Watching the Tanya the Evil movie. Enjoying it so far, especially the jokes about the communists.

Saw Elemental on Friday. Wasn't bad. Nice message. I didn't catch the whole controversy about pronouns though. 🤷‍♂️

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.

Ator 2 - the invincible. It's complete garbage but that was to be expected as it was an episode of Schlefaz so it was a shit movie but a fun watch!

The Covenant and Trial by Fire

Both were good.

Midnight Special with Michael Shannon, it was very enjoyable.

I recently joined in on the MCU Crew's watch-along for Iron Man 3. It was marginally better than I remembered but I still have issues with the one reveal, all the fake out deaths, as well as the entirety of the final action scene.

Pusher 3, completing Nicolas Refn's trilogy. All three films were great and I can't believe I'd never heard of them until recently. Each provides a kind of day in the life perspective of someone involved in the Danish drug trade (circa '96-'05). Kim Bodnia, Mads Mikkelsen, and Zlatko Buric...great films!

The DnD movie and it was great! Jarnathan 🙄

Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes. I loved it!

The Banshees Of Inisherin.

It was like finding razorblades if you are in a really razorblade-y kinda mood.

Arielle - not bad. Most of the songs were still great. Eric's standalone was incredibly weaksauce though. Triton's casting and makeup was fucking S Teir. I thought making all the daughters different races somewhat based on the seven seas was a clever handwave for the diversity injection. I also liked how Eric was no longer just a pretty face but he and Arielle shared a common curiosity and passion for exploration. I mean it's still a pretty shaky story but it's also definitely an upgrade.

27th May - Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.

It was alright, good film you can put on and zone out to. I wasn't actively watching it out was in the background while I was visiting family.

I know when and what it was cause I keep a list of every film I watch, the day I watched it, and if it's the first time I've seen it. The last new film I've seen was Rio 2, same date and same occasion.

Have been doing this for many years and thought I'd lost a couple years of data when Google decided to update the notes app and all my archived lists vanished, but I retrieved a backup (luckily)

Last I saw was Tàr 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.

The new Flash movie. I really like it, seemed pretty well-thought-out, had some pretty funny bits, and lots of nostalgia. The CGI was a big meh, some parts good, some parts just too cheesy.

I rrwatched for like the 10th time Star Wars in order, got to a New Hope so far. It just reminded me of how good the core story writing for Lucas was even if the dialog can be clunky at times. Luke really reminded me of padma's strong believes in goodness and anakin's raw power potential. It made me appreciate the prequels more and I am so excited for the empire strikes back and then capping star wars with return of the jedi.

Renfield! I loved it. It was a nice silly distraction from, y'know life. If you like horror comedies, like Cabin in the Woods or Tucker and Dale Vrs Evil I can't recommend Renfield enough.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, pretty good movie in the Harry Potter universe without all the school of magic theme.

Gravity. Meh...

It grinds my gears that the sole idea to create tension is the presence of stray ropes. And slinging objects. 🥱

I think the first Spiderverse movie, if I remember correctly. It was great, it set a new standard for animation in general.
