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 agree with you about Deadpool and Wolverine. The story was stupid but seeing Wolverine in the yellow suit in live action was worth it for me. I don't usually go for super hero/comedies but I was prepared for that going into this one so it didn't bother me much and a lot of the cameos were pretty cool.

Deadpool and wolverine. It was a pretty good movie.

[–] clark@midwest.social 3 points 11 months ago

Gladiator. Hells yes!

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.

Damsel

Hell no

My wife and I were staying in Bologna for 2 nights, and there was a big free open-air cinema on the largest public square that showed Italian film classics with English subtitles. We watched "La Dolce Vita" by Fellini on the first night and a satirical comedy called "Divorce Italian type" the second night. La dolce vita is great but not an easy watch since it deals with typical topics of early modernity in the 50s. It's kinda like the books from that time about existence and hedonism and the complexity of life. The other movie is about a guy who wants to murder his Wife so he can date his 16-year old cousin and is way funnier than the premise would suggest.

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.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Watch Running Man for Richard Dawson. If you know about his time as host of Family Feud, his character in this movie takes on a whole extra level!

Alien Romulus; caught the second showing at a local theater today.

It's definitely one of the better Alien films; it's not as great as the first 2, definitely better than the 3rd though.

Bone Tomahawk was alright. Kurt Russell played a solid frontier law man. There's a pretty spicy gore scene in there too.

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.

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.

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

[–] WhiteHairSuperSaiyan@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Ransack3@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] skoell13@feddit.org 2 points 11 months ago

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.

The Mask is sssssmokin'!

[–] funbreaker@kbin.earth 2 points 11 months ago

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.
