Most Recent Movie You've Seen

Me_Wise_Magic

Recently watched Revenge of the Sith for its 20th anniversary which was a walk down memory lane. Also, I caught a screening of Clown in a Cornfield. Quite liked it overall. Though not nearly as good as the director's previous work, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.

I've watched a shit ton of new movies/seriesthe past few months...

The Astronaut - First half pretty good and keeps you in suspense....it then falls off a cliff with a ridiculous climax.

Nuremberg - Amazing. This should get a few Oscar noms.

The Long Walk - I literally waited like 35 years for this movie to happen. It was ok but they bastardized the ending just so a black guy can be the survivor.

The Monkey - Another Stephen King story I waited eons for. I hated it. The actors are unlikable and they don't take the story seriously.

Alien: Romulus - I'm officially done with the Alien franchise. Garbage acting and garbage story. There's just no point in continuing this saga whether in sequels or reboots.

The Senior - Amazing story....middle aged guy makes college football comeback. Thankfully they didn't fictionalize it too much.

Drop - I normally hate smartphones in any type of movie. Almost didn't watch it. It's different here because the whole story revolves around her getting texts while out on a first date. Definitely worth watching....once.

F1 The Movie - While it's just a generic run of the mill racing movie, I actually liked it. A bit too long though.

Green Room - Loved it. It's always weird seeing Patrick Stewart in anything not named Star Trek.

Presence - Wow. This deserves a Best Picture Oscar nom. This may be the most unique, original ghost film ever. We see everything from the ghosts POV...and it's nothing outlandish like most ghost/supernatural movies now.

Final Destination Bloodlines - The story doesn't even really matter...it's all about the crazy deaths throughout. They do a pretty good job with it.

Paterno - Pacino deserved an Emmy for this performance. He knocked it out of the park. I gotta watch this again.

When We Were Kings - Holy shit...this might be the greatest documentary ever. If not...it's certainly top 5. Just the spectacle surrounding the fight (Ali vs Foreman) sends chills down your spine. It's also a reminder of how far boxing has fallen in relevance.

Man....Ali was really something else. There'll never be another.

The Luckiest Man In America - Crazy it took 40 years for someone to make a film for this story. It's about the Press Your Luck scandal.

It's amazing but the thing I worried about going into it wound up happening....they don't show us how his life completely unravels after he wins all that money. The film focuses on the game show itself.

The Apprentice - If the world hadn't been turned into a dystopic Trump world, this probably wins shit tons of awards. It's really something else. Love the 70s vibe they got for this.

The Yogurt Shop Murders - The greatest documentary on the case ever. It deserves awards. Its too bad they couldn't have waited a few more months to release this because shockingly, this case wound up getting solved. I highly recommend this.

The Speedway Murders - About the 1978 Burger Chef murders. I guarantee this format gets ripped off by tons of true crime shows. It has actors playing the victims alive in the restaurant and they go over all the various theories about what really happened. Pretty unique.

Juror #2 - This was a huge disappointment... especially when you consider the possibility that it's Clints last film. He should've starred in it as the juror. It has a Lifetime movie vibe to it. I've noticed a lot of dramas feel like this now.

Trap - Just another M Night Sghbnbgfgk movie with a twist. His twists are simply way too predictable and when that's all his movies have to offer....

Late Night With the Devil - They nail the late night tv 70s setting. It was great up until it goes bat poop crazy at the climax.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) - Pure garbage. I only made it halfway through. The cast is simply too unlikable for me to give a shit about anything that's happening.

John Candy: I Like Me - This was incredible. He's deserved a documentary like this for decades. Loved the SCTV footage.

GLOW (series) - The first two seasons were perfect. I regretted waiting so long to watch it. It did not need that third season. It almost ruins it. If/when I watch it again, I'll be skipping the final season.

Cheech and Chong's Last Movie - A perfect final chapter to their story. They drive while going over every aspect of the saga while we get to see all the footage. You can tell the breakup still bothers them... especially Chong.

I always thought a final movie like a Grumpy Old Men for stoners would've been the way to go out. Nope...this provides closure.

Defending Jacob - Great 8 episode miniseries. I should probably read the book.

The World Will Tremble - It's good but there was so much more potential here. I wish Spielberg had tackled this story. What happened at Chelmno is horrifying...and just the opening round of the death camps ..but they don't properly convey the nightmare. It's just not all that emotional or shocking.

I'm starting to wonder if those old historians were right....it would be impossible to really dive into the Holocaust on film. A few exceptions of course.

Goebbels and The Fuhrer - This was better than it had any right to be.I went into it with low expectations. I have it on my list of things to watch again.

The Apology - This could've been amazing but they drag it out way too long. I would've preferred a better actor as brother in law/killer.

Humane- Loved it. I could easily picture this really happening in the coming decades....some sort of collapse happens and every family has to agree to euthanize some members.

You'll Never Find Me - I loved it up until the twist ruined it.

Hell of a Summer - Great slasher comedy. We need more movies like this.

Stranger Things - I finally forced myself to give this a shot...I had waited long enough. It starts out with a bang but I lost interest completely when season 4 starts. I don't think I can finish it.

A Private Eye

I think season 4 was the best by far of Stranger Things. I was losing interest with season 3 but the fourth was a huge improvement imo. Not watched any of season 5 yet.
