      Agreed. I’ve only gone to the movies twice in the last 2-3 years and I am soo very glad I managed to drag the wife out for spiderman.

      It was fantastic. Recency bias completely but I really do think it’s better than the first.

      That was also mine, didn’t really have a clue about what it was going in (other than it had Nick Cage in) and enjoyed it pretty much all the way through, great movie!

      When they’re tripping in the car, I was laughing my ass off. That movie was way better than it had any right to be.

    Network (1976).

    A prescient film that is just as relevant today as it was almost 50 years ago. A little monologue-y at times, but that’s just the style.

    The Banshee of Inisherin, I really enjoyed it. Very odd and funny in an uncomfortable, uneasy way. I especially enjoyed Kerry Condon as Siobhán, her performance was a great emotional counter point to the dead pan comedy between Colm and Pádraic.

    Across the Spiderverse. I really like Mile’s story… But I was a little disappointed by how slow paced the story seemed to be imo. Nothing got resolved. The whole movie was a lead up for the ending. Really disappointed with how the studio overworked artists (although that’s par for the course these days) and how shitty the audio was before they finally fixed it. Music didn’t live up to the first movie. The first movie has music that works great as stand-alone songs, but the second movie’s soundtrack just sounds like a soundtrack.

    I still enjoyed it though. I’d give the first movie a 9/10 and the second a 7/10.

    Spiderman ATSV

    It was fuckin incredible, this trilogy is going to be one of those once in a lifetime trilogies, like the Matrix Trilogy or the Dark Knight Trilogy, you mark my words.

    Can’t wait for BTSV

      Just saw this in the theater with my kids. I didn’t know going in that they were setting up for a third one, so was kind of bummed when (mild spoilers) they left things unresolved at the end. Still an amazing movie.

    The latest Dungeons and Dragons film. I’ve never played the game and know nothing of the lore but found it to be pretty enjoyable.

      I just watched it too. Really enjoyed it over the second and third.

      I felt they did a better job of setting the mood and scene than the previous ones.

        Are you talking about the first one or the 4th? After I watched the third I gave up on the franchise, it was so bloody awful in every way. The first one was a good film and it had been going downhill since

    I watched Tokyo Drift and Fast X back to back. Finished Tokyo Drift and loved it, felt like an actual movie with 3 acts. I made it a bit over an hour into Fast X before quitting, I honestly don’t know what I was expecting after the 9th one.

    Barbarian

    Sadly it does not stick the landing but everything up to that point is great. Love how it plays with the fact that the audience already expects Bill Skarsgård to be creepy.
