everything I saw in April Pather Panchali (1955) - 10/10 I Love Boosters (2026) - 8/10 Die My Love (2025) - 7.5/10 Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970) - 5.5/10 Cruel Intentions (1999) - 7/10 Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) - 7.5/10 The Drama (2026) - 7.5/10 Whisper of the Heart (1995) - 8.5/10
First time? Whole trilogy is great but The World of Apu is somehow even better than Pather Panchali. If you ever want to understand why Rita Hayworth was a big deal, this is all you need to see.
I remember the Pather Panchali trilogy as a really bad rip years ago. I should watch the new remastered versions.
God of Gamblers - 6/10 Greenland 2: Migration - 5/10 Undertow (1949) - 7/10 I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry - 1/10 Ring of Fear - 5.5/10
Michael - 4/10 I had zero interest in seeing this, but my brother and sisters wanted to and I like our sibling outings. (Hokkum just came out!!!!!) This movie stops at 1988 and doesn’t cover any of the abuse allegations. There’s not really much interaction between characters and when there’s a problem, it’s solved immediately. It’s a biopic of a singer, but there are so many long performances it feels like music videos spliced together. The only positive is the lead actor. He’s MJ’s nephew and he does an amazing job. I almost lost it though when before the credits rolled it said something like HIS JOURNEY CONTINUES…like it’s an MCU movie leading up to a crossover. The is the most boring and safe biopic.
Took my mom to the movies yesterday for her birthday and she wanted to see Animal Farm. I almost fell asleep multiple times. 4 out of 10
From what I've read, it tries to be hopeful about "it's always cyclical" so they'll rise up to overthrow tyranny, but then the subtext of that is....the fascist pigs will cycle back in, too. It's a lot less happy than they think it is.
You can also tell they weren’t sure how they wanted to end it other than they wanted it to be a little more optimistic lol the credits rolled like 1 minute after the resolution. Very abrupt. Easily the worst film of 2026 so far
Got the chance to see Highlander for its 40th Anniversary at the cinema, which was great, which means it is also the first time I have seen a Cannon Film in that manner as well. Will Penny - 8/10 Hell’s Island - 7/10 The Shoot - 6/10 The Giant Behemoth - 6/10 Highlander - 8/10
It is one of the few so far in my run of Happy Madison films that has nearly made me give up on continuing. It doesn't help that it is significantly longer than most of the others I have hated.
I hate that it has this message of homophobia being bad while being full to the brim with homophobia. Jack and Jill is the worst Sandler movie though. I couldn't finish it. And that's coming from someone who watches Grown Ups 2 like once a month.
Makes me think they realised how bigoted it was and that it wouldn't go down well, so had to make a quick course correction, but it was too little, too late, quite frankly. I still have that to look forward to, haha.
It reminds me of Shallow Hal, where the whole movie is just shitting on fat people, but we're supposed to be cool with it because at the very end of the movie we learn a lesson and Jason Alexander has a tail.
Jack and Jill is awful, but it does have the very minor silver lining of a genuinely really funny Al Pacino performance.
I've mentioned it before but the bit of throwaway business with the ceiling fan and the Don Quixote costume is one of my favorite jokes in any movie. Even crazier that it's from such a loathsome one.
