Essential Coli-members what's the last thing you watched?

Watching Summer of Sam, I'd like to see Spike Lee do a movie about Studio 54 and the 70s disco scene including the Loft and Paradise Garage.

Hey, i totally get it. I know why they picked the story. Playboy lifestyle, big houses, decadence galore, but outside that, there is no story here. The killer's motivation is the dumbest in film noir history, second only to the steps they took to orchestrate it. A second person was killed because the wrong person got arrested, that was a plot in the book.

Then, Britbox decides to go cheap on the casting, and decides to either omit certain characters or merge them. My mom and I was watching the resolution bewildered, we HAD to go to Wikipedia to find out what happened. other than a 2007 French movie, no one ever bothered to adapt this book from 1944. There is a reason for that.

I skipped this movie before it landed on Hulu because I didn't find the male lead plausible as a love interest. Apparently the producers thought the same thing.

This movie has TWO huge problems, First, if someone sticks a gun in yo face to make you commit a heinous crime, tell them pull the trigger, you're dying anyway.

Second, most relationships fail, at some point, you got to know that a relationship has ran its course, and trying to leverage ppl is only going to make things worse. Obviously, the other person doesn't care about you as much as you care about them. Let it go. And then as a third party caught in the middle, if they are willing to do all this to the love of they life, what do you think they are going to do to you.


so yeah, no recommendations this week

Watched Companion on Max. I would say even knowing the basic premise going on, the story still takes some fun turns I wasn't expecting. Would have leaned into the comedy some more, but an enjoyable watch. Great choice for a closing credit song.

 

[daemonova]

a convoluted mess with a boring exposition leading to a clusterf ending, 5 sleeps

..I thought this was gonna turn out more gruesome than the tedious ending

I only made it halfway through.decent premise but terrible execution. I had to tap out.

Terrible. Aside from a couple decent song choices this shyt was a waste of time.

It's based off the same men are stupid theme as ex machina but I can get behind greed made men dumb instead of angst

You're wrong. Twice

No, I'm pretty sure both movies sucked major donkey dikk. But good for you if you enjoyed them. Bad movies need fans too.

Anthony Hopkins sets up a bait car. Cac breaks in the car and gets locked inside. fukkery ensues. Pretty good for a straight to the streets movie. I'm sure its full of plots holes but it was fun to me.

Mirrors, first time seeing it, was better than I thought it would be, currently watching Night of the Demons for the millionth time

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Havoc - Some fun, bloody shootouts but didn't really blow me away in terms of story/action. Would have liked a few more creative sequences to really make the film pop. It does live up to the title when the action unfolds though.

Finished Companion. I did like the 2nd half of the movie. Decent watch.
