Upcoming...

The Pelican Brief. Definitely entertaining. Great John Grisham(you’ve seen The Firm?) film adoption, or whatever. Words. Nice choice. Long Live Popcorn! 🍿

I hope you will also watch Star Trek Picard season 3 after the movies!!

When is Star Trek done for good?

The ONE 'Scary-but-not-too-scary' movie Cass absolutely HAS to watch this October is The Village. It has an absolutely star-studded cast, one of the most beautiful scores in memory and, most importantly, it's an AMAZING love story pretending to be a horror movie. I missed out last October but it's my mission to get that film on her radar this year no matter what!

Cassie enjoyed Romancing the Stone so much - how has she not made it around to the sequel Jewel of the Nile yet? She'll love it!

Assuming everyone's comments section suddenly changed like mine did, this new comments already has a glitch (big surprise, right?) I noticed some of the comments under my horror film list comment below are missing. So I counted and there are 21 comments even though the comment counter shows 26. This is bad as some comments are replying to other comments that are no longer there. EDIT - just noticed at the bottom of the comments there's a tab to load comments but when I press it nothing happens, I can't collapse comments either.

No Country and There Will Be Blood? Its gonna be like 2007 all over again 😊 I can't wait

.......Or, we could just watch Horror of Dracula and call it a day.

Since some people didn't like my list of horror films for October here's a few more for them to not like: Last Voyage of the Demeter Smile Brightburn The Ritual Doctor Sleep (director's cut)

TCM (73) is worse then the devil movies there is reason why my friends and I call it the Grand Daddy of all horror movies. For a female take any devil movie and it is 10x worse. Imagine watching a murder in slow motion. That's about the equivalent of TCM(73) DON'T WATCH IT! Kick A$$ Dear G 🤦D. Really? I must object in the strongest possible terms. Eva and I have started creating videos clips mixed together to completely make fun of this movie. Hail to the clips some dude on Instagram called them memes. Yeah he got blocked in three seconds flat. https://youtu.be/6UrPRVN7MSk?si=9YJuEMAGO1Da8ei_

Really looking forward to No Country and There Will Be Blood! Kind of a shame Cassie will never see some really well-done modern horror like Hereditary or The Witch. Stuff with really good acting and writing, and not just a bunch of cheap jump scares or gore for the sake of it. I mean, everyone knows Toni Collette was robbed of an Oscar nomination for Hereditary, if not the award itself.

Since people here have begun the annual "Suggest non-horror films for Oct. to keep real horror from being watched" suggestions (and because Shehab Dawoud asked) I decided to put out a list of real horror films for October. Night of The Living Dead (68), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (73) Fright Night (85) It: Chapter 2 Saw Train to Busan It Follows Let the Right One In Dog Soldiers Ginger Snaps Cube X Pearl Troll Hunter Can't think of anymore right now, but I might add to it later. And The Fly is not on there because Cassie was implying it will be watched on a post I made on Runner-up poll 2

Here's 3 family-friendly spooky-themed movies for October, which are about horror films without being scary themselves Ed Wood (1994) - 7.8 on IMDB Matinee (1993) - 6.9 on IMDB Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) - 6.6 on IMDB

Pelican Brief already up. Back end of this week is gonna be lit!

Another great 2007 movie is "Hot Fuzz"

So happy to see you're finally getting to Pelican Brief.. loved that movie and will be a great watch for you and Carly I think. The other two are well respected movies but definitely not my personal cup of tea. Will keep my fingers crossed for you on those two.

Halloween/October suggestions: Frailty (Directed by Bill Paxton. Starring Paxton and Matthew McConaughey) Fallen (Denzel, John Goodman, Donald Sutherland) Train to Busan (A fantastic Korean zombie film with surprisingly little gore, but a lot of heart - bring tissues) Scream 2 (Because it wouldn't be Halloween without suggesting a sequel, right?) And finally, one I don't consider a horror film - but a great thriller: Panic Room (director of The Game and Zodiac, starring Jodie Foster, Forrest Whitaker, Jared Leto and Kristen Stewart). And Cassie, if Carly is willing, she could definitely handle Train to Busan (seriously not very bloody at all for a movie about fast zombies) and Panic Room (she liked Zodiac and The Game).

No Star Trek this week? Oh well, Cassie. I thought you might have planned a special watch along for Star Trek Day on September 8th.

Ok. I often confuse "No Country For Old Men" (which I've seen) with "There Will Be Blood" (which I have not). Also, I can't believe I still haven't seen "Logan" yet (though I did see "Deadpool & Wolverine." Maybe this is a reason to get caught up.

🤣🤣🤣 beddie baddies 🤣🤣🤣 youre so funny , you knew as soon as it left your tongue . looking forward to all these .

