Last movie seen — Page 658

Just saw megalopolis, and it’s as terrible as they say…

Also, for some reason, they showed the trailer for the new venom movie TWICE at my screening.

I guess Megalopolis is growing on me now, since I’ve had more time to think it over.

Updated top 10 for the year:

1.Dune: Part Two

2.Alien: Romulus

3.Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

4.Inside Out 2

5.Civil War

6.Young Woman and the Sea

7.Deadpool & Wolverine

8.Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

9.Megalopolis (so bad that it’s good)

10.Drive-Away Dolls (so bad that it’s good)

I’m starting to have second thoughts about Megalopolis again. I think I’m gonna take it off my Top 10 for the year, and put Kung Fu Panda 4 back.

The film The Wild Robot is a story of found family and learning how to adapt even if you don’t think you’re prepared.

the guy who plays nuclear man is like carboard and ridiculous.

Out of everyone in the cast, he’s the one who emotes the strongest, so I fail to see where “cardboard” factors into the equation.

Not really a movie, but I just watched the new South Park special “The End of Obesity” and really enjoyed it.

Updated Top 10 for the year (I think this is how it’s gonna stay now):

1.Dune: Part Two
2.Alien: Romulus
3.Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
4.Inside Out 2
5.Civil War
6.Young Woman and the Sea
7.South Park: The End of Obesity
8.Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
9.Drive-Away Dolls
10.Megalopolis (so bad that it’s good)

I purposefully omitted superhero films this time. Getting sick of superheroes.

The film Joker Folie Á Deux is a fantastic sequel to the original, a masterpiece that brings unexpected surprises and ideas.

Why do I have a feeling JackNapier‘s posts in this fourm was written with an AI?

That’s a wild take and a serious accusation and completely off topic.

The film Super/Man The Christopher Reeve Story is a heartening look into the life of a great man! A must see!

The film Sound of Freedom is an important look into human trafficking and child sexual slavery. Especially important in the wake of current politicians who have profited from it having gained office.

The film Here is an emotional rollercoaster that depicts the meanings of how time and love have no bounds.

The film The Fred Clause is an underrated and unexpectedly good movie, definitely worth a watch.

The movie Moana 2 is a mediocre offering that is outpaced by both its visuals and music. It also breaks any potential future narrative conflict by quite literally deifying a major character. Aside from these notes it is a solid movie.

The first part of the movie adaptation of Wicked serves its source well! A must see and a brilliant condemnation of bigotry, scapegoating, racism, bullying, misogyny, and the lies we tell to gain power!

The Lord of The Rings War Of The Rohirrim is a well done adaptation of the original short story by J.R.R. Tolkien. Though it did not capture the magic of the previous offerings, I still recommend it for fans of both the books and movies if only for the return albeit posthumously of an old favorite.

The Chernobyl mini-series (2019) is a shockingly powerful and deeply disturbing real look at the actual truth of the disaster. Everything about it was both well-crafted and respectful to the real people who were involved. The sound design was stunning, as were the visuals and the sheer haunting awe of it all. A must see for fans of history, biopics, audiovisual terror, and for those select few that have a strong stomach. I highly recommend it, but with a caveat that you only watch it if you are certain that its right for you.

My co-worker’s wife is from Russia and lived there when the disaster happened. She said that out of all the Chernobyl-related things she has watched, the 2019 miniseries is by far the closest to the actual events that happened and the atmosphere of the country and people that lived there at the time.
