Loved Nosferatu. Entertaining period piece.
i’m sorry but it looks like art house rubbish

I'm not sure what you're referring to. The accents, maybe?

Kramer vs Kramer - 5.5/7 probably would be 6/7 if I didn't have such high expectations for a movie that won 5 Oscars, but it probably would have been 5/7 if I didn't have a kid of my own. Dustin Hoffman is killer.

He Got Game - 3.5/7 I'm not sure they needed a distractingly bad-at-acting Ray Allen so that it looked realistic when he played basketball for less than 5mins of the movie. Also I don't love way Spike Lee uses colors to make certain scenes seem like a fever dream.

Lion King 1 1/2 - 6.6/7 Hot damn this is a great flick, especially if you have The Lion King memorized like yours truly. Very funny with a hint of Mystery Science Theater 3000 vibes.

Maybe in a world where Step Brothers wasn't released in 2008.

It's not even the best movie filmed in Marfa, Texas in 2007

Glad to hear. Been waiting for this one. Excited to watch tonight.

Also, team No Country

The Monkey - 6.5/7 Most fun horror movie since Cabin In The Woods, probably

Manchester By The Sea - 6/7 Sticking to the Boston Bros' movies theme. A scene or two is going to stick with me forever. And I wish Casey Affleck was the lead in big budget movies, he's just so good.

Stoked to see the new Paddington with the fam. The first two were all timers.

sd you've been repeating yourself a lot on this board lately. Mostly the once in this thread, and a couple different times in the inner monologue thread.

Drugs? Old? Lack of inner monologue? A comedy bit that I'm unaware of?

My god these two Paddington movies got like a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I may actually have to watch them.

ChiComCat · « **Reply #13344 on:** February 24, 2025, 09:49:45 AM »

Paddington 3 was perfectly fine but not the tour de force of Paddington 2.

bucket · « **Reply #13345 on:** February 24, 2025, 10:02:34 AM »

I watched a few okay movies this weekend.

eXistenZ (4/7) - Jude Law and William Dafoe movie that came out in 1999. A little bit of The Matrix and Inception, but worse than both. Original idea and ahead of its time.
Conclave (4/7) - Not my type of movie but entertaining enough to keep my attention. I saw someone describe it as Succession version of the Vatican and that holds up.
The Gorge (4/7) - The trailer led me to believe this was going to be more of a romance/love story but it ended up being more Sci-Fi, which I was happy about. A crappy sci-fi movie but good enough to not feel bad about watching it.

Yes, these were all 4/7. None were great but they weren't bad enough to regret watching.

I think the Paddington love is a meme or something. Tried to watch and bleh. I think it was the accent that drove me nuts.

The first one is pretty good. The second is legitimately great.

I think I might watch conclave to get ready for the new poping process.
