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.

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

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

Evil dead. It was entertaining.

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

To Leslie

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

Free Solo

Impressive what some people can handle.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Transformers 1

Spiderman: ATSV. It was so 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.

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.

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.

Heat....rewatched it for the nth time. One of the all time great crime movies.

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)

The Covenant and Trial by Fire

Both were good.

I think the first Spiderverse movie, if I remember correctly. It was great, it set a new standard for animation in general.

27th May - Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.

It was alright, good film you can put on and zone out to. I wasn't actively watching it out was in the background while I was visiting family.

I know when and what it was cause I keep a list of every film I watch, the day I watched it, and if it's the first time I've seen it. The last new film I've seen was Rio 2, same date and same occasion.

Have been doing this for many years and thought I'd lost a couple years of data when Google decided to update the notes app and all my archived lists vanished, but I retrieved a backup (luckily)

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.

Arielle - not bad. Most of the songs were still great. Eric's standalone was incredibly weaksauce though. Triton's casting and makeup was fucking S Teir. I thought making all the daughters different races somewhat based on the seven seas was a clever handwave for the diversity injection. I also liked how Eric was no longer just a pretty face but he and Arielle shared a common curiosity and passion for exploration. I mean it's still a pretty shaky story but it's also definitely an upgrade.

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!
