I really don't know if I want to see another biopic. Especially of someone who's still alive.

Across the Spider-Verse is as close to a perfect movie experience as I've ever had. not even mad abt having to wait for the conclusion.
D&D movie—weird direction, clunky editing, casting an absolute mess... yet somehow very enjoyable. I have no idea why, but we really enjoyed it. Solid feelgood movie.
Black Adam—it was okay. Better than I expected! I like DC embracing magic but DC movies have such utterly abominable dialogue that it almost hurts. Glad I didn't see it at the movies.
Shazam—it was aight. Some really solid parts, some really garbage parts. Lucy Liu wasn't good in this at all, tragic waste. Zachary Levy is such a bad fit for this role. Mostly I just wanna know how they managed to make a movie abt a 6000yo woman getting it on with an emotionally damaged 17yo boy without anyone catching on.
Im Westen nichts neues.
Well made anti-war movie. Learned today that all sides engaged in attacks after the signing. For that there is literally no reason to give. More than 10.000 dead young men for no other reason than that their commanders couldn't deal with the fact that it was all over.
I saw Oppenheimer a few days ago. Great performances all around, great story. Enjoyed it very much. Recommend.
Red Rocket as the result of a random start on Skyshowtime. I really liked this one; a washed out porn actor comes back home after 17 years in L. A. and has a hard time building back his life. At times it felt like watching an unscripted show.
Nimona, its on netflix.
Its actually a lot of fun to watch.
Guardians of the Galaxy 3. On Disney+. Much more engaging than expected. Rockets backstory was heart wrenching.
The Flash. Shockingly well made. I think I even got why the CGI at times was a bit clunky.
Too old? :o
I suspect you never went to a cinema with children. The last time I did, I had to leave. Because one of them found the jungle animals in the PG movie I had taken them to too scary. On the way back home, another one of them fell asleep in the metro and somehow could not be awoken again.
FYI : Jungle Book
The Little mermaid. I have some problems with the movie, nonr of which have to do with 'race-switching'. For who was this movie made? There are no real stakes, no deeper motivations for what the main characters do. It feels disjointed and often illogical. Not to mention the fact that it's weirdly supportive of a system of production and trade that smacks of what we call colonialism in the real world AND that it super-imposes today's environmental issues on an 18th century - ish society. What is the take away there? Sail ships are bad for nature? How does Ariel's song after she gave away her voice make any sense? The list goes on and on. And then there's the little issue that the story is way too dark for most children. If I had any children the least I would do, is make certain of is that they don't watch this alone.
Blue Beetle. Surprisingly good for a DC movie. About on par with the first Wonder Woman movie. The third act was a CGI-fest and the villain had the same powers as the protagonist, but I guess these things are unavoidable at this point.
Recently I saw Godzilla Minus One and as a life long fan of the franchise I was blown away how good it was. Its not perfect, but no other Godzilla movie is remotely as good. Except maybe Shin Godzilla, and maybe the original - they are remotely as good. If you haven't seen it, I recommend.
Also, I watched Poor Things the other day and I really liked it. Aside from being blown away to see so much of Emma Stone, it was very funny and stylish, and the performances were terrific all around. I recommend.
Wait how many Godzilla movies are there :eek:
Don't bother with Saltburn, watch The talented Mr Ripley in stead.
Equalizer 3 is everything Johns Wick 2–4 should've been. Now my fave movie in the series
finally got around to watching The Marvels. TV-show esthetics & sensibilities notwithstanding, pretty good fun. they just need to fire the guy in charge of the cringe Disney show tie-ins
