I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.
Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.
Weekend at Bernie’s, I really like it.
The new Total Recall. It’s a fun ride.
I adore the original, but I’ll die on the hill that the Total Recall remake is great fun and worth watching.
I thought it was good as a serious sci-fi movie; but I still prefer the campy-ass original as an action/comedy.
Empire Records is a 5 ⭐ film, yet holds a 35% rotten tomatoes score.
But 85% audience score. Critics seems to love to hate on those types of teen movies. Can’t Hardly Wait has 43%.
- Michael Mans ‘Miami Vice’ 2006. Absolute shit rating is probably to hard, but the reviews back then were underwhelming (I remember ‘style over substance’ as a quote)
- The original XXX with Vin Diesel. It feels that nobody got the joke, that it is a parody of the James Bond movies, although a James Bond look alike literally gets killed within the first scenes of the movie…
Dr Suess The Cat in The Hat with Mike Myers
Has anyone mentioned “the room”? Im gonna reccommend it. It’s so bad, it’s good.
Not the worst rating at around a 60% on Rotten Tomatoes and around a 6.5 on IMBD, but I absolutely without question love An American Tail: Fievel Goes West.
Definitely a fun “sequel” with a lighter tone than the original. Though I will definitely say the Native American mice scenes are definitely outdated and a product of their time if you ask me.
Bloodsport.
What a great movie! It was also well received by the audience not critics 0, was a financial success and kickstarted Jean-Claude Van damme’s career.
Let’s not even talk about the soundtrack conceivably one of the best pieces of written music ever made.
(Anybody who’s actually ever listen to the soundtrack is currently nodding their heads)
Great recommendations in here. One thing that surprised me personally was
civil war (2024)
great movie, had a blast. Was surprised rotten tomatoes / IMDb seemed to hate it.
I wouldn’t say 81% fresh and a 7/10 are necessarily bad. I might rate it a little higher personally, but those are decent scores.
Though as Coaxil says, given curent events I’m not sure I can ever re-watch it. :(
Oh cool, its audience score seems to have improved considerably compared to last time I checked‽ That is good news for the filmmakers.
the hitting close to home part - yeah I get it. If you are in a red state I hope you stay safe and find a way out of the situation. It sucks so bad if the government stops working for you.
My running theory on this is the Americans really didn’t like how close it hits home/stings, and just gave it a bad rating
Does Borat the original count?
Tommy boy got shit on by siskel and ebert, which is why I never trust their reviews. That movie is a 10.
Dragonheart (1996)
Godzilla (1998)
Aeon Flux (2005)
Next (2007) - thought it was funny
3 Ninjas (1992) - classic
The Day After Tomorrow - It’s campy but underrated
Despite not rewatching this movie in over a decade, I think about it monthly.
How is this movie underrated?? It’s popular af!
Had one gag that made me literally LOL… intentionally…
They’re trapped in a library, debating the morality of burning books in the fireplace to stay alive.
“How about all these tax books, can we burn these?”
