Ask Lemmy

Orange County

Coming of age movie with Tom Hanks' kid, and Jack Black. Mediocre at best.

Damsel

Hell no

Gladiator. Hells yes!

Spaceballs. yeah

Longlegs If you like psycho horror it's fun. So yes :) Takes place during the last years of the satanic panic. Not necessarily my cup of tea but nicely made. Not as jump scary as expected, but still some jump scares, so be aware.

I watched but did not finish inglorious bastards because we had to take iur kitten to the vet.

However, I watched and finished District 9 and it was unequivically a banger. I can't reveal too much without spoilers so I will only say this. It primarily takes place in South Africa and the history of apartheid is important to its message.

I also watched Starship Troopers not to long ago and it was a banger too. The history of American imperialism is incredibly important fot this one.

Both of these are very relevant to world events at the moment and watching them now will only do you good

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 watched the running man with some friends last weekend. I'd say it's a solid meh. It's the first time I've actually seen Schwarzenegger in a movie, and I gotta say, I don't understand why he's so popular. He's a pretty terrible actor.

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.

Brother Bear 🐻

Ratatouille

It was pretty good. My son loved it. I recommend it for sure.

2036 Origin unknown. It was quite a good movie so, yes, I would recommend it.

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.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.

Warmly recommended to kids and adults alike. Fantastic style, cool action sequences, top-notch voice acting and cool story. It may seem derivative of Spiderman Into the Spider verse, but it's better in many respects.

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.

Nit exactly a movie, but I rewatched the first season of True Detective. It is a Masterpiece, IMHO.

Back to the future. It was my wife’s first time seeing it all the way through. Yes. Watch it. It’s funny, dumb, and a clever story. If you can get past some of the classic campiness from the 80s you won’t regret watching it. However, my wife could not get past the campiness and would probably recommend avoiding it.

Ford vs Ferrari last night. Yeah, I would recommend it.

Love Lies Bleeding, and yes, I’d recommend it.

Twisters - If you liked Twister, you will like this one, not entirely a remake, but pretty close.

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.
