Ask Lemmy

Deadpool and wolverine. It was a pretty good movie.

I watched but did not finish inglorious bastards because we had to take iur kitten to the vet.

However, I watched and finished District 9 and it was unequivically a banger. I can't reveal too much without spoilers so I will only say this. It primarily takes place in South Africa and the history of apartheid is important to its message.

I also watched Starship Troopers not to long ago and it was a banger too. The history of American imperialism is incredibly important fot this one.

Both of these are very relevant to world events at the moment and watching them now will only do you good

Ratatouille

It was pretty good. My son loved it. I recommend it for sure.

Spaceballs. yeah

Longlegs If you like psycho horror it's fun. So yes :) Takes place during the last years of the satanic panic. Not necessarily my cup of tea but nicely made. Not as jump scary as expected, but still some jump scares, so be aware.

Damsel

Hell no

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.

Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

It's an absolute delight and based on a true story. The first black ops team.

Two books on it:

The crazy part, the absolutely crazy part, is that in the real life story, nobody got killed. You can see in the trailer they COMPLETELY changed that part. Nobody would believe it.

Gladiator. Hells yes!

Recently rewatched “What If” as background noise. I had never heard of it when I first watched it, and came away really enjoying it. A really good cast, and a quirky rom-com plot made it a fun watch.

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.

Thor 1. i thought it was great. very shakespearian

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.

Twisters - If you liked Twister, you will like this one, not entirely a remake, but pretty close.

Watched the Waterboy again.

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

Ford vs Ferrari last night. Yeah, I would recommend it.

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.

The Mask is sssssmokin'!

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

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

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

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.

Love Lies Bleeding, and yes, I’d recommend it.
