Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

It's an absolute delight and based on a true story. The first black ops team.

The crazy part, the absolutely crazy part, is that in the real life story, nobody got killed. You can see in the trailer they COMPLETELY changed that part. Nobody would believe it.

In a theater? Deadpool and Wolverine. Similar to other people here, I think objectively it was not good, but just a fun ride of fan service and cameos that was quite entertaining. I don’t know why I paid for 3d though: had to wear glasses but didn’t see any 3d effects.

At home? The Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies. Apparently I had never seen them and my teen insisted. I liked them. I don’t know why people criticize the actor: I’d criticize the writers. No one wants a moody emo self-centered Spider-Man. Toby McGuire does well partly because they wrote a more lighthearted playful Spider-Man for him, even in the face of apocalypse

Damsel

Hell no

Gladiator. Hells yes!

Spaceballs. yeah

Longlegs If you like psycho horror it's fun. So yes :) Takes place during the last years of the satanic panic. Not necessarily my cup of tea but nicely made. Not as jump scary as expected, but still some jump scares, so be aware.

Orange County

Coming of age movie with Tom Hanks' kid, and Jack Black. Mediocre at best.

Thelma

Indie movie about a grandma that gets scammed and fights back. Funny and cute. Really good if you like that stuff. Based on a true story.

My wife and I were staying in Bologna for 2 nights, and there was a big free open-air cinema on the largest public square that showed Italian film classics with English subtitles. We watched "La Dolce Vita" by Fellini on the first night and a satirical comedy called "Divorce Italian type" the second night. La dolce vita is great but not an easy watch since it deals with typical topics of early modernity in the 50s. It's kinda like the books from that time about existence and hedonism and the complexity of life. The other movie is about a guy who wants to murder his Wife so he can date his 16-year old cousin and is way funnier than the premise would suggest.

Alien Romulus; caught the second showing at a local theater today.

It's definitely one of the better Alien films; it's not as great as the first 2, definitely better than the 3rd though.

Brother Bear 🐻

Thor 1. i thought it was great. very shakespearian

Recently rewatched “What If” as background noise. I had never heard of it when I first watched it, and came away really enjoying it. A really good cast, and a quirky rom-com plot made it a fun watch.

The last kids movie: The Incredibles 2, great as always, and highly recommended along with the 1st. Very excited for the 3rd.

The last non-kids movie: The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. I recommend this to anyone who likes movies similar to The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Everyone in it does a great job and is interested that it is based on a true story, albeit embellished, but also the basis and inspiration for the James Bond books.

National Lampoon's Senior Trip.

I watched Jeremy Renner's wired auto complete interview on YouTube and he mentioned that was his first role. So I looked it up and it had 0% on rotten tomatoes. And I thought to myself, it can't be that bad.

It was pretty bad, maybe not 0% bad, but I found very few redeeming qualities.

I would not recommend.

Watched the Waterboy again.

Sad they don't make good comedy movies anymore. Would recommend it. Recently watched America Pie too. Quality film.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.

Warmly recommended to kids and adults alike. Fantastic style, cool action sequences, top-notch voice acting and cool story. It may seem derivative of Spiderman Into the Spider verse, but it's better in many respects.

How I Saved the President also known as The Undercover Kid. It‘s a 90s kd adventure move in which a preteen who can talk to animals is somehow way better than the Secret Service at their full-time jobs.

It‘s perfect for a Bad Movie Night.

Neon genesis evangelion : The end of Evagelion

. . .

Second time watching the whole series + ending, understood things better this time around however still have some questions. Third time will be the charm I am sure of it.

It's a great storie revolving around the hedgehog dilema, change within ourselfs, and escapism, hitting too close to home at times.

What upfront looks like a freaking cool mecha anime, which it is, hides a narrative so human it gives you chill by how real it is at times. Really recommended the movie + series.

I Saw the TV Glow

I wouldn't recommend it to cis people, but maybe to some trans folks.

Back to the future. It was my wife’s first time seeing it all the way through. Yes. Watch it. It’s funny, dumb, and a clever story. If you can get past some of the classic campiness from the 80s you won’t regret watching it. However, my wife could not get past the campiness and would probably recommend avoiding it.

Love Lies Bleeding, and yes, I’d recommend it.
