Recently watched movies

Event Horizon, 1997 - ★★
The dialogue, sound effects, and random slow-mo shots are all extremely silly, and the last third of this movie is a strobe light show. The ships look very cool, though. Two out of five demons.

Deadpool, 2016 - ★★
The novelty of a Marvel movie making sex jokes and saying “fuck” constantly has worn off quite a bit, but there are still a few fun parts. Two out of five mutants. “I told you, we're going with the Oordvash, not the Bjorsha, get it through your head or get outta fuck town!”

Hank Green: Pissing Out Cancer, 2024 - ★★★
Don't be a Trent.

X-Men: Apocalypse, 2016 - ★★★
Watched on Saturday July 20, 2024.

X-Men: Days of Future Past, 2014 - ★★★★★
Fantastic. The best X-Men film, and possibly the best superhero movie ever made. Five out of five killer robots. "Just because someone stumbles and loses their path, doesn't mean they're lost forever."