I think I've said this before but I don't think you'll like No Country for Old Men or There Will Be Blood, but they are both movies that everyone should see at least once. Good luck!

Hope we get some real horror films this year. I already see a lot of vaguely horror-like but not really horror films being recommended. Hopefully Cassie will ignore all that.

Did NOT expect to see Kick-Butt on the list! Lots of wincing and "ew"ing comin up!

Maybe we should just go all-in on bleak 2007 movies an replace the "The Pelican Brief" with "In the valley of Elah" with Charlize Theron and Tommy Lee Jones, the latter getting an Oscar nomination for best lead actor. It feels similar to NCFO and TWBB, but all 3 are in different time periods. It feel similar because of Roger Deakins who was the cinematographer for it and NCFO. I'm obviously kidding, but there certainly was a style for a bunch of 2007 movies. But there was a lot of solid movies from that year as well. "Wolf creek" (2005) is and will probably remain my October suggestion.

Nice touch putting There Will Be Blood same week as No Country For Old Men. Now Cassie can experience these two films like many of us did that year. That was a year to remember!

My first time watching all three of these movies. I know they're good. I was busy watching other movies and these somehow fell through the cracks. :)

Dead Again, with Emma Thompson and her then husband, Ken Branagh. Scary, but not too scary with a romantic sub-plot.

Looking forward to these, football season and crisp fall air.

BTW a good, solid suspense-thriller for this "scary but not too scary" October that I think you would actually enjoy (in spite of it definitely scaring you in a few places) is WAIT UNTIL DARK with Audrey Hepburn.

Blade (1998) Pitch Black (2000) Manhunter (1986) They Live (1988) The Mothman Prophecies (2002) Evil Dead 2 (1987) / Army of Darkness (1992) My absolute top picks for movies that fit the definition of "Scary, but not to Scary".

Wow Cassie, lots to look forward too! Thank you. “There will be blood” is my kinda movie. One for the movie critic in me. It’s just not one I would pick for you! So I’m curious as to how you will find it? For me, It doesn’t tick any of your boxes. But, I do think you might admire Daniel Day Lewis’s performance in this. It’s Truly epic! And the score! Sometimes I think it is over looked, but it really sets the tone for the movie. So glad you are watching “the Pelican Brief” i really think you will enjoy this one. A really well written thriller. More trek as well to come. Thanks Cassie, your the best! 😊

I think "Sweeny Todd" would make a great scary-but-not-too-scary October movie.

Kevin Spacey and Daniel Day-Lewis: one went from selling shoes to winning oscars, the other did the reverse.

Finally FINALLY, There Will Be Blood. I absolutely can’t wait for that reaction

Woohoo. Deadpool 2 is $9.99 on iTunes; and The Pelican Brief is only $4.99 on iTunes too.

How did Kick A$$ get on the schedule? Runner up, I guess! And Four Weddings wow, that will be a good one!

Heavy Drama this week. Heavy, heavy, heavy.

Been meaning to watch There Will Be Blood so this gives me the excuse to do so, also the trivia night dosen't fall on a worknight for me, excellent.

Some suggestions for October- Saw (2004) - of course Mr. Brooks (2007) - fairly Carly safe and stars Kevin Costner Strangeland (1998) - a bit odd, but it somehow works Abraham Lincoln - Vampire Hunter (2012) - it's history! Quarantine (2008) Some that work for October but are better year-round- Ghost Town (2008) - 100% Carly safe, not scary at all love story but has ghosts The Perfect Host (2010) - stars Niles from Frasier Pacific Heights (1990) Copycat (1995)

Thinking ahead to October...anyone besides me think Cassie would like "Let Me In"? Some will say the Swiss version is better, but I love the American version with Chloe Moretz...my favorite movie of that type.

watch some cartoons or rom-coms between those 2 last movies...

Apple crisp. Yep Canadian 😊

With those two heavy movies "There Will Be a Blanket Covered Face".

Every time I saw you post about Invincible my brain registered it as Invictus. If you want another good football movie, Invictus with Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon should definitely be on your list. Pelican Brief and No Country are two of my favourite thrillers.

No Country For Old Men should be interesting.

I'm thinking about Cassie watching "No Country" and "There Will Be Blood" one after the other, and I can't help but think of that scene in Ace Ventura 2 when Jim Carrey's got two spears in his legs.

This week looks...spectacular (for us)...

Oh my gosh, Cassie! I cannot wait to experience the breathtaking precision and knife-edge tension of No Country for Old Men with you, followed by the monumental scope and volcanic energy of There Will be Blood. Two of the great American films right there.

