Haven't heard of any of them outside of the leprechaun films, police academy and national lampoons.
On those, I've probably seen the police academy ones.
Oh highlander 2 as well, I think, probably not, is that the one with the kurgan?

I can't recall what it was that had 1%...but POLICE ACADEMY 4, ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS, and NEVERENDING STORY PII don't belong on that 0% list!

Saw TOMMOROWLAND finally, and enjoyed it. It's nothing amazing mind you, but a fun flick with a decent message about optmism.

Which is weird, cause it flopped so hard.


Just got done watching Tomorrowland myself. I also enjoyed it, a good bit more than I expected to, with the little I knew about it. I think there's something to be said for the message of the self fulfilling prophecy brought on by dwelling in the negative and material things. And the discouragement of free thinking, independence and individualism.

I watched The Forest, that Natalie Dormer horror flick about the suicide forest. It's about 25% white-people-are-normal-Japanese-people-are-weeeeeird, 75% brain dead generic horror. Like, protagonist ignores all explicit warnings, runs toward evil in the dark level stupid. One extremely cheap jump scare (like youtube prank-style) and absolutely nothing else happens in it, scary or otherwise. It feels edited to death as well, but I'm pretty sure it was dead already.

I give it 0 out of 25 "eww they eat that there?!?!?!"s.

Do yourself a facvour and just watch a regular ass documentary about Aokigahara forest. It's well creepy all on its own.

Just saw Antman. I'm coming from the perspective of not having read more than a handful of comics my whole life so I know little of the intricate details of any of the Superheroes. I've enjoyed to varying degrees the majority of these movies. I found Antman surprisingly entertaining; I enjoyed it quite a lot. I loved the cameo by The Avengers' Falcon. Am I correct that Antman will be re-appearing in future Avengers or Captain America films? And Evangeline Lilly as a version of this "Wasp" could be pretty cool...

He's definitely in the upcoming Captan America: Civil War.

I've also decided, for myself, that Ant-Man is my favourite Superhero movie, for various reasons.
Screw you all, and have a nice day!
