Topic: Movie thread.

@OctolingKing13 I was reminded of the movie when I saw them advertising it on Max a few days before it arrived, and its maybe one of the best stupidly unserious movies I’ve ever seen, and just so entertaining to watch. Really glad I avoided spoilers because seeing it was freaking hilarious.

And I also did like the Technoblade reference in there too. I only started watching his videos after he unfortunately passed, and the videos I watched from him were so funny, so seeing them acknowledge him with the brief scene of the pig wearing a crown really put a smile on my face.

I am wondering what direction they’ll take for the sequel. I definitely think Alex will be apart of that one, but it would be cool if they included The End and possibly the Ender Dragon. I thought it felt a bit weird the film didn’t feature The End and how the Enderman was only present in the film for a bit, given the Enderman is a big deal in Minecraft and is extremely popular, but I think they would have had too much to work with if they threw The End in there with the Nether. The End would absolutely be perfect for the sequel!

So is A Minecraft Movie the Napoleon Dynamite of game-to-film adaptations then?

Watched North By Northwest with my family recently; I forgot how good it is! If you are watching with younger kids, there are some tense scenes and a suggestive portion but it doesn't last long. I thrilling Alfred Hitchcock mystery, plus some top-notch Cary Grant acting--overall one of my favorites with him, though Charade might beat it out. Arsenic and Old Lace is another good one with him (definitely a lot less serious and kid-friendly, too).

I watched anime movie CRAYON SHIN-CHAN THE MOVIE: OUR DINOSAUR STORY yesterday at my local cinema and.... It was quite good surprisingly.

I personally not a fan of Crayon Shinchan art style as it looks awful in my opinion, but the storyline of the movie was something intriguing.
I didn't react that much during watching the whole movie, didn't feel want to giggle to see the goofiness of Shinchan doing silly things but there was one scene that made me suddenly dropped my tiny tears to see Nana as the baby Spinosaurus died after sacrificed himself to protect the other characters from the fallen building wall. That was something caught me off guard.
Also, I was surprised to see there was mild BLOOD spurt from Shinchan face after he got scratched by Nana (baby Spinosaurus) and Shinchan just wiped out tiny blood on his face just like it was never happened
The whole storyline was about Living dinosaurs back to alive in dinosaur resort from the idea of Mr Bubble with his franchise Unbelievable. But as the story progress, it revealed the living dinosaurs were actually robots made with AI technology and synthetic skins to make it realistic. As soon his secret got discovered as a LIE, Mr Bubble started to terrorize the whole Japan city by launching his Robo dinosaurs to catch Nana (real baby Spinosaurus) to make clones of Real Dinosaurs and the attempt changed into kidnapping the people's by putting inside giant gacha capsule and they were being forced to watch the performance of Mr Bubble.
This storyline was kinda interesting to realize there was a LIE from the famous things and everytime I watched movie and found something that looked too good to be true, I will suspect there will be something fishy behind.
Anyway, a decent movie in my opinion, not really WOW.
I give the score 7 from 10.
Finally, a decent movie to watch after the terrible movies Paddington at Peru, Snow White 2026, Lilo & Stitch live action and ELIO.
I think I will watch again Shinchan movie this Saturday as Anime movie mostly have very limited schedule at my local cinema XXI so I just keep my eyes on the daily schedule to make sure I can rewatch again at the nearest cinema as possible.
In this case, only one cinema XXI have schedule to play this Shinchan movie.

There's a bit at the end with gunshots in a crowd scene. They had to do extra takes, so you can see a little kid in the crowd stick his fingers in his ears before the gunshots. It's one of the great film bloopers!

Ballerina - I didn't like a lot of the John Wick movies because the action often felt repetitive. But this one has varied and interesting fight scenes. Recommended.

28 Years Later - 5-star trailer. 3-star movie. Recommended.

@MontyCircus Never noticed that before--I'll have to keep an eye out next time!!

I am so looking forward to The Naked Gun! Watched the original films lately and it is so my kind of stupid humour. So much of it is just Dad jokes and puns. Going to rent the original TV show, Police Squad, pretty soon too.

I finally watched Digimon Adventure : Last Evolution Kizuna
No review but I was so close to crying

Saw Superman, was everything I could’ve wanted.

Being in a super rural town means the theater is constantly empty but it makes for some fun pics.

Now i can only pray my goat miles is next, I’d kill for the third spiderverse film to come out.

Oh well perhaps the fantastic four film will deliver. Now here’s the thing…

@Yousef- oh my word YES, BtSV needs to deliver!

@Yousef- Not sure if you already know or not based on how you said it, but BTSV does have a release date. June 4th, 2027 which it will almost certainly hit. I also agree 1000% on Superman. First superhero film in a while I would give a straight 10/10 to. Everyone should go see it, it's incredible.

My lifelong fear of being in water is from watching it too young.

When I dive in Super Mario 64 I still get a feeling of doom come over me.

I don't know how I'm going to get through Subnautica!

Don't forget Abrahams and the Zuckers' original classic: Airplane!

Saw it with the family in theatres a few years ago, and we laughed the whole way through. Still hilarious even 40+ years later.

Yeah it was good. I was worried when that Daily Beast review leaked.

Now i can only pray my goat miles is next, I’d kill for the third spiderverse film to come out.

Loved the first 2 movies. They're impossibly fun. Love how they look just like the comics in so many ways (Kirby Krackle, etc.)

Oh well perhaps the fantastic four film will deliver. Now here’s the thing…

Thunderbolts was well-received. So hopefully they can get 2 in a row right with the biggest MCU movie of the year.

It's not as important to Marvel as the Superman movie was to launch the new DCU, but it is close. If they get it right, then that's momentum going into the new Avengers movies.

@MontyCircus YEP! Saw that too for the first time a few weeks ago. Very funny! There was a sequel, minus Leslie Nielson, which I know was not well thought of, but I want to check it out too anyway. Have you seen that?

There are not enough films in this vein anymore I feel, which is why I am so looking forward to The Naked Gun.

@Mana_Knight

Airplane II was offered to Abrahams and the Zuckers, but they turned it down because they felt they used up all of their airplane-in-trouble material already. They, and Leslie Nielsen, had already moved on to Police Squad!.

I have seen it, but I don't remember if I managed to get through to the end or not. Definitely not recommended.

@MontyCircus Oh, shame.
Well, I still have Police Squad to watch in the near horizon at least.
