Ronin
Good cast, solid, but the story isn't that interesting and I find car chases boring. 6/10

Hoodlum
Being a fan of Deep Cover, this felt a bit familiar, found out after watching they both have the same director and lead, makes sense.
I think it peters out at the end, cutting a 20 minutes of this would make it better. Fun with some goofy stuff in the first half. 6/10

Marlowe (2022)

Based on a series of novels, this time a private eye Philip Marlowe is being portrayed by Liam Neeson, as he investigates murder in Los Angeles in 1939. Quite boring murder mystery, most of the time is being spent on talking rather than solving crimes. The crime actually solves itself in this case. Not recommended.

Deep Rising

After the crew and passengers of a luxury liner in the South Seas are brutally murdered by a monster, a gang of jewel thieves finds themselves trapped on board.

90's B-movie with a decent cast, interesting enough plot & bad VFX.

• Treat Williams
• Famke Janssen
• Wes Studi
• Djimon Hounsou

"Now what"

It sets up a sequel but due to it's box office performance, that was scrapped.

Worth a watch if you like cheesy monster movies.

I especially like the jet ski scene where they get a really good run up me then scrub off most of their speed going around the corner so they're pointing in the right direction.

Below par. If this is what they are going with for the next Avengers squad then they are even more fucked than I thought.

2/5.

Good performances, nice production, intrigue rather uninteresting 6/10.

In the Land of Saints and Sinners

The civil unrest in North Ireland has been going on for a long time, although not much about it is reported anymore. Maybe there aren't that much such problems anymore. Anyway, this film takes place in the 70's where IRA were still active, armed and dangerous. The story tells of an old hitman, who wants to quit, but is forced into conflict because he kills an IRA member for hitting a little girl. The film is well made, and even surprising at some points. Well worth a watch.

The Bad Guys 2
Really good and great sequel to the excellent first one.

Happy Gilmore 2
Just rewatch the first one.
This is a memba-berry film that doesn't even try to stand on its own feet.

Jurassic Park

It has been a while, like 15 years since I last saw this movie. Of course I saw it many times as a kid. I had forgotten how good it was, it still holds up well today. The CGI is of course dated, but other than that I feel like this is one of those timeless movies that will work for a long time. Well, at least until they actually clone dinosaurs, and they look and sound nothing like they do in here.

How to Train Your Dragon (2025)
The animated version is one of my favorite theater experiences with my daughter. This one is basically a carbon copy of that, but I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. The cast is spot on aside from Astrid. She has no edge or presence whatsoever, which defined that character in the original. While I would pick the animated version, this was a good time and felt like a well done one of those AI videos where it is live action Simpsons or Harry Potter in Super Panavision. The dragons looked great!

 

[Escape Goat]

I watched The Incredible Shrinking Weekend and it was very good. Not just another timeloop movie but done in a fresh and poignant way.

Not excessive tbh (not by my standards anyway). But well done.

Was a great time, surprisingly funny in parts.

The trailer is nothing like the actual movie though.

I can't wait for 28 Years Later, Weapons and Together to come to streaming. I wasn't a fan of Barbarian but what I seen of Weapons makes me really interested. I'm going as spoiler free into that movie as possible. I do have a couple of theories on what's been happening in that movie though

28 years later is this week. I'll be all over it, seemed very divisive on release.

Was finally able to convince my kids to sit through the whole of Jurassic Park, and now they're fans.

Just came back from Fantastic 4. It was way better than I thought it would be. I'm happy that the pacing was a bit slower side compared to the last few MCU movies, not many action sequences compared to say Superman, but had a really great time. The kids and wife enjoyed their time too. Not sure how the post credit scene of Thunderbolts links to this movie though.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park

After watching the original classic, it's time to watch the sequel. Loosely based on the novel of the same name, Jeff Goldblom returns as Ian Malcolm, as he is tasked to venture into Ungen's test site, where dinosaurs roam free. Of course things don't go as planned, they never do. Technical advacements show, and CGI dinosaurs are more directly in contact with people. The sad thing is, the story is far more weak this time around, and the cast isn't as likeable. I have to say, these films have nice staying power, I was able to convince my girlfriend to watch these films, and she was so impressed she eants to read the books as well now.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Did you not like Bring Her Back?

