I’ll go first. For me, it’s Across The Spider-Verse. The excellent score and soundtrack is just a bonus.

    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I just shared it with my kids. But we’re godly seeing across the spiderverse tonight, so that might change.

      This is my all-time favorite. One of my favorite memories of this movie was — when I showed it to a way less idealistic friend of mine, he felt so sad when the last of the memories is being removed. I did not expect him to do that let alone like the movie.

    Definitely Spiderverse. It was almost too fast moving at times, but fantastic story telling and, of course, art design.

    Extraction 2, but there wasn’t much competition because I only saw 2 movies this month.

    Dune. While there’s no way to perfectly capture the magic of the intricate machinations of (Frank) Herbert’s universe, the movie gets about as close as anyone could, I think. The only thing in its league is Jackson’s LOTR trilogy, and I think Dune is at least as good if not slightly better. Can’t wait for the second (and hopefully third!) one!

    I really enjoyed Elemental! My boyfriend slept through most of it though haha. It seems to be one of those polarizing movies.

    The animation of Fire and Water was so beautiful and the story did resonate with me as a kinda/sorta immigrant.

    The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). I knew nothing going in and just enjoyed. It was modern and thought-provoking about war and what we owe our veterans. The coolest part is that it asks the tough questions about a war that few of us question as being necessary (World War II).

    Across the Spiderverse was absolutely amazing too but I expected that and it surpassed my expectations.

    Absolutely, by necessity. Can’t really take it for granted that being a lurker won’t overall impact the site. Unfortunately, my usual subs that I participate in haven’t yet made the leap of faith, so its hard to provide quality contribution until that improves

    New movie: Across the Spiderverse without a doubt. Gave it a 9/10. I think i like the first more but it’s a beautiful movie.

    Old and overall: i rewatched Toy Story 2. It’s a 10/10 from me.

      Blackberry was fun, but at times it felt like a poor man’s The Social Network. At least for me.

        I think I’d agree with that. Blackberry is a really good movie, The Social Network is an all-timer.

    I enjoyed Fool’s Paradise. Wasn’t perfect but I feel privileged to watch Charlie Day’s creative mind at work. Also the cast was great, if not utilized to the fullest extent. Satire of the film industry is always a favorite of mine.

    The critics gave it a really hard time though.

    I… have not seen any movies this month actually. Definitely want to check out Spiderman though and Asteroid City looks like it might be fun too.

    It’s not a new one, but I rewatched the 1998 film Dark City (IMDB/RT) 2 weeks ago and totally forgot how atmospheric it was. Whilst it takes it self seriously there’s some pretty bizarre moments, I totally cracked up at a scene where one of the ‘strangers’ exclaims “HE CAN TUNE!” which is followed by a shot of a child stranger smiling and chattering their teeth (YouTube clip)
