Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning: 6.5/10. Writing didn't make too much sense and apart from the decent airplane stunt, there weren't enough of them. Quite silly at times, especially Tom's new hair cut, which looks ridiculous.
PC: Yes. Console: No.

F1: The Movie - Bono, my tires are gone /10
I imagine that quite a few people who don't follow Formula 1 might find the movie entertaining or even mesmerising to some degree thanks to the constant high-octane action and solid visuals. Unfortunately, all I got was a dose of genuine facepalming like in those career stories from the games, but with considerably more 'Murican cringe involved due to the laughable premise and its developments. Not to mention that with the modern rules Sonny "Max Damage" Pitt would've collected multiple race bans in a row, making the Crashgate from 2008 look like trivial business in comparison  
It is an obvious ad with extra steps as expected, one that's derpier than necessary and fully belongs to the Holly-fi genre.

The Monkey was great fun, so awkward and over-the-top at times, a great watch with a friend.

The Man in the Iron Mask (1998) - 9/10
What a cast, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Gérard Depardieu, Gabriel Byrne, Hugh Laurie, they don't make them like this anymore

Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight 8/10
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt14164922/
2 more episodes to go, but this is really good. Looks great, and the jokes are taken straight from the comics.
Also, the spoken French is hilarious at times (the parts I understand, of course, because they talk like a TGV), like the kids in the first episode or the roman soldiers.
Very much recommended, especially if you like Asterix (was my favorite comic as a kid, so I might be biased).
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

"The boorish Roman centurion Nebulus Nimbus and his scheming advisor Felonius Caucus are replaced with the thickheaded general Fastanfurius and his clever niece Metadata."
How dare they replace this gem of a character:
"Chabat aimed to create a faithful"
"Besides Metadata, the miniseries includes several important female characters while the original story had none."
Ah, faithful™.
All kidding aside, it looks pretty good otherwise, might check it out at some point  Or just rewatch the old drawn ones again.

Watched Asterix last week, rating 7/10.
Of course they had to force in female characters again even a black one but they're kept in small side roles. The artstyle is slightly off and lacking detail and especially Caesar looks somewhat wrong.
Atmos sound is pretty good. Some nice jokes both new ones and from the comics. Story is alright, it diverges a lot from the comics towards the second half but overall it was still enjoyable Asterix.

I'm having a very hard time with the butchering of mismatched standout moments taken from the albums shoehorned for a quick gag.
And that “Metadata” is a far cry from any character in the A&O roster. And there were plenty of teenagers (if you need to have one) to take inspiration from.
Disclaimer: I´m grown reading Asterix, have read all the Goscinny albums dozens of times so i´m probably judging this harsher than it deserves

Yeah, the last couple of episodes are a bit less, they deviated more from the comics and it wasn't as good as the first half. But still one of the better Asterix movies/shows in a while.

Naked Gun 2
4/10
Couldn't finish it, so boring and forced it seemed to me, stopped at 30 minutes.
But then again I'm not a big comedies genre fan.

You mean Naked Gun 2 1/2? Or the new one?
If new one I agree. 3-4 out of 10. Tried to watch it last night. Didn't finished it.
It tries, but it does feel forced. Like you can see the attempt to emulate the Airplane/naked gun comedy. And just makes it less funny than the joke they are doing is by itself, because they are trying to force that.
I am a sucker for comedy, about all I watch that isn't 'factual' stuff like science, or woodworking, or 'how its made' type shit.
But this wasn't good. Its like if family Guy tried to do Naked gun. Well it is, sort of. Seth Macfarlane produced it. He didn't direct it but you can feel that 'Stick to doing cartoon families' vibe all his movies give.

I meant The Naked Gun (2025 film). Sorry.
Also despite being boring the movie requires from you to follow the plot and to listen attentively to dialogues and to watch what's going on on the screen both on foreground and on background to attempt to catch all the intended jokes. Since jokes are not that funny, and the movie doesn't allow you to zone out, I decided it's not worth the effort and time to sit thru it till the end.

@zenux
Same one I was speaking of.
I'm with you, the jokes are too 'audience needs buy in' to work. And some are too...long? Drawn out? not sure the right wording. They take too much setup, and time to be worth the payout.
Either in the whole scene was made for that joke, and it's like Norm McDonald 'Moth' Joke (if you know what that means). But here not remotely funny for the time spent on setting it up.
Or its stretched over multiple scenes trying to do the comedy staple of a 'call back' and failing at it landing.
And I still not fond of this movies Frank. Old movies Frank was good at his job by accident. He had the skill, just too oblivious of his surroundings to use it wisely. It came out by pure "He's so good, even as stupid as he is he gets his man..somehow" Like a goofy idiot savant thats special gift was police work. He embodied deadpan.
This one feels like, Meet Frank Drebin:The purposefully snarky badass, that does funny things that are funny, BECAUSE it's not what a badass cop would do.
Just doesn't sit right.
The 1/2 I did watch I kept expecting him to say something like:
 Spoiler: | Listen, I don’t know who you are. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I’ve acquired over a long career in law enforcement. Skills like parallel parking under fire, disguising myself as a potted plant, and accidentally shooting my partner in the foot. These skills make me… well, a nuisance, mostly. But if you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I won’t look for you, I won’t pursue you. I won't kill you |

The Little Things 6/10
Pretty frustrating movie in the end
| Spoiler: | They don't say who the killer is ffs
|
The Naked Gun (2025) 3/10
Same sentiment as the rest, they tried too hard.
The Naked Gun (1988) 7/10
Obviously felt the need to watch the original again. I forgot it starts with Drebin beating up all the evil leaders from back then. After rewatching this, I guess I get what they were going for with the new one, but it didn't improve it either
Eden (2025) 7.5/10
I thought this was pretty good actually. A slow burner with an all star cast, and a good pay-off in the end. Can't say I was bored, even Sydney Sweeney did a good job.
Based on a (crazy) true story, but the movie opens with the ambiguous line "as told by the survivors", so you somewhat know who'll probably die and survive based on the characters portrayals, which was a nice touch to keep you watching to see it all unfold.
Weapons (2025) 7.5/10
Very Stephen King-like, more tension/character driven than "scary" horror, which I liked a lot. Pretty unbelievable premise though (no way the FBI wouldn't be involved from day 1), although the movie tried to explain that too. Satisfying ending too
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

Ballerina - a surprising 7/10 for me. Yes, the story is dull, the characters are dumb. But for one I could just oggle at Ana de Armas for hours, and second the movie has both a | Spoiler: | frag grenade only fight as well as a flamethrower duel |
.
I mean come on! Name one other movie which pulled of such great scenes. Don't care if they were unrealistic, the action was top notch.

such an utterly stupid movie, almost as dumb as Naked Gun which is kind of telling for something which isnt supposed to be parody/comedy. I've played indie FPS games with better and less stupid story and better characters than that movie. Decent fights and action etc but meh. I hate the John Wick movies too though, so its probably just not for me.
