    I really enjoyed Doctor Sleep. For all of its many flaws it was still really enjoyable for the wife and I. We both like the shining too of course.

    Just binged "The Tick" on amazon. 2 seasons, 30min episodes and a lot of fun. The guy who plays Arthur can be a bit annoying at times but I think that's just how they wrote him. And Peter Serafinowicz just fucking crushes it as The Tick.

    Kinda said it wasn't renewed for a 3rd season

    Cold Skin was surprisingly good. It's like a thriller version of The Shape of Water.

    Blue Valentine was pretty good, Ryan Gosling is slowly but surely becoming one of my favorite actors of the generation.

    Watched three movies which I'm shocked I've never seen before.

    Coherence
    Tape
    Timecrimes

    All 3 I'm very pleased with.

    If you like single room movies or shit like Primer and triangle, youll really like these. I would explain them but that would kind of ruin the joy of experiencing the movie cause they’re about figuring it out and the experience. Like, the best I can do is,

    Coherence is a dinner party and some shit starts to happen.
    Tape is Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and the dude who played Wilson in House(I always forget his name) in a single motel room, talking.
    Timecrimes, an average man does something stupid and tries to fix it the way a dumb average person does. It’s really great.

    The Lodge

    It’s streaming on Hulu now. Good horror. Very reminiscent of Hereditary in good ways. It’s unsettling from the jump and it’s not one of those movies where you necessarily enjoy what you’re seeing.

    Watched Circle last week (not the Tom Hanks/Emma Watson one). Good horror/suspense, in the same genre as The Platform or Cube. The setup was fascinating, although the reasoning/explanation behind it all was forced. Would be interested to see a sequel with the exact same setup that just plays out differently. I particularly enjoyed how it played out in more or less real time - no pause to catch your breath, really.

    I like movies like this, I would highly recommend
    Coherence,
    The Man From Earth,
    The Exam
    Rear Window(Such a classic)
    Cube 1
    Devil
    Buried
    1408
    The Killing Room(I personally really liked this one)
    Phone Booth(One of my favorite movies)
    Tape(Spoke about this in my last post, its weird, intense, and so well acted)
    The Shallows (2 hours of Blake Lively being hot stock on a Rock while a Shark tried to eat her)
    House of 9 (9 people, with seemingly no connection, wake up in like a super locked down mansion)
    P2 (Chick from awesome time travel show gets locked in an underground parking lot. Shit starts to happen)

    Those are all the ones I've personally seen and like. Its probably one of my favorite type of movies because it just relies on actors and their emotions, not big CGI such and such, or some stereotypical love drama. Its just interested stories, told very well.

    Good list, I will definitely add a couple to my IMDB watchlist.

    Curious why you mentioned:

    Assuming you're talking about the Hitchcock film, that seems like a very different movie to me, at least in terms of tone. I guess the common element is a single set piece or location?

    If that's what you're after, I would definitely recommend Rope, Lifeboat, and Dial M for Murder, other Hitchcock films that took place largely in one location - Rope in particular. My girlfriend and I recently watched all of a Hitchcock boxed set, and have seen 19 of his films, mostly in the time of COVID. Other Hitchcock recommendations, although not in the single set genre: Frenzy, North by Northwest, The Trouble with Harry, Marnie.

    "The Lodge" - currently on Hulu. Not A24, but it's some A24 quality horror. Highly recommend.

    Archive was enjoyable.
    Spoiler: show
    Was kinda like if 2001: A Space Odyssey and Black Mirror made a movie together.

    The Man from Earth is amazing. I'll say it again - I've never enjoyed watching people just sit and talk so much.
