Rate The Last Movie You Watched

I thought Rebirth was significantly more enjoyable than the last one with the locusts. That was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Who comes to a Jurassic World movie and wants to see locusts?

I thought Rebirth did a nice job throwing in scenes from the books that didn't make it into the Jurassic Park movies. The T. rex swimming scene was great.

The Roofman 6.5/10 enjoyable enough. Nice story, and Channing Tatum is charming enough.

The Sting 6/10 This movie won best picture? It was ok, but not great. Lots of talent with Redford and Newman, but the actual "sting" wasn't very realistic. It seemed like the whole thing would hwve been so easily blown. Hard to believe a guy with the power and street smarts the mark should have had would hwve fell for it.

Anoth Battle After Another 9/10 Great film. Sean Penn was crazy, creepy fantastic.

The Naked Gun 7/10 Funny nostalgia. Nice blend of the old style in new clothes.

Regretting You 7.5/10 Heavy chick flick. Seriuos with light moments. You know what's coming, but you still like watching it happen somehow.

Finally got around to watching The Holdovers, which was a great movie. 4 out of 4 stars

O.5/10 - Greenland 2: Migration may have been the worst movie I've ever seen that got released nationwide that wasn't released as a joke or as propaganda. It was worse than those 90s made for TV movies they showed on Saturday Nights on network TV. I made it through 65 of the 95 minutes and realized I couldn't take any more. It's seriously almost as bad as the Ice Cube War of the Worlds. I was also disappointed the ducks from the Illumination Migration movie didn't make an appearance.

Melania has some interesting numbers. They are reporting it pulled $8 million dollars in box office sales, which is huge for a documentary. The problem is, the theaters playing it are completely empty. I just looked at theaters in my area starting last night, and every showing was completely empty except two tickets at one. It is getting a 8% on Rotten Tomatoes on the professional critic side, but the audience score is 98%, with people claiming "A fantastic flick, our theater was sold out and erupted in applause and cheers at the end of the show."
Now of course I wouldn't say someone has bought millions of dollars of tickets, or that they have paid for some bots to post glowing reviews.....actually I will say that. That is exactly what has happened.

My daughter who works at a local movie theatre said there were a lot of old white people seeing Melania last night.

I live in a very red part of the state. Just out of curiosity I looked at the available showings. One thing I noticed, and it may just be a timing thing, but the earlier shows in my area are doing decently, anywhere for near sell out to 2/3 or more full. The later showing have barely anyone there, and no one in some cases. If people are going to see it they are likely all older people who don't do 7:30 movies.

Who's reporting $8M? If they're anyone related to the admin or looking to get on the good side of the admin, we can safely assume those are made up numbers.

The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, The New York Times.

Dola: Speaking of Deadline, they are raving about the numbers. They are saying the CinemaScore numbers are unheard of, and they are actual showing huge positive numbers across the board. I guess the cult is really turning out for this pos.
Box Office: 'Send Help' Leading With Near $18M, 'Melania' 'A' CinemaScore

Cinemascore is a good measure of how much the movie's intended audience likes a film. It's not a surprise that people who choose to see Melania ended up loving the movie, or at least pretended to love it.

Mercy - 3/10. It's like 25% Minority Report and 75% the recent War of the World's with Ice Cube. I can't believe they actually released this to theaters instead of straight to streaming.

28 Days Later: Bone Temple - 6/10. It was fine but felt disjointed. Lots of man parts and body skinning. Good music though.

War Machine -: 2/10. Generic military meets alien mech movie. Also surprisingly gory and thankfully it flew by. Alan Ritchson has at most 1 note to his acting and Dennis Quaid has somehow become a worse actor with age, which is quite the feat. It's basically a remake of Predator or any other generic action movie.

Project Hail Mary: 10/10, perfect movie, no notes.

OK, some notes. It's a science fiction comedy that still has a bunch of pathos. So if that isn't your thing you might not like it. But a good way to judge is whether or not you liked The Martian (the author of the book made into that movie is also the author of the book made into this movie).

Also, if you're not a fan of Ryan Gosling, obviously you probably won't be a fan here. I think he's great, so no issues.

There's a couple of silly parts that almost go too silly, one being a quick diversion when they forget about Newtonian physics which is an odd choice in an otherwise so science-forward movie, but it fit the overall tone, so I was fine with it.

I read the book and loved the movie and thought it was a great adaptation. My wife didn't read the book but also loved the movie and cried and laughed at all the right points. My 14-year-old son, who is famously dismissive of anything either of us like, said it was the greatest movie he'd ever seen, which is wild.

Go see it - it's what movies are supposed to be about.

Agreed. Project Hail Mary is great.
