    My goodness, we watched a horrible movie on Prime last night. The Silencing, starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau of GoT fame. He plays some sort of off the grid hermit whose daughter went missing five years earlier, and now there are additional young girls turning up dead in the same area.

    The movie was quite short, thankfully, but a complete mess. Somehow, Prime had it listed at four stars out of five, which means I cannot under any circumstances trust their rating system anymore.
    That was Netflix for me. When they switched from stars to %, it just turned to ****. I remember the first time I watched a 95% movie expecting Lawrence of Arabia and I got something closer to Human Centipede 4

      Rotten Tomatoes has Road House at a 39.

      Road House is either an 18 or a 98.

      • Road House was awful. I will never understand why some people like it.

        Then again, I loved Married With Children, so whatever.

                    • Criss Cross.

                      Excellent 1949 noir with a young (and very attractive) Burt Lancaster and a smoking Yvonne De Carlo as his femme fatale. A+. Brilliant writing and plot.

                      • Lars and the real girl is on hbo this month. I forgot how good of a movie this is, fairly early in gosling career.

                        of course how could a Minnesota boy named Lars lindstrom with a life size girl doll named Bianca as his girlfriend not be charming?

                          I liked that movie.

                          I watched One Night in Miami last night. It's a fictional account of a gathering of Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown and Sam Cooke. Regina King directed it. I thought it was really good. It's on Amazon Prime, in case anyone wants to check it out.

                            • Paper Moon. Revisited a classic last night, and it was the first watch for the rest of the family. It was a treat watching them enjoy it as much as I remembered.

                              • Annihilation

                                THe bear scene is up there with the most haunting and terrifying scenes I have ever watched. I even sort of knew it was coming, but wasn't prepared for how it played out. Pretty much everything after that was disturbing. Until the last five seconds. I wasn't a huge fan of the cliched, "Everything's fine.........OR IS IT?!?!?!?!? *CUT TO BLACK* I can't remember the last time I watched a movie and had it bother me as I was trying to fall asleep.

                                Beyond that, I'm not entirely sure if this was a great movie that's a deep meditation on humanity or just an above average sci-fi thriller. It really could be either. I think this, from the WIki, sums it up nicely:
                                The Economist described the film as "tightrope-walking the fine line between open-ended, mind-expanding mystery and lethargic, pretentious twaddle"
