Right there with you. They all lean heavily on the gimmick.

This rant was triggered by a super hyped up recommendation that turned out to be found footage. Project almanac which is a time travel story and is found footage and so your response is acceptable.

Fair but when you dog deeper into subgenres it becomes a much larger percentage. Example: supernatural / haunting

Really good to see Gyllenhaal kept to doing strong roles in films and didn't get attached to too many popcorn films or teen comedies.

Such a damn good movie. I remember STARZ played the hell out of this in late 2000.

Yes and I noted that in post. This rant was triggered by a super hyped up recommendation that turned out to be found footage.

Reply to How do you decide how much to rate a film? by fosjanwt
Personally I go with a 5 star.
5 absolutely shut up and watch. No Country for Old Men.
A 1 would be avoid at all cost. Boogeyman (2005) Still remember, pushing through it. At least to see the Boogeyman. Wow, just wow.
Although a movie should be rated twice too. As a general movie, and then on a genre type. In particular, with horror movies. You sometimes have to let things slide.
Ps Boogeyman is just terrible. As a mainstream and as a horror film.

On that note. I can't do the interview format on shows either. Some exceptions on both notes are Trailer Park Boys. Never cared for the office myself, I tried to make it through S1 and gave up. Tried parks and rec and boom office format. Done. What we do in the shadows is okay but it took a few false starts and in super small doses

1: Can't believe I watched this. I'm going straight on the internet to vent on an internet movie website
2: Still can't believe I watched this, but I had some really nice snacks while watching it so I'm in a good mood
3: Bad film, but there were some decent parts/characters
4: Not a waste of time, but won't live long in the memory
5: Average. Watch if you're bored
6: Not bad. Enjoyed parts of it. Could improve with some changes
8: Good film.
9: Great film.
10: Masterpiece. I'm going to be replaying it in my head for the next week at least.
Most films are 4 - 8.

Not a movie but Barry (TV show) is a great dark comedy.

My friends do this too, but we go with Yost’s classic speech:
You BLITZ! ALL! NIGHT! I don’t want them to gain another yard! You make sure they REMEMBER! FOREVER! The night they played the Titans.

Two found footage films, as a horror enthusiast, I love are Creep (2014) and Creep 2 (2017).
