What's the last movie you've seen?

I watched Beavis and Butt-Head Do America with my parents. I vaguely remember watching it as a kid but didn't get the plot or jokes at the time. I thought it was really funny. XD

I am curious how The Shawshank Redemption is taught in school? I know I'm getting older, but I just remember it being on repeat on TV... for great reason though, its an amazing movie.

But what were your teachers asking of you from this movie for school? I am genuinely interested!

This is one that I still have a hard time believing was written by Stephen King.

It's been years since the class where I watched it, so I honestly couldn't tell you, I just remember there being a whole worksheet involved that we had to answer questions for.

Parkour Civilization 2. The first half was kinda meh, but the second half was again very cool. I had a huge wow! at the end.

Spirited Away, this is my first introduction to Studio Ghibli and an amazing one. Will definetely watch other Ghibli works too later this winter!

I watched Men in Black and also the 2nd one. I only watched the sequel once, but watching it now the plot is really all over the place. It's like they didn't know what to do and then just rewrote entire parts. The 1st was great. The 2nd was pretty bad. There was even a villain and although I didn't care for them at all, they just wrote them out halfway through without an explanation. It was just so bad. I don't even remember noticing that during my first watch.

The first movie aged so much better and was an enjoyable watch.

We haven't started "officially" studying shawshank, my teacher wants to wait until next year to start course work on it because it is an 18s movie and the age range in the class is 15-18 so not wholly ideal (that, or she recently said she might be going to change the comparative texts we'll be doing to the barbie movie and accompanying novels, but she'll see), but she recommended watching it just to have the film seen before we dissect it piece by agonising piece.

As for what we'll need to do with the film itself, we'll have to study it alongside the drama sive and the novel small things like these. Basically we have to learn quotes and scenes, and link them together in essays and such in the leaving cert exam. And if I remember correctly, we also are studying othello, and those books and shawshank will be related to it as well

Re-watched Hereditary! My mom hated it haha

Also paid half-attention to The Godfather last night, one of these days I ought to actually watch that movie

I like it when teachers get creative like that! I have no idea if it is out of laziness, or creativity to keep students interested, but its great!

I had a history professor in college who showed us the movie Dances with Wolves over the course of two classes. Before we started he went on and on about how great the movie was... and then he paused it every few minutes to point out how historically inaccurate it was and taught us the truth. It was so entertaining while also learning!

I've been busy this month, and as such, never got around to posting the final four days of my Halloween horror movie marathon last month. It's been weeks now and it doesn't seem worth it, but since I posted all the other days throughout the month, it would feel weird not to properly conclude it. So, I'll just edit them into my previous post.

Anywho...

Back on Saturday night I watched director Satoshi Kon's 2001 movie Millenium Actress for the first time. Though I've seen a few of Kon's works, I'd never gotten around to this one. Loved it.

Tonight I revisited director Eli Roth's 2023 movie Thanksgiving and director John Hughes' 1987 movie Planes, Trains & Automobiles.

I went to see Predator Badlands last weekend and I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see what's in store for the next movie.

 

[Licorice]

Watched The Dark Crystal last night for the first time in years and it's still 10/10

 

[rrenaa]

Regretting You. I didn’t read the book but the movie was okay and the cast was solid. I just didn’t like how the mom was constantly upset with Clara and never tried to communicate normally.

i watched five nights at freddy’s 2 last night. i thought it was good.

Spoiler: ramblings… MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!

most critics gave this movie a bad rating and i’m not sure why because i think that it’s a satisfying sequel to the first movie.

i like how it’s a lot scarier than the first one and ngl this movie was kind of pushing the PG-13 rating because there was one scene where mangle killed someone and you could hear their bones crunching.

however, my only complaint about this movie is the fact that the schmits and vanessa got a lot of screen time without the animatronics. like, they didn’t show the toy animatronics until halfway through the movie.

also, i would have liked it if there were more scenes set in 1982 when the initial incident happened.

Of Mice and Men, Stuart Little, Stuart Little 2, Charlotte's Web (both the animated and live action movies)

And lastly, I saw The Prince of Egypt, which I've never seen before but heard it was good. It was.

That one scene was pretty intense. Actually, several scenes were intense, but they were also really good. I kinda laughed at some parts because I tend to laugh when I find something intense and brutal, lol

I watched a few Christmas classics. I didn't do that last year or the year before that, but I always wanted to and time would just slip by and then Christmas was over. So it was nice to take time to relax and just enjoy the movies.

Hot Tub Time Machine 1 & 2

I don't know how or why, but I'm a sucker for these really stupid comedies.

never had seen that until recently. it was so stupid but actually pretty funny

didnt realize theres a sequel!

The last movie I watched was The Housemaid, I didn't know it was based off of a book/series so thankfully I didn't try to compare the two and see what was the same/different. I really enjoyed the movie, I thought the acting was great and it didn't feel like a long movie (even though it was.)

My mom read the book, and maybe it's sequal. She said the book was really good. We will wait for it to stream before watching.

The last movie for me was the Muppet Christmas Carol. My family has just over a year now, gotten into the habit of watching one movie a week, each of us choosing in rotation. It was my choice, so I chose that. Next week is my moms choice, then the week after my dad's then my choice again.

I apologize for the long review of a Christmas classic, and my view may not be accepted well

I watched Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and wow it was not what I remembered as a kid! I am referring to the 1964 stop action film. I thought it was going to be a trip down memory lane and nostalgia from when I was a child... but instead I realized how awful the characters are in the movie! I get the other young Reindeer poking fun because kids dont think and can be hurtful... but my mind was blown when Santa walked up to Donner, Rudolph's dad, and said he should be ashamed. What?!

I kept my hopes up, but another thing I forgot about was the fact that Rudolph wasnt even welcome on the Land of Misfit Toys, because he wasn't a toy! He is rejected by an entire island of misfits!

I know the story ends well with Rudolphs red nose saving Christmas, but what a horrible bunch of characters other than Clarice, and the elf with dreams of being a dentist (I didn't catch his name). Yukon Cornelius was accepting of his traveling mates, but even he was just all about silver and gold.

I feel like the true victim here was the Abominable Snowman! He was just hungry and doing his thing in the frozen wild, and the main characters dropped a boulder on his head and pulled out all of his teeth and punched him off of a cliff.

Am I overthinking this movie?