Woah gritty is right. You said it. Those Patreon uploads especially with the gold color scheme look really nice next to each other. Pelican Brief will be a fairly tense thriller that Carly might actually enjoy. Lots of intrigue. Very curious how you'll react to the other ones. Fun couple of weeks!

I don't think you'll like No Country for Old Men, or There will be blood. Neither seem your speed! But the Pelican Brief, I know you'll enjoy. On my favorites list all time! John Grisham, riveting!

Great lineup.

Whoa!!! Amazing lineup this week. This is like Christmas in July. Except in September. Been looking forward to "The Pelican Brief" for sooooo long. (And "Conspiracy Theory" too, which is just as good, but we'll keep working on that one) Then we get "No Country For Old Men" - this is such an amazing movie, but quite tricky too. It's going to be very interesting. This is sort of a "skill check" movie along the path of Cassie's growth as a movie connoisseur. Then we get Daniel Day-Lewis - one of the all time greatest chameleons in Hollywood. Every performance of his is a masterpiece.

Major Payne’s voice came to mind at the beginning of this.

The Pelican Brief is a really good move. Just rewatched it a few months ago. I think Cassie will like that one. Not sure what Carly with think, but I’m excited to find out. 🍿 Never heard of the other two so that usually means they’re not for me.

"You can't stop what's coming." 😁

Amazing week . I still think TWBB should have won the Oscar over No County .

That's quite the double feature of intensity. I look forward to it.

Looking forward to No Country for Old Men. Also There Will Be Blood and TNG.

oh wow are you going to love FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL. That is right up your alley.

Thank, Cassie! Hope you and the family are getting past the illnesses and gearing up for early fall comfort food deliciousness (start cinnamon and apple smells). These are all acclaimed films. Love to hear sometime what you think your two or three biggest changes in thinking about movies since you started the channel and if those changes in perspective have affected your perceptions of other things, events in your life. Happy! Happy! God Bless!

“Beddie Baddies” 😂 How about “Pillow Poppers”? Happy Labor Day, Cassie! Kinda bummed that summer is unofficially over, but I refuse to let it go until it gets too chilly to take a dip in the pool. I love September and Autumn as well, but I dread what follows. Once Xmas and New Years passes, I wish I could go into hibernation until May. If only. Looking forward to the Runners Up polls, and I am totally into the runners up being watched, since my picks don’t look like they’ll win. Its all good though, as I’m sure I’ll enjoy whatever reactions are posted. Really looking forward to the first Star Trek TNG movie, Kick Booty, and Four Weddings 👍 “October movies before we know it”. Typing that probably sent a chill up your spine. I sent you my very first package in August, so I’m really excited for the live on 10/4. I’ll be there for the Trivia contest…I like to think I have a pretty good knowledge of movie trivia, but I’ve been severely humbled in the past, so..,🤞 Hope you have a great week! And hope the kids are settling in at school. Ciao!

"a 90's legal drama with two heavy hitters if you know what I mean!" I watched Erin Brockovich; I know *exactly* what you mean! ... ... :-P :-P :-P

Logan was an interesting reaction from both ladies. I actually feel proud that even though it was bloody and at times a hard watch you watched it understood it and liked it . Still don't think Cassie would have liked it as much 2 years ago and Carly seems to be surviving the bloody movies better as well but not sure if she needs many because she's such a good soul. You are too Cassie but you've been doing reactions longer and more of them. Looking forward to all the September movies you mentioned but can't wait for Deadpool 2 and the beginning of TNG movies.

Cassie, Yes I wrote you long and tedious email today that according to my future wife was long overdue. Last Thursday the 29th was my 45th birthday. I told everyone I didn't expect to live this long. My gf got off early that day and said there is a package from Canada for you. I opened it up there was a card and two tickets on the floor for a Taylor Swift concert on November 15, 2024 in the Rogers Center in Toronto. We both freaked out. If you would have told me a year ago that I would like Star Trek and Taylor Swift I would have laughed at you. Now because of Cassie that is true she made me a huge Taylor Swift fan and a Star Trek fan. Thank You Cassie. https://youtu.be/99lzReqAYWI?si=6DOIfMqb_nlQ_psx

No Country and There Will Be Blood filmed at the same time in the same place, released the same year, and two of the best films of the last 20 years

No Country AND There Will Be Blood? Holy crap. Cassie's gonna be stressed out. 🤣

Wait. You're doing NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN *and* THERE WILL BE BLOOD in the same week? Holy crap. They're both brilliant movies (and actually were released the same year such that they competed with one another for Best Picture at the Oscars; I would have been fine with either one winning) but this is going to be intense.

Here is a rare interview with Daniel Day Lewis on Michael Parkinson's UK chat show in 2006. just before he went off to film There Will Be Blood (2007)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mymLbzfVg9g

Cassie I love all you’re reactions, but this is probably the lineup of the year!

