Good Time I liked it the end was pretty sad

12 angry men. The 1957 version. It was an amazing watch and I can definitely see why it's one of the highest rated movies of all times.

Not sure whether I should watch the remake though. Not sure about some things that it decided to go with.

Finally got around to watching Stalker last night! Partner and I both really loved it. Absolutely deserves the legacy it has, it explores so many philosophical and existential questions but still stays incredibly clear. Would recommend wholeheartedly if you're in the mood for a slow paced philosophical/psychological sci-fi.

Ant man

Fast X. It's gone off the rails.

I went into it expecting it to be over the top, with a weak story, crazy twists.. but holy shit.

Just watched Monsters, Inc. It's great, the ending is really sweet too. I miss old Pixar ;(

Avatar: The Way of Water

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

Decided to re-watch the hobbit trilogy to see if they were as bad as I remember them being. Whilst there were some scenes I thought were well done (Bilbo's conversation with smaug for example) the films just aren't good in the way the Lord of the Rings movies are. The LOTR movies feel properly epic and the hobbit movies just feel so "Hollywood" for lack of a better term. All the fight scenes are stupid with excessive cgi but the worst part I feel is the acrobatics of them all with characters leaping off scenery and twirling around whilst slicing up enemies. None of the battles feel "real" or realistic in the way they do in LOTR. The dialogue in the hobbit movies also suffers from what feels like Joss Whedon-esque script writing with tons of witty quips and "humorous" observations on the situation.

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

Transformers 1

To Leslie

Loved it. The lead actress was fantastic and it’s no surprise that she was nominated for an Academy Award.

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.

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.

Free Solo

Impressive what some people can handle.

Blackberry. It is awesome

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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)

Gravity. Meh...

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

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

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.

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.
