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.

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.

Ratatouille

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Watched the Waterboy again.

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

Neon genesis evangelion : The end of Evagelion

. . .

Second time watching the whole series + ending, understood things better this time around however still have some questions. Third time will be the charm I am sure of it.

It's a great storie revolving around the hedgehog dilema, change within ourselfs, and escapism, hitting too close to home at times.

What upfront looks like a freaking cool mecha anime, which it is, hides a narrative so human it gives you chill by how real it is at times. Really recommended the movie + series.

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