characters, so there should be something for everyone. The finale is a stand out because it jumps from the conclusion of a story to another so the spectators is moved and happy and sad and laughing all at the same time. It still has a good dose of schmaltz (as one of the review quoted on rotten tomato put it - I checked to see if I was the only one to have fond memories of this film), but if it does not do the trick you can always blame Szlia from the internet.

Good question! Don’t think I ever even saw that film. Was never in to romcoms. She is pretty “girly” and might be down for that. Was leaning towards a comedy anyways.

We went with Long Shot. It was pretty standard fare Seth Rogen. Had some laugh at loud parts and cheesy romance, was a little long at just over 2 hrs, but enjoyable.

Silent Hill revelation. Incomprehensible.

Watched a movie called Mortal this weekend. Pretty weird, but interesting and I enjoyed watching it. Hard to talk about too much without giving stuff away (although just reading the official description gives away too much I feel). An American guy is alone out in the woods of Norway and has weird shit happen around/to him that he can't control, like water flowing in weird ways, shit catching on fire, electricity/storms, etc. Ends up getting arrested and a Norwegian chick psychologist is called in to try to talk to him before the people from the American embassy come take him away.

Dude speaks English, as do most of the people when talking directly to him, but most everyone else speaks Norwegian and it is subtitled. Didn't bother me one bit with how that was done. One thing that I enjoyed was that the "head" of the American people would almost universally have been an "old white guy" lately. Yet in this one it was a brown chick being the asshole, so that was nice.

Some descriptions were calling it the "Norwegian Chronicle." I mean, I guess that's sort of close, but that's kind of stretching it. Still, that gives you a bit of an idea. I enjoyed it well enough. 6/10, with nothing wrong with it, just nothing to really elevate it either. Worth a watch, but don't expect to be blown away.
