    I caught opening night of Iron Lung last night. Gaming streamers aren’t really my thing so I went in very blind, drawn by the cosmic horror and John Carpenter vibes. I read more about it after seeing it, the budget, the low-almost-no-advertising, the self-funded theatrical release. I was quite impressed.

    Melania also opens this weekend. I won’t see that one, it’s too scary for my tastes.

      Saw it too, not sure if i loved or hared it. Read a review after that capture it well. “Cool and wildly original, but confusing for all the wrong reasons”

    I watched Flight Risk, aside from Walberg’s distractingly bad hair piece it was a fantastic movie. Would recommend.

    also watched Beast of War, felt mixed on that one. They did a good job making you like the characters but I felt it over the top, like most shark movies.

    And I watched the remake of River Wild, which does not deserve to sully the name of River Wild. They did not make the characters likeable, nobody performed like Meryl Streep. I would not recommend it.

    I just finished Ponies. It was less violence-heavy, and had more detailed sex scenes for A US production (awkward since we invited my conservative SIL/her husband). Although, sometimes it was just a show about friendship and the plot twists were fairly obvious, it had a unique premise and was generally endearing.
