I just saw Uncut Gems and it was one of the more tense movies I've ever watched. It was good but I would really have preferred a silly caper flick. Very good film but very tense.

Saw it yesterday. I really liked it - I didn't think i liked it until the end, though. I also could have sworn Eric Begosian was dead. Glad he's not.

Keith Williams RIchard, the evil goon, has a great back story:

Wow, what a great interview! He was so good in that role. I hope he gets an oscar nom.

I think I gotta put The VVitch at the top of my list even though it's not technically a horror film by my standards. But I thought it was excellent.

VVitch was wonderful, I had to make some hard decisions to leave out,Hereditarty, Get Out, Us, etc. By the way, super-psyched for the Lighthouse, from the same director as VVitch. I meant to see it in theater, but it didn't work out.

It also came to my attention after the fact that Attack the Block was from 2011, that deserves my top 10. (which if anyone noticed, I Spinal Tapped it)

I've seen and loved all of your honorable mentions, but haven't seen a single one that made your actual top 10. At least that gives me a nice list to work through.

I saw the Lighthouse, it was excellent. Still curious about the director's adaptation of Nosferatu, which was in preprod even before the Lighthouse was.

Big Trouble in Little China (1986) John Carpenter’s Action-Fantasy about Chinese black magic and an old sorcerer regaining in which rare “green-eyed women” are the key. Truck driver Kurt Russell and friends are on hand to foil the PG 13 plot. With Kim Catrrall.

Nekrotronic (2018) Demons can posses you through your phone now. The son of a demon hunter accidentally finds he has some nifty demon-killing powers, and teams up with a group of hunters to try and stop an apocalypse. Wild and crazy Aussie action from the director of Wyrmwood. Monica Bellucci is as gorgeous as ever as the main baddie.

Knife + Heart (2018) A gay porn star is murdered and during the ensuing police investigation, the porn producers choose to make a distasteful porn-parody based on the murder. Needless to say, the murders continue. Lots of blood and nudity (male and female) in this modern giallo from France. Vanessa Paradis played the producer, I wasn’t familiar with her, but apparently she’s been a model and pop star in France since the 80s, and has a buncha babies with Johnny Depp.

The Vineyard (1989) James Hong of Big Trouble in Little China fame directs and stars as a centuries old wine grower who has found the secret to eternal life. It has something to do with burying bodies in the ground with the grapes and black magic too. The buried bodies were sort of zombies sometimes? This story was a mess. Anyway, he lures some young men and women to his island on the false pretense that he was producing a movie, and kills most of them. Some nudity, it was OK, I guess.

The Shape of Water (2017) A mute cleaning lady feeds eggs to the Creature From the Black Lagoon, while Michael Shannon tries to kill him in early 1960s Baltimore. Great sets and visuals in this fish-fuckin’ romantic fantasy from Guillermo del Toro. Plus nudity. 2nd watch for me, it won many Oscars since I wrote that review.

Dracula (2020) It took me 2 days to watch the 4.5 hour BBC mini-series. Was it good? I don’t know. It was cheesy and strayed off the source material, but I have to say I was entertained.

Ma (2019) Octavia Spencer is an emotionally unstable woman who lets teenagers party at her house to compensate for her own lack of popularity when she was young. Dull characters, predictable and boring all the way through. I’d say it’s one of the worst of the year.

I made it through a half hour of Luz (2019) I didn’t know what the fuck was going on, except that I couldn’t take any more.

Uncle Buck is on a movie channel. A movie I always feel obliged to watch when I see that it's on. John Candy was a gem.
