Excellent satire but it flew over many ppl's heads and that's why it didn't do well at the box office.

A lot of movies don't do well at the box office… then become cult movies.

Sigourney NEVER looked better

I rewatched The Strangers last night for probably the 5th time.

There's just something creepy about that movie...the middle of nowhere home invasions always get me

A push-up bra and blonde hair can do a lot for the right woman.

Haha, kidding of course. Siguourney Weaver has always been great looking.

She was an awesome hero as Ripley in the Alien movies. Loved her in those.

They mostly come out at night… mostly.

Classic.

Hello everyone, I also watched netflix recently, got a great impression because netflix is a very cool and free movie maker. I have downloaded apk mods from techloky website in which I have watched completely free movies from netflix. Everyone can visit to try it out because it won't disappoint.

Violent Night.

I had more than a few laughs. Home Alone meets Tarrantino and a lot more blood

Cheers

With todays movies where 30lb women throw around men 5 times their size, which is laughable, this movie isn't that, aliens was perfect. Weaver was perfect for the role. She was a tough, smart character….What an awesome movie.

The guy from twister was also right on the money, imo. Sorry I can't recall his name, tip of my tongue.

I'll watch it every time it comes on.

Looking forward to this one, Robin.

Speaking of...

Directed by and starring Bill Paxton. A favorite of mine.

I watched Barbarian last night. I had heard that it was best to not watch the trailer so I didn't. I was really enjoying the movie until the second act. The first act was fantastic, it built tension excellently and had me in suspense. The second act stumbled for me, the shift in tone with Justin Long's character felt a bit off, but suspense was still decent. By the third act though, I had decided that the movie was going in a direction I was not interested in. I would have loved to see more of the history of the house and the monsters rather than the one scene, which to be honest, was not enough to explain the old man.

**SPOILERS**

I also was confused for certain character choices. If the old man had the gun the entire time, why did he only shoot himself once Justin Long appeared?

How the hell and why were all those tunnels built?

The lead female pissed me off. I get that we all are compassionate, but she cared far too much.

I don't know, the movie had great potential, but after the first act I wasn't feeling it.

Ya, I feel you, but I guess I was more forgiving, there were definitely some (many?) rough edges that should've/could've been addressed to make it an even better movie, but I think generally it was done well. I thought Justin Long was great haha. Talk about poster-boy for what not to do/how to act. The female lead was great too, not falling into the usual dumb-moves-by-characters-in-horror-movies...most of the time haha.

I'm too lazy to google but it starred Powers Boothe for the supernatural one, I think. Identity or the movie you already stated? LOL.

I didn't mind Justin Long as an actor, he played the very stupid character well, I just thought it was a weird transition in tone going from the two characters in act one to someone as stupid and comedically written as he was.
