More like a documentary: Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau it basically tells the story of how the movie The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996) was produced. Let's say a lot of weird stuff happened and I can really recommend the documentary.

The Mask is sssssmokin'!
Watched the Waterboy again.
Sad they don't make good comedy movies anymore. Would recommend it. Recently watched America Pie too. Quality film.
The last kids movie: The Incredibles 2, great as always, and highly recommended along with the 1st. Very excited for the 3rd.
The last non-kids movie: The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. I recommend this to anyone who likes movies similar to The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Everyone in it does a great job and is interested that it is based on a true story, albeit embellished, but also the basis and inspiration for the James Bond books.
Thor 1. i thought it was great. very shakespearian
Perfect Days 2023
Excellent movie, simple story showing his simple every day life. It goes through his life, doing what he likes, and shows stories that happens every day.
Zoolander. It's nice to finally see the film that created a bunch of memes, most notably "What is this? A center for ants?!"
I can recommend it as a well-made comedy/satire. It didn't feel like anything groundbreaking. Maybe it was at the time of its release, I really don't know, but as far as I'm concerned its popularity is just luck of the draw
Ben Stiller seems to have a track record of playing characters where he is the butt of the jokes and I really appreciate that. His catalog of roles is a great starting point for a list of comedy gold movies.
The Debt.
A Mossad team is tasked to retrieve a Nazi war criminal that is living in East Germany and get it to Israel.
I would recommend it.
A Family Affair (2024) Zac Efron, I expected background noise and got a surprisingly good movie.
Sasquatch Sunset.
Amazing photography. But disturbing. Would not recommend.
Wrath of the Titans.
Twisters. The twist at the end when 2 twisters became 4 twisters got me going! Ate twizzlers the whole time. spoiler: the guy with the big white teeth gets the lady
The Last Breath, it's dreadful. 💀 I wanted for it to end. So badly... 😭.
I am currently watching Invasion USA on MST3K as I scroll. Or does the fact it's MST3K make it count as a TV episode? 🤔
Today, logan Kinda goofy cgi and stunts at the start
But stories pretty good
Tuesday
Absolutely. It’s wild and heartfelt and weird and thoughtful and disturbing.
I finally watched Caché by Michael Haneke. It was a lot different and puzzling than I expected.
Foe.
I just watched it because there was nothing else. I didn't expect to like it.
It made me sad, but I think it was worth watching.
The instigators
Spiderman no way home, at the theater.
Someone here uploaded the trailer to Miami Connection awhile back and it was an absolute revelation.
Waves (2019)
Exceptional movie. Highly recommend
