I don't think most people like this movie as much as I do.

It's so dumb and bad, but it's hilarious. I love the tattoo scene.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes
And we reboot again. This time we are going to see how the intelligent apes came to be. The film is written like it could be a prequel to the original 1968 film, but or course takes huge liberties for itself. The story is really heartfelt, well told, and CGI apes work well too. Andy Serkis truly is a gift to motion capture technology.

Overall, I rather enjoyed it. There is a beach scene that … Jennifer Lawerence really committed herself to and gave it her ALL.

Apocalypto
Amazing movie portraying Mayan civilization in its decline, featuring an indigenous cast that speaks in their native tongue. The story follows a young man named Jaguar Paw who becomes captured when his village are attacked by another hostile tribe, and sees himself and his tribesmen get dragged to an ancient Mayan city where they will be sacrificed to the Aztec gods.
The story is simple, yet very compelling. The pacing is excellent, the action is riveting, the whole movie looks beautiful and is is very well shot. The Mayan setting is quite unique, I can't think of one movie that goes this far to portray this particular era with this much attention to detail. I know the movie has been criticized for historical inaccuracies, but it feels authentic, raw and is just dripping with atmosphere. The cast is great, both the heroes and the villains are compelling characters, very believable and very natural in the emotions they display. They are also rocking some very cool outfits, especially the bad guys.
Apocalypto also has great environmental storytelling, with a lot of "show, don't tell" - mentality. You can basically watch the entire movie without sub titles and you will have no issues understanding the characters, the story or what is going on. Say what you will about Mel Gibson, but he's an hell of a film director. Apocalypto is easily his best directorial effort. It's truly one of a kind.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
It was ok. Guy Ritchie needs to stick to crime movies like Snatch or The Gentleman. This one reminded me of Inglorious Bastards, just not as good. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't great.

Jennifer is a stunningly beautiful woman
Now I'm forced to go see Challengers in cinema starring 'I can make a poop face' Zendaya. FUCK

Abigail was actually decent you know. Gets a little bit silly in the final act but the movie sort of earns it. Could been better but could've seen A LOT worse, I think the trailer sort of gives away the reveal but it gets even deeper than that.

It's ok. I had the same issue with this that I did with Leitch's last movie. I didn't find the "comedic banter" clever or funny, and there's A LOT of it. It came off a bit too try hard.

I watched Euphoria the other week and thought she played a drug addict so well, until I realised that’s how she acts in everything.Yes Sir, No Hard Feelings is a great movie.

Ghostbusters - Frozen Empire
Considering I found Afterlife to be thoroughly boring and srupid film, I kind of enjoyed this one. There's still some of the toy commercial side, but it has a good pace and some funny jokes too. Maybe the third act could have gotten to the main action a bit sooner (and the battle was over quite quickly too), but other than that, it was fine. Not a masterpiece or anything, just fine.

Finally watched Dune part 2.
I'm a huge Chris Walken fan but I think he was miscast.
Austin Butler on the other hand

Her and Zendaya were both miscast
I can't stand Austin Butler, his lips are so gross to look at. Whenever that guy shows up I'm like that's some dick sucking lips right there
