Movie update, late September

I thought I'd do a movie update since it's been a couple of months. (The movies we saw before this are at the bottom, for reference! I like to keep a running list.)

I have only seen a few movies since mid-July, really:
Shang-Chi (twice)
The Suicide Squad
The Green Knight

We both really liked all three of these. I was really surprised that the new Suicide Squad didn't make that much money (compared to the older one that everybody said they hated but apparently everybody went to see just the same!) - honestly, I liked the older one too, but objectively the new one is a much better movie, which is why I'm surprised. And Shang-Chi (and the Legend of the Ten Rings, yeah yeah) was really a lot of fun. Quality-wise, considerably better than Black Widow. (My main gripe with Shang-Chi was that the last part was murky like a DC movie - I'm unclear on why they felt that was necessary. But that's a relatively small gripe.)

Rob has seen a lot more:
Malignant (twice)
Candyman (which is I guess a reboot??)
The Night House
Don't Breathe 2
Old
Escape Room 2

I believe he would tell you he liked most all of these. He only went to Malignant twice, though. Apparently Malignant kind of walks the line between horror and thriller, sort of? and he thought that was intriguing. He also thought that probably made it difficult to market!

In two more months it'll be Holidailies time, and I'll presumably be updating more regularly. Hard to believe it's already fall!



Previously in 2021, I saw:
Black Widow
Army of the Dead
The Courier
Raya and the Last Dragon

Rob saw all of those plus these:
The Forever Purge
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It
A Quiet Place 2
Spiral
