I never thought we'd actually get a genuinely good live-action manga/anime adaptation, let alone one from a Western studio, but here we are. Alita: Battle Angel is ace.

The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Criminally underrated '90s action film, I love it.

Captain Marvel. 3/5. Typical Marvel filler before the main event and the insane hubbub both in praising it AND tearing it down is downright mystifying.

Will look to catch this soon. Guess might as well.

Watched First Man. I a..not so familiar with the NASA space program in the 60s and so not sure how accurate this is but it is worth a watch I think. I enjoyed it.

Also watched the Girl in The Spider's Web. This I thought was really good. Maybe a little unbelievable that one person can do so much but then we have all grown up with James Bond and Jason Bourne. Try and catch it if you can.

I've seen Captain Marvel twice and enjoyed it both times.

Watched Aquaman again over the weekend and I love Amber Heard in that skin tight suit. Good movie too

Triple Frontier with Ben Affleck and Oscar Issac was good! I enjoyed it. Not action heavy, but when there was action, it was done well. I really enjoyed the bond and brotherhood with Affleck and the other guys. Good story.

Liked Captain Marvel a lot, despite being sick to death of origin stories at this point. The pacing is a bit weak in the first half, and it doesn't have a firm enough grasp on the general tone, but the main performances are good enough to mostly cover for that. It doesn't go too heavy on the '90s retro thing either, which is probably for the best even if I'd have liked a little more. Great soundtrack, 'generic orchestral Marvel music' aside.

As with most here, Captain Marvel. I loved it. Easy to watch and no strain or stress.

For the pervert in me, wish she was Ms Marvel with the old costume with the high cut in the leg area and big tits. lol

Being a big time MCU fan, I walked away from Captain Marvel with a headache. It tried to do so many things and failed at most of them. I honestly found nothing redeeming about it and I'm surprised Kevin Feige allowed this on his watch.

Now this is an amazing origin story I can get behind. Love the manga, but seeing Motorball realized was so great.

ADMIN NOTE: Please no politics here. Talk of a movie 'having an agenda' falls under politics. It's fine to criticize it without that.

Saw Us last night and it was amazing! Such great acting from the main cast and while the ending might be a bit predictable, I still didn't see it coming.

Watched '80s classic Miracle Mile with a friend of mine who'd never seen it before, one of those films that works better the less you know going in. Really captures that nightmare feeling of everything just spinning out of your control, not knowing what's going on or what to do. Killer score from Tangerine Dream too.

Watched an old 2000's movie recently, Lakeview Terrace. The movie about a corrupt cop played by Samuel L Jackson harassing an interracial couple. The movie had it's moments and while it is based off something that happened in real life, still found it incredibly unrealistic. The movie is mostly carried by Jackson being a terrifying villain.

Jackson usually does fine work in cheap movies like this.

I remember that movie. I thought it was insanely over the top LOL but enjoyable for the most part.

Shazam. Utterly charming and fun. Sets the high standard for the other super hero films this year. Totally magical.

I agree. Shazam was really fun to watch and is easily in my top superhero movies of 2019.

Also saw Pet Sematary... Didn't really like the original movie, but the remake was fantastic!

The Grinch. A little late but still fun.

And a oldie...the Devil's Own. Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt.
