I’ll start: “Happy Death Day”
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and Renfield were absolutely amazing and I think they fit the bill
I’ll give you the first one, way better than it had any right to be. 2nd was ok.
For the direct sequel of the 1931 Dracula movie starring Nicholas Cage in a toxic boss/employee relationship in a gory B movie-esque film, I think it was pretty amazing !
Any movie where Cage “acts” mentally unstable is going to be the best fucking movie that year. I still can’t get over his role in Color Out of Space.
Nothing will ever beat Face/Off when he portrays Travolta’s character pretending to be him.
Renfield
I’m perpertually locked in Cage but both my s/o and myself passed out on two seperate watch attempts 🫠
I’ll start: “Happy Death Day”
Wait, I didn’t know Re:Zero had a live action!
Free Guy
Generic video game movie stuffed with trendy references and fanservice is actually a really good singularity story
Somebody must do a Trakt or (Mdblsit) of the titles mentioned here, I am honestly interested in catching up with this backlog lol.
P.S. I love you.
When we were dating, my wife and I just went to the theater and picked a random movie and I left a blubbering fucking mess. We had to go directly to a bar to get a drink to take the edge off. We usually watch it once a year and it still destroys me.
I watched that when I had PMS and bawled through the whole thing, I was expecting a romantic comedy and I have never been so upset by a plot twist.
VVitch (=witch) Logan Eklavya (Hindi)
First movie that comes to mind is the Power Rangers movie starring Bryan Cranston from like 7 or 8 years ago. Went fully expecting another Transformers-esque butchering of a nostalgic trip. Was delightfully surprised by the deep and relatable characters. I recommend it as an above-average super hero movie.
I actually loved this one, although the product placement was off the wall
the product placement was off the wall
And on the wall. And some of the walls themselves are ads. Also the rubble remains of some of the walls are also still product placement.
But yes, it’s a pretty good film.
Kripendorf’s Tribe. That thing is pure gold.
Although to me it didn’t look like it would suck, Hellboy: The Crooked Man got panned by critics, but it was fantastic.
Yeah I just watched it and really enjoyed it.
The critics on this over were pretty funny to me.
“They made me watch another Hellboy film, and it’s a Hellboy film, and I’m angry.”
Some of those critics need to learn when to call in sick.
It’s a great Hellboy film. Haha.
Arguably the most Hellboy Hellboy film.
There are so many movies I could list but for now I’ll go with About Time. Everything about it makes it seem like it would be a dumb sappy romcom but it manages to hit hard.
This was a great one.
This is my favorite movie. It’s the best that was ever written about mindfulness.
I’ve only ever watched it once, but this movie will haunt my mind until the day I die. Fucking amazing movie.
Absolute stealth hit. The last table tennis game… Man that hits hard.
Keanu Reeves holds two places on my list; Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure and Johnny Mnemonic.
Velocipastor! It looks and seems like it’ll be a parody but it was super engaging and fun. Went into it thinking it would be watched between gaming rounds and eventually turned off, but I ended up quitting the game to full-screen that shit!
yeah i get what you mean. it does look pretty bad 😂
[Fire Fx here]
I’m going to have to make a list of the movies recommended here that I want to watch. Lots of interesting picks. Cool idea for a post.
…hot tub time machine; absurdly better film than its pitch had any right to be…
I figured out why that movie is so good because it bothered me for a while.
The casting is absolutely perfect. Its not terribly special in any other way, but they nailed the cast. Even dumb lines like “cox n dix” work.
I thought Dude, Where’s My Car? was very entertaining - maybe not a cinematic masterpiece, but way better than the 9 out of 10 reviews I read that all said it was the worst movie they had ever seen. I’m not exaggerating - they didn’t just say it was bad, I remember nine of the ten literally called it “the worst movie I’ve ever seen.”
I used to love that movie, went to try and rewatch it recently and was hit with a blast of early 2000’s casual transphobia. Couldn’t keep watching after, it put a really sour taste in my mouth.
It’s amazing how much transphobia there was in that time.
And then?
No and then.
