Most Recent Movie Watched?

Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse was alright. Definately not as good as the first one IMO. I guess that's because they're explicitly setting up a sequel with this one, but it ends up feeling very middling.

I have a lot to say about the new Flash movie after I watched it recently. Long rant and spoiler warning. 

TL;DR: I did not like it, and I don't recommend it unless you enjoy watching bad movies.

Spoiler

It's a bad movie overall. I could tell they rushed this movie out due to its main star, Ezra Miller, chasing a felony rap sheet faster than the Warner executives could throw money at it to make it go away. The plot was poor overall, with the character dialog being varying levels of annoying and grating. The CGI varies from acceptable to looking like an Xbox 360 video game cutscene. (The big act three fight scene with the military, at times, looks like it was ripped straight out of a cheesy Army recruitment ad from the 2000's).

Michael Keaton returns as Batman for nostalgia bait. His acting wasn't bad, but it's clear that he's doing this for a paycheck and because the studio wanted to sell nostalgia. The worst portion is the third act, in which poorly made CGI versions of Christopher Reeves, George Reeves, and Adam West, actors who have been dead for years, return as their respective versions of Superman and Batman for short cameos. It's weird and morally dubious to bring back dead actors as poorly rendered PS2 cutscene models to add an "emotional" sting to your movie. There was also a CGI Nick Cage Superman for some reason. Overall, a very bad movie. I'd recommend anyone not to watch it, unless one enjoys watching train wrecks.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts 

hesitant to actually call it “good”, but enjoyed it more than any of the previous live action films in the franchise. So … yeah 😆

Last night I watched "Girl in the Basement", I originally just put it on to have something to half-watch in the background but ended up getting really interested in it.

Attempted to watch the 2022 version of Death on the Nile, but only made it half way through. I suppose I’m just too used to the old BBC version of Poirot. Casts serious doubts on whether I ‘ll give a Haunting in Venice a try as I had planned.

It's funny how we get used to seeing one particular actor or actress playing a certain character. For me Joan Hickson and David Suchet were the best as Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot I just could not relate to any of the others who played them.

Went ahead and took a chance on A Haunting in Venice & found it reasonably enjoyable. Less grandiose than the previous recent Poirot remakes, so had more of the same vibe as the old PBS Mystery series I have fond memories of. A nice lowkey early start to the Halloween season.

Joy Ride

It's about a group of Asian women trying to help their friend find her birth mother in China (the friend was adopted as a baby and brought to the US). It's a pretty funny comedy.
