Essential Coli-members what's the last thing you watched?

Good flick that seems to be going under the radar. I was most impressed with Stan’s performance when he was in prosthetics during the opening act. Shocked me to find out that wasn’t a different actor.

between this, playing Trump and Tommy lee. This guy has some range

Forgot how scary growing up can be. Lovely film.

Just finished S2 of the Recruit.

They ruined it.

I finished it last week and thought it was cool but how'd they ruin it

The story was terrible and rushed. Too many loose ends, too many plot armour holes, etc.

Plus it was cut down by the expected 2 episodes. Overall just rushed, cookie-cutter crap.

Best comedy film I've seen in a minute

I loved the first season and was highly anticipating the 2nd. I could barely get through the first episode of season 2. It was garbage. I totally lost interest and did not even check it out after that episode

That was one bad redbone

 

[FlyRy]

one of my last few 2024 catchups. wow. the last 45 min or so was pure cinema

it might be a bit slow at first for some and a bit long, but goddamn was it worth it for me. and the backstory behind the making of the film is crazy too

Watched on Peacock. I've enjoyed every Robert Egger's movie I've seen and this was no different. Enjoyed the aspect of vampires being a plague that there is little recourse against. Also a reminder that vampire magic is indeed terrifying.

You didn’t miss much at all.

Over stylised, too much music, BTS jokes (as it was staged in Korea) and an absolutely non-sensical plot.

I was reading the Sub-Reddit and it got panned there too. They also said The Night Agent was just as bad, which is really disappointing as I thought those were two of the stand out NF series for the next generation.

Flight Risk is absolutely mid. Was this supposed to be a dark comedy? The “comedy” was . Dialogue was cringe and the characters were wack. Grace was annoying. Lady agent was useless. Mark was decent, that’s the only thing positive I can say.

2025’s first “who greenlit this shyt? ”

no nudity, dont even bother

this was a movie that clearly had bigger ambitions but once the cut was made, the producers looked at knew they effed up and gave it to Sky for a Friday night throwaway.

first off, there's too many ppl in the dark room with Katie, i hate it when the protagonists are two different location and this was done so that Katee doesn't talk to herself.

don't get me started on the worst flight crew since Soul plane, this supposed to be a luxury airline. ya got Jennifer Aniston and Penelope Cruz in your commercials. then the pilots make a joke about Sully, if my copilot make a joke about Sully, I'm giving him the side eye the rest of the flight

it's not long before you realize there is second female lead, I don't have a problem with the movie being different or cheap, but I still expect all the leads to carry the weight of the movie. this isn't a stage play where you just cast the cute girl, the one that be snitching on everybody, and call it a day, movies are supposed to be big, whether it's in the theatre or on digital. I didn't get leading actress, I got place holder with some stuff added in for her personality to pad out the run time.

@MenacingMonk @storyteller @Duke Dixon @abominable1 as far as the kills go, they alright, this isn't a horror movie but there is a lot of carnage for this plane to still be in the air, but they give a reason for that. Speaking of twists, they got a couple, i just rolled my eyes at them and kept it moving.

i guess I can't complain about it for a Friday night throwaway but i wont be revisiting it anything soon, 6/10
