• Death of a Unicorn, a horror-comedy from A24
  • The Woman in the Yard, a psychological horror from Blumhouse
  • A Working Man, an action-thriller from MGM

I’m making this post to bring attention to original movies being released that people here might not have heard about. If it’s recieved well, perhaps I’ll make this a weekly series of posts about originals being released.

Okay, technically, A Working Man is based on a book, but for all intents and purposes, it’s original.

    There’s a time for everything, is my personal take. Sometimes I want a film that will be original and challenge me, but I don’t want that every day.

    Sometimes it’s relaxing to know there won’t be any big surprises.

      Sure. I’d never pay theater money for such an experience though. Like going to a restaurant. One day I don’t want beef bourguignon, some days I want a pack of noodles. But I won’t go to the theaters restaurant to get a pack of noodles.

        That’s fair, but the analogy is wrong, imo. In the sense that I can enjoy a good movie anywhere. I don’t need to see the green book in a cinema to enjoy it, it’s probably even better at home. I go to the cinema for the experience…the huge screen, the sound, etc. Which is why the only movies I’ve seen in cinemas in the past years are Avatar, Furiosa, Deadpool and into the spider verse, pretty much.

          I don’t understand how the analogy is wrong if you are describing exactly what I mean. I won’t go to the theaters either if it’s not something spectacular that is enhanced in the cinema in a way that can’t be done at home. Exactly like those movies you mention. And that becomes increasingly difficult for the cinema when I have a 65" OLED with 5.1 surround sound at home. Especially considering the comfort (and price 🏴‍☠️) of watching at home.

          Only ever will I go to the cinema with my kids as an outing, or my wife as a date type of scenario. Otherwise it’s just not worth it IMO. At home I can go to the loo, get a snack, talk all I want, sit on my phone during boring parts… List goes on. 😄

            Well, I was just thinking that you can do the bourguignon at home, whereas you can’t really have an IMAX at home. Maybe I was just overthinking it, my bad :D sorry

              I can build an IMAX at home too (theoretically), but that’s a very hypothetical situation that isn’t really part of the analogy. 😁 The implication was that the bourguignon is best at a fancy restaurant. 😉
