[Werner1975]

Freaking trying to read subs and watch the movie at the same time I didnt get that upgrade with my brain

Jacob's Ladder (1990)​

​

A fantastic story which gives away the plot a bit early. For that, it loses one point. The acting is great, with many famous faces, and the story is dark. 8/10

Happy Gilmore 2 (2025)​

​

What an abomination. The acting is weak, the story is worse than a high school student's essay, and the jokes fall flat. Adam Sandler stuffed as many famous people into this rubbish as he could, and I don't understand why. Avoid at all costs. 2/10

Didn't even know this movie existed till now but I'm guessing it's because Netflix was paying. The budget of this movie is crazy for a comedy - 150 million freaking dollars.

I used to dislike Adam Sandler movies (and by extension Adam Sandler) but he's just out there having fun, hiring his friends on someone else's dime. Nice work if you can get it.

I've never disliked Sandler until this rubbish.

Colony (2026) 6.5 / 10
A decent zombie movie.

Fall 2 (2026) 5.5 / 10
Balancing on plank for an hour. Ground breaking.

Animals (2026) 5.5 / 10
Was hoping it would be more like The Accountant. Why does kidnapper have the Scream voice?

Matchbox Movie - 5.5/10. Jessica brought me to this movie. They certainly churning them out - generic forgettable nonsense with zero style or substance. 1 or 2 funny one line and that's it.

Fall 2: Deadpoint (2026) - 6/10 ... Knowing that most of you compared it to the first one, I sort of didn't and therefor gave it a slightly higher score than most ... Had some nail-biting moments and I enjoyed it.

Animals (2026) 6/10

Ben Affleck written, directed, produced & starred. Uneasy crime thriller. Starts off well enough with plenty of suspense. Gillian Anderson's character was a smart choice & a delight. Final act about-turn is a mixed bag.

The Florist (2026) 5 / 10

Jean Reno & Dennis Quaid are good.
The movie is average though.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)​

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22084616/

Boring, bailed half way.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)​

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22084616/

Boring, bailed half way.

Watched it last night - my fast forward button was overworked.
Could have been at least 30 minutes shorter.

Love Hypothesis - 6/10

Decent romantic comedy.

 

[Werner1975]

Insidious - Out of the Further (2026) 5.5/10. Standard fare and scares. Nothing new to contribute to this franchise.

 

[Ockie]

7.5/10

As Werner said. Nothing all that new really .... but I still really enjoyed it ... and there were some scenes I put my hands over my eyes .... because it makes me extremely squeamish lol.

 

[Dimpie (JIGSAW)]

Spiderman : Brand New Day (2026) - 7.5/10 ... Loved it ! ... perfect way to get those characters back into the storyline + add someone new

Animals (2026) - 5/10 ... Was Meh ... Besides the ending it felt like I've seen this before.

Guys, we have to pull our resources together and get schematics and plans drafted for a time machine. We really do need to get @satanboy pulled back into the 2026 timeline.

If we do not do this soon, I fear that his essence might be lost forever in the fabric of time!!!!!

There is only one sensible time machine to build.

Spiderman BND - 7/10. The Crouching spider hidden dragon bit was pretty dang cool.
