Evil dead. It was entertaining.

The Flash, mildly funny, awful awful CG, the most interesting bit was spoiled in the trailer, I’ll never watch it again. 2/5

Ant man

I rewatched for the third time what we do in the shadows (2014), I love the quirky humor and the mockumentary type of filming

Shoplifters sweet, harsh, and with a nice reveal at the end. It was my second watch as I wanted to revisit it

Avatar: The Way of Water

I liked it. Not much happens story wise but I love exploring the lore and stuff of Pandora.

Blackberry. It is awesome

Just watched Greta Gerwig's Little Women, it was quite enjoyable.

Transformers 1

Last I saw was Tàr in the cinemas when it came out. I liked it, not a lot, but I liked it and defended it against my partner who didn't think much of it.

But I haven't had a film fade away in my mind as much as this, where I went from liking it, to kind of forgetting it and eventually criticising it, just passively as my mind mulled over the film.

When it came time for the Oscars I accurately predicted it wasn't going to win anything because I suspected I wasn't alone in this feeling ... that others would eventually feel like maybe it was just technically good and not actually about much.

The Bad Guys (animated kids film) with my kids for any the 6th time I think. Still pretty good.

Charlie Day's new movie Fools Paradise!

If you like always sunny you'll have a good time spotting cameos from like, everyone.

I really enjoyed the film, but my family wasn't digging it and I could definitely see why.

Glorious - a film about a man's interaction with an other dimensional being he finds in a rest stop bathroom. Very weird, but refreshingly interesting. I didn't know what was going to happen next throughout the whole movie, which was is a change compared to most movies these days. I'd give it an 8/10 overall.

I watched 20 minutes of Moonfall. 20 minutes because it was full of cliches and cringe. Then I watched a YouTube video of Action Adventure Twins who explore deep, unsettling and claustrophobic caves. It was wayy better.

Knock at the Cabin

Not M. Night's best work. I'm not a particular fan anyway, but here's my micro-review. The love story was touching, but didn't wrestle a tear out of me. You can tell from the flashbacks that the writers spent a lot of time thinking about the main characters, but there's not enough screen time dedicated to developing them.

Most of the screen time is spent highlighting two or three perdictable jump scares, and many minutes of bad attempts to build suspense. The religious dogma is boring. If you're going to include that as the premise of your thriller, then at least get creative.

Bautista is the best part and that's saying something.

EDIT: The twist, if you can call it that, is more of a mild tale of morality about how things aren't always what they seem. Blair Witch 2 had a better "twist" and it was one of the worst movies I've ever had to suffer through.

I just spent ten minutes attempting to remember. I did not remember but, whatever it was, it was "meh".

I watched Sick (2022), the story was about normal/average for a slash-horror, but the action scenes themselves were surprisingly well shot. It was written by the same writer of the original Scream movies.

Clueless. It's one of the few films I can actually sit and watch all the way through at home. Witty, campy 90s fun. The fact it's actually an adaptation of Emma by Jane Austen is the icing on the cake.

Free Solo

Impressive what some people can handle.

Repo! The Genetic Opera. It's a rock opera horror set in a dystopian future where organ repossession is a thing. I enjoyed it and might even add it to my background noise rotation.

Spiderman: ATSV. It was so good.

watched Renfield yesterday. was pleasantly surprised. nothing too deep and meaningful but quite entertaining.

Everything Everywhere All At Once (for the second time) and it's even better the second time.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I've seen it before but watched it with friends, including one who had never seen it, after consuming edibles and had fun with it even though it's slow and cheesy.

Turbo kid. It’s a gory mess covered in 80s nostalgia.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Friends of mine were hyped for Across the Spider-Verse and that was my opportunity to go watch the first with them. If you're an animation nut, then yeah, this movie is brilliant for that. A very fun movie, definitely going to pick up the Blu-Ray when I pop to HMV in the future.

Heat....rewatched it for the nth time. One of the all time great crime movies.

The last movie I watched was the latest Shazam movie. One of the kids picked it to watch during their birthday dinner. I know it didn't do well critically but I think it's a fun popcorn movie.

The day prior to that we saw Guardians of the Galaxy 3 in the theater (another birthday pick). A bit predictable (I'm honestly burned out on Marvel movies) but overall enjoyable and a comic book movie origin story that wasn't a retread (i.e. Spiderman, Batman, Superman) we've seen 100x before.

Into the Spiderverse at cinema! It really really blew me away, the visuals, the music, the plot. Honestly an experience. One of the few movies I'd really recommend to watch on cinema (alongside the LOTR movies)

Werewolf of London (1935) - a solid werewolf movie for the period, but with no surprises in the plot - and without a lot of the 'standard' lore that developed around the time.

Chiefly notable, I thought though, in showing a surprisingly independent woman in a failing marriage (failing due to her husband being a werewolf...) and in portraying a drunken upper-middle class woman (and contrasting that with fairly stereotypical drunken working class women). Warner Oland features in one of his many bizarre yellow-face roles too.

Just prior to that I went to a 50th anniversary screening of The Wicker Man (1973), which was as great as ever.

Arielle - not bad. Most of the songs were still great. Eric's standalone was incredibly weaksauce though. Triton's casting and makeup was fucking S Teir. I thought making all the daughters different races somewhat based on the seven seas was a clever handwave for the diversity injection. I also liked how Eric was no longer just a pretty face but he and Arielle shared a common curiosity and passion for exploration. I mean it's still a pretty shaky story but it's also definitely an upgrade.

I recently joined in on the MCU Crew's watch-along for Iron Man 3. It was marginally better than I remembered but I still have issues with the one reveal, all the fake out deaths, as well as the entirety of the final action scene.

Midnight Special with Michael Shannon, it was very enjoyable.

Ator 2 - the invincible. It's complete garbage but that was to be expected as it was an episode of Schlefaz so it was a shit movie but a fun watch!
