Just got back from seeing this in IMAX, it looked awesome, sounded awesome. I did not read the books, but would recommend this whole heartedly. It went very fast, solid humor, and not knowing what was going to happen left me anxious in multiple places. It's a nice feel good buddy comedy in...

This was bad, but we knew that going in. Just wanted a silly action movie and silly action movie is what we got. My main issue with the movie turned out to be not liking the mech design. It didn't seem like the type of advanced tech I have come to expect from a space fairing race.

I was pretty jazz'd to see this announced. I thought the first was a really solid slasher film. The slow, prodding, sense of inevitability and tension were great.

I would agree, good flick, interesting take on how the zombies came about, and worth the watch for the genre. I may need to go back and rewatch at some point. It started losing my attention in the back half somewhere and feel like I may have missed some interesting detail but think I got the...

I would recommend watching Bone Temple to anyone that likes zombie movies, period, nearly without seeing part 1. I do think watching the first provides needed context and may be a hate watch. Part 1 definitely didn't come out of the gates very strong and turned some folks off, but Bone Temple...

Saw this yesterday on a lark and I really enjoyed it. I liked the first, except the ending, so take that for what it is worth. The only thing I did not like about the ending was the tracksuit ninja gang. The contrast between medieval England society and that group was too jarring. As to...

Jeez, this has been slowly creeping up but Perplexity must be making some sort of sponsorship play. I think it would have done better if they just renamed Perplexity 'Jamie' for a period of time. That would be fun. Hey guys, have you tried PERPLEXITY? Perhaps we should ask PERPLEXITY about...

I have a buddy that was trying to 'educate' me on this yesterday. He is 100% certain that by 1/12 there will be a surprise episode(s) drop up to, and including, theaters. He described it similar to breaking the 4th wall saying 'audience is being controlled by Vecna' and / or this is all in...

Saw this yesterday, didn't realize it was opening weekend so it was busier than I expected. There isn't much to say about the movie itself without risk of spoiler. The short version is I really enjoyed this film. Plemons and Stone were stellar. Stavros is a pretty minor roll, so don't let...

I liked Longlegs, but Weapons was superior. I like how it told the story from various perspectives advancing it bit by bit, filling in gaps, etc. It was very engaging. It is also likely more accessible to the general public. I liked Longlegs, but it went too weird. Outside of ~5 - 10...

Could be strange, but the 'guy in a suit' movement made me like this more. Reminded me of Doug Jones (Hellboy Abe, Pan's Labyrinth Faun / Pale Man, etc.) at some level. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0427964/

We saw this today, it was fine. I'll give it a solid B. Not great, but they really did try to honor the original. Some was a bit much (infrared scene), some was more traditional (crane), some more lonely Island (black eyed peas), and the rest somewhere in between it all. Not a bad theater...

Not just dicks, but distractingly large / floppy when it comes to the alphas. Definitely showers.

Channeling some Paul Smecker for sure.

Better than the last season for sure, more classic Dexter vibes. Intriguing, good cameos, will be continuing the watch.

Wife and I caught this today. She felt bad I always see things like the Barbie Movie / Wicked and so we checked this out. I am a big fan of zombie movies in general, always have been. 28 Days Later was top tier for me and my youth. I liked 28 Years Later as well, but it wasn't quite as...

Late to the party on this one but finally made it through. This one was really a slog and that is coming from someone who didn't mind Rhythm of War. Initial thoughts after finishing last night...

Yeah, that was a fun conversation. Wife doesn't do horror much, thought this was going to be more comedy. Wife: Do you think it will be bloody? Me: Nah, I think this will be fine. Wife: ...

I have not been able to get through this. I have tried 3 times to continue the watch but it just isn't pulling me in. I end up drifting off and not paying attention. Maybe a better for a flight or something where I can't leave.

Coming from someone who has not played the games, I just do understand how they went through with this in the second episode. Joel was 'the guy', Ellie is insufferable and unlikable. They could have at least worked in a few episodes that, perhaps they deviate from the game, build in some...

