https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAMVwTgSO0w The Dead Center: A hospital psychiatrist’s own sanity is pushed to the edge when a frightened amnesiac patient insists that he has died and brought something terrible back from the other side.

Did you know Polaroid only makes digital cameras now? Oh, and this film was supposed to be released in 2017, but Weinstein went bakrupt and the German distributor is releasing it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjxUL0NI9O4 Mister America stars Tim Heidecker as a man (with the same name) running for district attorney after beating a murder charge for selling faulty e-cigarettes at an EDM festival.

This satire appears more satisfying than Her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbyJignbSj0 Gemini Man stars Will Smith and Will Smith as a man and his government clone. The action film is dircted by Ang Lee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMvEWm5FYHc Parasite gets a wider release.
