I love that movie, I think it's better than the original.

No doubt mentioned previously here but watched 'All of Us Strangers' the past week and it was excellent. 4/5

Sad Shelob and Aragog noises.

I love all of the War of the Worlds iterations. The Spielberg one bothered me a lot, because of Speilberg. He has this thing that he does called the 'special family unit', and it gives characters invincible plot armour.

The first part of that movie is incredible. Once it hits the part where the family starts breaking at the seams, it goes off the rails a bit. The ending could have saved it, but he dropped the ball in favour of his SFU.

Try Eight Legged Freaks as a palate cleanser.

Kingdom of the planet of the apes was 3/4 of a good movie. It had some potential and then fell flat on its face. We were laughing about how stupid and nonsensical the last third was. It’s too bad because they have most of a good movie and then they just completely ####ed it up with a few really really dumb ideas that make no sense at all.

The Truman show was good until he became self aware and then it became over the top.

He sucks

Dumb and Dumber remains awesome. Ace Ventura is really dated and really 90s but is still funny, as long as you take that into account.

Movies like the Mask were never that good to begin with and were just vehicles to cash in on the Jim Carrey craze.

Dumb and dumber is awesome, I feel like it's mostly due to not just casting another comedian in the other role but going with a really good dramatic actor. That balance plays off each other so well. That dynamic with Jeff Daniels seems to keep Carrey from being full Carrey the whole time
