Which movie did you watch today and how would you rate it?

The Housemaid

I really can't reveal much about the movie without revealing the entire plot. I will say it's a horror thriller that is quite well acted by two of the three main characters. Sidney Sweeney comes off as a tiny bit flat (unlike her fantastic rack) as the live-in maid who has to deal with the mother who hired her when it becomes apparent the mother is literally quite crazy and dangerous. And then the plot twists.

7.5 and well worth a watch.

Thanks for that. I've gone back and forth on whether or not to pay the astronomical $5.99 fee to rent this one. Thus, since I'm now going to rent it, I'm holding you liable and you can expect a letter from my lawyer should I disagree with you about the quality of this movie.

Zip is right. It's a good flick. I've actually seen it twice. To describe what's good about it would amount to spoilers, so I won't. If you don't like it you can hassle me about it.

One of my favourite comedies is Ruthless People. A few months ago a friend informed me, without using the exact words, that I am a barbarian with no taste.

Watched it again the other day.

Sorry, still hilarious.

Do people who are not "ruthless" have ruth?

Ruthless People

Do people who are not "ruthless" have ruth?

Maybe, probably. Ruth is pity or compassion. But you're joking and I didn't get it, right?

That's not a movie, that's Ikea.

Nope. Never heard of it. I'll look it up.

ETA: Trailer looked pretty cool.

Ruthless People

Do people who are not "ruthless" have ruth?

Here's a paradox for you. The people who have Ruth tied up in a back room somewhere are ruthless.

And the people who have ruth, don't.

 

[WAB]

The ruthless man had Ruth,
He tied her in a knot;
And while this man had Ruth,
The man with ruth did not.



Wait...this can be improved...
