Some movies watched in 2022

Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) - Yeah it's really good. Very visually inventive, looks more impressive than many blockbuster movies on a fraction of the budget. Very funny in places but also sweet! The butt plug bit was funny then just went to hysterical when the other guy slow motion dived onto it.

I don't think the hot dog fingers universe would really happen though!
 
No Time To Die (2021) - I never watched Spectre because everyone said it wasn't very good. I probably should have because this was pretty much a direct sequel, but I feel Bond movies should be able to stand on their own. The first half is good. The fun stuff was fun (and mostly in the first half.) There's some really nice looking action and chases and stuff. He has a care with a button labelled "SMOKE" and he presses it and there's smoke (that's fun!) Ana de Armas shows up for 15 minutes and is great and the sequence with her is by far the best part of the movie. But maaaan I found it hard to care about Bond's boring unexpressive wife and the "CAN HE TRUST HER" stuff. I get that it goes back to Eva Green betraying him in Casino Royale but it was so much better there (because Eva Green.) Then Rami Malek's villain finally shows up and he's awful? Like all he does is speak in a stereotypical VILLAIN VOICE. He makes a hilariously bad "we're not so different you and I!" speech to Bond and I was like no! You actually are quite different! He's only in like three scenes! I don't even know what his plan was! Just kill a load of people? Was there a writers' strike when they were halfway through writing the script? Bond dying (spoilers!) felt kind of tacked on too. Craig did a good job but it felt like they were just killing him because it was his last movie and they could. So yeah the whole thing should have been Daniel Craig, Lashan Lynch and Ana de Armas travelling the world and getting into scrapes and winking at each other and stuff.
 
Clerks 3, not sure it would work if you haven't seen the other two, but if you have it's an excellent end to the trilogy.
 
Ooh that makes sense. It is an enjoyable movie, I recommend it.

Ijust watched The Corpse Bride. Hadn't heard of it until I saw the costume at the Halloween store.

 
X (2022) - I don't watch a lot of horror movies. I don't know why; I just don't. I enjoyed this one though! I heard it was good so I watched it. A group of people travel to a remote farm to film a porn movie and run into a creepy as fuck elderly couple. I liked that it took quite a long time developing the characters before the killings started. They mostly didn't just feel like they only existed to die. It manages to walk a line between making you feel bad for them while, at the same time, some of the deaths are quite funny (the aligator...) Mia Goth is great in dual roles and really a large part of why the movie is so good. It probably also comments on the horror genre itself, porn and sexuality, and the ravages of age! It's good!
 
Morbius, it's bad, I mean I expected it to be, but I wasn't prepared for just how bad it would be.

Noone is likeable, characters are bland and actors are wasted, the post credits scenes make no sense.
 
I felt like I might watch it one day just to see how bad it and because Adria Arjona is in but I probably won't.

I will check it out.
Reminds me of a movie where a mom drops off her kids at thier grandparents who they are just meeting for the first time-but thier grandparents are dead and whoever these fuckers are, they are evil.
So I mean there is no porn, but it is a remote farm!
I like the part where the kids are like, "We are in the kitchen baking w/ grandma! and they show the mom the grandma and the mom is like, "KIDS! THAT IS NOT YOUR GRANDMA!"

srsly wtf bad parenting horror film.
 
Unbearable weight of talent, the Nic Cage film.

It's pretty good, not 90s Nic Cage good, but better than most of his straight to dvd shit.

The lost city.

Yes it is very similar to romancing the stone, but it's a fun enough film.

I haven't watched the movie yet, but I watched some promo interviews on YouTube with Daniel Radcliffe and Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum and they are hilarious and a little precious. I'm afraid to watch the movie in case it's not as funny as the interviews.
