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.
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.
Donnie Darko. It was cool tho I had to ask my partner to explain what happened at the ending lol
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 watched Despicable Me with the kids recently - for the very first time - and was pleasantly surprised. It was actually good fun!
Heat…rewatched it for the nth time. One of the all time great crime movies.
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.
Turbo kid. It’s a gory mess covered in 80s nostalgia.
I really enjoyed this one!
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)
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.
I rewatched for the third time what we do in the shadows (2014), I love the quirky humor and the mockumentary type of filming
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.
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.
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.
watched Renfield yesterday. was pleasantly surprised. nothing too deep and meaningful but quite entertaining.
Midnight Special with Michael Shannon, it was very enjoyable.
