@KALofKRYPTON yeah i know what you mean, i was just being a bit facetious
"I pity you. You just don't get it at all...there's not a thing I don't cherish!"
"Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
@KALofKRYPTON You can have ripoff, but that doesn't make it any less of a fantastic movie! I don't think it's dull at all, I even rewatched it earlier this year and time flew by. No amount of undeserved trashing of The Lion King will change my mind!
@jacobia Glad I'm not the only defender of The Lion King! I haven't seen the live stage show, but by the sounds of it, I absolutely should. Not sure if they even do it in the Netherlands, though.
@jacobia Welcome to the forums! Thanks for the recommendation, I too like a good horror movie. I feel horror movies these either rely on gore. It is rare that I'm actually spooked film in recent times, the most recent one was The Quiet Place which I thought was very effective at what it set out to do

@JohnnyShoulder Hi and thank you! I watched The Quiet Place at the cinema and loved it. I watched an Argentine movie on Shudder last night call Terrified. It’s been getting a lot of attention and hype. Now, I liked it and there’s definitely a good story in there somewhere, but as a whole experience, it felt somewhat lacking in cohesion for me. However, Terrified definitely has some genuinely creepy moments and a couple of great jump scares, bolstered by a great score. So if you do subscribe to Shudder, I’d certainly recommend it

@WanderingBullet Yeah, The John Wick movies are great, looking forward to the 3rd one too. I really like Keanu Reeves, and he apparently works his butt off for his roles. As far as some of the films I’ve seen him in, I don’t think he’s a particularly good actor, but I think he’s perfect in John Wick. And he absolutely nailed it in The Matrix trilogy as Neo.

Hey guys speaking of horror movies and seeing as Halloween is nearing, yesterday I saw the movie "Apostle". It just released yesterday on Netflix and usually I don't think much of Movies produced by Netflix but this one was actually pretty good. It's really creepy and it has some disturbing scenes in it. It was not as much scary as it was unsettling though. Can only recommend it if you are into the kind of horror movies that remind you of resident evil 4 or bloodborne namely a whole town going crazy.
@snakeeater Oh yes indeed! I’ve been anticipating the release of Apostle ever since I read about it on Bloody-Disgusting.com. A new horror movie from Gareth Evans, the writer/director of The Raid 1 and 2, and the Safe Haven segment from V/H/S 2? And starring Dan Stevens (Legion) and Michael Sheen? Hell yes please!!! Will be watching Apostle in the next few days, and I can’t wait 😊

@jacobia@snakeeater Ah yes my mate in work was talking about that yesterday. Really liked The Raid 1 and 2 and after Legion I'm pretty much intrested in everything Dan Stevens does from now on.
Cheers for the heads up!

@jacobia@JohnnyShoulder You guys have great taste in movies in my opinion . I've seen the Raid 1 and 2 and damn were they good. I didn't expect the guy directing those movies could also make a really decent horror movie but he pulled it off. If i might recommend you another great Dan Stevens movie.."The Guest" was awesome if you haven't seen it yet .
@snakeeater Yeah The Guest I thought was a cool, kooky movie and certainly not what I was expecting when I first heard of it. It gets a bit weird towards the end and I don't think it will be to everyone's tastes.
