The film starts with a death of a child and gets more depressing from there

The Departed is my favorite mafia movie. I frequently complain about movies being too long. In this case, I dig it. I hadn't seen it in a long time and was fuzzy on the specifics, so it was almost like watching it again for the first time.

To start off my #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days challenge, I chose <I>Keep Watching</i> as my first film. Did I make the right decision? No, according to most of the reviews on Letterboxd, but there were a parts that I enjoyed.
For starters, the cast sucks. Bella Thorne and Chandler Riggs put on a lackluster performance, gloating around until the action kicks in, and then just strut around inside their home while masked killers prey upon and record them. The premise is great (at first, I thought it was going the <I>Mockingbird</i>> route), but then turned into an <I>Unfriended: Dark Web</i>/<I>The Deep Web: Murdershow</i> mix (I enjoyed both of those films). It doesn't really work, and the ending was unsatisfying.
I know my short review above may have you question the three stars I gave it, but they're for the premise and creativity. I love a good home invasion flick, but when technology is mixed in, it adds more excitement.
<B>Setup</b>: <A HREF="http://letterboxd.com/lgoled">LG OLED TV with Perfect Black</A>. It's a dark film (theme and picture-wise), so this made the best movie-watching experience.
My second favorite movie about a cursed hand. (#1 is obviously Idle Hands.)
Princess Mononoke is probably the *best* Miyazaki so far, but it's not my *favorite*. I was surprised by a lot of elements. The main character is a BOY?! There are PROSTITUTES?! There's almost nothing precious or whimsical?! I didn't see this coming.
I would always catch bits and pieces of Wet Hot American Summer when it used to be on cable all the time. I didn't watch it fully until last summer, and it is very upsetting that I missed out on two decades of rewatching this.

I used to think Pitch Perfect was the next decade's Mean Girls. Now I just don't think it has that kind of staying power, and I blame the sequels, mostly Pitch Perfect 3. I still love the first though.

The House Bunny is genuinely funny, and anyone who hates it probably hasn't even seen it OR went in deciding they hated it and didn't give it a real chance.
I hadn't watched this in so long, and I wasn't sure if it would hold up, but it does. It holds up perfectly.
I'm just not as high on this as the average Letterboxd user. Reese is great though, and I'd vote for Paul.
Amazing how little “Mogera” has to do with this film, and yet it has cemented itself into the Kaiju-verse.
The film is a bit of a mishmash of stories, but it’s well cast and acted, and you definitely can’t knock it for the effects! What they accomplished here won’t really be surpassed for another 10 years.
The Untouchables isn't the kind of movie I would typically be into, but Sean Connery was a real gamechanger.
How can a movie simultaneously have something and absolutely nothing happen?
The only thing more generic and boring than the dialog were the action scenes.
Did Carpenter use all the rehearsal footage? Because it didn’t feel like any of the actors were giving even 50%.(Soundtrack is alright.)
