They are both TNT Sunday afternoon movies you will rewatch someday and take a nap through half it.

Crawl was good, this is a "me" problem but when I see high rotten tomato scores and read reviews sometimes my expectations of the movie pre-screening become unachievable. Crawl was good but I was expecting a kinda cult hit. and I love the tnt sunday afternoon movies too.

but I do feel like the director was trying to straddle 2 different genres and ended up with an uneven movie and failed at achieving either genre .. one trying to make it seem realistic "could happen" and the other being an action crowd pleaser. Like it wanted to be a fun movie theater scare joint but also wanted to not come close to the sharknadoo category.

I wish it embraced a more "zoombieland" fun action movie but also high production value, character development and coherent story arc ... the gators looked great, the shooting and lighting and camera angles were well done ... it could have been more.

I do it to myself. often. usually in the dark.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood -- have it on netflix dvd and have watched it 3 times in the past 5 nights. just really good, dicaprio's acting is amazing, brad pitt's character was one note and he didnt get the same opportunity as leo to show a full spectrum but he did a great job acting like he was on acid. that bit of scene acting he did there was awesome.

love the movie, love the details, love the feel

really hope Tarantino doesnt stop at 10 movies (his next is no. 10)
