Charlie Day's new movie Fools Paradise!

If you like always sunny you'll have a good time spotting cameos from like, everyone.

I really enjoyed the film, but my family wasn't digging it and I could definitely see why.

To Leslie

Loved it. The lead actress was fantastic and it’s no surprise that she was nominated for an Academy Award.

Repo! The Genetic Opera. It's a rock opera horror set in a dystopian future where organ repossession is a thing. I enjoyed it and might even add it to my background noise rotation.

I rewatched for the third time what we do in the shadows (2014), I love the quirky humor and the mockumentary type of filming

Flesh Gordon.

No that isn't a typo.

Yes it is exactly what you think.

Yes it is hilariously bad.

Ice Age 6(?) with my daughter watching on repeat. I couldn't help but immediately notice that the voice actors were discount versions of the original actors (no shade to them considering what they had to work with). 1/10 would highly recommend this masterpiece.

Shoplifters sweet, harsh, and with a nice reveal at the end. It was my second watch as I wanted to revisit it

Just finished "smoking causes coughing" which is a weird french movie that goes in weird directions. I don't know whether there's a term for gore comedy? This is that in places

I watched Django Unchained by Quentin Tarantino yesterday for the first time, after being in my list for so long.

Such a masterpiece. Lengthy, but it gives it enough room to have a nice pacing. Great photography and dialogue, of course. One of Tarantino's best, imo.

Clueless. It's one of the few films I can actually sit and watch all the way through at home. Witty, campy 90s fun. The fact it's actually an adaptation of Emma by Jane Austen is the icing on the cake.

Blackberry. It is awesome

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

Into the Spiderverse at cinema! It really really blew me away, the visuals, the music, the plot. Honestly an experience. One of the few movies I'd really recommend to watch on cinema (alongside the LOTR movies)

[–] sideways11@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

watched Renfield yesterday. was pleasantly surprised. nothing too deep and meaningful but quite entertaining.

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I watched Sick (2022), the story was about normal/average for a slash-horror, but the action scenes themselves were surprisingly well shot. It was written by the same writer of the original Scream movies.

Glorious - a film about a man's interaction with an other dimensional being he finds in a rest stop bathroom. Very weird, but refreshingly interesting. I didn't know what was going to happen next throughout the whole movie, which was is a change compared to most movies these days. I'd give it an 8/10 overall.

I watched 20 minutes of Moonfall. 20 minutes because it was full of cliches and cringe. Then I watched a YouTube video of Action Adventure Twins who explore deep, unsettling and claustrophobic caves. It was wayy better.

[–] chinpokomon@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Spiderman: ATSV. It was so good.

[–] koncertejo@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Just watched Greta Gerwig's Little Women, it was quite enjoyable.

[–] iliketurtles@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Heat....rewatched it for the nth time. One of the all time great crime movies.

[–] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 1 year ago

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Friends of mine were hyped for Across the Spider-Verse and that was my opportunity to go watch the first with them. If you're an animation nut, then yeah, this movie is brilliant for that. A very fun movie, definitely going to pick up the Blu-Ray when I pop to HMV in the future.

spoilers for Into + Across the Spider-VerseI did get a new unexpected favourite character, and it was the movie's version of Sp//dr Robot from the Peni Parker version of Spider-Man. Such a great robot design, and I was pretty gutted when it got destroyed in the final fight. Even moreso, I was spoiled on Across the Spider-Verse where they apparently used the comic book design which, ngl, disappointed me a bit. I'm apparently in the minority here but, eh whatever.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I've seen it before but watched it with friends, including one who had never seen it, after consuming edibles and had fun with it even though it's slow and cheesy.

[–] azron@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Free Solo

Impressive what some people can handle.

The last movie I watched was the latest Shazam movie. One of the kids picked it to watch during their birthday dinner. I know it didn't do well critically but I think it's a fun popcorn movie.

The day prior to that we saw Guardians of the Galaxy 3 in the theater (another birthday pick). A bit predictable (I'm honestly burned out on Marvel movies) but overall enjoyable and a comic book movie origin story that wasn't a retread (i.e. Spiderman, Batman, Superman) we've seen 100x before.

Everything Everywhere All At Once (for the second time) and it's even better the second time.

I just spent ten minutes attempting to remember. I did not remember but, whatever it was, it was "meh".

[–] moosh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The DnD movie and it was great! Jarnathan πŸ™„

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Last I saw was TΓ r in the cinemas when it came out. I liked it, not a lot, but I liked it and defended it against my partner who didn't think much of it.

But I haven't had a film fade away in my mind as much as this, where I went from liking it, to kind of forgetting it and eventually criticising it, just passively as my mind mulled over the film.

When it came time for the Oscars I accurately predicted it wasn't going to win anything because I suspected I wasn't alone in this feeling ... that others would eventually feel like maybe it was just technically good and not actually about much.

Weird - The weird Al Yancovic Movie

The Covenant and Trial by Fire

Both were good.

Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2. Before watching it I was sceptical of its immaculate reputation among those who enjoy bad movies, but I am happy to report that it did not disappoint in the least.
