Accurate post, is accurate.
Is it just me, or is Mr Snyder still rent seeking off of 300?

His role was more subdued but he steals every scene he is in.
Primer. It's on Prime ironically.
Been meaning to watch this for years. Its a time travel romp. The twist is it only cost something like 48 thousand dollars to make. So for it not to be shit everything needs to work.
It does.
Really good film. You need to pay attention but it's only 78 mins long. Feels a lot longer thanks to the depth of the script. It's best to watch it knowing nothing about it I'd say.
A solid 8.5

MMA Tranny's #4.
It wasn't until after I watched the full movie(twice) that I realized I misread the title and it had nothing to do with MMA trainees. Even so it had some great twists and turns and a surprise ending so I figured I better watch the rest of the series in case I missed something.
8/10 stars.

Galaxy of Terror, Roger Corman, 1981.
Interesting cast, Sid Haig, not playing a villain. Erin Moran with two years of Happy Days to go. Robert Englund just before slasher film success. Ray Walston, who ST fans will know as Boothby.
James Cameron, future king of the world, did some matte paintings.
I won't ruin it as it's a bad film worth seeing. Not hilariously bad, but unintentionally funny in parts.
But for a couple of elements it could've been a decent low budget b movie Alien ripoff.
Feels like a movie that had scenes removed that contained important exposition. I was constantly confused about how did they get here, who is this now, where'd he get that from?
Edited to add, it's not for kids. There's an infamous scene where a giant slime alien attacks, strips naked, and rapes a woman.
According to the original script there was MORE thrusting and the woman is shown enjoying it.

Meet the Patels
7.5/10
Documentary. It was really funny in a sweet sort of way. Recommended for a movie with the Mrs. or family.

"MEET THE PATELS is a laugh-out-loud real life romantic comedy about Ravi Patel, an almost-30-year-old Indian-American who enters a love triangle between the woman of his dreams ... and his parents. Filmed by Ravi’s sister in what started as a family vacation video, this hilarious and heartbreaking film reveals how love is a family affair.
Fresh out of a breakup with his secret white girlfriend, who his parents knew nothing about, and freaked out that he’s almost 30 and single, Ravi goes on a family vacation to India with his head and heart spinning.
Ravi is willing to do whatever it takes to find love—but there’s one tricky detail to consider: In his family, everyone has the last name Patel. Patels marry other Patels. It’s not incest, it means they are from the same 50-square mile radius in India. Struck with how overwhelmingly happy the marriages are of his Patel family and friends, Ravi enters a fool-proof Patel matchmaking system and embarks on a worldwide search for another American Patel just like him.
A well-oiled machine, the Patel network is instantly alerted of Ravi’s availability through his legendary matchmaker mother and his life-advice-spouting father, both of whom expertly quarterback Ravi’s love life through a system that has brought love into the lives of all of Ravi’s cousins. During this process, Ravi can’t seem to shake his documentarian sister who follows him around, inserting unhelpful commentary at every whim. Over the course of a year, Ravi’s parents send him on a whirlwind of dates around the United States via the “Biodating” system, a chain of weddings, online matrimonial websites, and the “Patel Matrimonial Convention.” Witty and brutally honest, this comedy explores the questions with which we all struggle: What is love? How do we find it? And even then, how do we keep it?
Directed by siblings Ravi Patel and Geeta Patel, this award-winning film comes to you from Producer Janet Eckholm (AMERICAN SPLENDOR) and Academy Award Winning Executive Producer Geralyn Dreyfous (BORN INTO BROTHELS/THE SQUARE) and PBS. With unique animation and a soulful soundtrack that will have audiences dancing in their seats, MEET THE PATELS melds the documentary and narrative form. Geeta and Ravi, along with their quirky parents keep audiences entertained and glued to the screen. MEET THE PATELS is a film everyone can relate to regardless of gender, age, or cultural background — after all, we have all been there.
MEET THE PATELS also uses humor to address a timely social issue: In early 2009, directors, sister and brother team, Geeta and Ravi Patel began to explore and document the societal pressures of marriage in their first-generation Indian American family. Through research in India and America, they discovered that their “Indian Issue” was more of an “American Issue”: the majority of Americans with strong cultural and religious roots shared a serious psychological conflict when it came to dating (and marrying) outside of their skin color, culture, religion, and ethnicity."

Finally got round to watching The Dictator with Sacha Baron Cohen, thankfully not as cringy as Borat. Not an all time classic by any means, but had some genuinely funny moments and kept me entertained.
7.5 / 10, worth a watch.

Currently watching 1991's Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend.
Lots of tits bookended by a weirdo and his endless internal monologuing.
It's incredibly bad. Reminds me a lot of Things.

F9 (Fast and Furious)
3/10
You go into these movies expecting to lose a few brain cells in exchange for decent action scenes and a somewhat decent plot structure.
This was bad, even for a movie in this saga. All over the place, no real bad guy, just throwing 5 storylines at the audience with zero continuity.
Hobbes & Shaw is the upper limit for one of these films. F9 is the lowest of the low. Probably the worst entry in the series thus far. I can't remember every stupid entry, but I don't remember watching one that was this bad.

Haven't seen F9, but your synopsis of the rest of the series is out to lunch so...
This is the 6th or 7th highest grossing film franchise in history.
Just shows how stupid people are.
I think I might have seen 2 of them. I cannot believe how people are engaged with this. Well I can. They voted for trump and believe the election was stolen and have numerous assault rifles in their homes.

It's very impressive how they've tapped into the American psyche with these shit films. The producers can be the David Benioff and D.B. Weiss of cinema - free to create utter shite, except in their case they don't have to worry about pissing off a bunch of nerds.

(1)
there are thousands and thousands of people doing silly little arm movements. no talent. no creativity. they are cute. so thats the hook. but these videos get millions of views which leads me to believe that viewers get hyponitized by the patterns of hand movements or something and watch a bunch in a row
(2) or even worse, the change of clothes clips. someone will jump up and when they land, they are wearing a different outfit. its some pre-school level video editing. but it works. so again, i think those videos must be able to somehow hypnotise people into watching a bunch in a row or something
At least F&F has car chases and explosions.
not sure if it was just because i was young or not, bc yne first movie was awesome. and second was ok. but maybe just for nostalgia reasons.
only seen 1 or 2 more after that and they were lacluster. one had The Rock i think
