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

Was it better or worse than the 5th time?
Still very watchable actually. The voice acting is spot on. And my kids still laugh at it which helps.
Dino Dana: The Movie. It was about what I expected. Fun for the kids and not bad for adults either.
I didn't know that was a thing. I'll have to find that one and give it a go
Pusher 3, completing Nicolas Refn's trilogy. All three films were great and I can't believe I'd never heard of them until recently. Each provides a kind of day in the life perspective of someone involved in the Danish drug trade (circa '96-'05). Kim Bodnia, Mads Mikkelsen, and Zlatko Buric...great films!
The Banshees Of Inisherin.
It was like finding razorblades if you are in a really razorblade-y kinda mood.
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)
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.
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.
Saw Elemental on Friday. Wasn't bad. Nice message. I didn't catch the whole controversy about pronouns though. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Midnight Special with Michael Shannon, it was very enjoyable.
Watching the Tanya the Evil movie. Enjoying it so far, especially the jokes about the communists.
The DnD movie and it was great! Jarnathan ๐
The Little Mermaid (2023). It was mediocre. My main issue is its pacing -- it moved slooooooowly. Almost all of the underwater scenes were rather dark, as well, which took away some of the whimsy (I guess? Not sure what word is right here). Still, the pacing was the main negative.
Nefarious.
It was definitely a nice twist on your typical demonic possession film, but I expect given that it's basically an hour and a half of two men talking it wouldn't go down well with your typical horror audience.
Could have done with a bit more mystery and a bit less telegraphing what was going to happen, but it was still an enjoyable time and the lead actor was great.
Recommend for anyone who likes their horror to lean closer to psychological thriller territory than the low-effort "just fill it full of screech noises and jump scares" fare.
Gravity. Meh...
It grinds my gears that the sole idea to create tension is the presence of stray ropes. And slinging objects. ๐ฅฑ
Saw Asteroid City last night. Liked it a lot but it's not my favorite Wes Anderson movie. It is, thought, the most Wes Anderson movie imaginable.
