Touring Mars
Weathering With You (Makoto Shinkai, 2019)

As per @VBR's recommendation, I watched this on Disney+ the other night having already watched Shinkai's "Your Name."

I really enjoyed it, and particularly loved the sheer accuracy and detail of downtown Tokyo; it's a really compelling story and a beautiful, visual treat throughout.

Your Name. is also brilliant, and I've recommended both films to my nephew - I reckon he might find these films more relatable than the average anime moviey.

Did you end up finishing the trilogy with Suzume (2022)?

So I watched Undertone (HBO Max). Two hours of my life I won't get back is the real horror here. It's one of those movies that A24 seems to buy/produce by the bushel to see what sticks. Starts slow and when it gets to the payoff it ends abruptly because there wasn't much to the story to begin with. 2/10 only because the lead actress Nina Kiri is nice to watch.

11/10

Edit: Oh, forgive me. I must leave a review. Just… just go see it in a theatre. It’s a requirement. Don't watch a trailer. Don’t watch a review. Loudest movie I’ve ever been to. The rest is for you all to experience for yourselves.

Just finished the 2026 “Resident Evil”

Not bad but not great either. Some good jump scares but I didn’t care for the humour.

Some of the set pieces were good, others were a bit of a let down as expected more (they seemed like they were cut short or badly edited)

Weirdly the lowest rated RE film “Welcome to Racoon City” is the one I actually liked the most.

If you get a chance to see this new film then I can say it’s a fun movie but it doesn’t move the franchise on in any great way.

For my brother in law's 33rd birthday
We
Just came back from watching together with his older brother who is into these kind of movies...

I didn't know anything about the plot, how complex could it be, but having caught glimpse of bad reviews about it....

I went in with no expectations to be blown away, and I set the bar for satisfaction extremely low....

Don't worry, I won't spoil anything there, just sharing my impressions about some of the characters:

In the end, It made me laugh a couple of times, a good representation of the game itself, the characters for the most part were close to the game

Blanka was a bit bigger than he should, a but exaggerated like Hulk.
Mr. Bison was a bit smaller underwhelming than he should be.

Some random Joe character?
Ken's wingman was a bit out of the left field, and so was the event MC.

Enjoyed Cammy and Chun-Ly of course...
Vega and E Honda were well portrayed.

Dhalsim was probably my most favorite character there, very well played.

50 Cent was also in the movie, that was totally unexpected but I love that guy so I don't mind that all.

Of course there are bits that are way cheesy and over the top, but it didn't spill over for me... Less than I expected so that's good.

Overall, it was just mindless fun, don't think too deep.
Just enjoy the ride like at a rollercoaster and move on.

I am just happy I spent some times with my two brother in laws, which we rarely do

But Chun-Ly kicked @$$, the main character of the movie...
She is always the character I select when playing the game, I am glad they made her a central point of the movie.

Today I watched Godzilla Minus One (in a non-IMAX screen because they were all sold-out) and I have thoughts about it, but before I post them here I'll rewatch Godzilla Minus Zero. I did enjoy the movie.

I played the Resident Evil games on PS1/Dreamcast, up until Code Veronica, and recently the RE2 remake and some of Resident Evil 7. I'm not really invested in the series anymore and that's probably why I liked the recent movie just for what it is.

He didn’t spoiler it, but just the mention of what he said is a spoiler. Again, I recommend avoiding the reviews. He even said had he not known what he heard and then saw the movie, he would have come away better for it. All I knew was my wife bought our tickets two weeks ago. We saw Clayface last week and then saw Minus Zero yesterday. I didn’t even know another one was coming. I hadn’t even seen a trailer or poster, ad, nothing. Went in totally blind.
I’m still not saying anything about it. Everyone, on this website at least, should get that same feeling of not knowing before watching.
 
I watched Godzilla Minus Zero on Saturday, fantastic film. Was it better than Minus One? No, not in my opinion. Will everyone enjoy it? No, probably not, it isn't the fast paced roller coaster the Hollywood films are. But if you did like Minus One as I did, you'll probably enjoy this. IMO it was a brilliant sequel that carries on the themes and character stories from the first film well.

One criticism I would have on the character development is Shikishima went through some of the same character arc he went through in the first film. But the acting was great, and the big monster fight at the end, it was brutal. It could have been a bit longer, but I enjoyed every moment of it. It really captured the brutality of animal fights, which do tend to be quick, brutal and don't last that long.

The question is:
Do you need to watch the One before watching the Zero ?

I would say it helps, it will explain certain character motivations and why certain things are the way they are. But you can probably figure a lot out on your own and the film does give a decent amount of exposition early on.
 
On November 12, Wildwood will be rereleased in Mexico with a new Spanish dubbing, this after the original was savaged by audiences, causing poor attendance numbers in a country that usually loves animated films. I think this is unprecedented!
