I re-watched the 2001-2007 Tobey Maguire Spiderman trilogy this week. It held up really well, and I thought 1 and 2 were good movies while number 3 was passable but not great.
I definitely have rose-tinted nostalgia glasses when it comes to these Spiderman movies (my mom pulled me out of school and we played hooky to go and see the first one, first time I did something like that), but I think these movies held up much better than something like an Avengers or a Dr. Strange is going to (in fact Iād comfortably rank 1/2 as some of the best superhero movies full stop). I think thereās too many great lines/characters/scenes that have seeped into wider pop culture/internet memedom to say thereās nothing here.
I cannot agree more. You go to the theatre and the trailers are all the same shit over and over. That and the action movies like Jason Stathamās the Beekeeper which is the stupidest of the stupid. The guyās been doing the exact same movie again and again and again for the last 20 years and people still pay to watch that crap. They probably donāt even know that he was an actor once.
](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4589218/) is awesome. This film is on par with Evil Dead Rise (2023). Two best horrors movies of 2023; Also Megan (2023) is not bad. Also Brooklyn 45 is worth watching
I saw it a few months ago and personally felt like it could have been 45 minutes shorter by trimming some fat off the front end mostly. Not that none of that stuff needed to be covered, but they took their sweet time getting through it all.
Hellraiser on 4K looks stunning. This phone pic of my TV does not do it justice. Havenāt seen it on about five years but imported the recent Arrow set and will be doing one a day when time allows.
If one goes into it knowing itās cheesy, over the top, and not meant to be taken seriously, I think anyone would enjoy it. I liked it. It was dumb and ridiculous, but also fun and lots of good fight scenes.
Just saw Civil War. It was good. Thought it was going to suck but found it to pretty top notch production-wise. Direction and acting was great too. Best part is the soundtrack and sound work though.
If you get past the stupid premise that the apes are able to use structured language following the creation of a human virus & considering an ape is the closest animal to a human, it makes sense that they would learn & mimic what humans did.
In the movie, I would interpret the apes riding horses more as a display of superiority/power over other animals, because, of course, they donāt need them to travel.
Damn, revisiting Paranormal Activity 1 sucked ass. I legitimately liked that movie at the time, but I think Iāve gotten way too addicted to micro budget ghost trash since then and itās distorting my perception. Maybe the later ones turned into the total horseshit that I like, but the first one nearly felt like a cohesive, solid movie to me. Not nearly trashy enough
Blackwell Ghost 1-8 (or was it 1-7? I canāt remember) was a decent binge, and if I can find them all (I wonāt say where) Iām definitely going to do the same with the Bad Ben series. Iām already sold just after the first one, itās so awful.
Anyone with bingeworthy ghost trash, please send them my way as usual
