The Sony Spiderman movies are amazing. We re-watched the first one last night before seeing the matinee of the new one today. Every single frame is thoughtful and creative, with some bursts of a second that use different looks and styles. I thought after the first one, I'd be less amused/surprised by another one. Nope, I couldn't take my eyes off of it. The seats downtown are brutally uncomfortable though. Worth it. Despite how this looks in a trailer, it's somehow easy to forget it's animation. The first one won best animated feature. It's time for at least a nomination for Best Picture because the thing is just that remarkable.

Anti-recommendation for Avatar: Way of Water.
Beautiful, technologically astounding.
But an amalgam of other ideas, and some ham-handed preaching about whale slaughter and the evil of the White Man. And - no spoiler here - at the end there's a boat that turns over as they climb up the side, and then are trapped under in small air pockets and all I could think was that he'd already made Titanic once before.
My Better Half⢠wanted to walk out at the cruelty and violence that was part of the "message." I thought that the first movie was Pochahontas, and this was Vietnam (come into the indigenous people's homes and try to hunt them).
The good part: I didn't know Jermaine was in it! And his American accent kept coming and going. Fun.
I saw the funniest movie last night. It was hilarious for the maximum cringe factor. Take a look at 'Moonfall'.
It's on HBO/HBO Max. You have to watch it all the way through because you will not believe the ending...
Yeah, don't believe how I sat through that crap until the ending. Had some decent names too, how did they all read that script and go 'yeah, I'll be associated with this turd'?

Anyone seen this? The NYT reviewer made it sound great/terrifying.
âThis isnât a true-crime documentary, itâs something far creepier: a low-budget found-footage horror movie thatâs so realistic itâs uncanny, like an otherworldly episode of â48 Hours.â The writer-director Dutch Marich and his cast work magic by keeping the action to a minimum and the acting on a low flame. Watching the film calls for patience, because Marich reveals what happened to Gary almost entirely through dialogue, like a campfire ghost story.
That is until a sadistically directed finale thatâs so terrifying, I had to look away from the screen because I could not handle it. I canât wait for the sequel later this year.â
No, its not all that. Typical found footage type show. Nothing special. I personally have grown tired of the genre but a cheap way to make a movie, I guess. I am looking out for Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey. What happens when a beloved childrens story goes into public domain and gets turned into a slasher film. Much more original.

I give the Google blurb five stars, too: "After losing his parents, a priest travels to China, where he inherits a mysterious ability that allows him to turn into a dinosaur. Although he is horrified by the new power, a sex worker convinces him to use it to fight crime."
We just got back from the new Elvis movie. I went as a curmudgeon. The best Elvis movie, in my book, is the one from the late 70s âThis Is Elvis.â I had the vinyl, it was so great a summary of his career.
This one is wonderful. Baz is a director that takes significant liberties, and there are plenty of omissions and untruths in this (like his firing âColonelâ âTomâ âParkerâ while onstage at Vegas - didnât happen, but looks cool). But the guy playing Elvis kills it. Looks. A lot like him, and has the moves down.
All three of us loved it. A great way to spend a few hours in a cool theater in the summer.
It's in limited theater runs around North America. Since the film centers around sounds, the sound engineering is fascinating; I recommend seeing it in a theater if possible.
I thought it was old enough for TV, maybe down road. Looks like a good venue in Detroit though.
I did come up with a 2016 teen coming of age movie with same name on xfinity.
Last good movie I saw was "A Most Wanted Man" Phillip Seymore Hoffman's last, but sad.
