Watched the new ant man and i honestly thought it was a lot better than the reviews gave it credit for. The cg was pretty bad though.

Love and Basketball. A good movie, but has a bit of 2000s baggage. There aren't any good dad role models in that movie

Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes. I loved it!

Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2. Before watching it I was sceptical of its immaculate reputation among those who enjoy bad movies, but I am happy to report that it did not disappoint in the least.

Watching the Tanya the Evil movie. Enjoying it so far, especially the jokes about the communists.

The Covenant and Trial by Fire

Both were good.

I rrwatched for like the 10th time Star Wars in order, got to a New Hope so far. It just reminded me of how good the core story writing for Lucas was even if the dialog can be clunky at times. Luke really reminded me of padma's strong believes in goodness and anakin's raw power potential. It made me appreciate the prequels more and I am so excited for the empire strikes back and then capping star wars with return of the jedi.

Pusher 3, completing Nicolas Refn's trilogy. All three films were great and I can't believe I'd never heard of them until recently. Each provides a kind of day in the life perspective of someone involved in the Danish drug trade (circa '96-'05). Kim Bodnia, Mads Mikkelsen, and Zlatko Buric...great films!

Just finished Blue Velvet. Very David Lynch. I think I may have changed a few things; Jeffrey should have picked up the knife Dorothy dropped, for instance. You could see some of the influence on later works like Lost Highway and Twin Peaks. I went in with no idea what I was going to see, and as might be expected it was twisted.

Nefarious.

It was definitely a nice twist on your typical demonic possession film, but I expect given that it's basically an hour and a half of two men talking it wouldn't go down well with your typical horror audience.

Could have done with a bit more mystery and a bit less telegraphing what was going to happen, but it was still an enjoyable time and the lead actor was great.

Recommend for anyone who likes their horror to lean closer to psychological thriller territory than the low-effort "just fill it full of screech noises and jump scares" fare.

The DnD movie and it was great! Jarnathan ๐Ÿ™„

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think the first Spiderverse movie, if I remember correctly. It was great, it set a new standard for animation in general.

Saw Elemental on Friday. Wasn't bad. Nice message. I didn't catch the whole controversy about pronouns though. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Dino Dana: The Movie. It was about what I expected. Fun for the kids and not bad for adults either.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I didn't know that was a thing. I'll have to find that one and give it a go

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The Banshees Of Inisherin.

It was like finding razorblades if you are in a really razorblade-y kinda mood.

27th May - Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.

It was alright, good film you can put on and zone out to. I wasn't actively watching it out was in the background while I was visiting family.

I know when and what it was cause I keep a list of every film I watch, the day I watched it, and if it's the first time I've seen it. The last new film I've seen was Rio 2, same date and same occasion.

Have been doing this for many years and thought I'd lost a couple years of data when Google decided to update the notes app and all my archived lists vanished, but I retrieved a backup (luckily)

The new Flash movie. I really like it, seemed pretty well-thought-out, had some pretty funny bits, and lots of nostalgia. The CGI was a big meh, some parts good, some parts just too cheesy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Saw Asteroid City last night. Liked it a lot but it's not my favorite Wes Anderson movie. It is, thought, the most Wes Anderson movie imaginable.

Saw a movie at the museum about some projects Jane Goodell knows of that keeps her optimistic about the state of the world and the ecosystem. Really uplifting and motivating, made me want to start volunteering and trying to make a difference
