I didn't really like Imaginary. There was potential for something pretty good or entertaining, but it just ended up being a really average supernatural-horror film. It lacked scares and lacked imagination, and had very little interesting happening in it. The story and the characters were boring and the creature designs were quite poor as well. In fact, I've watched a few disappointing films this week: Night Swim - An average supernatural horror film about a haunted backyard swimming pool. The cast is pretty good, but they're not given much to work with and the plot is as basic as you would expect from the idea of a haunted swimming pool. No scares, no atmosphere and no tension leaves you with a film that is not really worth watching and that would have worked better as a short film in an anthology. Femme - I'd heard good things about it, but I found it to be a pretty average drama that lacked the impact it was striving for. It's well acted (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and George MacKay are really good) but it wasn't as tense, thrilling or gripping as I had seen it made out as being. Frogman - A boring found footage horror film and a waste of 75-minutes. Poorly written and poorly made, with a lack of scares, tension, atmosphere or entertainment. The Blackening - A really basic, predictable comedy-slasher that is poorly written/improvised and neither funny enough to be a good comedy, nor scary enough to be a good horror.

Anna Sawai from Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and the new Shogun series. Mari Yamamoto from Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. As you might have guessed, I watched Monarch: Legacy of Monsters recently. Looking forward to starting the new Shogun series soon.

The previous NXT thread seems to have been locked and I have not seen a new one created (apologies if one has been). Anyway, last weeks "New Year's Evil" show was pretty good, with Raquel Gonzalez vs. Rhea Ripley in a Last Woman Standing Match and Finn Balor vs Kyle O'Reilly for the NXT title both really solid matches (the rest of the show was an easy watch as well). The return of Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic was announced as well (both Men's and Women's this year). The brackets for the Men's Tournament have been released today (with a mystery MSK team):
