The Incredibles, still my favourite movie. I guess you could say it's...

Angry Birds
this may be the raunchiest kids film that's also an accidental metaphor for the European Migrant Crisis that i have ever seen

Toy Story 2

It (2017)

Ok, that was pretty good. As someone who isn't that big into horror, that was thoroughly pretty entertaining. I really loved It's visuals. They were honestly my favorite part of the movie. I know it's a bit pointless to say seeing as how every film looks good now, but I think It's visuals are it's strongest point. The CG creature effects and some of the camerawork done were done so beautifully. It's probably one of the most impressive looking horror films you will ever see.

The kids were also pretty good too. My boi Finn Wolfhard was a great comic relief. I could see where some people could find his character annoying because a lot of jokes surrounding him revolve around him being foul mouthed and rude. I loved him, though. The rest of the cast did great too. I think they did quite a fine job at giving everyone equal development (despite some being less interesting than others inherently). The child actors did a great job.

Oh yeah, and Pennywise was cool as hell, honestly. Not too goofy, but not overly serious. I bought him as a legitimate threat and I loved every moment he was on screen. I think that Pennywise himself wasn't as interesting or creepy as some of the other stuff he specifically did to **** with the kids, but I still liked him.

In terms of stuff I didn't like...

Man, the jumpscares could get stupid and annoying. They were too frequent for my liking. It makes sense as to why they're there in terms of the story, but I really didn't care for the over reliance of it. That and it was overly long. I don't know why it was this long, tbh. I feel like there was room to cut some stuff and make it shorter. Also, I hate stereotypical bullies in anything so seeing that trope get recycled was pretty eye-rolling. I never read the novel, so I don't know if those bully characters were also in there, but I've just seen so many movies and shows use that archetype way too much... it's annoying to say the least.

All in all, a solid horror flick! I would recommend seeing It, despite it's flaws. 8/10

E.T.: The Extraterrestrial

The Incredible Hulk

I think Edward Norton did a good job, it's shame people have to compare him to the other actors.

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie

Final Destination series.
Well, to be honest, I only saw a clip, coupled with Spongebob music under an "I put spongebob music over" meme.

It's quite a compilation of unfortunate death. At first I thought "Hmm, this series is kind of interesting", but looking closer at them, I realize how stupid such scenarios were in terms of death to the point where it's completely unrealistic. You had to be extremely unlucky, like, 99.9999999% unlucky to consider dying over Rube Goldberg contraptions. It's no wonder Rotten Tomatoes rated this below satisfactory.

Wayne's World

Nothing special, but it's just stupidly funny.

The Big Mommas house trilogy (yes they made 3) and it felt like a full lobotomy. It was an experience so dreadful, that i forgot as to why I even chose to put myself through it. Like the first is awfull...but watchable awful. The second dosn’t even try, and the 3rd...well I will let the poster do the talking:

Captain Underpants-

This was surprisingly really freaking good. I had a lot of fun with this movie. Between this and Lego Batman, it seems like some kid's films are finally realizing that you don't have to dumb down the story or humor to appeal to their audience. To say that a film called Captain Underpants was actually quite funny shows that the writers actually care.

And, this goes without saying, the animation is absolutely GORGEOUS! Overall pretty solid.

8/10

Kingsman: The Golden Circle- Really good. Not as good as the first film, but still really solid. Great action, loved the characters and acting, and it looks fantastic. The story and dialogue kind of fall flat, and there is a bit of an overabundance of subplots and characters, but it's nonetheless a fun ride overall. 7/10.

Shutter Island,amazing

Marie Antoinette (2006) great film, wonderfully filmed and great soundtrack, yes it in unconventional but I luuhh it saaa much.

Then Elizabeth the Golden age...quite a silly film about my half sister were they just get all the actors to scream out lines whilst wearing magnificent over the top dresses. But hey gotta get that oscar that the first film never got x

Edit: Side note Elizabeth (1999) is a dreadfully dull film. Atleast Elizabeth the Golden age is fun.

Rango

Transformers: The Last Knight.

Two films squished into one and it shows. I think I need an exorcism.

Please tell me you watched it illegally

^Parents rented it. $5 is... too much for this movie. Honestly if someone offered me a free copy of this movie I'd consider it an assassination attempt.

(okay maybe I'm exaggerating just a tad but this movie was bad)

I'd prefer a reboot of the Transformers movie series, but if not, just... remove Michael Bay. It gets increasingly obvious he's got little to no interest in continuing this franchise.

Watched The Lion King, however I watched the old special edition version that added Morning Report and other changes. The original version is fantastic, of course, but I saw the special edition version first as a child and I was feeling nostalgic.

Cautiously optimistic for the remake.

I've also, on a different note, got some Godzilla movies lying around that I want to watch... Which is the better one to start with, Godzilla: King of the Monsters or the original Gojira? I'd like to watch both eventually but not sure which version to watch first. Any suggestions, everyone?

Edit: Should clarify, I watched an incomplete recording of Godzilla: King of the Monsters back in 2014, and watched several clips of Gojira the same year. I've yet to watch either in full.

I watched King Kong the original not long ago, an amazing film still need to watch Godzilla.

Gonna watch Mean Girls today as it is october 3rd...


