Just watched Grizzly Man, which was mentioned in the podcast with Leo. It's an interesting documentary with a spiritual quality. It seems it was his fate to become one with the bear, reminiscent of Ahab and the whale.

I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see more of this in the future.

I enjoyed this movie even more than the previous one. It has the same director as Upgrade.

Upgrade is a great film from the co-writer of the original Saw. I really enjoyed its surprising conclusion!

I finally watched Run Lola Run, and it’s surprisingly good for a German film. Tom Tykwer really knows how to make a movie, and I also love his adaptation of Perfume. Fun fact: the actress who plays Lola was born in Münster, which isn’t far from where I live—I even went to school there.

I have to bring up Session 9 again, because it’s only now starting to really creep me out. When I first saw it, I thought it was a decent movie and didn’t give it much thought. But as time went on, it started to get under my skin. It’s like my subconscious needed days to fully process the horror. That last line—now it’s giving me shivers in a way it didn’t before. Another movie that affected me in a similar way is Aftersun. While watching it, I felt bored, but later it suddenly hit me, and I found myself crying.

Event Horizon is a solid cosmic horror film. Unfortunately, it's another case where an unreleased Director's Cut detracts from the movie. It's still worth seeing. Another great movie featuring Sam Neill losing his mind is In the Mouth of Madness.

I watched both the original and the remake of "The Last House on the Left," and I have to say that I prefer the remake. I saw the remake first and then watched the original. While the original is interesting, it doesn't feel as upsetting as the remake; it comes off as a bit absurd in comparison.

I finally got around to watching "As Above, So Below," and I must say, it's a fantastic film. It's a shame that so many found-footage movies fall short, but this one is exceptionally well-crafted. I especially enjoyed its loose inspiration from Dante's Inferno. You could say it's like "National Treasure" or "Lara Croft" but set in hell. If you see the movie, definitely check out the trivia section on IMDb afterward; it's quite insightful.

The Entity is a solid horror film that seems to have flown under the radar for many. It's inspired by the real-life case of Doris Bither, who claimed to have been sexually assaulted by an invisible force. I recently watched two more underrated horror movies: The Ruins (2008) Frozen (2010)

Disturbing Behavior is an oddly overlooked film. Perhaps the unreleased Director's Cut would have been met with a warmer reception. Here are a few more movies I’ve been watching lately: Urban Legend (1998) Breakdown (1997) The Ninth Gate (1999) — Quite slow, yet oddly captivating. Stir of Echoes (1999) Session 9 (2001)

I can't believe I'd never heard of Frailty before. It's a well-acted, intriguing movie with a twist that might or might not work for you, but I found it to be great. It's a tightly executed film that's definitely worth checking out.

Hamnet is finally available for streaming! I've been really looking forward to this movie, and it did not disappoint. It's been a long time since a movie made me cry. You don't need to read/see Hamlet before watching Hamnet, but familiarity with the Bard's work will make you appreciate this movie a million times more.

Inscryption is such a fun game. I made a 7/7 card that hits three times and named it God. But the game’s tough, and I keep dying. I need to rethink my strategy—probably best to keep a thin deck so I can actually play God more often.

Falling Down (1993) This movie is crazier than expected. I enjoyed it.

Season two is about to drop. I was pleasantly surprised with season one.

Good episode.

The best scene in the movie, hands down. DiCaprio's performance is incredible.

I can’t believe I overlooked this movie. It’s incredibly entertaining, hilarious, and kept me engaged the whole time. And the cast is just fantastic!

It's the best book I've ever read. However, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's superior to Actualized.org. What I particularly appreciate about Moby-Dick is its exploration of determinism and fate.

Great movie. Tense and funny.

Thank God it was just a dream.

I never watch movie trailers; I rely on the premise, genre, reviews, and my gut feeling. I actually enjoy lists, like the IMDb Top 250, WGA, and others. Plus, ChatGPT knows my taste and recommends movies for me.

The ending of this movie is totally wild!
