Novocaine - it was OK. Amusing enough to recommend.

Bullet Train - loved this. Highly recommended.

Uncut gems - not my thing. I'm always willing to watch an A24 movie. I can see what they were going for..... But not my thing.

Drop - this was a turd.

A Nice Indian Boy - amusing. Average. They didn't really go terribly deep, but it's nice as a light movie.

I watched Minecraft this weekend and honestly didn’t like it. I wish the issues between Jason Momoa and Jack Blacks characters resolved a lot faster. The young boy was fairly annoying. The two girls were entertaining but missing for a large chunk of the middle of the film.

I can’t believe the movie made 940 million.

Sorcerer. Remake of "Wages Of Fear." Four desperate men have to drive two trucks full of unstable dynamite across the jungle.

Got several Rifftrax and, armed with that, finally worked up the courage to watch Old. Left me speechless. The amateurishness of the writing was astonishing. So, so, so many things wrong with it and I don't even necessarily include the basic premise of "beach that makes you old". I watch Doctor Who religiously, I can deal with weird nonsense.

Maybe at least hint at the big thing that is vitally important to the plot being there at some point before it becomes relevant and you reveal it out of absolutely nowhere? Seems like basic writing rules.

Hair and nails may be technically "dead" but there's living cells that produce the material and would obviously continue doing so. If you're trying to address your (many) plot holes and inconsistencies, do think your solution through.

Who the fuck came up with the idea that cells in children's bodies need to be fed because they're still growing while adults only "age" and don't grow new cells so adults wouldn't need food? What? That's not how that works? If you're grasping at straws to explain your shit, don't bring it up at all.

And stop making your characters say what is happening. Oh emm gee. Seriously. Staaahp. Is this one of those movies that I'm supposed to watch while looking at my phone?

The Rifftrax helped me through the thing, as expected.

I haven't yet but planning to watch Kpop Demon Hunters later this week(end) with my wife. Looks like a fun romp.

It was better than I expected. Obviously not a masterpiece or anything, but it was a fun watch especially if you're familiar with how the kpop industry operates.

Good to know! Wasn't expecting a masterpiece. I'll be happy with a good, fun movie with some nice animation
