Saw the new Scream movie.

Was exactly what I thought it would be… probably never watching it again, BUT it was entertaining enough that I’m glad I hit play.

Can’t find it with a quick search. Was it on a particular streaming service?

We watched to original Scream last night. Fantastic film. I can't tell if part of the allure is how the movie uncorks the vibe of the 90s. But, it's a fun ride. Way better than the latest installment.


Also, I finally - FINALLY - watched Snakes on a Plane. Not the 4K version. Kscape currently only has HD.

I remember the movie hitting theaters and getting panned. Infact, here's the review I read:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/2006/08/22/snakes-is-defanged-at-box-office-span-classbankheadpre-release-hype-doesnt-yield-a-hitspan/41508cc0-c8ae-4a37-bb39-1fc218d0fb09/

Easy to see why I skipped it.

But, @Michael Scott is right in his review (https://www.avnirvana.com/threads/snakes-on-a-plane-4k-blu-ray-review.16331/), it's just plain fun.

I loved it.

Predator: Badlands
Entertaining. Out of all the Alien and Predator films I would say;
Aliens
Alien
Predator
Predator:Badlands
Solid popcorn movie and certainly takes the Yautja down an… unexpected path.

Watched Riddick (2013) on Monday - semi-decent flick. Weakest of the three, Pitch Black, Chronicles of Riddick, and then this one… but still entertaining.

Tonight, finishing Predator: Badlands, which i started late last night. Half hour left, but thoroughly enjoying this one.

Then watching Wolf Man (2025).

I watched this last night on BluRay, not the 4K version of it because I watched in the basement and only have bluray player on that system.

Watched Brotherhood of the Wolf on UHD yesterday. Hadn’t seen it since it first released on DVD. Still really dig the movie and it’s an aggressive Atmos mix.

 

[NBPK402]

Watching a old favorite tonight.

Late to the Predator Badlands party. What good fun!

What a wild ride! Thoroughly enjoyed it, too! Different take/direction for a Predator movie, but still a lot of fun!

Watched Hamnet on UHD tonight with the wife.

Absolutely loved that movie. Not a movie I can watch often, but it’s a movie I plan to revisit consistently.

 

[3dbinCanada]

My g/f and I watched these movies over the last couple of days.

 

[JBrax]

Watched Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die and it was great. Highly recommended!

Been on an action-flick kick. Watched “War Machine” on Netflix… really didn’t enjoy that, but the audio mix was fun.

Then also watched two Jason Statham movies: “ Beekeeper” and “A Working Man”

Can’t say that they are amazing movies, but enjoyed them enough at face value, “Beekeeper” a little bit more than “A Working Man.”

 

[Todd Anderson]

Beekeeper was a bit of a miss for me. Haven't seen A Working Man yet.

Based on your comments, I'll probably skip War Machine.

I finally watched the 2023 horror Thanksgiving. I'm going with 3 out of 5 stars. If it hadn't had a mea culpa at the end, it probably would have been a bit stronger.

Some gruesome scenes in it! Like the oven scene! Yikes!

A Working Man is just more Jason Statham doing what Jason Statham does. I’d say it’s on the same level of Beekeeper. “Man on a mission” and lots of action. It may land better for you, but it also could be just about the same as Beekeeper, too.

War Machine is like Transformers and Predator combined, however I think it just doesn’t work. Maybe it’s Alan Richtson as the lead… although I REALLY like him as Jack Reacher in the Reacher series.

I’ve been curious about Thanksgiving, myself. Horror movies have been a bit of a miss more often than not though, so I’ve been hesitant to watch a lot. That’s probably mostly me, though, as I feel like I’ve become a lot tougher critic of the Horror genre in the last 5+ years.
