Twisters: 8/10

I don't go to the theater very often, but nostalgia got the better of me and made me want to see this in the theater like I did the Twister back in 1996. It was worth it. The first movie was a bit of a special effects marvel at the time, though you can watch it now and it screams early CGI. This movie made the tornados look just like what you see from real storm chasers. The knock would be just like in the first movie some of the physics of what is done in the movie is pretty questionable. But, just like in the first movie, the movie conveys the power and destruction of natural monsters.

Story was good, if many of the twists (and twisters) you can see coming. Just a fun popcorn movie that isn't too deep, not preachy at all, and gives you some real thrills.

Thriller 40 - 9/10

Talk about bringing back some incredible memories. A documentary on Showtime about the making of the Thiller album. It discusses everything that went into it, the creative efforts to make the songs themselves, the aftermath and then the absolute explosion when the Thriller mini-movie came out. You really get to se just how shy Michael was as well as his incredible drive. It's really an iconic telling of a music icon. Just watched it for the 2nd time. Goodbumps at times.

Twisters - 9.5/10

It has been way too long since I’ve seen a good, big budget film in a theater and really enjoyed it. I also appreciated them not making it into a love story (even though the setup was there). Effects were good. Lots of tension.

I saw they actually cut the big kiss scene at the end. I agree it was a good call.

Deadpool & Wolverine - 9/10

Fun and very justifiably R-rated super hero film. They did a great job of keeping cameos quiet and there were a lot of fun ones. You can tell that Reynolds loves the character and universe. All the fights you could ask for and tons of nostalgia. The mid-credits scene was a nice love letter to all the non-MCU properties and the end credits scene is hilarious. I’ll nick it a point because I’m sick of the multiverse stuff and I felt the first 20% or so was a little slow for me.

There wasn't much of a plot to this but it was still a blast to watch. Agree with everything you said.

Best movie in a long time for me, good plot or not, just was plain entertaining from start to end. Was nice to go to the movies and have fun, putting all real world crap to the side.

Twisters 9/10 - Perfect summer movie. Definitely a movie that is more fun at a theater than at home.

They need to remake this Redford/Pitt movie, with like Pitt and Glenn Powell.

It's a very good movie, but Tony Scott's directing makes it feel very of it's time. It just feels a bit too late 90s/early 00s.

This was the Drive-In we used to go to when I was a kid. Saw Star Wars there in 1977, and it blew my mind. It always had double features, and I remember so many times watching that first movie then crashing in the back seat full of blankets and pillows with my little sister through the second movie. Saw such classics as "Walking Tall" "Harper Valley PTA" "Ode To Billy Joe" "Love Story". It is not in an area that I would want to be in that late at night anymore. I wish there were more Drive In's like this around.

Not if you have a home theatre that hits harder than most movie theatres

Alien:Romulus. 7.5/10

Thought there were a bunch of interesting sequences and using a reconstituted Ian Holm was a cool idea. Ultimately maybe they needed a better lead or a more recognizable face in the cast

beetlejuice beetlejuice 8/10

3 out of 4 of my company of nerds enjoyed it. I thought for better or worse it relied heavily on nostalgia. It did have some lazy writing.
