Lost River (2015)
I went into it with zero knowledge or expectation and was held by it from beginning to end (even when I knew it was blatantly emulating David Lynch etc, I didn’t care, I was gripped). Only to look it up online afterwards and find out that critics and viewers kind of hate it.

It came from the desert (2017)
IMDb rating - 4.3
My rating - 8
I knew the computer game. Man that’s a loong time ago…
That is a computer game???
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Came_from_the_Desert Released in 1990. Yep I’m getting old I guess.
Damn. I didn’t know about this. Is it any good?
It was great at the time. Never could finish it though, it was so tough. Like most games of the day…
Maybe not really love love but quite enjoyed:
- Postal 4.5/10
The whole movie is bad and offensive, just like the games it is based on. And that makes it a nice fun adventure. It does really help if you’ve played the games though. I would give it a 6/10.
I think it falls flat at the end when the action begins. But most of its time it does a pretty good job at being self aware and is entertaining. I never played the Postal games though.
Yeah, the action part is the least interesting, especially…
spoiler
the shootout at the end.
But I really like the soundtrack of the last scene and the credits after that.
Same thought, it has 2,6/5 on Letterboxd, the distribution is crazy:
Thats pretty cool. Movies with such wide distribution are often at least interesting… Not per se good though.
I didn’t make it through the trailer.
Ha fair. Although trailers ruined movies for me so I have stopped watching them at all.
“12% positive reviews”
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Probably Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. Does it have a ton of cringe moments? Yeah. But it’s also fun as fuck.
10,000 BC.
It got thst award for worst movie of the year. I get that its in no way historical accurate. And even in it’s own world maybe it doesn’t make sense thst the tribes never have met. But dang its just a fun action movie.
some films i rated 4+ stars on letterboxd in order of their imdb rating:
Attack of the Adult Babies (4.2)
Antibirth (4.9)
The Feast (5.6)
The Greasy Strangler (5.7)
68 Kill (6.0)
Blood Punch (6.2)that was fun to find out. all great films tbh
Mom and Dad Save the World is at 5.4/10 - probably not actually the worst I love, but I correctly guessed it would be lower than it deserves (as absurd comedies tend to be) and it’s the first one that came to mind.
The light grenade gag is an all-time classic.
The 13th Warrior
Came here to say this.
It predates LOTR just by 2 years yet I couldn’t help myself thinking how much Peter Jackson drew inspiration from it. Very similar shots, very similar visuals, very similar soundtrack, but ABYSMAL storytelling really ruins everything.
Beat me to it. 6.6 IMDB, 33% RT. It stars Antonio Banderas as an Arab, but goddamnit I love this flick.
Anaconda has a 4.x on IMDb, that shits easily a 6-6.5. ratings are garbage.
Never Back Down. That movie is just such a vibe.
Exorcist II - The Heretic (1977).
I love the atmospheric, almost psychedelic vibe of this film. The scenery and settings are stunning, Blair is blooming and the story is very interesting. It’s certainly not perfect, but there is a lot to enjoy in there.
There have been a few versions released, so each might influence perception differently. I hope to see them all, eventually.Exorcist two is bonkers. (In a good way.)
Steel - IMDB of 3.0 stars.
