I think the most shocking thing is that this is a numbered sequel and not Sonic: Retaliation or something.

Nightmare Alley (2021)

Very good. I don't think I could write too much about it without spoilers, but I highly recommend this to everyone.

have followed this project little, but we were curious once raimi were announced as the director. our understanding is that raimi was most unhappy with sony during spider-man 3. am indulging in understatement.  is hard to imagine sam raimi would take on a dr. strange film w/o a few ironclad promises o' studio non-interference from marvel, but am similar finding it difficult to imagine marvel accepting such concessions. nevertheless, am having greater anticipation for this film than any recent mcu title. 

HA! Good Fun!

I have to admit, I am curious by the very Patrick Stewart sounding line there. Marvel and Sony continuing prep work to fold everything back together again?

Rewatched Silverado the other day. Still one of my favorite ... light Western/Adventure? ... films. Just a fun little movie. And so many great folks in it. Even John Cleese in a small role as a sheriff.

Werewolves Within is a videogame movie and it's very good. But it is the exception to the norm I think.

Megaopolis sounds great, I hope Francis manages to make it.

Clearly, the best video game movie is Bloodrayne: The Third Reich from esteemed auteur Uwe Boll:

After they screwed up Max Payne, I don't think they can make a good one.

I saw HOUSE OF THE DEAD and ALONE IN THE DARK in theaters...

EDIT: According to the trivia, Alone in the Dark was one of two films in 2005 to receive an "F" Cinemascore.  The other was WOLF CREEK which...I also saw in theaters.

I kind of feel like the video game movie curse has faded a bit. We've had a number of solid movies based around games in recent years. Sonic, Pikachu and Wreck-it Ralph (albeit a fictional game) were all charming. Plus The Witcher is an excellent adaptation.

The first Mortal Kombat movie was solid. Don't @ me.

Annihilation undid all of that.

Annihilation doesn't have the delightful Christopher Lambert, therefore it doesn't exist.

I liked how Uwe Boll made a joke about financing his movies with old german nazi gold in the Postal movie. Personally I think Postal is probably his best movie, because it's so dumb, you can't really do much wrong here.

Also saw his Auschwitz movie at one point and it made me really angry, because of the way it's made .. can't really put it in words. I get what he was trying to do with showing the bleak and "realness" or whatever, but it just didn't worked and ended up feeling like some sort of concentration camp gore porn. It didn't even work on an art-level. It was just bad in every way.
