Letterbox in sig! Following everyone who has shared it now. Zelos, didn't know you were following me or didn't know it was you, but fixed now. Best avatar belongs to Snake though

I haven't watched so much recently, which I'm trying to fix. As for recent films I'd recommend, I'd likely say Climax, even if some will find it shallow or just won't see the point. Definitely a movie you just need to feel and get into! Funny, cause I quite disliked both Irreversible and Enter the Void.

And dunno if there are any Almodvar fans here but I could catch his latest. It's got rave reviews in Spain (maybe the best in his career), and, while no doubt a very competent film, I found it to be quite cold even if it aims to be very personal. Julieta, though, while cold in the surface, resonated quite a lot with me. Gone are the days of his melodramas, I'm afraid.

finally got around to seeing Captain Marvel

There are some issues I have with it (the writing, primarily) but overall I loved it, mostly because of Brie Larson's performance and her chemistry with Sam Jackson

also the visual effects were pretty great

i wouldn't say i'm an almodvar fan but when i was studying media and culture i did have to watch women on the verge of a nervous breakdown for class. it was good.

Really liked Black Panther, although I'm struggling to think of much interesting to say and I'm not rushing out to proclaim it as a masterpiece. Feels like a 7-8/10 deal, though probably closer to an 8.

I'm proud that superhero movies have come far enough to the point where they can tell serious stories while still leaving plenty of room for natural humor and leaving behind all the grimdark nonsense, and where the villains aren't just looking to conquer the world or cause general chaos. I used to think I had a bias against superhero movies and resented how they've taken over the box office, then I realized that it's probably more a bias towards older films on my part and that Hollywood would probably be making royal pieces of crap if it wasn't making good superhero flicks.

Also realized this is the second Disney film I've seen this year with a black supremacist villain, the other being Con Air. Bonus points in that Diamond Dog in that film plans on betraying Cyrus once they're done with the plane, though they never get that far. Also Diamond Dog's actor is in the MCU.

For another pointless statistic, the last movie I watched with a LOTR actor in it was Alien, which is now also a Disney film. Also that both Ian Holm and Martin Freeman have played Bilbo.

That being aside, the best compliment I can pay the CGI is that the objects looked like what they were supposed to be. Otherwise, ouch.

Saw Wonder Park on Friday. Nothing earth shattering Decent enough, I generally needed to something to leave my brain at the door for 1h30. Confession: I would totally ride the Skyflinger but be shitting myself.

Got the following on DVD dirt cheap and watched them over the weekend

Flubber - Legitimately one of Robin Williams' (God rest his soul) greatest 90s works. Was all but dying.

Mr Popper's Penguins, Alright I suppose. Jim Carrey can make me laugh in most things

The Croods. Ah, now this is Dreamworks done *right*. Been a good while since I saw it, fun to be had.

*Ignores Endgame spoilers/discussion and is willing to wear a 3 month sentence for t***ting somebody one for spoiling it* A good lawyer will argue that down to 6wks, with no priors. :)

Anyhoo, Got done with Castaway. Early going is a bit of snoozer but really picks up when Chuck is cast away (pun intended). One of TH's best, IMO. Times, I wish I could live on a poxy Island away from everyone's BS but not for four years!

Back from Endgame, no regrets.

Has all the ingredients of a box office smash and this is one of the few times I don't mind a movie running quite long (Damn near 3hrs). Oh, and plenty of Laughs to be had. More than I expected.

Also Baywatch 2017 is on TV tomorrow, May just come home early for that, I actually enjoyed it Unironically when I saw it in the Cinema. Yes, every reviewer and his brother and their nan and their dog shat all over it but to me It's a Fun little "My brain is for rent for the next 2hrs" movie. My fave part is....

Anyhoo, Back from Det. Pikachu. Enjoyable. I originally thought this movie was gonna be a visual shithouse but it's pretty good! Psyduck lowkey stole the show. Laughs were had early on.

Recently watched all the Scream movies. I was very pleasantly surprised by the first one. I was totally expecting it to be a typical Friday the 13th horror borefest, but it was quite good.

Also watched Rambo for the first time yesterday. I wasn't as action-packed as I thought it would be, which I didn't mind. I do enjoy that Stallone basically doesn't say a thing for the entire movie but then the final five minutes of the movie are just him talking. Pretty well done.
