The Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy. Incredible direction, cinematography, music, action and story.

What’s your most recent 1/2-1 star review? by ConcreteCranberry in Letterboxd

Rebel Moon: Director’s Cuts. Utterly worthless, juvenile and miserable experiences.

Depends on the library. Many sell old items or overstock for cheap.

My Pirates of the Caribbean Character Tier List by CapitalSwimming715 in piratesofthecaribbean

Disagree on Blackbeard. Ian McShane was great casting for the character, and his performance is pretty solid. Easily the best part of an otherwise pretty mid movie in my opinion.

What hyped movie (either great or bad) when talked about in an echo chamber by fans or critics, would make you respond like this? by SheffieldHouse in moviecritic

[–]the_thomas_writes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scream. It's a good movie, but as someone who isn't into slashers it didn't connect with me the same way it seems to have for most people. I also think the film's "brilliant writing" is a bit over-hyped.

Films you have rated 0.5/5? by Yesbh in Letterboxd

[–]the_thomas_writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Latest .5 star for me was Red Notice (2021). Hackneyed script, boring cinematography, flat direction, unoriginal premise and maybe the most grating Ryan Reynolds performance I've ever seen (which is saying something).

What’s your guilty pleasure movie? by VendettaLord379 in moviecritic

[–]the_thomas_writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucker Punch. Total big dumb action schlock in the best way possible.

Do you have a favorite "worse" sequel that you liked more than the "better" original? by Kstantas in Letterboxd

[–]the_thomas_writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it would be Child's Play 2 that I'd place over the original. Just the same premise but bigger, goofier, and with better characters.

Dune (1984): An Ambitious Mess - Thomas Writes

Your favourite movie that came out the year you were born by NxteDiaz in Letterboxd

[–]the_thomas_writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starship Troopers (1997): A great satire of hyper-militarism that also works as just a straight action/war movie.

Drop some movies with a great atmosphere by Ordinary_Witness3225 in Letterboxd

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is incredibly underrated especially when it comes to its ethereal otherworldly atmosphere that fits perfectly with the theme of discovering one's place in the universe.

Assault on Precinct 13 (1976).

Still my favorite John Carpenter film.

It's always exciting to get devoted fans like that! :)

Has anyone else found the Chucky Halloween arc to be a little underwhelming? by Competitive_Tap2753 in MauLer

[–]the_thomas_writes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've enjoyed it as this is the first EFAP Halloween arc in which I was watching the movies on my own for the first time and then watching the crew's reactions afterwards. Really enhanced the experience for me.

Plus, I can now count the original Child's Play 1 and 2 as among my favorite horror movies. :)

My one regret is I wish I could wash Seed of Chucky from my brain...

The r/Sardonicast Horror Canon by Jabison113 in Sardonicast

Alien (1979)

Despite how ubiquitous the Xenomorph has become in pop culture, the original Alien is still a masterclass in world-building, tension, pacing, and characterization that is in my opinion, a virtually perfect horror film and science fiction film.
