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

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

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!

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)

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes. I loved it!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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

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

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.

Midnight Special with Michael Shannon, it was very enjoyable.

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

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

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

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

Gravity. Meh...

It grinds my gears that the sole idea to create tension is the presence of stray ropes. And slinging objects. ๐Ÿฅฑ

The Little Mermaid (2023). It was mediocre. My main issue is its pacing -- it moved slooooooowly. Almost all of the underwater scenes were rather dark, as well, which took away some of the whimsy (I guess? Not sure what word is right here). Still, the pacing was the main negative.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, pretty good movie in the Harry Potter universe without all the school of magic theme.

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

Love this movie and all it's quirks.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A horror movie called X. The first half was good, the second half was more funny than creepy. But I'll watch the prequel Pearl anyway.