We are just about caught up on this season, just have Callister left to go. Overall, I'm a big fan. To echo everyone else, Common People is the flagship of what I expect from Black Mirror. The rest are good / fun. The weakest for me have been Reverie / Playthings but that is just due to how...

Super, I was hoping to see reviews start for this. I very much want to see this from trailers but was reserving until more reviews came in. May get me out to a theater yet.

Finished this up tonight and I definitely enjoyed the show overall. I liked Noah Wyle in Falling Skies but never watched ER. Interesting overall storyline, liked the characters in general but the personalities were a bit strong or a charictature of normal folks. That didn't distract much...

Anyone watch through Nightmares and Daydreams? Vibe is a Black Mirror / VHS type horror series. I checked out the first couple of episodes. They wanted to be good, but just didn't seem to pull it off. Not sure if I should power through or not. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21962590/

This was a fun movie we saw over the weekend. It is silly and absurd with some good stunts thrown in. I believe they broke 3 records in total (barrel roll, car jump, and fall). The unicorn and bullhorn bits got me pretty good. Both Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are likable, have good timing...

Random information to contribute as I have been on TRT for ~3 years at this point, 43 years old. In 2021 I was diagnosed with secondary hypogonadism with total Test ~150 ng/dL and an excessively high SHBG ~105 nmol/L . Would not recommend, feels like trash. The primary reason for seeking help...

I was hoping he is, there seemed to be enough foreshadowing with the ship and 'cannons being critical to their tactics' as well as the rather grand / improper 'You're all dead' seemed like a bit of a show. Or I am just seeing what I want to see.

I liked the episode this week. Not a barn burner, but it advances the plot, is a bit tense, and sets up well for the next. Hiroyuki Sanada does a lot of heavy lifting for me in this series. I like the cool, calm, collected trope playing out. Though, I sure do hope the the hinted plan comes...

How dare you besmirch Gambit's good name. *As I look at the first appearance of gambit in a frame on my wall*. He was my boy growing up.

All caught up on Solo Leveling after being out of town a bit. It still continue to be great. I am curious about so many things, but mainly the job change quest. I wonder if it is an old school upgrade (squire > knight) or traditional (assassin > mage). Who knows, it could even be something...

That was CGI? I thought the reason the choreography and punches were so bad was because it was actually Malone. Just assumed filming was from before he lost some weight recently.

Yes, but the suspenders, they are hand painted.

Eh, Dragonslayer is of my youth so probably rose colored glasses. I do think that old 'bad' movies with practical effects still do better than CGI similar to what was in Damsel. You are just well aware it is CGI and a green screen and it is very fake. Similar to the Aladdin remake, the...

Not much to say about this, wasn't great. We didn't turn it off, but it went to background mode pretty quick. The CGI and environments were alright in some areas. Shohreh Aghdashloo is a good dragon voice. Aside from that, pretty forgettable.

Agreed, we thought this was enjoyable as well. It is the correct type of slow. Sandler is really doing a bang up job in his later years. Dano / Hanus sounded very similar to Frank from Donny Darko but I got over that pretty quickly.

I'm still chewing on this one, I liked it a bunch and it was definitely a theater watch. It was a spectacle and pretty, but it fell slightly short due to coming in with pretty high expectations, so probably my fault. I enjoyed Part One more than Part Two, but the first half of Part Two more...

Only 3, that's a shame, with that count I doubt they will even make it through (or even start) the last mage test. I was at least hoping for some resolution on that front. It is odd to watch Denken sometimes. His style, voice actor, and mannerisms would all make me think he's a baddy in any...

Watched Frieren based on the praise here, this show is an enjoyable watch. I can't say exactly what it is, but it hits on multiple levels. It was a bit misleading reading through here, I thought the season was going to be ending at episode 24 so I wouldn't have to wait, woops, now I'm on the...

Boo. Hiss. Coming from a non-book reader, I loved the weirding modules as a kid. Even if they weren't supposed to be real, I am going to miss that aspect. Science magic.