I loved it but I haven't seen a great horror movie recently

 

[JimmyRustler]

Just finished watching The Brutalist.

Wow, Hollywood really has a grudge with Christianity, do they? Not only did Conclave get the Oscar for the best script but this one was also showered with Oscars and praise. Sure, the acting was stellar but the plot is all over the place. The ending though… I mean, come on? Really?

Spoiler

You got a rape accusation scene ending with a big portrayal of a cross and the in the epilogue we have a big cross on display while they talk about Dachau?

The imagery was pathetic. What is going on?

The movie itself was alright I guess. Too much pointless and cringy sex stuff. It starts to get too obvious that people running and participating in the Hollywood machinery mostly are twisted people that are on drugs way too often.

 

[Sardaukarama]

Had a Rambo night and I cannot fault First Blood, It is a masterpiece of a action movie imo.. the other movies though

 

[TheUnicornGuy]

Just watched a movie called Kunoichi on hi-dive, if you're looking for a period ninja film with a good story and stellar fight scenes, along with great acting and a well played out and satisfying ending then you'll have to look much farther than this. Absolute shite, 1/10.

 

[Dacvak]

I watched death of a unicorn in the background while working yesterday, and it was dumb. A few funny parts, especially with the "you guys are getting paid?" actor. But overall bad.

The CG is also ROUGH.

Lilo and Stitch 2002.

The water animation was really good. I also really liked the watercolour backgrounds.

This sounds like a highlight or is it some weird dungeon kink thing? What's cringe about it?

Happy Gilmore 2. It was fun to watch and they had some fun cameos. That is what the movie is a cameo fest. But the original is funny and amazing, this time the same jokes don't hit the same. 3/5 one time watch. multiple watches won't hold up,

Dangerous Creatures. - A kidnap and killer film. Pretty intense film, but not really my style. Overall 2/5

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

★★★★★ / Bed head redemption

 

[AJUMP23]

28 years later- 3/5 I don't really get the point or the ending of this movie. I just finished it and While the journey of the main character is interesting, and Ralph Fiens character is interesting, I do not know what the point of the film is. Overall unsatisfactory. It just needs to do something with everything it sets up. It never does.

The Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult

After a short break, bumbling detective Frank Drebin returns to save the innocent again. This time David Zucker remained as producer, and first timer Peter Segal took reins as director. Maybe this is the reason that the film has a different feel to it than the two previous films. It's not bad, but somehow the jokes feel off, and laughs aren't as repid-fire as before.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

- Sinners
Ok, too much symbolism, but great sets and customes. The last part though, where he is picking up that gun from the hole in the ground while 10 people were shooting at him from 4 yards away was too silly and ruined the ending for me.
6 out of 10.

- Bone Tomahawk
Western with hilariously weird cavemen bad guys.
5 out of 10.

- Some Kind of Monster
My favorite music documentary. Fascinating to watch Metallica being this petty and bitter.
9 out of 10.

- John Adams
I love this mini show. Watched it 4 times over the years, always enjoy it.
9 out of 10.

- Despicable Me
Wanted to watch something animated. I seen this before but forgot if I liked it or not. To my surprise, I like it.
7.5 out of 10

- Independece Day Resurgence
What a fuck.
2 out of 10

- Moonfall
What a fuck times 10.

- The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Great look, the sets and style is great. Galactus is great. Silver Surfer felt underused. Almost no fight scenes.

Sinners

Fun? Fact:
The costumes were made for Marvel's Blade, but since that movie didn't get the go ahead they sold them off.

Fantastic Four: First Steps - 9/10
Thankfully all the woke rumours were a lie.

Nosferatu - Stopped watching an hour in /10
Boring

Mountainhead - 6/10
Enjoyed it at first but it kept getting worse as it went along. I did watch it all though so it wasn't as bad as Nosferatu.

Jurassic Park III

I have watched this only once, roughly 10 years ago. I remembered almost nothing, and now I know why. This film is totally unnecessary and adds nothing new to the franchise. I don't know why Sam Neill agreed to return to this, but it was for nothing, really. It feels like they only made this to sell more toys, that kind of thought rarely makes a good film.
