Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
It's an absolute delight and based on a true story. The first black ops team.
Two books on it:

The crazy part, the absolutely crazy part, is that in the real life story, nobody got killed. You can see in the trailer they COMPLETELY changed that part. Nobody would believe it.
In a theater? Deadpool and Wolverine. Similar to other people here, I think objectively it was not good, but just a fun ride of fan service and cameos that was quite entertaining. I don’t know why I paid for 3d though: had to wear glasses but didn’t see any 3d effects.
At home? The Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies. Apparently I had never seen them and my teen insisted. I liked them. I don’t know why people criticize the actor: I’d criticize the writers. No one wants a moody emo self-centered Spider-Man. Toby McGuire does well partly because they wrote a more lighthearted playful Spider-Man for him, even in the face of apocalypse
I agree with you about Deadpool and Wolverine. The story was stupid but seeing Wolverine in the yellow suit in live action was worth it for me. I don't usually go for super hero/comedies but I was prepared for that going into this one so it didn't bother me much and a lot of the cameos were pretty cool.
Damsel
Hell no
Gladiator. Hells yes!
Spaceballs. yeah
Orange County
Coming of age movie with Tom Hanks' kid, and Jack Black. Mediocre at best.
Thelma
Indie movie about a grandma that gets scammed and fights back. Funny and cute. Really good if you like that stuff. Based on a true story.
My wife and I were staying in Bologna for 2 nights, and there was a big free open-air cinema on the largest public square that showed Italian film classics with English subtitles. We watched "La Dolce Vita" by Fellini on the first night and a satirical comedy called "Divorce Italian type" the second night. La dolce vita is great but not an easy watch since it deals with typical topics of early modernity in the 50s. It's kinda like the books from that time about existence and hedonism and the complexity of life. The other movie is about a guy who wants to murder his Wife so he can date his 16-year old cousin and is way funnier than the premise would suggest.
Alien Romulus; caught the second showing at a local theater today.
It's definitely one of the better Alien films; it's not as great as the first 2, definitely better than the 3rd though.
Brother Bear 🐻
Perfect Days 2023
Excellent movie, simple story showing his simple every day life. It goes through his life, doing what he likes, and shows stories that happens every day.
Twisters - If you liked Twister, you will like this one, not entirely a remake, but pretty close.
How I Saved the President also known as The Undercover Kid. It‘s a 90s kd adventure move in which a preteen who can talk to animals is somehow way better than the Secret Service at their full-time jobs.
It‘s perfect for a Bad Movie Night.
2036 Origin unknown. It was quite a good movie so, yes, I would recommend it.
More like a documentary: Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau it basically tells the story of how the movie The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996) was produced. Let's say a lot of weird stuff happened and I can really recommend the documentary.
The Mask is sssssmokin'!
At home: Knives Out In a cinema: Bad Boys 4
Thor 1. i thought it was great. very shakespearian
Watched the Waterboy again.
Sad they don't make good comedy movies anymore. Would recommend it. Recently watched America Pie too. Quality film.
The last kids movie: The Incredibles 2, great as always, and highly recommended along with the 1st. Very excited for the 3rd.
The last non-kids movie: The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. I recommend this to anyone who likes movies similar to The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Everyone in it does a great job and is interested that it is based on a true story, albeit embellished, but also the basis and inspiration for the James Bond books.
Nit exactly a movie, but I rewatched the first season of True Detective. It is a Masterpiece, IMHO.
National Lampoon's Senior Trip.
I watched Jeremy Renner's wired auto complete interview on YouTube and he mentioned that was his first role. So I looked it up and it had 0% on rotten tomatoes. And I thought to myself, it can't be that bad.
It was pretty bad, maybe not 0% bad, but I found very few redeeming qualities.
I would not recommend.
Neon genesis evangelion : The end of Evagelion
. . .
Second time watching the whole series + ending, understood things better this time around however still have some questions. Third time will be the charm I am sure of it.
It's a great storie revolving around the hedgehog dilema, change within ourselfs, and escapism, hitting too close to home at times.
What upfront looks like a freaking cool mecha anime, which it is, hides a narrative so human it gives you chill by how real it is at times. Really recommended the movie + series.
Recently rewatched “What If” as background noise. I had never heard of it when I first watched it, and came away really enjoying it. A really good cast, and a quirky rom-com plot made it a fun watch.
