Movie #34: Evil Dead Rise

To my great shame, this is actually the first Evil Dead movie I’ve seen.

Movie #39: Contagion

BTW I make these mini reviews using https://quickreviews.app ✌️

Movie #41: The Evil Dead

I decided to stop watching the series in reverse and get to the start.

Movie #42: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

It’s a coincidence, but it’s honestly perfect that this was my 42nd movie of the year.

Movie #44: The Evil Dead

Watched again with friends, and my review from a few weeks ago still stands https://isfeeling.social/@matt/110480500496987707

Movie #45: Evil Dead 2

I expect this to somehow be one of my less popular reviews, even though I liked it 🫣

Movie #53: Air Force One

Worried I'm going to lose followers over this one…

Movie #58: Sisu

P.S. I’m on Letterboxd and post all my reviews there as well. I’d love to follow more people there, so drop your profile 😁 https://letterboxd.com/mattbirchler/

Movie #61: Jurassic Park III

This was actually the first DVD I ever owned. I liked it at the time, but woof, it’s way worse than I remembered 😬

Movie #62: Jurassic World

Was going to give this one an “okay” score until the final act. An all time shocker 😂

Movie #63: Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1

Saw this in a Dolby Vision theater and it was pretty great. Video and audio were nice, but the bass in the seats elevates certain scenes.

@matt Our little local community theater is running this in a couple weeks. Of six friends watching the preview during the Asteroid City showing we went to as a group—all of us 90s kids, one of us not conservative (or very conservative) **at the time of release**—my wife, was the only one who saw it or even remembered it existed back then.

All six of us thought, based on the trailer, that it could easily be mistaken for a modern Netflix hit from any time in the last year or two.

@NateBarham haha the effort is noted and understood 😂

That’s a good callout actually, it does feel a bit like it could be on Netflix these days. I was pretty young in 99, but when I think back to the way the world was back then (I was conservative at the time as well) it made me appreciate more how outside the mainstream this really was for the time.
