Heartstopper is such a fun and legitimately enjoyable movie. Much deeper than I'd have expected.

Still not sure why this movie is shat on as much as it is. Yeah, it gets dumb, but it's a ton of fun, kick ass music, Emilio and Pat are top notch in spite of being directed by an amateur on coke...

I hated Maximum Overdrive. Almost any slasher from the 1980's, no matter how low quality, is far superior to that movie. :P

That said, I've not seen it in years. At the same time, however, when I do get around to re-watching it, I'm not expecting a giant shift in my opinion.

The Tattooist (2007), which I've had on DVD with a few other flicks, started out okay, but it didn't take long for it to become markedly atrocious.

The "we made you!" rant from the waitress is pretty horribly overacted though, lol. Laughably bad.

Pieces, while I've only seen it once, is vastly better than Maximum Overdrive. When I rewatch Pieces, I doubt my high opinion of that will change either. :P

Yeah, after everything is said and done. It's a very simple premise just done in an extravagant way of storytelling.

Yeah, I heard about that. Weird way to go. Why not not just release the blu ray?
That will be available Dec 26th.

So is it a horror movie, because I thought it seemed like a disease drama like Outbreak. I haven't seen it, just basing that on the trailers.

I liked Discopath, but the climax was a little eh. The kill scenes definitely reminded me of the sleazy late 70's and early 80's, though not up to the talent of Tom Savini unfortunately.
