Loved the shit out of the Mario movie. Loved the references, easter eggs, IRL old music choices, the philosophical Luma, Jack Black as Bowser (those fucking songs), how they made you not care in like 2 minutes that Charles Martinet wasn't the voice, and how it was only 90ish minutes so by the end you wanted more. Favourite Easter Eggs

Independence Day - Resurgence Doesn't work as well without Will Smith, charismatic actors to be a new generation, and humans having hybrid alien technology. Cool Star Wars pew pew pew fights tho

I, Robot Was aight. Played with sci-fi concepts that had been done to death even by 2004 nevermind today but I like Asimov shit and there was certainly Asimov style shit in here (detectives working through mystery murders involving robots that can't murder due to the Three Laws of Robotics) The action probably wasn't needed but it didn't hurt, I guess. It's also always funny watching movies involving AI where apparently Terminator 2 and The Matrix never happened and everyone's all just "Come on, fool, robots can't hurt people ever for any reason, how could you ever dream up something silly like that?" Oh, I don't know I watch blockbuster sci-fi movies once in awhile, coach

Independence Day Still fun, still the right blend of "this is silly but they're also taking it serious and it works both ways". Lot of almost-bad CGI that still somehow holds up (explosions look slightly fake and there was a few moments where they noticeably cut corners but it holds up pretty well), lot of corded telephones, lot of stereotypes (could you image people still thinking the office of the President of the United States is one for distinguished high-class people only?). Still lol at seeing Data as the Area 51 scientist. You couldn't convince me that Jeff Goldblum even to this day has ever used a computer of any type, but you could convince me that he was self-conscious next to Will Smith and overdid his sashaying when they were walking back from the crashed UFO. Probably the best/most realistic part of the movie was the news report where police were asking the American people to not shoot at the UFOs with their handguns because it might cause an interstellar war.

Nah I had a lot of fun with it. Legit was less bored than the first Avengers movie while watching it and most of the stuff I didn't like at first had grown on me over the three hours

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Extended Edition Cool asf tbh

Man of Steel Someone really wanted to remake Independence Day but had to slip it into Superman instead

Alien Has to have been at least 15 years since I've seen this. When I was younger, I'd always get impatient and bored because there wasn't shooting and space marines like Aliens. I still did get impatient through this one, but I did appreciate the slow rollout and the logic used to introduce the alien. A lot of the special effects on the Alien and a few moments with the Ash didn't age well, but it's probably not as bad as it could've been because you see the Alien so little. Pretty GOAT liquid movie, though. Everyone's constantly drenched in sweat, the Alien's stickyness, dripping saliva and acid blood, the milky insides of the robot (that's such a great twist now that I think about it, a movie called "Alien" having a robot in it), that one scene where Brett's letting water leak down on him to build tension. Something I never really thought about before, I really like how the Alien drags off the bodies without massacring them and you're never really told what happens to them. You can presume what's going on based on how the Alien is born and how future movies show you the Queen and such, but never really see it. Also kinda miss the grimyness of late '70s/early '80s sci-fi. The modern world has made technology so slick and presentable and Apple and small and convenient, it's a little nostalgic to see submarine boards and picture-tube monitors and an entire room dedicated to housing a basic computer simulator But ye, some things are better since I'm older now, some things are worse because time and special effects moved on, some things are nostalgic because got-old, and a lot of it was realy wet.

Ghost Rider Was expecting this to be as bad as Hulk, but it ended up being aight. Generic '00s Horror-Action movie, cool motorcycle shit, Ghost Rider always looks cool, Eva Mendes' boobs, accidental comedy because Nic Cage can't act. I'm not sure I'd ever watch this again, but I wouldn't be against watching it again either. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance This one was bad as Hulk. Barely any motorcycle shit, retconned the first movie, Ghost Rider was a silly laughing demon for some reason, they wrote in goofy shit for Nic Cage so it came off as forced Nic-Cage bad acting. Only thing that was better than the first was the CGI.

Assassin's Creed Huh, that was actually a really good video game adaption. Actually felt it could've been a bit longer just to get more of the Spanish Inquisition setting and flavour in there, but I'm also used to the games drawing you into the past setting too, it may not have played as well in the movie.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Goodass movie series. I was about to say "My favourite movie of the series is..." but then I mentally started making cases for Chamber of Secrets, Goblet of Fire, the end battle in Order of the Phoenix (Dumbledore vs Voldemort is my favourite battle), and then the whole Snape/Horcrux set-up and the Draco showing in Half-Blood Prince, and the outcomes of all that set-up in Deathly Hallows 2. That's crazy that I can make cases for half of the 8 movies being my favourite in the series and another in consideration because of how it ended.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

'Arry Potta And the Half-Blood Prince So I know Deathly Hallows is one book that was split into 2 movies. Was it just one long-ass movie that they split into two parts like the name suggests or are they shot like two separate movies?

Emo 'Arry Potta and the Order of the Phoenix Holy shit

'Arry Potta And the Goblet of Fire Another goodass movie

'Arry Potta And the Prisoner of Azkaban Was aight

'Arry Potta and the Chamber of Secrets Goodass movie

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone I've never seen any of these movies or read any of the books and the Space Channel had a marathon the other weekend so I DVR'ed them all. Only thing I knew going in was the Snape/Dumbledore meme spoiler (I didn't 100% know for certain that I could identify either character on first look but I have seen them before), it involved some magic school and they played a sport on their broomsticks
