  Game Night 2018

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Sep 2022

  Wonderfully written, incredibly tight, and a great blend of comedy and action (a genre combo I shortsightedly decided couldn't be done well after seeing too many quip-fest superhero movies).

  Our main cast are a bunch of normal upper-middle-class, advertiser-friendly type people, and yet are thrust into the lens of an action movie.

  Event Horizon 1997

  ★★ Watched 16 Oct 2021

  MILLER!
  genuinely the most random movie ive ever seen.

  The film has mediocre acting and even worse pacing. The only saving grace is the occasional body horror, which was used effectively no more than 3 or 4 times throughout the entire movie, for a few seconds each at most.

  Don’t even get me started on what happens to Dr. Weir(?)

  Event Horizon more like Event Borizon!!!
