Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves - Solid 10/10
I've played D&D, but I wouldn't exactly call myself a fan of the game, and I only have very basic knowledge of the lore. But thankfully that didn't matter because this movie is fantastic and works really well as a standalone fantasy movie. Surprisingly easy to follow plot, loveable characters, actual funny jokes, chaotic D&D campaign energy, a vibrant and colourful world, some lovely location shooting, I loved every minute of it! It actually makes me really sad to know the movie is flopping as badly as it is, because I would love sequels and to see this world and these characters again.
The best thing by far though, is when I saw the movie in the cinema, there were a group of teenagers a few rows behind me, all in full D&D cosplay, presumably as the characters from their campaign, one of them even had blue face paint and little horns! And as I was leaving I overheard them talking about the magic system, lore and other stuff. It's one of the cutest God Damn things I've ever seen, and it put a huge smile on my face.

Just watched Suzume in the theater today. Makoto Shinkai did it again. His movies are intense, profound, splendid and visually stunning. I’m glad that I’m able to look forward to his projects without fear of being disappointed.

Got to see Super Mario Bros. on Friday. Overall, super entertaining movie. Not going to act like it was deep or anything to write home about, but it was very beautifully made and had plenty of action and charm. Especially appreciated the tons of Mario and Nintendo easter eggs and references throughout the film, which I won't spoil here. If nothing else, it's a really fun way to spend 90 minutes.

I've been watching through My Hero Academia season 1 again. Despite Deku always injuring himself because his Quirk (term for superpower) very dangerous for him, it's still a great series that shows heroes can be strong and still vulnerable.

Kinda late but saw Mario Movie. Had a blast with, the easter eggs and sound cues were so fun to watch. The movie looks amazing visually and honestly the cast was fairly good to me. Would’ve liked it to be a bit longer but I was thoroughly entertained throughout it. Defs keen for a sequel

Evil Dead Rise,thought the movie was okay, didn't resonate with any of the characters and I think the biggest selling point were the demon possessions that happened with almost every character. This was also my first time seeing an Evil Dead film so I'm a huge casual to the franchise, I might check out the earlier films since Sam Raimi was the original director.

So finally got around to watching The Godfather Coda (aka the director’s cut of Part III) last night. Hate to say it, but it didn’t improve the film very much. The changes made were pretty minimal from what I could tell. It’s still in essence the same film. It’s okay, I suppose, but such a huge dip in quality from those first two films.
Those original Evil Dead films are really fantastic and well made, especially if you like some campy horror. I actually live about an hour and half away from the location where they shot the first film. Tried to visit what was left of the cabin (it burned down sometime in the 80s, but parts of the chimney still remain) about a year or so ago, but the owner of the property apparently isn’t too keen on people going back there anymore.

I think that I like the original version of 3 better tbh. Michael's death counters the original Godfathers.
The original died, but wasn't alone. As in his granddaughter or niece found him.
Michael died alone. Apart from his dog. No one was there.
I get what they were trying for in Coda. With him not dying, but living with the fear that they could get him at any time.
But the original version seemed to resonate with me more.

Watched The Social Network for the first time last night. One of those films I really should have gotten to sooner. Not only was the film great, but it also serves as a pretty interesting time capsule in hindsight. Wasn't afraid to paint Zuckerberg in a negative light way before public opinion had turned around on both him and Facebook as a company (at least from what I remember at the time, though I was only like 14). Jesse Eisenberg really nailed it, making you just absolutely despise the Zuck-Man. Not sure how much was real or what was dramatized, but the film really reinforces the idea that becoming a rich big shot isn't dependent on how much talent or great ideas you have, but instead a lot of luck and whether or not you're willing to screw over the people around you on the way up. The score was also fantastic, especially for Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's first foray into composition for films.

Jesse Eisenberg is a phenomenal actor. It's a shame he doesn't get a lot of good movies....

Watched the Mario Movie. Most characters stayed close to their game counter parts, but Peach is certainly not sassy in the games nor she would do anything to protect the Mushroom Kingdom and prevent Bowser from kidnapping her so I definitely felt that I was watching a different incarnation of her character. I appreciated all the cameos, specially Pauline, Bomb-omb King and King Boo. I’m also glad that they gave personality to the penguins and that the Kongs are seen as a strong kingdom. There where some obvious cliché and predictable moments, but the movie was entertaining and it is everything I expected. I hope they make some more.

It’s Kalos season!
Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Do I even need to mention just how hilarious, stupidly funny and dumb this movie is?

Caught up on No Time to Die yesterday. I’m not super familiar with Daniel Craig’s bond (only saw Skyfall agss ago) but enjoyed it overall. Great action set pieces and cinematography, and despite not knowing the characters full histories, the story was engaging still. The villain was kinda generic tho. Gotta watch Casino Royale too cause I’ve heard so much praise for it
Finally saw the new Mario movie. Loved it! Laughed a lot in it and the Easter eggs were great.
It gets an 8/10.
Hoping that they make future movies.

Saw Guardians 3. Just a really satisfying movie, it’s amazing to see how far they’ve all come. High Evolutionary and Adam Warlock were great antagonists too. I have no major complaints rn. It finally feels like a movie that lived up to its hype
Surprised nobody died tho, really thought star lord was done at the end. With rocket you realise cause he’s been dying the whole movie that he’ll live too. But you don’t need deaths to make it meaningful I guess, the group has split up anyway
