Spiderman: ATSV. It was so good.
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.
Avatar: The Way of Water
I liked it. Not much happens story wise but I love exploring the lore and stuff of Pandora.
Just watched Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, it was quite enjoyable.
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.
Everything Everywhere All At Once (for the second time) and it’s even better the second time.
I feel bad because I just couldn’t get into this. I’ve seen all the praise but I just don’t think it’s for me.
undefined> Everything
Watching a second time helped. It’s a movie that throws a lot at you all at once and then sort of grabs you by the neck and drags you along. But I liked that. And of course, everything isn’t for everyone all of the time. Plenty of fish in the sea.
Just watched Monsters, Inc. It’s great, the ending is really sweet too. I miss old Pixar ;(
The platform (2019) https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_platform
Its worth a watch if you like movies where people have to survive in crazy games like Cube, Squid game, Circle or similar.
Hm, I love the Platform, watched it twice, but I really wouldn’t place it in the category of Cube or Squid Game. They aren’t playing a game. It’s much more similar to Snowpiercer.
The Covenant and Trial by Fire
Both were good.
Last one I really liked was Valerian. Kind of a hokey sci-fi, but good story and engaging. I actually liked the lead characters a lot.
Last one I can’t believe I watched was John Wick 4. I mean I knew what it was going to be like. Was almost three hours long with thirty minutes of actual story, the rest just shooting and fighting, but I had to see it, just like the three before it.
One thing that was really cool about John Wick 4 is there’s a set of scenes where he’s driving a 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda. I had that exact car with all the performance options except the Hemi engine (had a 440 six pack engine). It’s by far the favorite of all cars I’ve owned. I found it in the mid 80’s wasting away in a garage and restored it. To this day I think I should have kept it, found a way to store it properly. The whole time I was thinking don’t you dare destroy that car, but it looks like they CG’d all the crashes. I’m sure the owner would never let them damage that priceless car.
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.
spoilers for Into + Across the Spider-Verse
I did get a new unexpected favourite character, and it was the movie’s version of Sp//dr Robot from the Peni Parker version of Spider-Man. Such a great robot design, and I was pretty gutted when it got destroyed in the final fight. Even moreso, I was spoiled on Across the Spider-Verse where they apparently used the comic book design which, ngl, disappointed me a bit. I’m apparently in the minority here but, eh whatever.
watched Renfield yesterday. was pleasantly surprised. nothing too deep and meaningful but quite entertaining.
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.
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.
Free Solo
Impressive what some people can handle.
