Idag tittade jag på en film som rekommenderades till mig av min gode vän och podd-medvärd Christopher Morris. Och han spikade det. Jag älskade det. Åh, Mads Mikkelsen söker hämnd och hämnd för sin fru? Ja anmäl mig!

Happy Saturday fellow good looking people! Today I watched a prequel to the Kingsman movies that is simply called "The King's Man." I did not like it as much as the original 2 Kingsman movies, mainly because it was not as good as those movies - BUT - I still found that there was stuff in there to enjoy. So I enjoyed that stuff.

Sometimes a movie comes along that just hits you in the right spot perfectly, and today was one of those movies. A very small western with great characters, great acting, and some moments that left my jaw hanging right open. Well one moment for sure. If you are into these types of movies I highly recommend it it. Listen only if you watched because there will be spoilers.

Happy Thursday movie nerds! Today was a lighthearted fun romp, and my second (and still possibly not last) Ryan Reynolds movie of the month. And his second movie directed by Shawn Levy. Watched it early today so I can (hopefully) enjoy the Celtics tonight. If you don't follow basketball, you'll probably realize how they do tonight by my mood tomorrow....But until then - enjoy this movie. I did.

We're here! We're at the halfway point of year 9 of Movie Month already! Today I watched a Nicolas Cage movie that was NOT exactly what I was expecting - and that is in no way a complaint. Another rare, small, not-a-franchise movie today - with some fantastic performances.

I must say - I thoroughly enjoyed today's movie. I thought it made fun of how the world in this country is today, but also made me think - yeah there's a good chance that's how the world really would react. What made this movie more fun is that part of it was filmed in Massachusetts at the beach I take my dog to in the Fall and Winter. I went down there when I knew they were filming, and although it was after the fact there were still some remnants of the production. There were these huge tents that I assume they used for the cast and crew, and then there some things I saw that made it on camera. I this scene, where people are watching a rocket launch....Well that was all digitally added - but the countdown clock screen was very real... And with all the reports and news vans there - you get a glimpse of one on camera. That was one of three prop news vans I saw there that day. Cast wise it looks like it was mostly extras - but maybe some of the actors who spoke were actually there, but it looked l

Welcome back movie nerds! It's a new week and a new day of movie month. I wonder if I should start a new tradition of watching a horror movie on the 13th day of every month. I may have accidentally done so it the past - and this is probably more of a dark comedy than a horror movie - so maybe...maybe I'll start a new tradition of doing a horror movie OR a horror comedy on the 13th of every month. Or maybe I'll forget and this will be the last time you hear about it - either way I really enjoyed today's movie...

Oh cool, another franchise. I knew I was going to watch this movie sometime this month, but it wasn't until this morning that I decided today would be the day. I love the first Matrix. I've seen the two sequels... This falls somewhere in between for me. I think it's probably the best sequel even though there were moments I was had no idea why things were happening, nor did I care enough to stop and try to figure them out. I just came along for the ride, which sometimes is good enough for me.

Finally. Really, what else is there to say? Finally I saw this movie. Am I the last comic book and comic book movie fan on Earth to see "Spider-Man: No Way Home?" It is quite possible. Was it worth the wait? Hell, that is quite probable....but why not listen to find out for sure...

My dog woke me up at 5:15am this morning. So while I was awake I thought - let's watch today's movie. I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to watch, but looking at my list of potentials I thought - this one should be an easy one to get through this early. And it pretty much was. Sure there were a lot of eye-rolling moments, but I admit M. Night Shyamalan movies are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, even the more recent ones. In fact, this is the fifth Shyamalan movie that he's either directed or written that I've covered for Movie Month (including the first movie month movie ever). And I have to admit, I enjoy them all, and I enjoyed this movie - even though I know what I'm watching is not that great - there are still some fun/creepy moments to watch in between eye-rolls.

What is this? A movie not based on a book? Not based on a comic? Not part of a franchise? Not a remake? A reboot? A reebok sneaker? Today I watched the Netflix film, The Adam Project. A fun action/adventure family-friendly movie revolving around time travel. Gee, I wonder if I liked it...

Happy Wednesday Geeks! Did you know that today's movie was not nominated for any Academy or Critics Choice Awards? However it was nominated both for "Favorite Movie" by People's Choice Awards and, more impressively, it was nominated for "Worst Film of the Year" by the Hawaii Film Critics Society. It lost out to Space Jam: A New Legacy. While this movie is not high art, it's not the worst movie I've seen (I'm talking about in these last 8 days even). It knows what it is and it tried to have some fun with it.

For six days I've yet to watch a movie that isn't part of some sort of franchise - and the tradition continues with the 2022 Scream. It was okay - better than Scream 4 - but most movies are....

Eternals. That seems like a fitting title for a movie that just kept going and going and going. I didn't hate this movie, but I far from loved it. It was.....it just - was. Going in, this was the Marvel movie I was looking forward to the least and in that sense it did not disappoint. That being said, there was stuff I enjoyed in it. What exactly? Well you'll have to listen to find out.

It's Sunday Funday fellow Earthlings! Today I watched the most recent moving picture in the Harry Potter universe - the one not many people like or saw in the theater. There's some stuff I did like about it and stuff I didn't - and I talk about it in my backyard again. WHAT A PODCAST!

It's Saturday! It's Day 4 - and it's Marvel Again! Today I watched the quite enjoyable action-adventure comic book romp, "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings." And right now as I am typing this my dog is at the door - so I am going to go take her out. I hope you enjoy my thoughts on this fun movie.

It's FRIDAY! I'm in a good mood because the weekend is here, the Celtics won last night, and I finally watched the new Ghostbusters movie that had me smiling pretty much the entire time. I mean, did you really think I was NOT going to like it?

It's Thursday! It's Day 2! And I am finally getting back into the Marvel swing of things. Tonight I watched Black Widow and almost got the entire podcast recorded before my friend showed up to watch the Celtics game and almost ruin this wonderful show. Almost - I'm too professional to let that happen.

Wait, it's June again already??? Boy did that go by fast! I can't believe it's already year 9 of Movie Month! This year, I am ready to watch 30 more movies (Movies 241-270) in 30 days - and then talk about it right here to all your smart, good looking people with amazing taste in podcasts. Let's kick off the year going back to a world that some say is furious. Some say is fast. Some say is dumb. Some say is silly. I say - can't it be all of the above!?

We did it! 31 days of Marchy McFly 2 comes to an end with the 31st and final watching of "Back to the Future Part II" and this the 31st and final podcast episode. I saved the biggest for last as I do my best to retell the movie, scene-by-scene, with nothing but my memory. Did I get everything correct - I seriously doubt it. Do I care that much - I seriously do not! It's not about being perfect - it's about having fun and enjoying this movie, which I definitely did even with all my critiques. And while one chapter of Marchy McFly comes to an end - remember there are only eleven months until we get to do it all over again, and I sure as hell cannot wait!
