It was on my watchlist for a bit and I finally got to it today. The themes were heavier, especially with Simon's (Jack Quaid) mental health. I couldn't say how accurate his portrayal of paranoid schizophrenia is, but it was more than enough for me to really feel for him.

It's one of the first times I've watched Jeffrey Dean Morgan in something since I stopped watching The Walking Dead (because of his character, actually). In this movie, Deerman is quite a mess of a human, but he makes up for it.

Overall, I enjoyed the film. I really appreciate how they ended it. I wish there was an epilogue so I could know what happens to Simon.

What did you all think?

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey has taken the unusual step of selling some tickets a year early. Is it a way forward for beleaguered studios – or just a stunt?

I was travelling for the last two weeks, so I missed the Superman release.

We are now two weeks later, and all the IMAX theaters around me have switched all of their showings to Fantastic Four. I was expecting a split between Superman and F4, did WB somehow messed up contractually?

I hadn't watched in a while, it was the first time for my gf.

It was quite nice, the Mexican Dia de Muertos aesthetic is beautiful and refreshing, the music plays an integral part to the story, and the characters are compelling. Definitely recommend.

Here's the trailer from last year to refresh your memory.

A fascinatingly uneasy debut from Ryan J Sloan has hints of Lynch and Cronenberg with star and co-writer Ariella Mastroianni radiating suppressed anguish and rage