You mentioned it, everybody's favorite month is right around the corner. For that reason, I have carefully, meticulously, designed a program for that month. I believe true Horror movie fans will appreciate it. You've already said you're watching Invasion of The Body Snatchers and The Frighteners, that's fine, we can allow some soft ones. But besides that, here's what I've cooked up: Night of The Living Dead (1968), OG Zombie film. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1973), iconic, trailblazing, what can I say? The Omen (1976), the most underrated Horror ever IMO. Friday The 13th (1980), part of the Big 3 with Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street. Fright Night (1985), vampires, but it got that 80's High School vibe, I think you'd like it. The Fly (1986), I mean, if not... some people here will riot, I may be one of them xD. Scream 2 (1997), many think it's better than the original! I Know What You did Last Summer (1997), teenagers, some familiar faces I'm sure. The Blair Witch Project (1999), OG found footage film, Scary Movie (2000), hilarious comedy that spoofs a lot of films, including the previous 3 on the list. American Psycho (2000), a Thriller but could be a good warmup, late September? Christian Bale's best performance! The Visit (2015), my favorite M. Night Shyamalan film. The Lighthouse (2019), this will definitely be an experience! Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson, The Green Goblin and Batman as lighthousekeepers, can't be anything but fun! The ones I think Carly could watch with you: Night of The Living Dead, I Know what You Did Last Summer, Blair Witch, and the last 3. I think realistically, half of them could make it. But of course I'm hoping for more.

I can't remember what place Rounders came in on one of the polls, but hopefully you will be able to watch that one soon.

I know the Pelicin Brief its a good movie, usually Danzel picks movies well.

THE PELICAN BRIEF?!!!🥳🎊🎉 THE reaction I've been waiting for!!! Two of Hollywood's heavy's at the peak of of their powers who became "besties" during filming JULIA Robert's was "America's Sweatheart" at the time and Denzel is...well...uh...DENZEL. So EXCITED for this one. THANK YOU!!!👍🏾👏🏾💘

Logan, No Country, and There Will Be Blood. Better make sure my tissues are stocked up. I never would have admitted that before Cassie

I'm so looking forward to your reactions to No Country For Old Men (2007) and There Will Be Blood (2007), two of the most brilliant movies of the decade. Also I really hope one day there will be a poll for Daniel Day Lewis movies, he is one of the most brilliant actors of all time. Sean Penn once said of him "He may very well be the greatest actor ever recorded to the screen!"

Cassie will like Pelican Brief for sure.

This week is why you should enjoy a palette-cleanser of a movie like The Court Jester. It would work post-October too.

well...I'll watch The Pelican Brief, at least.

Logan is great, a little more vulgar than previous Wolverines movies but highly entertaining nonetheless. Course you have seen Deadpool.

No country for old men and There will be blood back 2 back?? Ohh man. Gonna be a rough week for Cassie.

October movies?? Is it time for Barbarian and maybe Cobweb soon? One can hope!

The mask of Zorro Alita battle angel

When will you get to the Star Trek movies with Chris Pine? These earlier Star Trek episodes from tv… are people still even interested in them?

The Pelican Brief is over long and tedious imo. Not a fan.

Cassie by the end of the week: “I’m finished!” 🎳

This probably isn’t my favourite week, but the rest of September is looking pretty good.

Fun fact, No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood came out the same year and competed against each other at the Oscars. One of the closest races for best picture in recent memory

I hope people temper their expectations for No Country for Old Men. Some people absolutely love that movie, but I just can’t imagine your reaction to it will be what people are hoping for. I’ve never seen There Will be Blood, but have always meant to. I’m not anticipating a very fun week for you watching movies, so maybe it’s good the movies that are winning the current polls are what they are.

Also ..No Country For Old Men AND There Will Be Blood... this is a pretty heavy week!

No Country for Old Men AND There Will Be Blood back to back? It’s going to be a taxing week for Cassie

I’m already thinking of all the October movie reactions 😈👹😂

No Country For Old Men AND There Will Be Blood in the same week?? That's dark... I couldn't be happier!

Some really great films this week.

I have not seen the pelican brief for years. Back when Julia Roberts hair was as big as her smile

Great week!

You can watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Doctor Sleep now. Trust me

Beddie. Baddies. 🤣 We'll forgive that one... not sure if we'll let you off that easy tho.

Yes The Pelican Brief!!

Cassie might officially be broken with the darkness of this week 😅

Oh damn, there are some good ones here

Oh they are putting you through it this week.

No Country for Old Men is an AMAZING movie... I can't wait for her reaction to it.
