Would you recommend it to others?
Heat (1995)
Absolute must-watch
That movie is for sure in my Top 100 Movies of All Time. Definitely in my Top 15 Heist Movies of All Time.
This is blasphemy, but I prefer Ronin for my fix of a 90s crime movie with ground, high planning gunfights.
Heat has fantastic gunfights. The the opening hit on the armored truck and the bank heist shootout is top notch, but I literally can’t remember the rest of the movie.
Ronin’s plot and quiet moments are as engaging as the shootouts.
2036 Origin unknown. It was quite a good movie so, yes, I would recommend it.
Twisters, the one that just came out.
Generic, corny, unoriginal, boring collection of green-screen effects
Turned it off after about 40 minutes
I went to see it in one of those 4DX cinemas, that completely made the experience one of my favourites in the cinema for a while IMO.
Can’t imagine watching it like a normal film
I never understand people who make comments like this, what were you expecting going into Twisters? Citizen Kane? I watched Twisters today, it was a mindlessly fun little movie, exactly as expected.
Oh believe me, I watch the utmost crap,and read trashy thriller novels by the barrow load
Twisters was so generic it was like it was written and directed by ChatGPT
I’ve not seen this movie
Even mindless movies need a hook to pull you in. Fast & Furious has all that hokey family stuff, but the relationships between characters is the emotional core that makes you give a shit about all the garbage flying around on screen.
I’m sure this movie probably has/attempted something like that, but it doesn’t hit for everyone and they’re just left wondering why they’re watching a pointless animation for 2 hours.
I’ve been in both sides of this. X-Men: Apocalypse stands out in my mind as being just a bunch of pointless tropey CGI garbage that I was relieved to finally walk out of. But I enjoy all the F&F movies just the same, even if I wait to catch them on streaming since Paul died.
I recommend it.

I guess I’ll be the thread’s normie:
Deadpool & Wolverine
And yes I would recommend it. (If one is a fan of the genre of course)
Yeah, that’s the most recent movie for me, too. I thought it was all right; I’ve been listening to a lot of Insane Clown Posse recently so a lot of the jokes weren’t as shocking/outré as I think they were trying to be. But it definitely had its moments, like the… uh… “fingers to the face” scenes and the… “skin-related incident”.
Same! Loved it. Deadpool is now one of the best Marvel and Fox comic book movie trilogies in that it manages to nail all 3 movies. Have only seen that with Captain America and Guardians (imo).
Same. I’d recommend it to almost anyone, especially if you liked the previous ones.
Lilo and Stitch. Of course I’d recommend it. One of the best movies of all time!
The 1st one? I saw them listed in Kodi as of recently… And I didn’t remember there were 3 movies lol, I only remember about 2…
Yes the first one! The TV show is alright but they have different voice actors and artists so it’s not as good but the story line is still wholesome af.
The dark times when Disney was full tilt on direct-to-video sequels that were okay at best.
Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) - Aubrey Plaza in an engaging character piece that has hints of Eagle vs Shark among others. It’s not outstanding by any means and not among Plaza’s best, but still witty and touching.
I love this movie. It’s not fantastic or anything, but I think it’s a really sweet movie
The Boy and The Heron
A truly excellent movie made by Ghibli, fantastic studio with some really high quality films. Definitely recommend giving it a watch.
That was the second-to-last I watched. :)
Same here, although I confess I wasn’t blown away by this one. I often find that while Ghibli films always crush it on the imagination front, the writing can be hit and miss. I understood the autobiographical origin of the plot, but there were several parts that felt underdeveloped or poorly explained. Overall, was good but definitely not up there with Mononoke or Spirited Away, imo
Deadpool and wolverine. It was a pretty good movie.
Operation Mincemeat. Love me some bickering British spies.
I just watched one, like 3 hours ago. It’s Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Earth Symphony
It’s about music, and honestly animated films about music are some of the coolest films, as they can have infinite imagination of synchronizing and visualizing the music.
I know Doraemon isn’t that popular in the west, but it’s one of the top franchises here in Asia.
Inside Out 2 - and yes, I thought it was great, although not quite as good as the first one.
Last grown up film I saw was Emily the Criminal, which I really enjoyed. Aubrey Plaza is excellent in it.
Emily the Criminal was great
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.
Treasure Planet for the first time… It was a ride, I liked the animation and the old Disney style actually got me thinking if it had gaming adaptations… And ofc it had them… I want to at least try one (for nostalgic reasons), but I am unsure if the PS1 or PS2 version is the right one to go.
Robocop & Robocop 2 back-to-back. I’d recommend the first one but not the sequel. Even though it’s the same main actors, the writers seemingly decided to lower their IQ and make their personalities more shallow in the sequel.
I feel the second one is worth it for the warehouse attack scene and the press conference/final fight.
I don’t feel it’s a bad movie, but it’s got more silly than satire and focuses too much on the bad guys POV rather than RoboCop. Plus they literally wreck his personality.
First movie is still amazing though. One of my favorites!
