Geek Mentality

I know so little about the Tom Clancy literary world, or the "Ryanverse" - but I can tell that Amazon sees a franchise on their hands and will try to make that happen - starting with this movie (and their Jack Ryan series). Was this movie great? No. Was it okay? Yeah, I think that's the best way to describe it. Am I glad I watched? I think so. Either way, I do sing during this episode...

I told you! I told you I was going to watch part two of this series, so you really shouldn't be surprised. Today I got home from Mystic, CT and either am watching the movie at home or I watched it early this morning in the hotel room. Can you tell that I wrote this on Sunday night? It's called PLANNING AHEAD!!!

This one has been on the list probably since it premiered back in 2018. Finally getting to it and happy I am finally seeing it. You can use finally twice in one sentence. Yes you can. Anywho, I woke up super early to watch this one today because we're off to Mystic, CT today to go visit the aquarium down there. Staying overnight too, but there's no way I am not getting my movie in. I'm...

While it is hard for me to see Patrick Wilson married to another movie in a horror movie, I have come to terms with it and look forward to delving deeper into the "Insidious" world. Also - no road rage today! Happy Sunday!

Another movie where you're going to say, wait he hasn't seen that yet? Great movie. Pod goes a little off the rails when some jerk on a motorcycle flips me off for a reason I am still not sure about, but it happens whilst recording and well - there are no second takes!

This morning I enjoyed a little venture into space with my (homemade) breakfast burritos. The entire experience was a positive one. I really enjoyed my breakfast and I really enjoyed this movie. A total victory. Ain't life grand?

I love me some Bob Odenkirk, so when I first caught wind about this movie I was super excited to see it. And then I saw it. And guess what - I'm probably more excited. This Nobody sure was somebody. I don't think that was a strong line to go out on, so I added this sentence so maybe you'd forget about that last one.

Another time related movie. Another TIME LOOP movie. And another time loop HULU original movie! The irony is not lost on me that I have been doing pretty much the exact same thing for the past 16 days of my life. I'm very meta. And this movie - is a lot of fun.

Today is another one of those, "You haven't seen this movie yet?" movies. And since the fact that this is today's movie already answers that question, perhaps I can take the rest of this text to just gush over how amazing Jake Gyllenhaal's performance was on this role. Oh you already knew that? Well, aren't you special...

Finally! Finally, I've seen this movie. I can't believe it took me this long. I saw parts 2 and 3 in the theater, but missed out on this entry in the series. I then planned on saving it for a movie month, and don't even remember if I could have watched it last year - but here we are! Again, finally. To infinity....and....you know the rest!

Today I finally ventured to a place I thought I'd never go to see a Movie Month entry - Tubi! But after listening to a podcast (After Lunch podcast) mention this movie recently (aka yesterday) I realized, I'd never seen this movie! And it's that what true meaning of Movie Month is, kids? Robert Downey Jr., Val Kilmer, AND Shane Black? How could I not enjoy this 2005 take on the classic...

Happy Superman Day! Today I celebrated the Man of Steel by watching – Superman III ? On purpose? Well, you can imagine what I thought about this movie. On second thought, don’t imagine, listen and find out for sure!

So I watch this movie and enjoy it enough for what it is - but then forget to mention the "funniest" kill of the movie (think elevator) and I find out after the fact that there is an animated prequel coming to Netflix starring much of the same cast. I guess Netflix is in the Zack Snyder business!

If you've never heard of this movie, that's okay - now you have. Watch it. Now. I'll wait. Okay, welcome back. What did you think? Me too. Bonkers. Silly. Weird. Dumb. All of the above. And so, so, so much fun.

This movie made me want to put on a track suit and get a much cooler accent. So much fun, and I am glad I finally watched it.

Today, I rip the band-aid off of the X-Men franchise hopefully for the last time. The last couple X-Men moves have been pretty bad and it seems like the original franchise is going out with a whimper. Hopefully Disney will rescue (some of) these characters.

I called an audible today. I fully went into today planning on doing a different movie, but when I went to the HBO Max site and saw this highlighted, I realized I've never seen it and I totally wanted to. So I did. And spoiler alert: I loved it. But still listen so you can at least hear my voice. My sweet, sweet voice.

What is it with me and all these time related movies this month? Ain’t nobody got time for that! Is that still a thing? I kinda feel like that’s not a thing anymore. Oh, and I really dug today’s movie. Big Andy Samberg fan, and a fun as hell movie. Hulu’s website still stinks though.

I'm not much of a drinker - but parts of this movie makes me wish I drank more. Other parts make me happy that I don't. All in all, there's movie won the Oscar for Best International Film. I have one simple rule with foreign language films - no English dubbing. Read like an adult.

I like these Christopher Landon movies because they take an established concept and just add a little twist – and a lot of gore. Good family fun!

The Warrens are back! I realized today that I really enjoy watching Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson play these characters, and hope this isn't the end. I think this might be the first "same day" movies where it was also released in theaters. Sure, I am looking forward to going back to the movies - but if I can choose couch over theater - couch win every times. 

Finally I saw the giant lizard fight the giant gorilla. Did I like this as much as the last Godzilla movie? Well, you're going to have to listen if you want to find out. C'mon, you've come this far. Hit play. Do it. I dare you.

I have to admit - this movie blew my mind. It could be related to lack of sleep, and I am pretty sure I understood a good 54% of what I was seeing - but what I did comprehend, I enjoyed the hell out of.

The time has come. It's June again and here I am back for year 8 of Movie Month! Ready to watch 30 more movies (Movies 211-240) in 30 days - and talk about it to all of you cool kids. Let the good times roll with my first pick of the month - the 2020 "Bill and Ted Face The Music" - one of the many movies that totally got screwed by that pesky pandemic. But at least I finally watched it...

For the first time in a long time I sat down and watched the 1980 Richard Lester (sorta Donner) film, " Superman II ." And let me tell you as great as Christopher Reeve is, this movie just was not as good as I used to think it was.
