I watched John Wick 4. A good conclusion to the series.

TMNT mutant mayhem was really great. It's a different kind of turtles, one way more focused on the teen part and not as much as the ninja part. So that aspect of the story and lore didn't work for me as much but man is the movie a ton of fun.

As someone who grew up with the turtles I do want to go see it. Looks like a lot of fun.

Heh, I'm so out of touch with movies; I didn't know there was a new TMNT movie. LOL

I saw that it got pretty good reviews. Definitely sounds like they're taking apart the standard origins for a ton of characters and creating some new lore. That may irk me a bit, so I'll just wait for video.

I just watched Abigail. It's about a group of kidnappers who take a job and then find out the little 10-year-old ballerina they kidnapped is actually a vampire. The movie was awful. I know some people who enjoyed it, but I actually thought it was one of the worst movies I've seen in a while. Besides a ton of gaps in logic, The actors seemed to be in disagreement of what kind of movie they were in. Some were being super hammy and over the top and treating it like it was a cheesy bee movie. Others are trying to win an academy award. It does not mix well together.

The family and I went to see Inside Out 2 in theatre this weekend.  It's a pixar movie in which half of the movie takes part inside the protagonist's head, with different emotions being portrayed by different characters, as she gets a first taste of puberty.

The first movie was pretty great, this second one is...  messier?  Some of it is by design, as everything is a metaphor about how life gets more complex at a certain age.  I think that assuming the movie is only messier because of this, would be giving it too much credit.  There's double the amount of emotions this time round, so something had to give.  Still an enjoyable family movie, but not as good as the first.

I only watched a small part of the first one and found it thoroughly depressing.

I saw Maxxxine this weekend. It's the final installment of Ti West's X trilogy, or at least it is until he decides to make a fourth. Although, after this one, they're very well may not be a fourth. Sadly it was not very good.

Aesthetically, he absolutely nails the look he's going for, of a lower mid-budget early '80s horror or thriller movie. It has that same washed out. Look against the backdrop of La that so many of those movies had, and it more or less would have fit in well. Unfortunately, Maxine was just never an interesting character, and The story juggles more ideas than it can resolve or handle. So aside from a couple really good scenes, you're left with a movie that looks good, and has an odd fascination with Psycho, but overall not much else.
