Drags through too many clever twists and turns, but the ending makes up for the overly long runtime.

I don't care what anyone says, this is Peak Tom Hanks and the best Rear Window cover. Thank you, Joe Dante.

finished watching See How They Run 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
I'm not a whodunnit kind of guy, but this? I loved it. A mid budget film, great cast where every single face is fun to watch, carefully lit, colourful but thanks to its production design instead of forced digital grading, some self aware jokes that actually land, killer dialog for Adrien Brody, Pemberton nails most of the soundtrack... everything that's missing from most movies today, the precise things I like, this flick has them.
I could say that the first act is better than the rest, or compare it to Knives Out / Glass Onion, or that sometimes the shots are a bit too Wesandersony, but I'm just grateful these kind of movies are still a thing.

I had no expectations for this one, but it's making *me* feel empathy for a spineless suit whose job is to purge artistic vision from movies. Don't underestimate it, only a great show can pull that off.

finished watching Predators 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
Today I saw the new Predator trailer (is it me or did they make a young, handsome predator??) and thought: welp, maybe Predators 2010 wasn't that bad after all, at least it wasn't a CGI-fest. So I gave it another try and, after all these years, was disappointed again.
But hey, Adrien Brody tried, he could never have saved this flick, but he tried his best. That has to count for something.

finished watching Alien: Romulus 🌗🌑🌑🌑🌑
I wanted to take another look at the sets, lighting, production design... I should have watched the making of, maybe some stills, because I can't focus on the visuals, not while this... this remix of old elements posing as a new movie annoys me.
finished watching The Bondsman 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Kevin Bacon uses a chainsaw to fight demons.
If you need more info, this show is not for you. If that's all you need to know to watch it, you'll enjoy it a bit more than you're expecting, it manages to find its own personality despite being highly derivative.

finished watching The Eternaut 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
It's unfair that this show feels derivative, I'm sure the source material was groundbreaking and influenced lots of stories that came after, but that's the problem: we've seen all of this a thousand times. They're tropes now, we should have made this show decades ago or not at all.
Maybe, hear me out because this might be a radical idea, just maybe, we should stop recycling old ideas and put our money on the new ones.
And maybe I should stop listening to the internet telling me to watch this or that Most Important Thing.

finished watching The Asphyx 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
Remember the movies by Roger Corman and Vincent Price based on Poe's stories? Maybe that team and some intensive rewrites could have turned the idea of this flick into a proper cult classic.
Sadly, that wasn't the case, The Asphyx has all of the cheese and none of the charm.

finished watching Black Sails Season 4
I can't believe that a show that started so bad, and I mean Bad, ended up being so engaging and thought provoking.
Maybe I underestimated it so hard that I made a big deal of a few redeeming qualities, but maybe it gradually became good. I just finished the last episode and I'm still puzzled by the trip, so I might have to rewatch it some day to make up my mind.
In any case, I recommend searching "black sails woke" on your least annoying search engine and enjoy the copious amounts of fash tears that you'll find.
