Don't think you really need to see any tbh, the call backs to the old films actually takes away from the film.

Fair. I'd like to watch a few of the old ones regardless as they're supposed to be good.

Oh if you've never watched them, just watch alien and aliens. All time classics and this movie is mostly a mash up of the two.
If you got time Prometheus isn't terrible, fassbender is great in it and theres interesting concepts introduced, but personally I don't need the world/lore building, we don't need to know how they came to be for them to be effective big bads

Is Being John Malkovich on your list? If you haven't already seen it and it's not on your list it should be.
It's one of my fave movies already Beery.
Local Legends (2013) - Matt Farley is the most prolific singer-songwriter in the world. He has tens of thousands of songs on Spotify, as he has worked out how to make the algorithm work for him. Songs with celebrities’ names in them are occasionally looked for, so he’ll perform a song for every celebrity you can think of. People look for songs with their name in it, so he’ll perform songs for every possible name he can think of. And kids look up silly things, so he has several novelty songs. I believe his “The Poop Song” is his most streamed, with over 6.5 million streams. Most of the songs are less than a minute long, and while Spotify residuals are small, when you have this many songs they all add up and allow him the small funding he requires for his cinematic passion projects.
Local Legends is the movie that basically sets out the modus operandi, something like a biopic of Farley himself - producing music, preparing for a standup gig, getting conned into going to a girl’s apartment when she promises to have the entire Billy Joel discography but only having his Greatest Hits Volumes I-III. The cast of his films are generally the same rotary cast of friends and family from his New Hampshire town, and while most of them aren’t the most polished actors in the world, the whole thing’s a testament to creativity to the best of your abilities and the best of your resources.
Farley has made a sequel this year to this film, and so has made it free on YouTube for the next few days. It’s only 77 minutes long, so if this description in any way interested, give it a watch! And if you don’t vibe with it, oh well. But it’s the only movie I’ve seen where the director puts his actual phone number on the screen halfway through, so at worst you can let him know your thoughts on it.

True it started OK I thought but the film bounced around alot.
The Last Stop In Yuma County- a well shot thriller about a travelling knife salesman that is held hostage by pair of bank robbers that are trapped at a diner waiting for a petrol tanker. Solid without being great. 7/10.
I’m back just restarted at 45 min or thereabouts
I can’t help but think it’s Dance with Wolves 2, and the coming of the people Dunbar hid from Kicking Bird
Rebel Moon Directors Cut Part 1
I was lead to believe this movie was a pile of crap. It is not.
I like the simplicity of the storyline. Recruit party members to fight against the Motherworld. Feels like a video game.
Some characters could have been fleshed out further but then the run time goes up even more.
Is there too much slow motion? Yes but it’s Snyder and you tune it out after a while.
Visuals are impeccable as to be expected with Snyder.
Thoroughly enjoyed the 3 and a half hours of this. I can’t usually sit through a movie of that run time and I was able to stick with this one.
Will be watching Part 2.
7.5/10

Watched A Quiet Place finally
Not bad, in no way would I be trying to have a big family in an apocalypse though
Of course I'd probably be dead, I'm not the survival type
A Good Liar, Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen in a con artist thriller, enjoyed it a lot
Currently watching Centre Stage which I have seen multiple times before after having to pay attention to two new movies

Just had a look at Xac Snyders wiki to see if I’d ever seen any of his films. See his name bandied about a bit here usually attached to things that don’t interest me.
Sure enough, haven’t seen a single one of his films and each to their own and all that, but looking at his filmography that ain’t about to change.

That's what I'd do too
I think you either like his films or don’t.
I haven’t watched a bad film of his. They all range from watchable to good.
EDIT: Actually BvS kinda sucks. Probably his worst.
Centre Stage is so good. I haven't seen it in ages, will have to chuck it on tonight.
I can’t get into his films - I really think he is a style over substance film maker. What he produces looks good on the surface but is pretty terrible underneath.

Tell ya the last movie i DIDN'T watch - Borderlands
Looked a turkey from the trailers, 4.4 on IMDB - 10% on RT - 26% on Metacritic
Did Cate Blanchett lose a bet or something ??

Interestingly the original script was written by Chernobyl/The Last of Us writer maybe she was attached to that but then Eli Roth has absolutely butchered it to what it is now.
That or she just needed an easy paycheck

He's a bit of a mixed bag. 300 and Zack Snyder's Justice League are both excellent. Rebel Moon was terrible and I didn't finish it.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die
2 hours of fun. Lots of mindless, fun action scenes. Smith and Lawerence have great chemistry and work well off each other. Some funny lines in there too.
4/5

So finished Horizon
It came together well enough. He has attempted the sweeping epic; it’s not David Lean epic because of his decision I think to have too many story arcs. Don’t think we saw white on Native conflict in DWW it’s a step up to see it on film.
I read that the move to drop it on streaming was to attract audience attention for Pt 2 and 3 and apparently Pt 4.
It’s a clever move because it has hooked us for the sequels
