@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I forgot about this one, and I never seen a trailer to it. I actually can't get used to hearing Pauly Shore voicing Pinocchio, lol.

Probably the most famous anime film I've never seen, until now that is.
Not exactly sure what I was expecting, but it was a bit slower than I'd imagined. That said it was gorgeously animated and the pacing must have worked well as I absolutely teared up during the climax. I can only imagine it would have been a favorite of mine growing up if I'd gotten to it earlier.

Watched The Grinch again, but on DVD. Did an encore, and watched it with mom since the theater trip was just me and my friend.
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Yeah, doesn't look like something I'd watch either, this is coming from a guy who enjoys adaptations of Pinocchio and animated stuff.
@RR529 Another one I need to watch, have a feeling I will someday since my friend is getting me into the Studio Ghibli movies.

Watched Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio tonight, liked it. Felt good watching something with stop motion in it too. Will admit, the scenes of war was not something I expected from Pinocchio, and I did find the ending sad. Everyone dies and Pinocchio lives forever, that's what I'm getting from it. Then again, I've always been a happy ending kind of guy. Especially since you grow to like Pinocchio, Geppetto, and Sebastian. Still, a very good version of the classic tale and enjoyed my time with it.
I know people are gonna compare this and the Disney one, for me personally, I like both movies.
Christmas Carol Goes Wrong
I just discovered this. Ohh, will that cast ever get it right!?π
For US, it's free via Roku channel, possibly Tubi (steaming app). Also youtube
After Adam Savage (of MythBusters) recently showed this weird robot on his youtube channel. I had see it. So, I watched wierd-looking Return to Oz via Disney+.
Rewatched Toy Story 3 for the first time in a while and I felt like crying all over again. I think 4 is a great movie with stellar animation and a fun story....but man 3 is just animated perfection in my eyes, one of my favourite movies ever made.

Avatar: the Way of Water (IMAX 3D) - the blue cat people are back, now joined by new & improved green cat-fish people.
First time I've ever been to an IMAX screening, and this was an absolutely magnificent theatre experience.
Story was pretty simple in themes like the first (family drama, can't run away from your problems, obvious environmental angle), however it worked to hold things together, though there were a few interesting wrinkles as well. Without getting into spoiler territory, they made a decision about a certain character I wasn't expecting them to commit on, and in expecting sequels one of their adopted kids (Kiri) has a mysterious origin & abilities that weren't fully explored here.
Of course being an Avatar movie it was absolutely triumphant from a technical & visual standpoint. I'm a bit undecided on how I feel about the enhanced framerate (not that it's an inherent negative, but at times it felt like a video game cutsene, albiet one several generations ahead of what's currently available), however the 3D is magical and a few steps above found in the original. From an aesthetic/artistic perspective I'm not sure how they're going to top the underwater scenes in this one though. It often felt like a religious experience & I want to give a special shout-out to a scene from inside a mini sub who'se immersion was bordering on what VR provides.
Really interested in how it's going to hold up in a 2D home viewing though. While the climax is an absolute tour de force that'll probably still entertain in that inferior viewing arrangement, the middle of the film (where the family is learning "the Way of Water"β’) I could see being a lot slower without that 3D magic elevating it.
Also, crab mechs.

He was 90, but Mike Hodges, has died. Poss one of the greatest directoral debuts.
If you've never seen it, it's unlike the 90s British gangster films - sleazy, grimy, amoral, with a cold, black heart. One of the best films every made
Well I didn't really watch much from this year but if I had to pick one, I'd probably go with The Bad Guys. Excellent animation and style, fun characters and some absolutely fantastic action/comedy come together to make what is probably my favourite Dreamworks movie since How to Train Your Dragon (especially that scene at the end with Snake holy s*** my jaw dropped to the floor with that one). Would highly recommend watching it!
