Be Kind Rewind - Very lovely comedy that appeals to people nostalgic for VHS. It's also a love letter to movie buffs and people who made movies with cheap and old equipment during their youth. A nice cast too, with Jack Black still in his quirky fun period, before he just became a soundbite machine.
 
Mother's Day (1980). Basically prototypical Troma. It's stupid, cheap, and filthy. But I liked it. Not as much as Troma classics like The Toxic Avenger, but still decent.
 
Just saw the live action remake of Lilo & Stitch, and can confirm it's another cash-grabbing remake that's not as good as the original.

Although I think
what they did with the Portal gun in the movie shows potential for a possible Portal movie.

Mickey 17 - A major reminder from this is that amazing filmmakers can make simply good movies. Mickey 17 is a simply good movie. It doesn't touch the majesty of Parasite, The Host, or Memories of Murder. Easily the best thing about it is Robert Pattinson's dual performance, the guy is one of the best actors today. What would've made Mickey 17 better is just one more editing pass. It's a little too long, things get repetitive in the third act, things are disjointed in the second half, and there's at least one character who was seemingly going to be very important but was an afterthought later on. Still a good movie, first one released this year I've seen.

Rumble in the Bronx - One of Jackie Chan's best 90s movies. Maybe in the top 10 of all Jackie movies. Top 20 at least. A total blast from start to finish with a surprisingly solid and somewhat heartfelt story. The third act is simply breathtaking.
 
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) - First time watching a TMNT movie, I never really got into the franchise as a kid. Better late than never, at least with this movie. I was very surprised at how effective the movie was. I thought it was going to be a big bag of cheese, but charming. There was some cheese, it was charming, but it also had a surprising amount of emotional weight, great fight sequences and stunt work, and a gritty urban atmosphere. It's a movie for bigger kids, but the craft on display can please older people. Not to mention the incredible puppets and animatronics from Jim Henson's Creature Shop. So yeah, a great movie.
 
Sinners - The hype was real with this one. This was an incredible movie. Strong cast, great acting, delightful gore, perfect pacing, fantastic cinematography, nice sound design, passionate writing and directing, and an absolutely divine score. 10/10 would recommend.
 
I watched Robocop, the "new" one, I downloaded all of them and got it by accident. It wasn't bad, I mean to the original, sure it wasn't great, but compared to two and three... Second best movie in the franchise IMO.

I also downloaded all Mel Brooks movies, while none of them are really jam packed with hilarity, all of them have at least some lines that are so great it stays with you forever.

Also watched Blues Brothers, as funny as SNL, i.e not funny at all. That fucking movie is two and a half hours long and I had two chuckles throughout. When Carrie Fisher launches a rocket and they just dust the gravel from their suits that was funny and for whatever reason when Dan Akroyd says "Whe are on a mission from God" that cracks me up.

:tpi::rofl2::rofl2: Mel Brooks Productions. I forgot the title of one where the man punches the horse. Even the rest of it was Hilarious. Good choice.

Goodfellas - My favorite Scorsese film. The subject matter is very serious, but I found the movie hilarious. The laughs I had from this movie rival comedies. Joe Pesci was a big reason for the laughs, but the whole execution of the movie somehow sets up many scenes to land on a comedic note. It's a very energetic movie thanks to Scorsese's propulsive directing, rich dialogue, and the acting from the male leads, Paul Sorvino, and Lorraine Bracco. The soundtrack is also super loaded. Holy crap, wall to wall amazing music. There were also long takes in this that make this movie ahead of its time because long takes became more common since Birdman. This movie is sometimes put up against The Godfather. Without a doubt, I go with Goodfellas. Revisiting this movie made me realize that Goodfellas is a top 10. Maybe even a top 5. I hold it in a similar regard to Pulp Fiction, a movie I know so well and has become comfort food. Easy 10/10.

Blazing Saddles. Yeah, my favorite scene is when the new sheriff is trying to get to know The Waco Kid (Gene Wilder) and asks him what he likes to do and he replies "play chess... and screw.", and the sheriff looks at him and goes "Well let's play chess."

I only remember "Make the coffee to go.", after he's executed someone... But also when Henry is bringing silencers to Jimmy and none of them fits and he tells him to lay off the drugs "it's turning your brain to mush.", I'm not sure if it's intended to be funny or not, but it is.

Great movie, I remember first time I saw it Tommy was a character who was uncomfortable for me to watch for being so unpredictable and violent, don't think I laughed at anything throughout the movie that time.
 
Saw Mission Impossible Final Reckoning the other night because I had some free tickets.

For those who care about the plot, an evil AI wants to kill most of the population and rule over it's cult survivors.....so Skynet but without the robots.

Overall I enjoyed it, although due to a recent first aid course I did I ended up thinking about the various injuries throughout the film.

That said, the cinema wanted £17 for a large popcorn and drink which I thought was a mistake at first. I ended up getting a small since I needed a drink (still £6 or £7) and used the price difference to buy an actual meal afterwards.
 
Ninja III: The Domination
Last time I saw this movie was almost 30 years ago.
OHHH! I want to rewatch that movie, so wild. That movie epitomized Cannon Films.

Friday the 13th (1980) - Tom Savini's FX and Harry Manfredini's score carry this movie. I don't think it holds up very well compared to John Carpenter's Halloween, which it ripped off, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. I consider it a rough draft of 80s slasher movies. Still good, the positives outweigh the negatives, but it drags and some other things would be improved upon in some of the sequels.

Friday the 13th Part 2 - Slightly better than the first movie, though honestly, I came away from this viewing liking the first one a bit more and now lean on these first 2 movies being neck and neck. Still slow, doesn't have Tom Savini's magic, so the gore isn't as dazzling. But more sleaze with the nudity, a more likable cast of characters, and the debut of adult Jason. I consider it the 2nd rough draft of 80s slasher movies.

Friday the 13th Part 3 - Jason is more fully realized thanks to the introduction of the mask and a stronger display of stunts. The gore is solid, the pacing is better than the previous 2 movies, and there are some funny moments. The cast is weaker than the 2nd movie, the final girl is okay, but in my current revisiting of the franchise, I find Ginny from Part 2 as the best final girl in the series. That could change. The music still slaps, and a funny addition was the disco-sounding song in the opening credits, which also was used briefly in the movie. This is one of the better sequels, though not on the upper echelon. More in the middle, but still some high praise for it.

Blow Out - Fantastic Brian De Palma movie with one of John Travolta's best performances. This was during the period where he was taking a lot of inspiration (ripping off) from Alfred Hitchcock. There are also some Giallo vibes to this and now after watching this, I believe it had to have inspired Ti West when he did MaXXXine. I figured that movie owed itself to De Palma. Having already seen Dressed to Kill and Body Double, I'm now more sure De Palma was an inspiration. I'm also more sure that De Palma was on a fiery run in the 70s and 80s. The movie does get a little silly and the score might be a mixed bag, but the good parts of this movie are fucking awesome. 9/10

Yeah, got that movie somewhere :evil:.
But the Dutch subtitle can need some improvements.
Anyway yesterday I rewatch a classic The Lost Boys after all those years is very nice movie.
