Just finished watching The Batman. I'm kind of apathetic to comic book movies as a general rule, and I'm especially burnt out on this generation of nonstop superhero movies. It's not that I don't like them, but I am not their core demographic. And given my history with DC's past films, I fully expected to hate this.
But while it was clunky in some places, poorly paced in other places, and overloaded with exposition, I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
I saw Beavis and Butt-head Do The Universe.If you've seen Beavis and Butt-head Do America then you've seen this before but this time it's in outer space.I still laughed my head off.
Today I watched the first Police Academy movie. I've seen plenty of clips from the series, but never watched any of the movies from beginning to end. It could never be remade today, but it was fun.
I watched Lightyear a couple of days ago.I liked the characters,the basic story and the animation but there seemed to be a lot of filler.There was a lot of that "We solved one problem but now since another character messed up we have another problem" stuff and it was rather repetitive.However,I think there's enough ingredients here for a decent movie series so hopefully the next one(if there's gonna be a next one)will be up to Pixar's usual standards.
It was a whole load of nothing in terms of storytelling and character development that was washed over with some fancy stunts to make the film more appealing especially for Ryan Gosling fans.
At home, I think it was Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It was a while ago but I don't really watch a lot movies, I prefer picking a series and turning it into my confort show for some time.
Oof, I haven't been to theatres since lockdown.. (。Ó﹏Ò。) I'm not exactly sure what the last movie I saw in theatres is.
At home, I recently watched that 2010 Russell Crowe movie– The Next Three Days. It was okay I guess!
I watched The Secret of Nimh last night for the first time in many years last night. Still quite a splendid film, absolutely one of--if not the best--film from Don Bluth. I quite like it.
And because I had just enough time to watch it before I had to wake up... before I had to wake up from not sleeping... er, ahem, anyway, since I had time, I also watched Philadelphia per recommendation from a friend. It has its share of problems, but it was a deeply emotional ride. Quite liked it.
My friend made me watch the original Top Gun from 1986.
I hated it SO much.
Somehow, I just knew that I had no interest in this movie...so I never watched it. She was like "You need to watch the classic so we can watch the new one"...and I was like "I don't want to watch either of them." She won in the end. But that was torture. Lol.
I just don't like Tom Cruise. His character in the movie was every bit as insufferable as I expected. The pace of the movie was slow. The music was repetitive. The story was almost non-existent. I didn't think the scenes with the actual jets were even that entertaining. It was such a chore to watch.
I saw Midnight Madness,a silly movie from 1980 about five teams of college aged kids that go on a kind of scavenger hunt called The Great Allnighter.The very first time I saw it I thought it was going to be one of those typical stupid 80's teen movies but it's actually pretty funny....and only a bit stupid.The cast features some actors that were fairly well known at the time and some that would go on to be famous.That is a very young Michael J. Fox on the DVD cover.David Naughton would go on to make An American Werewolf In London and Stephen Furst had been in Animal House a couple of years earlier and would star in the sci-fi series Babylon 5 years later.
