This could have been a fun dark comedy, but Shyamalan Shyamalaned it all over the place. Again.
Welp, at least it was nice seeing Zekey boy.

Pretty bad, not gonna lie, but the 80's aesthetics give it some undeserved charm. If you only ask for neon lights and practical explosions (which look so much better than CGI fire), you might as well watch it.
And the antagonist uses a flying alien CD that kills people, so there's that too.

finished watching Dredd 馃寱馃寱馃寱馃寱馃寳
My interior dialogue while watching Dredd:
- I can't believe so many people didn't realize this movie was antifa, maybe if that theme was more developed...
- Well, people did the same thing with Starship Troopers and that one wasn't subtle, it was in your face antifa
- Shut up, some people thought Homelander from The Boys was the good guy
- ... *draws paralells with real people, real voters*... *dies inside a little bit more*

Don't try to make theology entertaining, it isn't.
I'll guess I'll give it a 5 because there's a diorama (dioramas are cool) and a Hugh Grant (Hugh Grant is, that's enough for me), but I really resent all the pseudo-intellectual blabber.
Nah, back to 4 stars.

Can you trust oil companies to lead the green transition? Is deep sea mining for rare metals better than drilling for oil? Will having a lesbian couple on the show enrage conservatives? The answer might not surprise you!

finished watching Deepwater Horizon 馃寱馃寱馃寳馃寫馃寫
The movie takes the perspective of a group of workers whose lives don't matter to a greedy, murdereous corporation like BP. That's true and fine, but the problem with these corporations is much larger and is killing way, way more people than the ones we see here.
None of that is adressed by the movie in any way. In fact, this might be the kind of anti-oil movie that a Trump voter would like: no pollution, no climate change, no capitalism as organized apocalypse machine (but we do have greedy incompetent bosses and a working class, that's something), instead, the scope narrows on the personal drama of the working man who is screwed by the company. And the spectacular "accident" itself.
It's an effective strategy for an entertaining movie, but unlesss I've missed something, this was a missed opportunity.

Maybe, if I cared about any of the characters, I could appreciate everything this movie is excellent at. But I didn't and I couldn't.
Or maybe not, maybe I didn't care because I'm too tired of remakes and new takes and retellings and the same thing under another perspective or whatever excuse producers use this week to hide their fear of not making their ROI.
Fuck you, suits, I watched this for Eggers and Skarsg氓rd, because I like them, because they're current, there was no need to squeeze the past yet again.
Minus too many stars because you're cowards.

finished watching Werewolves 馃寱馃寱馃寳馃寫馃寫
Pros: Hazmat suits, werewolves and lots of lens flares. Lou Diamond Philips is the president or something. The supermoon thing is a cool silly idea. Has some practical effects. Frank Grillo isn't as douchey as usual. Patriotic preppers aren't cool.
Cons: Do you know those B-movies that have something special? The ones that get to have a little place in your heart? Werewolves isn't one of those.
Thrashing it with a lower star count would make me feel guilty, I think they actually tried, but this is a watch and forget flick.

This could have worked as a short film, but there just isn't enough going on here to drag a movie for one and a half hours.
Anyway, I can't give Nick Frost less than 5/10. I would if I could.

finished watching Companion
This will offend the Jordan Peterson's fanboy type, which is a plus, but seems a bit... off. Not sure if this is the right way to tackle the heavy topics this movie ends up talking about. Does it try to be feminist but fails? Does it get it right but, as a movie, it isn't that good? I don't know enough to tell.
Not rating it because I'm not sure about how many stars it should get, not because it's a zero stars flick. Also, I hate rating things.

Este bodrio hace que Lost se remueva en su tumba, y mira que si a m铆 me pones un monstruo o una isla con escotillas herrumbrosas me conformo, que soy la clase de tolai al que deber铆a gustarle esto, pero ni as铆.
Aunque me sabe mal dejar una mala opini贸n, porque al final estas cosas las hace gente con buena intenci贸n y que es fan de los mismos clich茅s que yo, lo m谩ximo que puedo hacer es evitar enumerar y poner a caer de un burro cada aspecto que no funciona.

Sometimes fun over the top violence, with music, lots of colour and an unexpected commentary about Big Tech's power and our supply chain. I liked it better than Bullet Train and a lot more than Snakes on a Plane.
