As per usual, he lacks that Eastwood sense of danger & charm and yet has the smugness of a thousand men🤷 #NowWatching The Silent Stranger (1968)

Brandon and I worked SO hard on this, and I feel that as a TV movie fan myself, we put together a really wonderful package. I hope you think so too! I'm just so excited about it. And proud!
neutral · AI labelView post →Sure, The Only Living Pickpocket in New York is a story about a thief who has to steal a USB or lose everything he loves. But more than that, this movie is a New York movie through and through. Head to The Stranger to read Kathy Fennessy's full review.

positive · AI labelView post →This horror movie cover art is killing me. Stealing the Stranger Things font and color palette, a bastardization of the Spider-Man saying, with the silliest-looking emo white boy as the lead. I laugh every time I see it.
neutral · AI labelView post →I praised Green Room for The Stranger 10 years ago. Unfortunately, only a portion of the review survives. Ah well. Suffice to says it's hard to go wrong with a Jeremy Saulnier film. And if you're enjoying HBO's Lanterns and haven't seen Rebel Ridge with Aaron Pierre, I couldn't recommend it more.

Shouldn't judge a film based on one scene, but I'm gonna repeat what I said about the Stranger Thing finale. There's need be someone in Hollywood whose entire job is just asking "Why is this so brown?"

One I saw that this group might like was the psychological horror film Spiral (The Stranger, in Italian). Wife & mother of a well-off family is presented w a diabolical choice, which spirals into yet worse choices
positive · AI labelView post →These are mostly done around Halloween as part of their Halloween events, but sometimes they do them other times of year if they're tying into a specific movie release. Like the Stranger Things skins when the final season dropped, or the Scream skins when one of the recent sequels came out.

Naked Came The Stranger is actually meh in terms of plot but that new york scene makes the whole film worth it imo.

Echoes of Denis Villeneuve's earlier work. It's slow, not for everyone. Keeps pushing you deeper. Best if you know nothing about it.
