Another 10 movies, another Last 10 Top 10. If you wondered how I rate Nightmare on Elm Street 2 against 3, you'll know today.
Martyrs maybe objectively is not the best movie of this list. But to me, it just managed to scare me and make me scarred for life while also making me think and wonder, which is what I look for in a horror movie. So it's got to be my number 1.
Raising Arizona, the first Coen-Brothers movie still features all their trademarks: people doing wrong things, getting into trouble, all set in some desert-like area, cast including John Goodman. It was a funny movie, with good acting and it was just all in all an enjoyable time.
Wall Street is just a well done movie about the Stock Market. Not much to say about it to be honest.
Maniac is another of those horror movies that was disturbing, well acted and made you think a little. I enjoyed it, the gore was epic, and also I love Elijah Wood.
The snails just managed to scare me and make me scarred for life while also making me think and wonder, which is what I look for in a horror movie. So it's got to be my number... wait wrong review. The snails was just crazy, it was a random mubi watch, I knew nothing about it and it just caught me by surprise. And it is fucked up.
Another fucked up cartoon I watched is El Superbeasto, an animated movie by Rob Zombie. As you can see in my review, this movie just hit all the right spots for me, I really enjoyed it, but of course I know it is not high art.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors... What can I say? I love me some Freddy K. And after quite the departure from the original in the second movie (I'll come to it in a second), this got us back to the roots, furthering the Freddy lore, bringing back Nancy and her dad, and giving Freddy some more one liners. All in all a fun installment.
Ahh, Freddy's Revenge. Hated by many. This isn't a bad movie per se. It just made the mistake of putting Freddy into the mix. If you take out Freddy and just put in a random Demon, you got yourself Insidious, just about 25 years prior.
What can I say about curses? The song was good. Sadly, I was not in the mood for that artsy kind of movie, so I couldn't really appreciate it, I'd have to rewatch it with the right mindset to like it more.
And lastly we got Fuck for Forest, a documentary about a very different kind of organisation. At first I was intrigued by the idea, but that idea mixed with kind of not really likable people, the most monotone narration ever put to film and seemingly a message that takes a jump from "great organisation that is really something different" to "basically just ambitious hippie kids that don't know the real world" around halfway through, this documentary wasn't really good or fun. I didn't really like it, that's why it's number 10.
So this was a fun list, let's see how the next ten go, starting off with a letterboxd movie night. Great start... See you soon.
