Soooo.... with both Decetive Picachu and Sonic lioned up for release soon, is this Nintendo's version of Marvel's 'Phase one' and are we working towards a Smash Brothers franchise...?

Replace that pen with a scalpel and replace the games with karaoke and we've got Jigglysaw

Watched creed 2. I liked it. Sometimes I really appreciate Michael b Jordan, sometimes I really don’t. For this movie it was the former. Dolph does well too, and Stallone can still play rocky just fine.

I don't think this is a spoiler but I heard that some people might get shot in that film...

Crazy Rich Asians is a very enjoyable movie. Michelle Yeo is an immortal treasure and I'll watch anything she's in forever.

My friend worked with her behind the scenes on STAR TREK: DISCOVERY and said she was a constant, and absolute delight in person. Humble, wonderfully knowledgable, and interesting.

I rewatched Into the Spider-verse. It's hard to sum up how good that movie is so I'll let Movies with Mikey do some of it instead (there are spoilers):

John Wick 3 trip report: Jabroni is excellent as always, 0 was a little too jokey for me and wasn't as good a villain as the first two films had, the gunfights were excellent if a leeeeeetle wasteful on bullets and shells, the story had some rough parts (but just remember that one pigeon) and someone managed to resurrect Halle Berry!

[Coco with marshmallows]

John Wick 3 was excellent as an action movie, Halle Berry was surprisingly kick ass, and as for her two back ups in the fight scenes.... phenomenal stuff.

It's amazing to me just how a third film in a series can come in with something new when it comes to action scenes rather than just re-hashing stuff from the first two, but there are a BUNCH of scenes from start to end that impressed me as much as anything i've seen.

Plot is, as ever, paper thin, but the action is absolutely 10/10

I am really excited for the new Godzilla. The trailers look awesome.

Umm I’m trying to watch Ready Player One. IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT THOUGH! Giving me a headache!

It doesn't just look like shit, it IS shit.

@Ando
Agreed, looks like a lot of over the top monster carnage fun.

I don't think this trailer looks bad at all. I also don't see why this film is necessary.

Why do they continue to try and make a sci-fi horror film into an action summer blockbuster movie?

Also, I think the terminators lose some of their awe and horror when they're too well designed. The body horror element and the psychological WTF element is lost.

I still think the idea you had a couple years back works better.

Whole thing is just a horror movie with a seemingly unstoppable/supernatural killer.

Eventually they kill it, police report states its a robot. Gets broadcast on the news and a scene similar to the end of Split happens, but with Linda Hamilton reacting.

[Aptorian]

Aye but that's asking a lot of Hollywood.

Mary Poppins Returns - quite good, strong songs, but two things bugged me. The first is that there's a lot of mountain biking going on, which didn't need to happen. The second is that Lin-Manuel Miranda had zero chemistry with Emily Mortimer. Emily Blunt should be a way bigger movie star than she is - can sing, dance, act, and shoot the hell out of stuff.

John Wick 3 - excellent, excellent action, held together by a loose plot. I didn't like the resurrection of one character, but it's ok. I liked this less than the second one, but feel like the series embraced enough locale shifts to be able to move elsewhere and stay fresh.

How to Train Your Dragon 3: I skipped over earlier mentions of this, so apologies if I'm repeating other people's thoughts, but this movie didn't make a whole lot of sense. It had some good ideas, character moments, and even visuals, but it strung them together in ways that undercut the overall logic of what was happening and dulled the urgency and emotional impact. That said, there were a few standout scenes that are among the best in the series, and Toothless remains adorable. Mixed bag.

Have you guys ever seen a movie called Battle Royale? Damn, that was messed up. Not being familiar with the movie (or read any background going in prior to viewing), I was shocked by the violence.

The showdown between Hirono and Mitsuko was my favorite. Damn, I knew Mitsuko would get far, she was my favorite. But yeah, it was pretty obvious who was going to be standing at the end.

Never trust an exchange student. I recognized the actress from Kill Bill.




Fun fact: it's the main inspiration for the popular video game trend that has captivated every video gamer between the ages of 8 and 20 - a la 'Fortnite'.

This movie should be compulsory for every student to watch each graduation season. It would give them that 'take no prisoners' attitude they will need to be successful in the real world as they spread their wings and advance to the next phase of their lives.

Are you serious? Battle Royale is a classic! So much so that the Hunger Games woman was almost accused of plagiarism.

Just don't watch the follow up it's not nearly as good.
