What's the last movie you've seen?

Charlies Angels: Full Throttle... a classic action film with great fight scenes but I'd forgotten how terribly fake the getaway action scenes were. 🙈
 
Not a movie but a documentary - just watching The Bleeding Edge on Netflix. Talks about medical devices that are FDA approved and the lack of regulation. I’m actually astounded that this is allowed to happen! The medical industry makes 300 billion a year so I suppose I’m not entirely shocked to see how far people will go to make a profit.
 
not a movie but a series on disney plus. i watched all the episodes of falcon and the winter soldier over a 2 day span. i love it and i can’t wait for the next episode to drop
 
i watched the dawn wall on netflix, it was very good. i also watched mary and the witch's flower, it left me feeling happy and content!!
 
On Friday, a few friends and I watched the new 2021 Mortal Kombat movie. It was a real mixed bag experience. There was cool action and gore that you'd want from a Mortal Kombat product, and some of the dialogue was humorous, particularly from Kano. Unfortunately there were aspects I wasn't really fond of, and aside from those two things I liked, there were a lot of other things I didn't like. I found the addition of a no-name (well, he has a name, Cole Young) protagonist created specifically for the movie, when you have plenty of existing characters to use from the series, was disappointing. I didn't really like the
arcana
aspect and I found the concept of characters having
a dragon mark that appears on the body to signify them as a chosen kombatant, which can be acquired by killing someone with said mark and which grant whoever has the mark with supernatural powers
to be...really cheesy and dumb. Also, as someone who prefers that movie adaptations of existing properties be as faithful to the source material as possible, I didn't really like the creative liberties taken with changing character backgrounds, designs, and overall plot details. This especially bothered me with regards to Kano not having his most defining physical feature, his metal-plated cybernetic eye, but there were tons of other things changed from the games that bugged me too. Especially
killing off Goro, who is supposed to be the reigning champion of the Mortal Kombat tournament, especially since there is no actual tournament featured in this film.

I found it to be an entertaining viewing experience because of the fights and whatnot, but aside from that, it's not really what I'd want out of a Mortal Kombat movie. Probably more palatable for people who don't really know or care about the series plot and who wouldn't be bothered by inconsistencies and/or the movie just doing its own thing.
 
Watched Nobody in the cinema over the weekend. I was greatly entertained! Bob Odenkirk was very satisfying to see in all his John Wick-like action scenes. Love the fight choreography. The soundtrack was fantastic. Very well used to add a touch of humour or irony. If they made a sequel or prequel, I'd be in line to watch. 👍
 
watched “malcolm & marie” about an hour ago! it’s the first movie that i’ve seen in quite a while and i enjoyed it!
 
At home: Akira, probably my favorite movie of all time. Ive seen it at least ten times

In theatres: Ford vs Ferrari: Really good, loved it
