  1. Drop Dead Gorgeous: Definitely an underrated film with a mostly female cast. More than a few young actresses before they became big.

    A Simple Favor: Was not expecting to love this one as much as I did. A smart, darkly humorous thriller and well acted all around.

    Most Likely To Murder: I like Adam Pally and Rachel Bloom.  I was hoping for something better than this. It was an alright comedy but a little too mean-spirited at times.

    The Goonies: It's a childhood favorite. It mostly holds up.

  2. I have not been keeping up. I know there are movies that I'm forgetting.

    Manos: The Hands of Fate: One of my favorite MST3k Episodes. Needed something while folding laundry.

    Castle in the Sky: Is it Miyasaki;s best film? No but that doesn't change that it's a fun film and one of his most accessible.

    Jupiter Ascending: Is it good? No but there's enough going for it that I can appreciate. It's visually interesting, it's just when plot happens that it starts... yeah...

    Moulin Rouge: It's not bad but the massive moments of tonal shift can be disorienting.

    Scream 2 (x2): For The Show.

  3. Star Trek: First Contact: I kind of rewatched it to get psyched for the Picard show. It's a lot of fun and a decent action movie.

    A Very Brady Sequel: The Brady films from the 90s are still pretty terrific, fun for both fans of the show and not.

    Trancers: I wanted something on while playing Civ 5. It's a dumb 80s action movie with some sci-fi elements. It's okay.

    Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus: As a finale of the show, it works. As an extra long episode, it works. I feel like Zim works better in small doses but this was pretty good regardless.

  4. Reefer Madness: The Musical version. Somehow, this is more poignant today.

    The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Because sometimes you need something absurd in this world.

    Rent: There aren't that many musicals streaming online so... well... I don't always make good choices.

  5. Paris is Burning: I watched a lot of Drag Race in the last week and I felt the need to go back to the source. Interesting as fuck documentary about The New York Ballroom Scene in the 80s. Even without taking into account of how much it and the scene influenced gay culture, it's even more interesting how much it has slowly permeated into mainstream culture (the fact that shade is a common term now when it had to be explained in the feature).

  6. I am absolutely loving HoX and PoX. I'm a person who very rarely cares about art in comics unless when it's really bad. This is a case where I noticed it consistently. Silva is doing phenomenal work! Case in point: facial expressions. We have a character like Nimrod, a freaking robot, and he looks absolutely giddy in the art work at one point and it made me laugh, even if it was more than a little horrifying since he's a freaking Sentinel. Writing wise, yeah, it's a lot of set-up but then, this is Hickman. Hell, I fully expect this to still somehow tie into his Fantastic Four run just because Hickman is the only person other than Claremont that I feel would pull such an insane stunt.

  7. Ralph Breaks The Internet: I didn't hate it. I didn't love it either. The amount of product promotion kind of started to get to me.

    Batman: Hush: I try not to be that guy who says, "They changed it and now it sucks" but some of the changes they made to the adaptation were kind of, well, bad. It didn't help that Hush isn't exactly a great story to begin with.

    Us: Not quite as strong as Get Out but still pretty interesting. Lupita Nyong'o deserves a Best Actress nomination.

  8. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods: I've seen most of the Dragon Ball movies. This might be the one that felt most like a movie and less like an extra long episode/extra short story arc of Dragon Ball.

    Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F: This... was good but was back to the kind of formula of feeling like an extra long episode/extra short story arc of Dragon Ball.

    The Phantom of the Opera: Honestly, I was drunk and wanted to watch a musical. It's okay but has some real problems.

  9. Batman Vs TMNT: My friends hadn't seen it and I figured I should watch it sober. Half thinking next year, I should keep track of how many movies I watch drunk.

    Spider-Man: Far From Home: Like a lot of Marvel films since Guardians did so well, there's a little too much comedy in the film but there are so many parts that I love regardless of that. Jake Gyllenhaal is very charming for the entire film and is very great.

    Spoiler

    The entire theater cheered when J.K. Simmons showed up during the mid-credits cameo for the record and that's during a Sunday morning showing so I can only imagine what one of the opening night.

  10. Superman IV: The Quest for Peace: Superman tells the nations of the world, "No more bombs" and then there are no more bombs. Superman uses the roofie kiss, burns Lois Lane's roast, and dates two women at once. True, Superman III Superman does more dickish things but those are under the influence. This is much more hardcore Superman is a Dick territory to me.

    The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe: The 70s animated version. Voice acting is hammy, the animation is choppy, yet it will always hit a nostalgia cord for me!

    Showgirls: My annual viewing. Watched it with friends this year so good for me.

  11. Always Be My Maybe: Cute little movie. It's nice to see more films starring POC, especially when they can still be more than a "We could have cast a white actor but we cast a POC actor instead without changing any of the writing" affair. Good work. Also, I have more respect of Keanu Reeves and how he has handled his career and I will say nothing more.

    Set It Up: I have a ton more respect for Executive Assistants than I already had and I had quite a bit. Also, I like Pete Davidson a bit more now.

    Take Me Home Tonight: Your movie is called Take Me Home Tonight. You had one job: feature the song. You couldn't even do that! Oh, and the movie is alright but nothing special. Honestly, Anna Farris is pretty good in it but it's super awkward watching her and Chris Pratt break up in the movie when you know they were about two or three years from it happening in real life.

  12. Batman vs TMNT: Was not expecting this to be so delightful.

    Halloween (2018): Judy Greer should be in every horror movie. All in all, I had a good time and it was worth watching.

    Repo: The Genetic Opera: It's not a perfect movie but when you're drunk and you want a combination of horror and rock music.
