    Constantine. I’ve seen it dozens of times and it never gets old. Tilda Swinton as Gabriel and Peter Stormare as Satan are a big part of why.

    I watched Last Action Hero a few years ago for the first time, and it honestly didn’t even feel that dated. It held up!

    For me it was Alice in Wonderland (2010). I really enjoyed the whole “I do six impossible things before breakfast” thing. I was also really drunk when I watched it.

    In 2006, a movie was released in which an evil AI is defeated by Shia LeBouf.

    The evil AI’s plan? Kill the president!

    Why does the AI want to kill the president? he has too much unchecked power and bombed village of innocent people in the middle east and the AI told him not to because it could not confirm if there was actually a terrorist there.

    How does Shia LeBouf defeat the evil AI? Opening fire at the capitol to cause a panic.

    The war in Iraq was ramping up at the time, how was there not rioting at screenings? How is this not a controversial movie?

    The acting is not great, but it deserves better than 27% on Rotten Tomatoes when the message of the film is the government does bad stuff and should be persecuted for it

    Hot take, I enjoyed Chappie. I don’t care that there’s some self-insert band in there, it’s just a funny robot movie

    I loved The Chronicles of Riddick! It’s bombastic space opera, of which we have much too little that isn’t Star Wars tripe, and Vin Diesel is perfect in this role.

    There’s lots of them but one that hasn’t been mentioned is Sucker Punch. It’s 6.1 on IMDB and 22% on Rotten Tomatoes and I loved the visuals.

    Also, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is terrible but everyone needs to watch the opening sequence

    Van Wilder

    Soundtrack is incredible, it’s one of Tara Reid’s best roles, the cast is absolutely stacked, and IMO it’s basically Deadpool without the costume. It’s Ryan Reynolds best movie to date, and if he doesn’t return for a second (the sequel doesn’t exist) his career afterwards is ultimately pointless.

    Freddy got fingered is the most notorious example of a movie with very funny/memorable scenes that got hated.

    Palm Springs should have had best movie oscar, much less nominated, is my biggest pet peave.

    2003’s the core. I always loved the semi friendly rivalry between Zimsky and Brazz. And how Keys (the main character) is sort of the glue that holds the team together and I think the cast has a good energy together as a whole. Combine that with genuinely enjoyable yet ridiculous 90’s style end of the world action / world destruction scenes and you got a 10 / 10 in my book.

    Dude Where’s My Car?

    Nothing spectacular but I thought it was pretty funny. I still remember laughing my ass off at individual scenes. I read ten or eleven reviews of it, and all of them except one said it was the worst movie they had ever seen. Not just bad - the WORST movie they’d EVER seen. Wat?
