I watched Despicable Me with the kids recently - for the very first time - and was pleasantly surprised. It was actually good fun!

watched Renfield yesterday. was pleasantly surprised. nothing too deep and meaningful but quite entertaining.

Ant man

I rewatched for the third time what we do in the shadows (2014), I love the quirky humor and the mockumentary type of filming

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.

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.

Just finished "smoking causes coughing" which is a weird french movie that goes in weird directions. I don't know whether there's a term for gore comedy? This is that in places

Blackberry. It is awesome

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.

Flesh Gordon.

No that isn't a typo.

Yes it is exactly what you think.

Yes it is hilariously bad.

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.

Last I saw was Tàr in the cinemas when it came out. I liked it, not a lot, but I liked it and defended it against my partner who didn't think much of it.

But I haven't had a film fade away in my mind as much as this, where I went from liking it, to kind of forgetting it and eventually criticising it, just passively as my mind mulled over the film.

When it came time for the Oscars I accurately predicted it wasn't going to win anything because I suspected I wasn't alone in this feeling ... that others would eventually feel like maybe it was just technically good and not actually about much.

The Bad Guys (animated kids film) with my kids for any the 6th time I think. Still pretty good.

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.

Clueless. It's one of the few films I can actually sit and watch all the way through at home. Witty, campy 90s fun. The fact it's actually an adaptation of Emma by Jane Austen is the icing on the cake.

Free Solo

Impressive what some people can handle.

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.

Just finished Blue Velvet. Very David Lynch. I think I may have changed a few things; Jeffrey should have picked up the knife Dorothy dropped, for instance. You could see some of the influence on later works like Lost Highway and Twin Peaks. I went in with no idea what I was going to see, and as might be expected it was twisted.

Everything Everywhere All At Once (for the second time) and it's even better the second time.

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.

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.

Midnight Special with Michael Shannon, it was very enjoyable.

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)

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.

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.

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

The Covenant and Trial by Fire

Both were good.
