The Irishman
The Martian came out the year my youngest was born, and I finally watched it last night. Really enjoyed it.

A real knee slapper, eh? (Golden Globes joke)

I looked that up so now I get it, heh. THOUGH... it was a lot lighter than I expected. I don't know that I'd categorize it as a comedy but definitely amusing in a lot of parts.

Damn, dude. That's impressive. I was only 10 in '82 so I was out on Blade Runner, Thing and Poltergeist (my parents thought it looked too scary — saw it a couple years later on HBO and they were right).
I still had ET, Tron, Star Trek II ... and Megaforce!
I had to see them one day at a time though ...

Continuing my Predator rewatch:
Predator 2 still holds up as one of those "I know this is a bad movie in many ways, but it is glorious nonsense and I love it" movies they don't really make anymore. Seeing LA looking like the way people who only watch Fox News thinks LA looks right now is wild. Everyone dressed like Shadowun characters is amazing. THE CLOTHES. Watched the AvP films while working out today.
Alien vs. Predator is an objectively bad movie.
Alien vs. Predator: Requiem is barely a movie. It has no redeeming value other than a predator who actually seems good at his job.
Tomorrow's workout movie will be Predators.

Watched Mickey 17 the other nite. Def worth a spin. Some really funny performances. Cool visuals and thematically engaging.
I did mention to my wife that while I didn't think it stole outright from a Spanish cartoonist fav of mine but it seemed like there was no way the creator (Parasite guy) hadn't read it. "Universe" by Albert Monteys

Just got out from M3gan 2.0, and I loved it! The character of Megan is just so good. It did the thing that some series do where the first one was horror, but the second was more action-y, but it was still fantastic.

Smile 2
Watched it with my 17 year old. She was absolutely unfolded with the second one.... hiding her eyes for part of it, turning on extra lights.
I thought they did a good job of making a sequel and not rehash. The big "oh no" ending was exactly what I expected, but the road to get there was so much fun that I didn't care. There were a lot more jump scares, but they balanced it well with some genuinely creepy storytelling. They say a Smile 3 is in the works. It will be interesting to see how they continue the story.

My son and I saw Smile 2 after being really surprised at how much we liked the first one.
If I remember right, we were disappointed with the back third of the movie, thinking that they'd gone too hard with the hallucination element and feeling like it was wasting our time with so much consecutive stuff that never happened and then an ending we had already predicted

Jurassic World Rebirth is doing well at the Box Office, which doesn't come as much of a surprise. I figured it would.
I saw it yesterday and I loved it. I will definitely be seeing it again. Don't wait for streaming for this one, folks. Go see it on the big screen!

Caught up on some movies this week while my wife and kids are on a trip.
Sinners - excellent stuff. I think I'll need to eventually give this a rewatch. Love the soundtrack.
Princess Bride - somehow avoided seeing this until now. It was fine. If I'd seen it when it first came out I'm sure I'd love it as much as everyone else.
The Shining - again, have never seen this until now somehow. Pretty good, but Shelly Duvall's acting was a high hurdle for me to get over.
Civil War - Good documentary. Oh wait. It was not a fun watch, but glad I finally got around to giving it a watch.
A Field in England - was hoping for Eggers vibes but it was more "student film" vibes. Some genuinely funny moments, but overall it was a miss for me.
Film Geek - nice little doc about a film director's love of films and his father growing up.
