[Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

Transformers One

A really great movie and can I dare saying it, even better than the 86 movie? (Heresy!). We all saw the first trailer and thought they will blew it with stupid jokes catering to a much younger demographic like a Minions movie. But it is anything but. It's a movie enjoyable by kids and adults alike. You don't need to know anything about the 40 years of the franchise to enjoy and understand the movie and the characters. In itself the story is a very human story about friendship, breakups and growing apart. The jokes never feel out of place and there are no referencial jokes in it that will date the movie exept for self referencial bits here and there as a nod to the fans. The visuals are amazing and need to be seen on the big screen.

So, SMILE 2 was the best comedy I've seen this year.

*touches earpiece* What's that? It's supposed to be taken seriously?

With laughably cartoonish effects like that, how COULD you take it seriously?

Evil Hugh Grant is great.
Yeah. Paddington 2 was fun.
No. EVIL Hugh Grant.
Oh. Yeah. Dungeons and Dragons was also a good time.
I mean... EVIL EVIL Hugh Grant...

I absolutely would not have seen this movie if it wasn't for Hugh Grant. While it may have looked interesting enough without him, I tend to avoid most horror movies nowadays because god knows I'm already stressed out enough with life in general.
But Hugh Grant playing a charismatic villain who torments a pair of Mormon missionaries was too good of a casting choice to pass up, and I have absolutely no regrets. Hugh Grant is equal parts charming, intellectual and terrifying, and at no point did he let me down. Some of this film's best scenes are just Hugh Grant discussing Theology and trashing religion in general. Dozens of pages worth of dialogue, and Grant nailed every word. I will say, what surprised me the most, was that despite my personal dislike of religion, that the protagonists actually offer some very strong counterpoints. But of course this film is not just and hour and a half of debating, as Hugh Grant puts the girls into a very terrifying situation where he puts their beliefs to a test.
The first half you get the tension filled debate, and the second half you get the horror. I walked away happy with both. Mostly with the debate, but the horror part was still quite excellent.

Finally broke down and saw Abigail, simply because I had a YouTube clip from the movie. I quite liked it, although again I wish all the promotions hadn't ruined what could have been a great surprise. I thought the characters were dumb as shit but they did it in a comedic way so it worked.
