Role Models. Which I had completely forgotten existed until my wife asked if I had seen it.

Early 2000s, Paul Rudd and Stiffler get stuck doing community service in a Big Brother program. I laughed a few times, and there's a lot of LARPing involved.

It's not going to be anyone's favorite movie, but it was a fun way to spend an evening.

Bone Tomahawk was alright. Kurt Russell played a solid frontier law man. There's a pretty spicy gore scene in there too.

95% gritty western, 5% "Rob Zombie remakes Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

In a theater? Deadpool and Wolverine. Similar to other people here, I think objectively it was not good, but just a fun ride of fan service and cameos that was quite entertaining. I don’t know why I paid for 3d though: had to wear glasses but didn’t see any 3d effects.

At home? The Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies. Apparently I had never seen them and my teen insisted. I liked them. I don’t know why people criticize the actor: I’d criticize the writers. No one wants a moody emo self-centered Spider-Man. Toby McGuire does well partly because they wrote a more lighthearted playful Spider-Man for him, even in the face of apocalypse

I agree with you about Deadpool and Wolverine. The story was stupid but seeing Wolverine in the yellow suit in live action was worth it for me. I don't usually go for super hero/comedies but I was prepared for that going into this one so it didn't bother me much and a lot of the cameos were pretty cool.

My wife and I were staying in Bologna for 2 nights, and there was a big free open-air cinema on the largest public square that showed Italian film classics with English subtitles. We watched "La Dolce Vita" by Fellini on the first night and a satirical comedy called "Divorce Italian type" the second night. La dolce vita is great but not an easy watch since it deals with typical topics of early modernity in the 50s. It's kinda like the books from that time about existence and hedonism and the complexity of life. The other movie is about a guy who wants to murder his Wife so he can date his 16-year old cousin and is way funnier than the premise would suggest.

Alien Romulus; caught the second showing at a local theater today.

It's definitely one of the better Alien films; it's not as great as the first 2, definitely better than the 3rd though.

Orange County

Coming of age movie with Tom Hanks' kid, and Jack Black. Mediocre at best.

[-] zgasma@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago

Thelma

Indie movie about a grandma that gets scammed and fights back. Funny and cute. Really good if you like that stuff. Based on a true story.

[-] funbreaker@kbin.earth 2 points 2 months ago

How I Saved the President also known as The Undercover Kid. It‘s a 90s kd adventure move in which a preteen who can talk to animals is somehow way better than the Secret Service at their full-time jobs.

It‘s perfect for a Bad Movie Night.

[-] xylogx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Nit exactly a movie, but I rewatched the first season of True Detective. It is a Masterpiece, IMHO.

[-] WhiteHairSuperSaiyan@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 months ago

Back to the future. It was my wife’s first time seeing it all the way through. Yes. Watch it. It’s funny, dumb, and a clever story. If you can get past some of the classic campiness from the 80s you won’t regret watching it. However, my wife could not get past the campiness and would probably recommend avoiding it.

I Saw the TV Glow

I wouldn't recommend it to cis people, but maybe to some trans folks.

[-] Atin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

2036 Origin unknown. It was quite a good movie so, yes, I would recommend it.

[-] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The last kids movie: The Incredibles 2, great as always, and highly recommended along with the 1st. Very excited for the 3rd.

The last non-kids movie: The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. I recommend this to anyone who likes movies similar to The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Everyone in it does a great job and is interested that it is based on a true story, albeit embellished, but also the basis and inspiration for the James Bond books.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Thor 1. i thought it was great. very shakespearian

[-] roserose56@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Perfect Days 2023
Excellent movie, simple story showing his simple every day life. It goes through his life, doing what he likes, and shows stories that happens every day.

[-] Wanderer@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Watched the Waterboy again.

Sad they don't make good comedy movies anymore. Would recommend it. Recently watched America Pie too. Quality film.

[-] skoell13@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

More like a documentary: Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau it basically tells the story of how the movie The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996) was produced. Let's say a lot of weird stuff happened and I can really recommend the documentary.

I Married A Witch, some old black and white movie my partner threw on. It was utterly enchanting.

National Lampoon's Senior Trip.

I watched Jeremy Renner's wired auto complete interview on YouTube and he mentioned that was his first role. So I looked it up and it had 0% on rotten tomatoes. And I thought to myself, it can't be that bad.

It was pretty bad, maybe not 0% bad, but I found very few redeeming qualities.

I would not recommend.

At home: Knives Out In a cinema: Bad Boys 4

[-] biofaust@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.

Warmly recommended to kids and adults alike. Fantastic style, cool action sequences, top-notch voice acting and cool story. It may seem derivative of Spiderman Into the Spider verse, but it's better in many respects.

[-] Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

I watched the running man with some friends last weekend. I'd say it's a solid meh. It's the first time I've actually seen Schwarzenegger in a movie, and I gotta say, I don't understand why he's so popular. He's a pretty terrible actor.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's a pretty early film. His acting and especially his comedy does improve a lot over time, though it's never amazing. I think he's a product of the 80's. If he were getting his start today I'm not sure he'd stand out. He'd be like a less charismatic Jason Momoa.

He tends to be in movies that don't rely much on emoting (Conan & Terminator) or with better actors (Danny Devito, Gabriel Byrne, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bill Paxton—it's a very long list) and the action and effects were top notch for the day, and the stories usually had a good emotional core. I do think True Lies was probably his best movie even if not the most iconic. And it really holds up today - I would strongly recommend it.

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

The Last Action Hero got panned, but it's a pretty solid satire of the action films he made his career on.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

I love that movie. But it also had Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) in it and a great villain really helped make LAH the classic it is. I think it exemplifies my comment: emotional core (relationship with the kid and his mom), better actors, good effects.

But I do wish it was given the respect you and I think it deserves.
