I watched Tokyo Drift and Fast X back to back. Finished Tokyo Drift and loved it, felt like an actual movie with 3 acts. I made it a bit over an hour into Fast X before quitting, I honestly don’t know what I was expecting after the 9th one.
Underwater. 2020 horror movie that takes place - you guessed it - underwater. It wasn’t bad, just kinda mediocre. It was pretty action packed, and the effects weren’t bad, but I never really felt for any of the characters, and I thought the monster(s) were underdeveloped and poorly utilized. Still, not a bad way to waste an hour-and-a-half.
Same movie for me and same impression too. Not sure if the monster’s were even necessary. Also it had more of a “run away from the explosion” vibe than a “oh this uboat is about to implode” vibe. But I can confirm it is ok-ish.
Edit: That’s crazy. I’ve looked at your profile since I thought it’s a funny coincidence. I’ve also lived in South Korea for a while and I’ve also used Pop OS in the past. Really interesting. May I ask what you are doing in Jeju-Do?
My wife and I run a small English school here. It’s a nice place, but I do really miss Canada sometimes.
I don’t know what Pop OS is though.
Interesting! Hope your school goes well. Pop OS is an operating system. I guess it was just a coincidence you commented there.
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.
I watched Despicable Me with the kids recently - for the very first time - and was pleasantly surprised. It was actually good fun!
The platform (2019) https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_platform
Its worth a watch if you like movies where people have to survive in crazy games like Cube, Squid game, Circle or similar.
Hm, I love the Platform, watched it twice, but I really wouldn’t place it in the category of Cube or Squid Game. They aren’t playing a game. It’s much more similar to Snowpiercer.
My girlfriend and I recently decided to watch every Arnold Schwarzenegger movie in order. We saw Hercules in New York this weekend. It was pretty amusing. They clearly shot all the mt Olympus scenes in central park because you can hear the traffic in the background and the occasional crying baby or what not.
Arnold is always a great choice. Commando has been one of my favorite films since it first came out on tape. Not an award-winning movie by any means, but it’s sure fun to watch.
Donnie Darko. It was cool tho I had to ask my partner to explain what happened at the ending lol
This is legitimately one of my fave movies of all time
Was it the Director’s Cut version? When the movie came out, a lot of arguably necessary content was accessible on the website. A few years later the DC version added title cards to provide some of the additional content you couldn’t go online to find anymore. One of my favorite moves.
Ye it was the DC. My partner’d seen it before and I asked her if I should do the DC or not. She sorta shrugged her shoulders and was like “I guess probably?”
I rewatched for the third time what we do in the shadows (2014), I love the quirky humor and the mockumentary type of filming
Turbo kid. It’s a gory mess covered in 80s nostalgia.
I really enjoyed this one!
Everything Everywhere All At Once (for the second time) and it’s even better the second time.
I feel bad because I just couldn’t get into this. I’ve seen all the praise but I just don’t think it’s for me.
undefined> Everything
Watching a second time helped. It’s a movie that throws a lot at you all at once and then sort of grabs you by the neck and drags you along. But I liked that. And of course, everything isn’t for everyone all of the time. Plenty of fish in the sea.
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-Verse
I 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.
12 angry men. The 1957 version. It was an amazing watch and I can definitely see why it’s one of the highest rated movies of all times.
Not sure whether I should watch the remake though. Not sure about some things that it decided to go with.
The Russian remake is different, and also awesome. 2007 film called “12”
Fucking masterpiece is what it is.
Spiderman: ATSV. It was so 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)
