It seems that such a thread doesn't exist here yet, so I'll go ahead and make it
Pretty self-explanatory... tell us what movie you watched last and what you thought of it.
For me, it was Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie.
Honestly... I think that may be the first-ever case of a flick being this hyped that actually delivered. I know my expectations were sky-high, being a long-time fan myself, but man, I adored this.
It's not perfect, but it gets pretty darn close. And I'm very glad to announce that this film gives the series some much-needed closure. Just a really good film to put on and enjoy
What about you?
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Order 66/100.
It just felt to me that Disney and Kennedy (head of Lucas Films) has no respect for Star Wars. It just like some kid got a hold of The Empire Strikes Back a pair of scissors and some paste. Rearranged some things and made this.
Also What the hell, FUEL, fuel is now a thing?! WTF it has never been an issue in any other Star Wars movie.
I had a huge rant that contained spoilers only to realize there are no spoiler tags <_< as such I shall make the text blue, INGORE BLUE TEXT IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS (but really the movie is that bad IMO you miss nothing if you get spoiled)
In TFA Snoke is set up as the Big Bad like Palatine before him, only Palatine had purpose and meaning, Snoke and how he quickly died as soon as he was on screen was just horrid writing. Also what was with the red background... it was like it was from some B Sci fi 70s movie...just red...)
Rose...oh man rose, I don't blame the actress but holy shit the writing for her was bad, and then the ending...
"You don't win killing what you hate, but saving what you love"
1) Ask Anakin how that worked out for him
2) You stupid stupid person, That is what Flynn was doing he was trying to save the bloody Resistance, In fact you are the reason why Luke is dead.
Oh and Pink hair bitch, they fucking killed off Ackabar for her?!
Pink Hair was such a bad commander that the guy who commanded many of their friends to death was able to convince the survivors to have a mutiny...
Zootopia
This was on TV last night so decided to watch it. Very good movie actually, especially with the themes of prejudice and profiling and whatnot. I also appreciated it didn't do the typical stuff I expected it to do and actually caught me out a few times.
@Tsu: I saw that movie when it first aired, and it was really good and didn't fall under the weight of its own hype. Definitely a good return and closure at the same time.
Maleficient
Caught it on BBC1 yesterday. Was better than I expected. I know Jolie was given some notable praise on her performance, and yes she did well. Didn't mind the re-imagining of Sleeping Beauty at all. Apparently there's sequel being made, so I'll watch that whenever it is shown on TV.
Jane Got a Gun
Watched with my sister in two different parts of the day. Didn't know how poor this did for box office, reception, and changes in the cast and directors. So I took it for face value, and wasn't bad at all. An OK western. I'd give it a 6 or 7/10. So what if bigger names were pulling out, I get it was mess in that way, but don't like it when it seems people only go by who's starring in a movie.
Paradox Alice
I wanted to see the movie for so long, and I finally had a job, so I bought it. It started out pretty paint-by-numbers as far as the kind of story it is goes. Then I got an hour in, and...HOO BOY! That was an experience, I will say.
I don't really watch movies or TV anymore. Hell, I don't even use Netflix. So, I haven't really seen anything very recent.
Paddington 2
It's got a 100% Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes - and it deserves every one of those positive reviews. It's a fun, heart-warming adventure for all the family (not just kids!)
Stalingrad (1993):
I don't know if Germans know how to make movies... but they really do know how to act them.
Beautiful piece about one of the bloodiest battles in history, with a lot of self-criticism as well as a wonderfully-made showcasing platform for the horrors of war. No heroism to be found here, just widespread misery.
HIGHLY recommended.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Went to see this with my Dad and sister. Pretty good movie. The start was quite boring until Owen makes his appearance, the remainder of the film was fine though. Dinosaurs looked great, but really Blue is the best.
Jurassic World was kinda better overall for me though, but this had a few things over that.
I watched like an hour of Doctor Strange tonight. I'm not much of a movie person, so me actually watching that much of any movie is a pretty big accomplishment. Usually if I start watching a movie, I get bored after about 10 minutes and go back to playing a game.

How would you rank it against all the other Jurassic movies?

1. Jurassic World
2. Jurassic Park
3. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
4. "Alan." I mean, Jurassic Park 3
5. The Lost World: Jurassic Park
I'd expect some people would have Park ahead World, but for me I really enjoyed World. Perhaps more so than my kid self enjoying Park. Is ridiculously close between them though. Park 2 is under 3 only because I don't remember much from it. Looking at some images and clips from the trailer and Honest Trailer, I think it's going to stay there for me.
This was on the old forum and I think it deserves a comeback
What did you watch last?
Mine was
Hack my Life: I found this one by accident, browsing thru the channels while cooking and, honestly, horrible pun aside, it ain't half-bad!
It's a very small show teaching you neat tricks that may actually get you out of jams in your everyday life (I think I will be using the one to get your keys from inside your locked car soon, knowing my luck
). It's also really funny, with its jokes and comedic moments thrown on an unsuspecting audience and random volunteers. Definitely recommend to at least check it out.
What about you?
Wimbledon, Federer vs Lacko. Then a bit of Cilic vs Pella whilst eating dinner, but stopped doing so and that was before the suspension.
For TV Show series, Sanctuary. My sister is watching currently, and I'm just sitting in the same room watching too. On and off, I'm not following it like she is though. Not bad but can't be bothered with it really.
I currently have MASH playing on my TV for background noise.
A cool little sitcom called Speechless. Only watched two episodes, but it seems fun!
