It's #LetterboxdFriday and that means #LastFourWatched, and it's been a mostly good line-up.
#LetterboxdFriday means #LastFourWatched, and one of these films is not like the others.
Been a while since I scratched a square off my Movie Poster, so here's my first one in a while. It didn't specify which HOUSE OF WAX version was listed, so I watched the 2005 edition. It was fine. Good set design, creepy locations, gnarly kills, but I was not sold on characters or performances.
I just had a life-changing experience watching TAMMY AND THE T-REX (the gore cut.) A film that was written in a week because they had access to an animatronic T-Rex for 2 weeks, and it shows. One of the most hilariously bonkers films I have seen, I look forward to watching it countless more times.
Between Shrinking, Rooster, and the Scrubs revival, I love that Bill Lawrence shows are on the rise again. Even if he isn't showrunning, the mixture of laughs and sadness still hits me as it did in my teenage years.
It's #LetterboxdFriday so here are my #LastFourWatched. 🎵One of these things is not like the others🎵
It's #LetterboxdFriday so here are my #LastFourWatched. It was a solid run rounded off by utter shite.
PILLION is an excellent feature debut from Harry Lighton, pairing together Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård for a sub-dom rom-com. A gripping and sweet tale of consent and understanding our own sexual identities. See it when its out on November 28th.
I'm in a unique position here, because after #LetterboxdFriday I have a new #LastFourWatched thanks to a quadruple bill on October 31st.
It's #LetterboxdFriday and that means it's time for a #LastFourWatched. Amidst Halloween viewings, one of these films is not like the other.
It's been a good time watching movies lately. #LastFourWatched #Letterboxd
A cinema trip tonight to watch THE FLY. An opportunity to scratch off another square, to experience this grotesque masterpiece on the big-screen, and to see the most heartbreaking tale which has a severed cock in a jar.
I didn't know which version of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS this square meant, so I watched both the 1956 and 1978 versions before scratching it off. The '56 film is great, unsettling in its own right, but the '78 film is a terrifying masterpiece. A great way to spend a day.
Another square scratched off, and I watched KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE. I enjoyed the commitment to the bit and had fun with the zany tone, but it did wear thin on me and left the film outstaying its welcome.
2025 has been a fantastic year for horror, given us outstanding genre entries that highlight the many unique voices propelling horror forward. On an unrelated note, THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2 is rubbish. A middle chapter of a trilogy that is a frustratingly elongated and tiresome chase. Boar-ing!
Turned my evening into a Stephen King double-bill by rewatching THE SHINING (as part of my Hooptober challenge). It remains as creepy and unsettling as ever, but I also want a number for Dick Halloran's interior decorator.
Don't sleep on TOGETHER when it opens. An extremely funny and sticky slice of horror that takes a literal approach to a couple's codependency issues. Come for the unsettling practical effects, stay for the deftly delivered relationship drama, and be ready to recommend it to others.
It's #LetterboxdFriday time, and this is a largely unfortunate #LastFourWatched.
One season down of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and it certainly lives up to the name. Absolutely excellent series. I preferred Battle Tendency to Phantom Blood (mainly because of the better lead in Jonathan Joestar), but Dio was a stronger antagonist. Next series is a beloved one, so I'm hyped.
Finally done this, and selected the most Me choices that I could have.
As a fan of the series, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING disappointed me. There remain great stunts and mostly engaging characters, but it is messy and overstuffed, as the film becomes a clip show with great actors doing very little. There's a stronger, tighter film within this behemoth.
It's been a bit since I did one of these, but with it being #LetterboxdFriday, here is my odd mixture of a #LastFourWatched.
Do you ever have the feeling you're being watched while reverse-parking your car?
Tonight, I went to the cinema to watch the rerelease of 28 DAYS LATER. It felt odd to see the guerilla style footage on a massive screen, but it added to the intensity of this unsettling yet hopeful work. Plus, for the first time in a while, I got to scratch off a square on my poster.
As it was a hot day, I ventured to an air-conditioned cinema to watch WARFARE. The sound design is impeccable, while the direction from Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza is tense stuff. Script-wise, I was left rather cold by the development-free figures played by the indie twinks.
