What's a rom-com you'll never get tired of rewatching?
Rewatched 13 Going on 30 today, and honestly, early 2000s rom-coms have a charm that’s hard to replicate. The nostalgia, the soundtracks, the romance, EVERYTHING.
What's that one rom-com you could watch a hundred times and never get tired of? Drop your favourites! 🎬

What's a movie that you really don't like, but is widely considered a very good movie? Why?
Inglorious Basterds would be my pick, I watched the movie without knowing what it's about, but I saw basically universal praise for it. It left me throughly unimpressed. Aside from the scene with the French farmer which I admit was very well done, the movie left me questioning what exactly was I watching. I couldn't tell if it wants me to take it seriously (previously mentioned scene), or the contrary (Goebbels crying like a baby when Hitler compliements his movie comes to mind, or his sex scene.... Cartoonish). Hell I couldn't even decide if the movie wants me to sympatise with the Germans or not - for example the protagonists execute a brave German officer in cold blood, kill another soldier deeply concerned about his family, the sniper at the movies end has PTSD.... These do not fit at all in a movie who's main antagonist is a psychopatic SS officer and the ultimate goal is to kill Hitler (and the entire nazi leadership, seems like).
Basically this movie has it's moments and places it shines at but the incredibly inconsistent tone left me feeling confused and made it impossible for me to enjoy the movie.
Honorable mention goes to the Godfather, a movie that was kinda boring to me, so many scenes are just "mafia guys talking about mafia things" and it just doesn't make for a fun viewing, but that opinion is so controversial (and I imagine outright wrong) that I leave it as a fun footnote.
Anyway if anyone made it here I'd love to hear your thoughts, I love talking about movies even tho I didn't see all that many

Just saw Digger (2026) and it was amazing
This is gonna be without spoilers and a bit off the top of my head since I literally just saw it but man I really dug this movie...............................................................I will jump off the ledge for that joke after this, don't worry.
In all seriousness though, the cinematography was amazing which is no surprise, it's the same people behind Birdman and The Revenant. The acting is also fantastic, Tom Cruise and Riz Ahmed especially.
And I loved the set design which I don't often comment on when reviewing a movie but in this case it is a big part of the story.
And while I did say no spoilers, there is one big twist in like the first 20 minutes that the trailers don't show that changes how you will view the whole film.
So yeah, loved it. Hope it does well since it's been a while since Alejandro's last big film.
To say some final thoughts, there is a scene with the president played by John Goodman where he has a big speech and it's like in the middle portion of the film and it is one of the funniest and sadly scarily realistic scenes I have seen.
I swear if you ever secretly recorded a politician talking with his staff, I have a feeling it would sound quite similar.

Movies about art thieves/museum heist/ antiques-robbery etc?
No preference in language. Looking for more grounded, realistic type movies. Not a huge fan of big flashy movies like Oceans 11, but it's not necessarily a dealbreaker if the story and performances are good.
I have already seen and liked The Score (2001). I usually prefer movies from the 80s-90s-00s.

Does sex appeal still sell tickets?
I had this thought when seeing the promotional material for the new Street Fighter movie. I don't think it'll be the best movie ever, but I think it'll be fun and I'm excited to see it. One thing I've noticed is that the ENTIRE promotional run seems carried by Callina Liang (the actress for Chun Li.) Outside of advertisements her posting a picture of her in costume and going viral for it seems to be driving a lot of the hype behind the movie. I'm curious if there are any other cases recently where sex appeal seems to be the driving force for a movie's hype? Obviously I'm not trying to say this is the ONLY reason for the movie getting any hype, but I do think it's a huge factor in the promotion of the film.

For those who watched the movie Malena, what do you think about Renato's father hiring a prostitute for his 13-year-old son? How normal was it really back then?
Now, I think: obviously, this stems from the era the movie is set in. Still, I want to know: do you justify it because of that? Or do you believe it should have been seen as grounds for condemnation even back then?

What’s your favorite Zombie movie?
Amongst a plethora of zombie flicks, what is that one movie that stands out you?
For me it’s 28 Days Later. It’s a perfect movie to me.
Cillian Murphy is fantastic, and the score by John Murphy is perfection. The humans being more monstrous in the end than the zombies themselves was horrifying.
What’s your favorite zombie movie?
