The book it's based on does have a sequel. Supposedly a terrible one, and intentionally so, as the author (again, only what I heard) wanted it to be unfilmable, since he apparently despised the movie. In fact it starts with Gump saying "Don't never let nobody make a movie of your life's story".

Jupiter Ascending was absolutely terrible. Painfuly bad. And the Matrix films... the first one was ok, but the other two... well, all I'll say is the second one remains the second and only time I ever walked out of a movie. The third one I didn't even see in the theatre, only way later at home. Not quite as horrid as the second, but still damn bad.

Vampires vs the Bronx. Horror-Comedies are the best horrors and the best comedies. This had a very "Attack the Block" vibe if you've seen that.

Candyman is a vengeful ghost with bees in his mouth so that when he kisses you, he shoots bees down your throat; but his super-move is the hypnotism/framing for hook-murder combo.

I watched Greenland in my local cinema last weekend; I think it was on 10.10.2020.; A Serious Date!
IMHO film is excellent; better than similar movies in that genre, like Deep Impact or Armageddon.
And I am sad that's probably the last movie I will watch in cinema(s) in foreseeable future, as masks are now obligatory even in cinemas.

On average I watch 7 movies a week on streaming sites like Netflix, Peacock, Tubi TV, and Crackle.


Most recently I watched:

Shrek
Miss Congeniality
Kick Ass
13 going on 30
Scream 1,2,3, and 4
God Bless America
Face Off
Haywire
Larger than Life
Losers
Sin City
Cell

There were several others, but I can't remember the titles.

Do you mean the one from 1992 or the new sequel? I have watched the old one a few times, taped from the TV, and I even had it on tape and listened to it on my walkman- I was visiting my grandmother and had nothing new to listen to in that town, and of course no internet connection back then. I think I watched it the first time only because of the same-titled Siouxsie & the Banshees song. You know how it was, you had a look at the tv-guide and saw "Candyman - horror".

I could say the same of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it was so painful to watch that it made me cringe. Maybe we could have a new thread about what films we didn't like. I think all the Matrix movies had something to say, were innovative and and high quality. JA was fun and incredibly expensive sci-fi, with a lot of effort put into it. And yes, I said that it's a pity that Forrest Gump didn't have a sequel because there's no film of the second novel, so I thought it was a missed opportunity. I still have to read it and I didn't know about the author disliking the film and even making the book "unfilmable", funny story.

Russian movie about a love story between teenagers.
Pretty nice (though it made me feel terribly old), interesting working class setting. Such a "normal" movie isn't really made anymore in the west.

What's the title?

I actually kinda liked that one :D Not as much as the Lost Ark or Last Crusade, not nearly, but I always thought people were way too hard on it other than that (especially in the light of they let Temple of Doom get away with). But who knows, maybe I'll change my mind - I intend to rewatch it this weekend, as I've been rewatching all the Indy movies.

I like movies and watch a lot of them, even movies that other people call bad. I get where they're coming from, but for me a bad movie is one that's incoherent. All I ask is that a movie make sense. If after watching a movie I can't explain the plot because of poor writing, acting, editing, or audio, it's a bad movie. If I can follow the story, for me it's worth watching.

Prequels have become a blight on modern storytelling. If the story was best off starting at an earlier point, that's when they would have started it. Illustrating the backstory at great length just isn't very involving but filmmakers keep freaking doing it and audiences keep feeling underwhelmed after watching them.

Anyway, the last movie I watched was Beyond the Black Rainbow. It was interesting. Very visual, cool soundtrack. Has some really neat Lovecraftian vibes, but it's really, really slow-moving. It's ironic to me that a movie that takes a pretty skeptical view of psychotropic drug use and New Age therapy seems to have a lot of fans who rave about how trippy this movie is :)

From the school of "I want my thing to be as hard to find as possible" by using a generic title. For once, the French version helps a lot more with "14 ans, premier amour". I'll look it up.

You might enjoy "Et au pire, on se mariera" as well.

I watched Saving Private Ryan for the first time yesterday. Very cool war scenes, the corporal character kinda forcefully reminds you it's a Hollywood movie tho.
