What's the last movie you've seen?

Last night in the movies I saw Dilili ? Paris or Dilili in Paris! I'm such a big sucker for niche art films lol. It's a french animation by the same director of Kirikou and the Sorceress if anyone heard of that. Aaaaa it was so cute though?? It takes place in the Belle ?poque and the characters meet a lot of famous people, Marie Curie, Santos Dumont, Rodin, Picasso, Matisse... so colorful and pretty too.
 
I'm watching little bits of movies on Netflix in the morning, during my workouts. So I only watch them in 40 minute increments haha. Right now I'm watching Ant-Man & the Wasp, which is a lot better than I thought it would be! I kind of laughed when I put it on, because I never saw the first one - and the first one wasn't on Netflix. But luckily they do a lot of summarizing in this movie :p
 
I finished "The Stanford Prison Experiment" after watching it for several days. It's definitely a pretty disturbing film but I liked it, it was a good movie for sure.
 
I don't really bother going to movie theaters. I don't even see 1 most years. But I went to see Parasite today. I really enjoyed it. It was an interesting movie, but it also felt refreshing. So many Hollywood movies feel predictable. Parasite wasn't. Not at all. I wish more foreign movies made it into US movie theaters.
 
The last movie I've watched is the horror Midsommar, my first rewatch of the movie. It has become one of my favorites.
 
The movie I watched most recently was Stanley Kubrick's 1980 classic The Shining. Despite knowing about it since I was a kid and already being familiar with some of its most famous scenes (Come play with us, Here's Johnny!, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, etc.) it's a movie that I had never really taken the time to sit down and watch until a couple weeks ago when I watched it. I found it to be all right, but even without having read the book, I can see why Stephen King, the author of the novel the movie was based on, didn't care for the movie. The characterization felt lacking. I'm interested in reading the book and seeing how I like that though.
 
I rarely have the attention span for movies so I watch like... 2 or 3 a year... the last one I saw was probably El Camino, the Breaking Bad movie, which I had to see the second it came out on Netflix because of how much I loved Breaking Bad (and Better Call Saul!).

It was honestly exactly what I wanted from this movie; it really just felt like roughly two BB episodes fused together, with the movie tier budget (which I have to assume was higher than just two regular episodes of BB) being used smartly to make cool stuff like some of the shots in the break-in sequence (remember that top-down? that was cool!) and not spent on extravagant effects and stuff that would've made it feel like it didn't belong together with the show.

Honestly it felt like Vince Gilligan and the crew knew exactly what they wanted to do with this movie and neither under-delivered or bit off more than they could chew. A perfect little epilogue that I doubt would feel complete to anyone who hasn't seen the show, but feels like the logical next step in the story.

Edit: There was one point in the movie where you're supposed to recognise some obscure character at the same time that Jesse recognises him, but I was just confused for the longest time, and I have to be honest, I've already forgotten who that was supposed to be. That was probably what felt like the weakest part to me, but it didn't take away much from anything.

I just managed to watch 3 movies within 24 hours! They are not related to each other in any way, but I just happened to have the energy to watch them.

The first one I watched was Zoolander. It is a ridiculous (in a good way) film that is probably best watched with other friends. I have friends, but they do not share my taste in movies, so it is a loner for me. As soon as I have people I can show it to, I will watch it again.

The second film is Face/Off, with John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. Also a ridiculous (in a good way) film that I would have enjoyed with or without friends. I enjoyed the action and the concept of taking one's face. I thoroughly enjoyed this film.

The third and last film of those 24 hours was the Avengers. I found it a very boring movie, just like all the other Marvel Cinematic Universe films. If they were not so popular, I would never have seen these films, but I am forcing myself to watch them. Everyone at my college is all over the MCU and I feel like an outsider for not having seen them. I will continue watching them, hoping they will be good. I have heard Infinity Wars is amazing, so I am hoping for that.
 
John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum was on Foxtel last night. I watched it again, even though I've got the movies.

Halle Berry: He shot my dog!!

John Wick: I get it..

Hereditary. It's the best horror has done recently.

It started off well, but the ending, o_O

Toni Collette doing what she was doing (I won't spoil it) at the end cracked me up.

The thing with the kid though. Horrific, and I can't bare that tongue clicking sound anymore. :(
 
My husband and I just finished watching Joker and Color Out of Space.

Both were good but COoS was craaazy. Such was to be expected though. :)
