Inherently action movies are only like my 5th favorite genre, but I'm still trying to see as many of them as I can. There's only so much time in a day unfortunately
I was somewhat lukewarm on The Raid as well, but the sequel is incredible.

I actually walked out of that movie after an hour. I went to a REALLY late showing and the first hour wasn't very action packed and I just couldn't stay awake. I have to go back and watch it.

It's such a great movie. It's more of a sprawling crime epic than the first one—in some ways I'd say it's almost a different genre of movie—but it also has probably the craziest fight/car chase scene I've ever seen in my life. To me it was the perfect mix of an organized crime drama like Election with off the rails action.

Will definitely see Raid 2

Evil Dead Rise about to start, I hope this movie melts my face off

It melted my face off and I loved every damn second of it. Just pure madhouse fun and so well paced. I think I liked it even more than Evil Dead 2013

I saw Bodies Bodies Bodies the other night and thought it was fun. Good satire thrown in with a semi-interesting murder mystery plot and one hell of a comedic performance by Rachel Sennott. It was like a poor mans Jordan Peele movie.

It didn’t really remind me of Jordan Peele’s work in any way but I did like it a lot. Rachel Sennott is absolutely the highlight, she alone makes the movie worth seeing

Beau is Afraid was incredible. Touches on so many ideas in such an adventurous way. There are points at the end where it tries to make up for other (excellent) parts where it gets a little over its head but that's really the only downside I saw to it. There were interesting videogamey aspects similar to parts I really liked in Barbarian, and the narrative is a ****ing rollercoaster ride of wild decisions and approaches. I'll need another watch to see if it's Ari Aster's best, but it's certainly his most ambitious in a way that really pays off. Also one of the best and most disorienting opening scenes I've ever seen, especially good in theaters.

I also loved it. I did not expect it to be as funny as it was, no idea Aster could execute this kind of tone. I also have my own mommy daddy issues obviously so I connected with that lmao

Joaquin Phoenix was insanely great. The plot flowed really well and was pretty much constantly interesting. Pretty much a slam dunk for me, I definitely liked this more than Midsommar but I’m not sure how it measures up against Hereditary
