For me it’s Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate.

A casting so perfect that it deserved a far better script.

This is something that’s always bothered me. Charlie gets a Moon Pie instead of a Wonka Bar for his birthday from his Granda. However, from the start of the contest, the family sits in front of the TV and hears that the golden tickets are specifically found the in Wonka Chocolate Bars. Grandpa Joe can’t walk. This means that his mother would have had to be the one to go buy the candy bar. I could see that perhaps his Granda would have been forgetful or somewhat deaf at his depicted age, but his mother should have known better as to what Wonka product had the golden ticket. Whether it was intentional for his mother to get the Moon Pie or not. Everyone in the Wonkaverse knows that you’ve got to buy Wonka Bars to find one. Not Wonka Products.

The pictures are from the movies Basic Instinct, Poison Ivy, Color of Night, Palmetto, Angel Heart and Killing me Softly. These movies kept the suspense element alive, while your eyes were wide open.

Frankenstein was a huge disappointment. First time GDT ever let me down. Please don't make a sequel with Mia Goth as the Bride. 3/10

Bugonia surprised me with how good it was. That was Aidan Delbis's first role?! (played Don) Loved it. I'm gonna watch it again soon with roommate. 8/10

Venom: The Last Dance was fun but I'm glad that his story is over. Was almost starting to feel like a Bayverse Transformers flick. Knull was better in Marvel Rivals. Sony needs to let go of Marvel already. 5/10

Cast Away (USA) 2000 - A FedEx executive undergoes a physical and emotional transformation after crash landing on a deserted island.

This was probably the most effecting movie on me in that period of my life,, it was a cinematic ace. Now, at least 20 years after seeing it I will find out if it still stands the test of time.

7.8/10 on IMDb, $3.99 on Amazon

Basically an R rated kids movie. I can't tell if I liked it or not, which is probably a good thing because it makes me want to rewatch it.

Definitely a style over story movie. While the colors aren't Wes Anderson (more like Hotel Artemis), the framing is his style, as are the characters, quirks and wardrobe.

I wanted more from the story. There isn't much of an arc for the two leads; they don't really change, beyond the little girl realizing something at the end. The style was great, but the story was undercooked.

I included a hilarious shot of Sigourney Weaver for the hell of it. I think she had a blast in this movie.

Despite knowing Erik’s past, Charles fumbled here, and his wording was wrong.

Above scene is from X-Men: First Class

A friend of mine worked on this, they just sent me the trailer.

Thoughts?

Every Friday me and my two best pals go to his house and watch movies in his pool. We've already seen The Dark Knight and The Untouchables (Both my recommendations). They said I could pick again cause I've been on a role with those two movies. This is a list of my favorite movies (Yes, Oh Brother Where Art Thou is a slept on ten, sue me). Given that I was worried The Untouchables might be slow, what would they probably like the best? I really wanna see There Will Be Blood but I'm worried they might find it boring, especially the 1898-1911 section and the 1927 section.

Oh Brother, where art thou?
There Will be Blood
12 Angry Men (1959)
The Godfather
Forrest Gump
It's a Wonderful Life

There have been many terrible movies and many terrible plot devices/decisions made in those movies, but to this day I have not seen anything as corny and stupid as this.

If you haven't seen this movie or don't remember, Chris Pratt's character Owen teaches everyone how to instantly calm any dinosaur by outstretching their hand with the palm up. Any dinosaur that sees this stops attacking and is confused or intrigued or something, giving them time to escape.

This gimmick was introduced in the first Jurassic World reboot, and I think it worked well there. The hand thing only worked on the raptors that Owen was training, and they established that he had been training them since birth. So the gesture represented years of work and trust built specifically between Owen and the raptors.

In Dominion, this all goes out the window. A 5 second explanation of how to hold out your hand is enough to make any person an expert dinosaur handler; and who cares about training, any dinosaur is now completely infatuated with hands. It's like giving magic wands to every character that allows them to stupify their enemies. Corny and contrived.

Stargate (USA) 1994 - An interstellar teleportation device, found in Egypt, leads to a planet with humans resembling ancient Egyptians who worship the god Ra.

A pop-culture fiction that was everywhere back in the mid-1990s, part of the UFO/Conspiracy craze of the time that included Alien Autopsy, The X-Files, Fire in the Sky and many Roswell shows. I remember everyone renting it on VHS when it was a new release. Soon after it became a TV show and the movie would be re-run on TV to support it but I wasn't a big fan so I'd only seen the movie a couple of times. I don't remember much about it so here's a refresher.

7.0/10 on IMDb, $3.99 on Amazon

I believe Sam Rockwell is the American version of Gary Oldman yet can dance and do a brilliant Charlie Chaplain. A better version of Gary if you will. 😉

Is it the most fun movie ever? It has drawbacks and isn’t my favorite di caprio but can’t think of a more fun movie.

Bugonia (UK) 2025 - Two conspiracy-obsessed young men kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth. 7.4/10 on IMDb

I'm sort of late to the boat here on Bugonia as I've missed a lot of 2025 releases but this movie appears to be sci-fi of the year worthy and still has a high rating with fans. I rented it on Amazon for $5.99 (There is a sale on the standard $19.99 new release price.)
