finished watching Werewolves 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
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.

finished watching Get Away 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
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.

finished watching Point Nemo 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
Este bodrio hace que Lost se remueva en su tumba, y mira que si a mí me pones un monstruo o una isla con escotillas herrumbrosas me conformo, que soy la clase de tolai al que debería gustarle esto, pero ni así.
Aunque me sabe mal dejar una mala opinión, porque al final estas cosas las hace gente con buena intención y que es fan de los mismos clichés que yo, lo máximo que puedo hacer es evitar enumerar y poner a caer de un burro cada aspecto que no funciona.

finished watching Fight or Flight 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
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.

finished watching 满江红 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
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.

started watching The Studio
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.
