  Come True 2020

  ★★★ Watched 24 Jul 2024

  Just a parallel demon-dimension's friendly Find My iPhone service 📱👻

  I have long been fascinated with the mysteries of sleep paralysis and the eerily common shadow-like entities people across cultures and time have reported from their experiences, but the movie doesn't really do much with all of that interesting lore, beyond just having a cool, sometimes eerie vibe — and an unfortunately dumb, cop-out ending that invalidates almost everything that came before it.

  Avatar 2009

  ★★★½ Added

  It had been probably four or five years since I last watched Avatar, and as the grandaddy of this whole recent 3D craze (which, finally, seems like it is ending) but it seemed like a perfect choice for my friend’s 3D TV. Avatar gets hated on a lot for not being original at all, since it’s basically Pocahontas in live action. Pretty similar to Dances with Wolves as well. But that being said, it is a stunningly gorgeous film, especially…
