Speaking of laughing, I enjoyed The Menu.  I think someone might have mentioned it here before.  The black humor running through the film was just delicious, if you'll pardon the pun.  Great cast.  Thoroughly enjoyable hour and a half.

As much as I despise cooking shows, cooking competitions, and just cooking, I found this actually kind of fun.

Rebel Moon, an average science fiction adventure that will please fans of the genre but may leave others wanting more.

Mulan (live-action movie) 9 out of 10

Very good movie, flick was well made. the main actress did a great job. great fighting scenes, reminded me of the '7 Swords' movie (which i love), same style. the only reason it lost a point is cause they changed the storyline alittle. in this one they focused more on the military than the family like the cartoon. I prefer the family story arc. im a big fan of Donnie Yen and he did a great acting job as always.

I've been wanting to check out Mulan for all the HK action stars I had no idea were in it until like a year ago.  I have a break in my movie-purchase viewing coming up, I'll have to check it out.

The Beekeeper. 

Absolutely loved it! 9/10...maybe even 10/10 because it was a ton of fun and kept you glued the entire time. Great 80s/90s style popcorn action we don't get much of these days.

Leatherface (3 out of 10)

Ok, heres a tricky one. the reason i gave it a 3 out of 10 is cause of the "supposedly" plot twist. that messed up a pretty good decent movie. they focused at first on a young persona that looked and acted like leatherface but then they switched it to his best friend, which looked like a normal preppy looking teen? like wtf? Leatherface is a heavy set, tall, long hair dude...the plot twist was horse shit! pure garbage. if it didnt have that plot twist, it would have been a 8 out of 10. what a waste of a good movie. thats like saying you go to buy a brand new car but you come out with a bicycle. movie writer idiot.

Watched the Beekeeper-

Lots of dumb fun. I had very low expectations, but it knew what it was, and leaned into it. The bee-puns were great. Biggest problem if you ask me- no one recieved any beestings. I thought there might be some points where he used bees, or something related to kill someone, but not really. Oh well, maybe in part B. 

Watched Wonka as well-

It was fun. Songs were okay. The sets, art direction and supporting cast were fantastic. 
Truthfully though, I felt Timothy Charlomet himself was the weakest part. He never felt natural to me. Also, the Oopma Loompa seemed kinda forced in. 

I'd give both 7/10. I liked Beekeeper more, but don't want to give it something higher, and don't think Wonka deserves a score lower than that. 

Poor Creatures, The Universe is Incredible, the sets and costumes incredible, everything is very neat and dreamlike. We travel in time, we also travel through the main character to totally reinvented cities, it's super creative!

I rewatched LadyHawke with my kids Friday night.  The score blazes with 80s schlock, but other than that it holds up pretty well.  Matthew Broderick is charming.  Michelle Pfeiffer is underutilized.  Rutger Hauer is... Rutger Hauer. I didn't even recognize Alfred Molina.  John Wood is creepy-as-hell just staring at people.

Speaking of things that hold up.  I watched Hero at Large for the 1st time in 40 years.  I'd had it on my (wishful) watchlist for several months and it finally came back on the free streamers.  I was surprised how much I enjoyed seeing it as an adult.  John Rittter's sincerity really shines in that film.

I Saw The Devil — one of the most brutal, gut-wrenching revenge movies I’ve seen. I loved the constant back and fourth between the two lead actors and how it helped further the story. This was a first watch but had to rate it so highly, I was in awe after the film ended

Just saw Kong X Godzilla and enjoyed it as much as the previous film. It’s dumb fun, sure. Every scene with Kong is pretty entertaining. The humans are ok. This film provides big monsters in spades. Also there are so many cities getting thrashed in this film. It’s not Minus One. Completely different things. I’m certain they go extra terrestrial in the next one. It’s very enjoyable.

Thwipp!

Agreed about KvG, it's big dumb fun done well.  Seems obvious to me the next flick will be Kong's last, with him passing the torch to the new kid.