Then I shall watch... a film to naughty to say by name lets just say it killed Elizabeth Berkleys acting career.

Wonder Woman

DAMN that was good

Dayum saw the explosion that was depressing...and reading the plot summery it dont get any better

Watching Beetlejuice on tv

Hugo. So perdy

Thor Ragnarok. Completely bonkers but great fun. I've seen it twice now (first last Tuesday when it opened in the UK. Second yesterday where I watched it in Dbox (moving chairs)).

The Phantom of the Opera (1989)
the musical version doesn't have a scene of erik grafting other people's skin onto his face so this is the superior version

The musical one is also awful.

Hocus Pocus.
It was on TV on Sunday and it's one of my all time favourite Halloween films.

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Didn't like it. There was some stuff I liked, but overall the bad outweighed what little good there was and my god, what a waste of Doomsday.

Can't really say much, since everything has already been said at this point.

Death on the Nile

Interesting murder mystery, the cast is a delight, Angela Lansbury, Bette Davis and Maggie Smith all in the same film? More of this please! And the costumes are so gooooddd

Bump time. Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Eeeh... An entire hour of fluff if you ask me, but I got the tickets for cheap and it's tons of fun. Cooler than the last one but it's got way more problems where it falters.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi- Initially blown away but now that I've had time to actually think about the movie I think it's fantastic. Enjoyed it just as much as The Force Awakens and I'm not sure which one I like better. This one is definitely more original and has a lot better moments than TFA, but TFA was definitely better paced. My only real issue with this one is that the movie can drag a lot, and a couple times TLJ just grinds to a screeching halt. Still though, I had a great time. Mark Hamill kills it as Luke Skywalker, Daisy Ridley is still great, Adam Driver is still great, Carrie Fisher has a fantastic sendoff in this film, all the characters are great and they're continuing to be my favorites in the franchise. Rian Johnson is probably the best director the franchise has had so far, it's no wonder he's getting his own trilogy to work on. Really excited to see where this new trilogy ends, because as someone who was never crazy about Star Wars before the sequel trilogy, this new trilogy continues to impress me personally. 9/10.

Also the theater experience itself was the best one I've had since seeing Godzilla back in 2014. Everyone was laughing, cheering, gasping, you name it.

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

One of the absolute best movies I've seen ever. For a casual movie guy who has sweet spot for Star Wars, that movie was a tremendous experience. I loved it.

Reveal Spoiler

Specifically three scenes are slowly becoming my favorites in any movie.

-The scene where Laura Dern's character lightspeeds into the First Order's fleet was jaw-dropping. The theater was amazed- there were gasps, woahs, and every shock reaction you could think of. It looked breathtaking and awesome at the same time, and kudos to Rian Johnson for making the decision to give that scene absolutely no audio at all and just let the moment sink in for a good 15 seconds.

-The entire scene with Yoda because not only was using a puppet amazing but I love the part where he just blows up the old Jedi texts with lightning as if he's going "Oh you think I'm dead and can't use the force **** YOU I AM THE FORCE"

-The scene where the entire First Order fires on Luke, and Luke steps out and just brushes his shoulder. I've never seen a crowd so loud in laughter, cheering, and applause. Damn that scene was awesome.

I'm not even a major Star Wars fan and this sounds completely worth watching. (My only experience is in the Clone Wars cartoon and an old ps1 ship-fighting game.)

Grease. Not much else to say, it was a fun, light-hearted watch.

I've technically watched Love, Simon if I've read Simon Vs the Homo-Sapiens Agenda right?

Teeth
if you are a male and you like sex don't watch this movie unless you want nightmares

Cars 3- A lot better than I expected. Better than the first film and miles(no pun intended) better than the second. 7/10.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets- Bad. Really could've been a cool movie but instead there's a lot of wooden performances and no real story. It's just a bunch of really creative ideas that are just mashed together with no real flow or purpose to them. 4/10.

The Disaster Artist- Phenomenal. One of the best movies of the year, if not the best. This movie does a really good job at making something as ridiculous as The Room seem really heartfelt and inspiring in a bizarre way. James Franco absolutely killed it as Tommy Wiseau and definitely deserves award consideration for this performance. 10/10.

Justice League. Don't feel strongly about it. It exists.

EDIT:

Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Wish I could say I enjoyed it, but I didn't.

Dirty Grandpa

The Last Jedi

Toy Story

Daddy’s Home - Stupid, but not as unbearably unfunny as I thought it’d be. Hannibal Burress was a pleasant surprise, at the very least. Still kinda annoying and made me cringe multiple times.

6/10

Hateful Eight - It’s a Quentin Tarintino film.

9/10

Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo: The 80’s need to be murdered. Oh my lord was this a ****ty movie! The costume design was just the absolute worst and the sheer amount of dance related padding made me want to shoot myself. That was... that was not good.

1/10

The original IT, and all IT did was make me laugh.

Watched Coco, and yeah, I really liked it, I may have a problem or two but everything else is a hit for me, fully recommended.

The Cloverfield Paradox- It's alright. Honestly a bit disappointed all things considered.



TL: DR- The movie is meh. It works fine as a thriller but the actual connection to Cloverfield is really disappointing and underutilized in the long run. 5/10.
