#JustWatched Wicked: For Good
I have a bit to say about it but I need time to develop my thoughts on it.
Just know that I enjoyed it a lot and yes I did cry.

#NowWatching the Sandlot
One of my top ten movies of all time. Loved this one as a kiddo and still love it now. Just a lovely easy light hearted watch tonight.

#JustWatched Eddington
Not as much of a drag as Beau is Afraid (which I haven't finished)
I mean this in a nice way but it watches like a book. The flip into the second half is interesting. I felt a little lost in the B plot.
I definitely like Aster's horror films better but this is good 7.8/10

#NowWatching Prometheus
Seen it a few times before, just wanna have a quiet night with some sci-fi. Probably spurred by watching Aliens the other day

#NowWatching Boyhood
I've seen this before I just wanted something on in the background while work on some art.
For its ingenuity its a pretty mid slice of life movie. I wish the plot was a little more driving.

Just to get an idea of where I'm at now.
Next couple months it's winter so probably less movies per week. Last year I think it was 120 something so might beat that this year. Not a flex lol

Halloween Movie Month in the bag
Even though I completely skipped day 20. Just don't even look at that one.
I got in a lot of movies I haven't seen before and I'm proud of that. It's also been a trying month personally.

#NowWatching Halloween 5 The Revenge of Michael Myers
Day 31 of Halloween Movie month!! We made it.
Why 5? Honestly because I forgot that I didn't see 4 yet when I made the list. But I'm not fixing it. 80s horror franchises rarely have a solid cohesion between sequels.
Let's see how it is 😬

#JustWatched Jennifer's Body
What a capsule of that time period. Maybe I'm just a cringe millennial. Really fun watch esp with friends on movie night.
Also I forgot Kyle Gallner was in this! So cool to see how the cast has grown since this movie.

So I didn't realize the Frankenstein movie this year was om limited theater run so I had to go to my second choice. Ooops.
All I know is that this is from the same person who did Jennifer's Body which we'll be watching tomorrow.

I routinely forget I subscribe to Shudder and it has this cut.
Clive Barker's other pet project Cabal.
I've never seen just lightly aware of its existence. Haven't read Cabal either.

A rewatch for me. This one is a tender movie for me because I've had several family members with dementia.
Overall a good horror thriller flick!

I remember good reviews but not much else. Loved Hunter in Euphoria so can't wait to see her in other things.
