Hounded 2022 ★★★
Like many movies in the genre, this has a few titles flying around: Hounded, Hunted,...
The story? A few burglars/robbers get caught on the one gig after one of them explicitly states he wants to quit. Guess who dies first? Uhu.
The plot is your typical generic action horror thriller. A bit of class warfare, a bit of hinting at abuse, a bit about tradition,... The baddies are dressed like fox hunters. Which is kind of logical, but mostly makes for a cool movie poster.
No great shakes, but still entertaining and Samantha Bond makes for a good villain. The kind of stuff you would come across and afterwards go: hmm, that was better/less bad than I thought it would be.
Come to think of it: this would be great for Netflix, actually.
Sleepless in Seattle 1993 ★★
Sam Baldwin: Didn't you see "Fatal Attraction"?
Jonah Baldwin: You wouldn't let me!
Not going to lie. This movie got a few laughs out of me and Tom Hanks can be genuinely funny. Oh yeah, and Bill Pullman is totally fucking underrated.
That said, it's still a rom com, so I was closer to yawning when I should have been fawning. Also, the secondary story lines (like Victoria and her cackle) were annoying and boring.
So what did make my heart melt, were the shots of Pike. What does that say about me? #therapist #curiousquestions
