Chopping Mall (1986) 80's Mall, teens, robots, death and boobies.
I just saw this for the first time last night in 35mm. Yeah that pretty much sums up this movie.

Doctor Sleep. I love The Shining so I had to check it out. Worth watching if you're into the first movie, but not essential viewing. It actually feels like two movies in one. It's part Shining sequel, and part weird Stephen King cult movie.
Great if you like people getting shot in the head at point blank range, cause that shit happens at least 300 times. Also great if you like unlimited ammo with very little reloading. In one scene Halle Berry lets off about 35 shots from what looks like a pretty standard handgun, while her attack dogs bite plenty of bad guy crotch. Is it supposed to be funny? The stabbings and rampant sword impaling should have created way more blood.
A few goddamned questions... Why are all these trained "assassins" such terrible shots? The Imperial Stormtroopers have a better hit rate, and they couldn't hit the side a barn in broad daylight. When there's more than two of these so-called assassins, why do they wait to engage until assassin one has been flipped and then killed in some bizarre Keanu martial art discipline. Why doesn't assassin two shoot John Wick when he is busy doing some of this flipping?
It is extremely entertaining! Super fun action packed film loaded with really cool action sequences and special effects, and a solid storyline. I would watch it again - one of the best action flicks I have seen. NOT appropriate for children. Lots of profanity and off colour humour and violence.

Finally got around to seeing this and loves it- watched it last night and again tonight. It was a somewhat different scene in San Francisco and Northern California, so I always like getting more footage from Southern Cal. It definitely makes me wish I'd spent more time down there back then, though I did some.
I also really like the younger artists carrying on the tradition of the music. Nicely done, Jakob and company!

Fantastic Fungi (2019) Interesting and well done documentary about mushrooms and fungi. A portion of the movie gives insight into current research about the medical uses for psylicibin.

I watched the trailer. Looks interesting. Any good?
If you enjoyed Let the right one in (a vampire story painted with swedish social realism) then you get something similiar here. As in most of the authors books.
But it wasn't the best movie ever. But worth a watch.

So my wife loved the novel Let the Right One In but refused to watch the film because of how fucked up the novel is. I told her that the film is actually not too fucked up and even kind of sweet, but she still won't watch it.
I'm kind of the same way with American Psycho, except I didn't really love that novel (or anything really by that hack), and I definitely don't want to see scenes from it onscreen. I have, however, had everyone tell me that the film is great. While that could be true, I just don't see how any film with Christian Bale playing a lead role can be considered great.
Dumb. Great lead acting role (great!) but everyone saying that was an amazing movie? We have a different view on what an amazing movie is
I'm with you a bit.
Was underwhelmed when I saw it in the theater, probably cause of all the hype. Phoenix was good for sure, but the overall film just seemed to be lacking something to me.

I've read the book (Låt den rätte komma in / Let the right one in) also, and it made me at the time really wish that the film was a miniseries instead. To fit all the subplots and give all the characters some space. But force her to watch the movie.
American psycho (the book) I read in 2004 but skipped the chapters about rats and heads in fridges. I never have any urge to rewatch the movie. But it is a great movie.
Regarding A New Beginning, is it the worst in the franchise. It feels very much a paint by numbers sequel following the former one. You get teenagers getting killed. More naked girls. And with no real tension and with Tommy just being in his constant psychosis.
But Jason Takes Manhattan would still be worse, or as bad. And I don't like part 3.
EDIT: Jason Goes to Hell is obviously the worst.

Definitely worth the watch but pretty bizarre.
Alright, alright, alright!
