Last movie I watched was 'Me Before You'. 100/10, it was one of the most beautiful, funny, unconventional movies I've ever seen. I completely fell in love with it.

i watched TEKKEN 2 today. it actually had nothing to do with the first Tekken film, which i thought was very well put together. the second one focused on the main character discovering his hidden past the he lost his memory to. i don't think it was better than the first one. i think it was a failed attempt at going further with the franchise as a movie from an Indy film standpoint.

I haven't had very good luck with movies lately, I don't know why. The last movie I saw was 6 Underground on Netflix. I have to say I wasn't expecting much from the start (honestly I didn't remember who the director was until I started to see all the unnecesary explosions, boring jokes and sudden sex scenes) but I decided to give it a shot anyways. Big mistake... Had to stop watching after an hour. The plot is extremely confusing, and honestly, it seems like Netflix is making it look greater than it is in the synopsis.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some angsty people with exceptional qualities who don't belong anywhere else and call each other by numbers (The Umbrella Academy, for example.) But this was out of my reach.

Ryan Reynolds plays the role (once again) of an obnoxious, sarcastic and annoying millionaire. I could even see the resembling to his character in Green Hornet. A great cast, and lot of good publicity and advertising for a terrible movie. I thought Ryan Reynolds had learned his lesson already... :?

Little I rate it 3 out of 4 stars. It was hilarious and it had a cool message.

I watched Megamind again a few weeks ago and it's still a five. The writers for that movie must be an amazing group of people. It's so charming.

Aladdin 2019 movie. I love how different the story line looks from the animation. The script writer did an amazing job with the flow of the movie.

Also side note: these smilies are giving me a little nostalgia throwback of early 2000s with AOL and Yahoo IM :D :tiphat:
I enjoyed Rocketman but I'm not a huge fan of musicals on the screen (on stage they're fine). I prefer the way Bohemian Rhapsody was handled which was more of a documentary format. But I found the stories behind the songs interesting and I loved how Bernie Taupin was portrayed.

The most recent music-related movie I've seen is Blinded by the Light. It Light is a coming-of-age story of Javed, the only son of conservative Pakistani immigrants, in 1980s Britain. From a young age Javed has found solace from his restrictive upbringing in writing. But when his talent is discovered and encouraged by one of his teachers, it only serves to highlight his limited options. His parents have long had his career planned out, and it doesn’t involve creative writing. As Thatcherite policies impact the family fortunes, he is more than ever, under pressure to contribute to the welfare of his parents and siblings. Javed is on the brink of despair, about to throw in the towel, when he is introduced to the music of “The Boss”, Bruce Springsteen. I'd rate it five stars.

I just saw John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum. I really enjoyed the first two. This one was okay but not as good as the first two. If they come out with another one, I don't know if I will bother watching it. In my opinion, I am giving it 6 out of 10.

I went to see 'Just Mercy' in theaters this week and loved it! I was motivated to go see it because I read the book (Just Mercy) over the summer and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is so great to see a movie that does a book justice. Plus, it's all based on a real story of criminal justice reform.
I give it a 8.5/10, mostly because the messages and realities of the movie were so true.

Understandable 😊 Blinded By the Light looks really good! I love Bruce Springsteen, he will always be The Boss, and the movie looks like it has a good story.
There definitely is a different kind of format between Bohemian and Rocketman, one being a bio pic and the other that but also a musical.

Last movie I saw.... Zombieland Double Tap.

Its nothing deep or intriguing, but its comical and easy. I enjoyed it! Love the line up of actors and actresses and the story line was funny and up to standard for the genre.
