    The live action Chip N’ Dale Rescue Rangers remake on Disney+ is SOOOOOO much better than it has any right to be.

    It should be terrible, unwatchable, irredeemable garbage.

    It is probably one of the best “kids” movies I’ve seen in the last decade.

    Alita: Battle Angel.

    The film looks stupid because they gave the main character giant anime eyes.

    In the context of the film it makes sense and I think the look is meant to mirror the anime it is from… but for the film it still makes the film look stupid. Now the film itself is far from perfect, there is at least one storyline that is utter dogshit. However! The film ultimately was solid.

    Sadly it ends setting up future films that will never happen, but I think it’s still enjoyable overall.

    The Lost City with Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, and Daniel Radcliffe. It seems like a tropey romance-action flick, but is more a parody of genre clichés. The writing, acting, and humour are pretty good.

    We were having a movie night in our neighborhood a few years back where we got a bedsheet and a cheap projector. We hooked it up to a laptop to project a movie on someone’s garage for the neighborhood kids.

    We ended up projecting The Lego Movie and most of the kids lost interest about half an hour in - and were falling asleep and ready to go home.

    I’ll be damned if it wasn’t one of the best animated movies I’ve ever seen. I sent my wife home with our youngest just so I could stay and finish the movie.

      I watched it yesterday for the 2nd time (first time with my son). We laugh, we cried, we danced, we were shouting out loud and watched final battle standing on our feet. I unironically think it’s an excellent sport movie.

    Alien vs. Predator… Lance Henrickson and a cast of nobodies with an intersting plot. I went in expecting full-on crap and got a real banger instead.

    Last year’s The Beekeper starring Jason Statham was honestly the best action movie I’ve seen in years. Phenomenal movie

    Honestly, princess bride. I’m usually not all that into rom com type movies, but princess bride is a masterpiece

      I thought it would be a parody of Barbie but its actually a parody of Mattel and shows how men can be confused in this world. It’s a real movie for all the bros out there. Its the kind of movie I’ll watch again later because its good.

      Just saw this a few months ago. And gotta agree. It’s a solid flick. Nothing crazy ambitious, but told a story that seems pretty haunting in the past few months.

    Swiss Army Man - Daniel Redcliffe with farting as a superpower. Sounds ridiculous but really fun to watch.

    A Knight’s Tale. Not only is it a good movie but it was my introduction to Paul Bettany and Alan Tudyk and they were brilliant in it.

      While simultaneously being a dumb stoner movie. Don’t tell me it wasn’t, cause I still am!
