Love and Basketball. A good movie, but has a bit of 2000s baggage. There aren't any good dad role models in that movie

Dino Dana: The Movie. It was about what I expected. Fun for the kids and not bad for adults either.
I didn't know that was a thing. I'll have to find that one and give it a go
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!
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)
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.
Watched the new ant man and i honestly thought it was a lot better than the reviews gave it credit for. The cg was pretty bad though.
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!
Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes. I loved it!
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.
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.
The Covenant and Trial by Fire
Both were good.
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.
Just finished Blue Velvet. Very David Lynch. I think I may have changed a few things; Jeffrey should have picked up the knife Dorothy dropped, for instance. You could see some of the influence on later works like Lost Highway and Twin Peaks. I went in with no idea what I was going to see, and as might be expected it was twisted.
I think the first Spiderverse movie, if I remember correctly. It was great, it set a new standard for animation in general.
Midnight Special with Michael Shannon, it was very enjoyable.
Watching the Tanya the Evil movie. Enjoying it so far, especially the jokes about the communists.
The Little Mermaid (2023). It was mediocre. My main issue is its pacing -- it moved slooooooowly. Almost all of the underwater scenes were rather dark, as well, which took away some of the whimsy (I guess? Not sure what word is right here). Still, the pacing was the main negative.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, pretty good movie in the Harry Potter universe without all the school of magic theme.
Love this movie and all it's quirks.
The Godfather, it was great again. After The Offer TV series
