What's the last movie you've seen?

A week or two ago I watched Krull at home. It's a 1983 fantasy movie. Nothing spectacular but it was fun and it featured a much younger Liam Neeson in a supporting role.
 
In theatres: Encanto (its almost been a year holy crap)
At home: Hamilton (for like the millionth time lol)
 
the last movie i saw was bronson, which was surprisingly average. i was hoping for a better movie, but i didn't really find the story or characters very compelling or interesting. but tom hardy did good, at least!
 
I watched Elvis for the first time last week in the theatre. Honestly, that and Top Gun are the best movies that have come out this year so far, imo. The soundtrack (minus a few songs) is so well made and the covers of his songs were so good. I cried a few times, I will admit. It captured his life and all he went through so well.
 
i saw x: the man with the x-ray eyes, mostly because i seem to remember reading it was one of mark e. smith's favorite movies

it was alright. it felt like a the twilight zone episode made 30 minutes longer, which probably speaks more to how good the twilight zone was
 
Also just watched Hocus Pocus 2 - pleasantly surprised. My partner and I both went in with the initial thought of "I hope they don't pull a Space Jam 2," and they didn't. (y)

A few scenes/gags felt forced but overall it kept up with the charm of the first. A few genuinely funny moments as well such as when the Roomba vacuums one of the sisters used as a broom zoomed over to help clean up the salt barrier they were trapped in.
 
Hocus Pocus and Hocus Pocus 2. I hadn't seen the original (somehow) but I knew the second one just came out, so I decided to watch both. I really liked them both!
Is Hocus Pocus 2 any good? I’ve only ever seen the first one :)

Was Hocus Pocus 2 Good?
 
Also just watched the original Hocus Pocus the other day for the first time, I really enjoyed it and am unsure how I've gone this long without seeing it :) I'm looking forward to watching the 2nd one at some point
 
On Saturday, I started my month-long horror movie marathon throughout October that I do every year.

The first thing I watched was director Mario Bava's 1974 movie Lisa and the Devil. I didn't plan out what to start with, so just browsed the Shudder app and picked something. I've watched a number of other Mario Bava movies and have enjoyed them, so figured I'd give it a shot. Public opinion seemed mixed on it when I looked around the Internet before watching, some people seem to like it for visuals and such and others just don't care for it much. I'm more in the latter camp. Nothing about it really hooked me.

On Sunday, I watched director Roger Spottiswoode's 1980 slasher movie Terror Train, starring Jamie Lee Curtis, for the first time. Much better. Fun gimmick, nice costumes, I liked it.

Finally, earlier tonight I watched director Emilio Miraglia's 1972 giallo film The Red Queen Kills Seven Times, also for the first time. Pretty good.
 
The October horror movie marathon continues.

Tuesday's movie was Hatching, a Finnish body horror movie that came out earlier this year from director Hanna Bergholm. Saw mention of it from some folks I follow and they seemed to like it so I gave it a shot. Good movie.

Wednesday's movie was a rewatch of director John Carpenter's classic 1983 adaptation of Stephen King's Christine.

Thursday was a first time viewing, director Mark Rosman's 1982 slasher The House on Sorority Row. Another one of those things I just decided to pick from the Shudder catalog. It was all right. Some weak elements, but it was serviceable enough.

And that brings us to Friday/yesterday now. After hearing about the new Hellraiser reboot that just released on Hulu, and that it was apparently good, I decided to have a double feature day. First was a rewatch of Clive Barker's original Hellraiser from 1987, then I moved on to the 2022 reboot from director David Bruckner. I enjoyed it. The reboot does its own thing and, while I wasn't feeling it at first, I got into it as it kept going and I like it overall.
 
Today I watched the DC League of Super-Pets and I liked it more than I thought I would. All of the characters were fun and Ace's story even me cry.
