There's a sequel. Blues Brothers 2000. It's not even close story wise, but the music is just as good. John Goodman is a great singer. Worth a watch.
Yeah I noticed that upon checking out Wikipedia article I linked above. Not really the same though without Belushi...
Donnie Darko. It was cool tho I had to ask my partner to explain what happened at the ending lol
Was it the Director's Cut version? When the movie came out, a lot of arguably necessary content was accessible on the website. A few years later the DC version added title cards to provide some of the additional content you couldn't go online to find anymore. One of my favorite moves.
Ye it was the DC. My partner'd seen it before and I asked her if I should do the DC or not. She sorta shrugged her shoulders and was like "I guess probably?"
John wick surprised me in being an actual good movie. No brains whatsoever but nice action.
I just watched it too. Really enjoyed it over the second and third.
I felt they did a better job of setting the mood and scene than the previous ones.
Are you talking about the first one or the 4th? After I watched the third I gave up on the franchise, it was so bloody awful in every way. The first one was a good film and it had been going downhill since
The latest Dungeons and Dragons film. I've never played the game and know nothing of the lore but found it to be pretty enjoyable.
Agreed. I've only gone to the movies twice in the last 2-3 years and I am soo very glad I managed to drag the wife out for spiderman.
It was fantastic. Recency bias completely but I really do think it's better than the first.
The Banshee of Inisherin, I really enjoyed it. Very odd and funny in an uncomfortable, uneasy way. I especially enjoyed Kerry Condon as Siobhán, her performance was a great emotional counter point to the dead pan comedy between Colm and Pádraic.
Spiderman ATSV
It was fuckin incredible, this trilogy is going to be one of those once in a lifetime trilogies, like the Matrix Trilogy or the Dark Knight Trilogy, you mark my words.
Can't wait for BTSV
Just saw this in the theater with my kids. I didn't know going in that they were setting up for a third one, so was kind of bummed when (mild spoilers) they left things unresolved at the end. Still an amazing movie.
Mulholland Drive
A strange masterpiece and artwork. Been thinking about it for a few days now.
I re-watched it recently after a number of years and was surprised at how more I liked it despite knowing the story (whatever it means) and how "weird it gets". Lynch has become one of my all time favs, especially after watching Twin Peaks recently and then Twin Peaks Season 3!!
Yea, I haven't seen Lynch's 90s works and been meaning to for a while!!
Also haven't seen Inland Empire!!
Network (1976).
A prescient film that is just as relevant today as it was almost 50 years ago. A little monologue-y at times, but that's just the style.
Across the Spiderverse. I really like Mile's story... But I was a little disappointed by how slow paced the story seemed to be imo. Nothing got resolved. The whole movie was a lead up for the ending. Really disappointed with how the studio overworked artists (although that's par for the course these days) and how shitty the audio was before they finally fixed it. Music didn't live up to the first movie. The first movie has music that works great as stand-alone songs, but the second movie's soundtrack just sounds like a soundtrack.
I still enjoyed it though. I'd give the first movie a 9/10 and the second a 7/10.
Asteroid City. It was... more meta than expected. Not so much breaking the forth wall as featuring the forth wall!
"check out this cool wall guys. Guys? Guys? GUYS! CHECK OUT THIS COOL WALL.
CHECK OUT THIS COOL WALL I FOUND GUYS"
My dad had on Starship Troopers earlier and it was definitely much scarier to me a decade ago. I cannot say it's the best sci-fi film I've ever seen, but it's pretty decent.
It's a pretty smart film in the context of when it was made and the political situation in the U.S. I remember when it was released a lot of people were pissed at it, it performed pretty poorly.
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.
Hm, I love the Platform, watched it twice, but I really wouldn't place it in the category of Cube or Squid Game. They aren't playing a game. It's much more similar to Snowpiercer.
I watched Tokyo Drift and Fast X back to back. Finished Tokyo Drift and loved it, felt like an actual movie with 3 acts. I made it a bit over an hour into Fast X before quitting, I honestly don't know what I was expecting after the 9th one.
My girlfriend and I recently decided to watch every Arnold Schwarzenegger movie in order. We saw Hercules in New York this weekend. It was pretty amusing. They clearly shot all the mt Olympus scenes in central park because you can hear the traffic in the background and the occasional crying baby or what not.
Arnold is always a great choice. Commando has been one of my favorite films since it first came out on tape. Not an award-winning movie by any means, but it's sure fun to watch.
Barbarian
Sadly it does not stick the landing but everything up to that point is great. Love how it plays with the fact that the audience already expects Bill Skarsgård to be creepy.
