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.
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.
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.
Damsel
Hell no
Gladiator. Hells yes!
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.
Orange County
Coming of age movie with Tom Hanks' kid, and Jack Black. Mediocre at best.
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.
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.
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.
Ford vs Ferrari last night. Yeah, I would recommend it.
2036 Origin unknown. It was quite a good movie so, yes, I would recommend it.
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.
Watched the Waterboy again.
Sad they don't make good comedy movies anymore. Would recommend it. Recently watched America Pie too. Quality film.
The Mask is sssssmokin'!
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.
Thor 1. i thought it was great. very shakespearian
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.
Twisters - If you liked Twister, you will like this one, not entirely a remake, but pretty close.
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.
At home: Knives Out In a cinema: Bad Boys 4
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.
