My last film was The Butterfly Effect 🦋 (for the 5th time haha ). Seriously, I really like imagining other possibilities that our choices can cause, this one comes from Chaos Theory.
Great film, I recommend everyone watch it (at least the first film, the others that came after I really didn't like 😖).

Oh yeah, that one really makes you think. I've only watched it once but it might be time for a rewatch soon. Didn't even know it had sequels, but it sounds like they weren't very good anyway. Welcome to my WL.

I decided to make a podcast going over the film careers of Dennis Hopper, Bob Hopkins and John Leguizamo. Because of this the last movie I watched was an underwhelming '73 comedy called The National Health. Hopkins is alright in it but it's nothing to seek out.

Might watch this some day, not every movie has to be great. Welcome to my WL.

The Whale
(Watched it on a flight)
I'm a bit conflicted on it
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh man, It felt a little "over-indulgent" with the suffering and the eating. And the film tries to make you root for the underdog (fraser) with his character's calmness and overall moral superiority, imo.
Pretty good film for something that only really takes place in one apartment setting. And I liked the character complexity for something in a short film; nobody was to blame and yet nobody was innocent in this situation.

Blue Beetle in the cinema two days ago, I thought it would be much worse but it's an okay movie.

the new Miles Morales movie: Across the Spiderverse
No spoilers but the ending made me so mad 😂

Same. I didn't read up on it beforehand and when it got close to the end I got concerned. Ended up thinking "come ooon, now we gotta wait so long for the next one?" :D Welcome to my WL.

Can't say anything about Jujutsu Kaisen but I've watched Barbie earlier today and really enjoyed it. Welcome to my WL.

The Banker, it was pretty good. Samuel L. Jackson is an automatic win

It was " The Whale " ending didnt satisfy me but Brendan fraser played the role so good.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, the ending was a bit more stylized than it maybe should've been but Brendan Fraser was just amazing in that role. Welcome to my WL.

That sounds like a fictional movie you'd see in an animated Netflix show. Welcome to my WL.

Oppenheimer, film was excellent... for me at least. Highly recommend it.

The last movie I watched was The Fifth Element. I don't think it lived up to some of the more fanatical reviews of it, but it was pretty good. Supporting cast really elevated it. What's the last movie you've seen, OP?
Comment has been collapsed.
The Fifth Element is very good and I still got that aria stuck in my head. If you wanna find out my last movie, just check out the movies thread where I post my latest movie every day. It was Barbie (2023) and it was surprisingly good, better than I expected. Welcome to my WL.

The one from 1977 or the remake from 2006? I've only seen the original but I remember it being kinda disappointing. Maybe my expectations were too high. Welcome to my WL.

Watched Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny in a movie theater.
Comment has been collapsed.
I enjoyed it, although not as much as the original trilogy. The plot has some turns that you shouldn't think about too deeply, but I didn't dislike it. I think it's an enjoyable adventure, and better than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

You're the second person who watched The Covenant (2023) in this thread. Did you like it? Welcome to my WL.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is a new release so I think that is normal. :)
It is a real story so it tempts me because of that.
Mediacore movie though.
If you are looking for a war movie Black Hawk Down is a very good one.

Yeah, Oppenheimer was mentioned like 10 times at least. :D

I found that one boring.
I am trying to think of a movie that I really enjoyed recently and I can't think of any.
I wonder if I am growing up or movie qualities are decreasing?
What did you watch recently?

Those animations did not age well. They look like a video game cutscene from... well, around the same time, so 2008. Welcome to my WL.

"Profile" on Netflix. Was better than I expected it to be!

Is that another screenlife movie? I enjoyed the ones I've seen (Searching (2018) and Missing (2023)) but I feel like I gotta be in a specific mood to watch a movie that completely takes place on a computer screen. Welcome to my WL.

I enjoyed that one a lot. How about you? Welcome to my WL.

Cage is clearly on his road to the throne again. After so many years he finally played Dracula. And they had a nice chemistry with Hoult, he's brilliant too.

Definitely. They played so well off each other in this movie.

We bought the online version to watch it from home, I don't enjoy the loud sound in cinemas.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh yeah, you wouldn't have enjoyed this one, then. There are scenes where the movie became almost unbearably loud. And I'm not even talking about the explosion.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh yeah I caught onto that, noticed that some scenes were louder than others even when watching at home. But then it's as simple as just hitting the volume button on the remote, can't do that in the cinema unfortunately.

No need to whitelist me. Just wanted to say thanks for this thread - I added a few movies to my backlog...
I usually don't have enough time to watch whole movies in a single sitting, so I tend to watch several of them in parallel, in different settings. So I got several "last" movies:
Hypnotic - an OK thriller with a nice "mind control secret goverment agency" premise. If you like the premise I suggest reading the comic book series MIND MGMT, and the novel Lexicon - both are much better, and deeper (but maybe it's the medium...)
By pure chance I watched two other films by the same director/writer (Robert Rodriguez): Machete and Machete Kills, which are in the so-bad-it's-good category. Only reason I managed to finish them was that I watched these while exercising...
Seven Samurai - A Masterpiece
Three Thousand Years of Longing - Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton - wow! would never have guessed that pairing would work - and it works well. Plus a lot of dialog in Aramaic, Ottoman Turk and other weird sounding languages.
Last movie I went to see at a movie theater:
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves - a surprisingly good adventure flick - had a lot of fun.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've seen the trailer for Hypnotic (2023) at the cinema. Looks interesting. The Machete movies are stupid fun, which is definitely not a bad thing sometimes. Seven Samurai (1954) is a masterpiece. If that was maybe your first Kurosawa, definitely check out his other work, too. He made a lot of really great movies. Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022) was so good! I was so invested in this world, I wish it would've been twice as long. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) I've seen twice now. Once at the cinema and once at home. And each time it's been so much fun! I really want them to make more DnD movies. Whoops, now I already whitelisted you. Welp. :P

Yojimbo was my first Kurosawa, so it still has a special place in my heart.

One of my absolute favourite horror movies of all time. Was it your first time or a rewatch? Welcome to my WL.
Comment has been collapsed.
This was a rewatch, I usually rewatch it once every 2-3 years in December, but this year I didn’t wait so long :)
Thanks!!
