Ooh, The Walk is good, and so is Terminator: Genisys and Fate of the Furious (in my opinion).
Right now I'm working on What Lies Beneath, and then I think I'm done, xD

An Oscar winner and two Golden Globe nominees (Cybill Shepherd, Martin Landau, Raymond Burr) walk into a terrible science-fiction film by infamous schlockmeister, Greydon Clark.
The Return (1980): Close Encounters of the Third Kind meets The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Meets Sweeney Todd/Upton Sinclair's The Jungle with a dash of 2001?!
One of the best Rifftrax commentary track in quite a while. Dems rotten low hanging fruit picked just right. 1/10 for the movie.

The clip for it had me hysterical, particularly the eggs scene... gotta see it sometime.

Stephen Atwood, I saw The Return (1980) once on a TV and then searched for 20 years to even know the title. Stumbled upon it by accident last year thanks to Cecil Trachenburg and his coverage.
It's not a perfect movie, but it has a very original, if somewhat half-baked concept. I love hybrid oddities and this, as a sci-fi slasher about alien abductions, still delivers. Not to mention that Vincent Schiavelli was never once bad in the movie.

Patriot Games (1992) (6/10)
This movie is enjoyable, but it becomes hard to separate this one from the others Harrison Ford's action flicks.
As I said below, the is no real ambition, they rebooted a very successful character with a very successful actor, they also used a very conventional style of directing.
Plus, it is simply another unnecessary movie depicting the United States has a hero. Honestly, the title didn't make false promises, it is called Patriot Games, and it perfectly describes this movie.
Despite what I mentioned below, Harrison Ford is according to me to the best interpretation of Jack Ryan, he is charismatic and has well-written dialogues.

Clear and Present Danger:
Comment: Better than Patriot Games
2 Fast 2 Furious:
Comment: Awfully directed, awfully scripted
Crna macka, beli macro:
Comment: Shocking that despite it 50k votes and his 8.1 ratings, it is not in the Top 1000
The Rocketeer:
Comment: The average bad 1990s Disney movie
A King in New York:
Comment: Funny but the dialogues are poorly written
Monsieur Verdoux:
Comment: By far the best and the darkest Chaplin ever
Hereditary:
Comment: Does Hollywood understand what "horror" means!!!!!!! This is not a horror movie it is a fantasy movie for teenagers.

I'm mad at Hereditary
1) Total rip-off of The Shining's camera turns, but they use it in every damn shot.
2) I don't care about the useless highschool life teenager, it is pointless for the movie.
3) Who the hell decided to cut the burning scene and the decapitations scene, they wanted to attract a younger audience, and they decided to cut all the potentially gory elements to please the MPAA. UGHHHHHHHH
4) Why did they hire Tony Colette, she should have continued to play in cheap Christmas movies (such a bad actress).

"Hereditary:

We may share similar feelings about this critically praised horror film, but ... WOW! Are you far off here. It's an independent film from A24. It's hardly a Hollywood feature. One major contention I have against your critique is that Tony Collette could have easily been nominated for this role. The older son gave a damn Razzie worthy turn.
"2) I don't care about the useless highschool life teenager, it is pointless for the movie."
It's their film to make. If you don't like that perspective, then don't watch it.
I gave the film a 4/10. Much of the scenes were laugh out loud worthy, including the major decapitation scene where stupidity was the major cause of the incident. The brother could have easily called for an ambulance instead of recklessly driving home for his sister's meds.

I have put off watching this movie, despite its respectable rating and reviews for a long time... something about the Plot Synopsis gave me a feeling that it would be lame.
(I had the same feeling about Eternal Sunshine.. which was released like 16 years ago... when I eventually attempted to watch it, it was as bad as I had imagined.)
Not gonna watch Hereditary.

Monsieur Verdoux:I really need to see this movie, wanted to for several years after reading a script.

I watched this recently and rated 9. It is one of the best musical movie I have ever seen. The dark comedy theme and still making it lively enough.
Emir Kusturica's Underground is another such movie.

Hazbin Hotel (TV Series 2019– ), a studioless attempt at an adult-targeted mature, musical animated series. So far, there's only the pilot which was insanely popular on YouTube. Difficult to rate. Wildly wacky character design and great voice acting. If it hadn't had 35M views on YouTube, I wonder how it managed to not be demonetized (and there were more ad breaks than most YouTube videos I've watched).

Stephen Atwood, sounds like an intriguing concept.
Underwater (2020)
Awful attempt at a "creature feature".
Literally unwatchable to completion despite its modest ~95 minute runtime
2/10

I mean, I still will, but I will heed your warning.

The Philadelphia Story (1940), not particularly romantic and even less funny and throw in a few dashes of casual misogyny. A 5/10.
Exactly. I couldn't agree more, especially the mysoginy comment: https://m.imdb.com/review/rw2701927/
And please, don't get me started on the so-called feminist undertones just because Hepburn plays a very strong and outspoken character. If one thing, the film proves (and quite realistically) that a woman can be as strong, as bossy, as a bully as a man IF she's rich. It attacks the core of feminism, which is the perpetual antagonism between men and women by showing that it's only a matter of rich vs. poor. It's funny how the film works better as a social commentary, and it's only by realizing that she wouldn't live with a man who'd prevent her from freedom by letting her drink and loosen up, that Tracy goes with the rich guy, of course, only rich can afford to be decadent.

Hauru no ugoku shiro/Howl's Flying Castle (7/10)
Moral of the film: No matter how powerful/magic you are, you need hair dye to change the color of your hair.
