The "I just saw" thread

Shazam! Fury of the Gods

Compared to the first one, I think this was weaker on the heroes' side and stronger on the villians' side.

While they might do the cheap thing and have a JW5, I think it's likelier that this is the last movie and the final scene isn't just a cheeky preparation to "subvert expectations".
Besides, it's just a superhero movie and it got boring (imo) fast.

'Do your Michael Caine.'

10/10

Yes, it might not be your cup of tea.

Emotional Michael Caine=Best Michael Caine

[John Doe]

Tetris: easy watch, run smoothly, nothing special too. Good on a midweek evening.

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)

Could have had more breaks from killing, otherwise it was quite nice chapter.

[Ferdiad]

Madoka Magicka and the Rebellion movie. As good as the hype said it would be.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

You People

Very inclusive, very hip.
This is even more funny when you realize who Eddie Murphy's is married to now.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

The Siege of Jadotville

Nothing to see here.
Except a Company of Irish soldiers defending a compound against French Foreign Legionnaires somewhere in the Congo.
What?!
Come on, you have to admit that sounds exotic!

Inspired by a true story.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

Nice funny fantasy!

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

Nice funny fantasy!

Planning to see it soon, was Chris Pine as awesome as usual?

[Araval]

Indeed!

Inside




Willem Dafoe, trapped in a fancy house.
That's it.
That's the whole movie.

[Kyriakos]

^Watched it. Not sure what the ending meant. I'd like it if it was related to the "Bulgarian Joke".

In that just because you see something start, it doesn't mean it wasn't going on before.

Rogue Heroes

Mad British Bastards in the desert killing Germans & Italians.
It was fun and somewhat historically accurate until

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

...they used a soldier of Jewish descent for comedic relief.
Had no idea how pervasive Anti-Semitism was in WW2 movies

Take a look

Also, I'm not Jewish.
I just don't like being fed BS propaganda, by any nation, victorious or otherwise

Remember when movies were smart?
As in, written by intelligent people?

Here's an example.

Inside Man

[Kyriakos]

Watched the Master (2012).
Good cast, but was it supposed to convey something? Why have the mildly retarded guy get involved in the cult? Apart from something like a platitude (=he always wanted a family).

[Septentrionalis]

The Night Before (2015).

A funny and very intense comedy. Features a nice cast, including one of my comedy favorites Seth Rogen. I recommend if you like the stoner comedy genre.

[Akar]

Recently watched Midsommar - the directors cut of course - might be one of my favorite movies now.

Also saw Mystic River also a damn good movie. Feels very similar to Prisoners.

Renfield (2023)

Charming and fun!
