Watched SINNERS on HBO Max last night. Crazy that it received so many Oscar nominations, basically ripped off Dusk Till Dawn imho.

I feel like there was more of a surprise wit from dusk till dawn. I remember the original ads never showed anything spooky or monstrous. It just kinda looked like it would be an average Tarantino Rodriguez style heist gone wrong movie. 
I remember after work one day since a theater was less than a block away we all just walked over got our tickets and got all caught off guard when it turned into a vampire movie. 
Sinners kinda showed the surprise in the trailers and it became more of a dark titanic where you’re just waiting for the ship to sink. Although definitely better than titanic ever was.

I definitely feel that Sinners was a good movie, but definitely not worth all the nominations. As far as big creepy films of the year, Weapons was far more entertaining although maybe not all that Oscar worthy either. Just a better overall movie than sinners. Critics and academy voters always have too big of a soft spot for musicals

This looks kinda crappy but kinda fun at the same time. Might check out a free watch with some cheap microwave popcorn.

i just wish these horror things with dolls would quit making them look so horrifying from the start. Nobody would ever touch these things if they already look creepy from the start, like in those Annabel movies. The supposed real Annabel looked more like a friendly raggedy Ann ripoff than the creepy thing from the movies.

This looks stupid, but I can’t remember the last time I saw Vince Vaughn in a movie, so maybe I’ll take a look. I hate time travel and the multiverse, but those annoying concepts are a little easier to take in a comedy than a serious movie or show

It's getting comically destroyed in the Youtube comments 🤣😂

That being said, I'll reserve judgement till reviews are out.

Project Hail Mary was good. I'm a big fan of the book and was happy to see it come out so well. They made Rocky cute but that was fine.

If I felt like spending money to see a movie then Project Hail Mary would be at the top of my list. That being said, I'm very much looking forward to see it on streaming which looks to be PRIME.

Finally saw Project Hail Mary, very nice movie I liked it. It has ET and Close Encounters of the Third Kind vibe.   Next is Project Hail Mario.

Project Hail Mary was really good. I'm not usually into watching movies with the scenes 'time-skipping,'' but it fit here as it...

Spoiler

...worked into him regaining his memories a bit at a time.

I liked the interactions with Rocky and just love that he was a practical effect. That's so cool.

Kinda funny that they’re finally trying to do a 90’s nostalgia movie and they were too embarrassed by the 90’s music and had to put an 80’s song throughout the trailer.
