I'll... Try and do the same. :lol: :snail:

I know I last saw a Hallmark Movie but I can't remember which one right now. I think it was Harvest Moon.

The Girl on the Train - Emily Blunt was brilliant in this and I loved the mystery throughout. It was a rewatch but still great! :)

Unforgettable - Katherine Heigl was okay but a good watch.

A Sister's Nightmare - kind of bland as a thriller, but it was nice to see Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford and Matthew Settle reunited on screen! :)

Synopsis ~ A police officer's life goes into a tailspin the day her older sister shows up at her door after 16 years of confinement in a psychiatric hospital.

Vanity Fair (2004)

This movie's biggest strength is the costume design. The costumes are so, so gorgeous. As a reinterpretation of Thackeray, it's only semi-successful imo. I like that it opts for a more optimistic tone and a more feminist and postcolonial reading of the book. But, unfortunately, the way the movie executes this idea feels a bit shallow. That could be because the characters we're meant to empathize with (women, lower classes, colonized people) are devoid of any flaws. This is most obvious with Becky and Amelia. Becky is much more ethical than she is in the book, while Amelia is much more lively and defiant. I guess it doesn't help that the movie is trying to fit an 850- page novel into a 2.5-hour movie. The characterization maybe suffers a lack of depth - in part at least - because of that. I'm not sure if I would have liked the movie at all had I not read the book because the characters' motivation is kind unclear from the movie itself. The social criticism also lacks depth and nuance. The “aristocratic and bourgeois English men are awful” is hammered in very clearly, but the criticism pretty much stops there. With all that said, it is a pretty and fun movie with some good ideas behind it, so I definitely don't regret giving it a chance.

I'm Not Here - It was good and a little and sad but the ending was abrupt though.

Heavy trip (2018)

Plot summary from IMDB because I'm too lazy to summarize it myself: Turo (25) is trying to overcome his fears by leading the most unknown metal band in Finland, Impaled Rektum, to the hottest metal festival of Norway. The journey includes metal, grave robbing, Viking heaven and an armed conflict between Finland and Norway.

I really struggled to get through it at the beginning. The characters were too caricaturish, the jokes either too cliché or too dumb. I continued watching only because a couple of my friends recommended it and the plot sounded fun. Fortunately, after the first 20 mins, it did get much more interesting. Overall, the movie did a far better job with sympathetically poking fun at metalheads, village/small community mentality and Nordic countries (chiefly Finland and Norway) than I would have expected judging by its unpromising start. And I loved Pasi/Xytrax from the get go, despite him being more of a caricaturish cliche of a black metal fan than a successful parody of black metal fan. But I guess that was done to make the movie more palpable to the general audience, which is fine.

There's a new BBC mini-series of this as well starring Olivia Cooke, known for her role in Bates Motel! :nod:

Red Riding Hood - This was more interesting than I think people give it credit for. I really enjoyed the story and the cast was great with Amanda Seyfried, Shiloh Fernandez, Billy Burke and Gary Oldman.

Pan's Labyrinth - This is one of my favourite foreign films ever from Guillermo Del Toro, fantastic film and great story!

12 Monkeys - Nothing like a great Bruce Willis flick but this is such a mind bender of a film and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Brad Pitt's role, though small is so memorable as well!

The Prestige - Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman really bring life to this film in a way that is so unexpected. The twist is amazing as well and the first time I watched, I never saw it coming!

The Wolfman - Love Anthony Hopkins and the supporting cast with Emily Blunt and Benicio Del Toro was brilliant casting. The story is intense and there's a twist you just don't really see coming that I loved. Plus Hugo Weaving as Abbeline was brilliant!

Dracula Untold - New take on the Vlad the impaler story and Luke Evans and Sarah Gadon give great performances!

Captain Marvel-I love Marvel movies...I've seen them all but this one...man..it bothered me. As a female....its great to see a female lead in a superhero movie but I think they just missed the mark. It was just wasn't spectacular or exciting..it was missing something that the other superhero movies have. Samuel L. Jackson, Clark Gregg and one of my favorites Jude Law were all excellent. Not recommended.

The Ring [2002] - Probably the only remake I consider 'superior' to the original (it's all subjective, of course). Terrifying, well acted, very suspenseful, with one of the greatest opening scenes to a movie of all time. 5/5

I loved The Ring. :nod:

The Possession of Hannah Grace (2018) - :star::star: Such a disappointment. Not a great film in the least.

The Lookout (2007) - :star::star::star: I enjoyed this. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars in this drama/crime about a young man who suffers a traumatic brain injury due to a car accident and has to write things down or he won't remember them.

A not so nice guy who knows of his previous career in hockey takes advantage of his job at a bank to plan a heist.

Also stars Matthew Goode, Jeff Daniels and Isla Fisher.

Match Point (2005) - :star::star::star::star: I really enjoyed this romance/crime. I did not expect the twist with the killing the first time I watched and the cast a whole was really great with Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Scarlett Johansson, Emily Mortimer, Matthew Goode, and Brian Cox.

The Lookout is a great movie! Very underrated

^^ It really is. I really enjoyed the story and Jeff Daniels was a great surprise in the film, He was awesome.

Plus Matthew Goode was very good at being bad! :lol:

Love Under the Rainbow - It was a very heartwarming and cute Hallmark movie. I'd give it a 3.5/5.

^^ Some of those Hallmark films can be really cheesy but some are really sweet too! :nod:
