motorharpMad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) - In a theater! I like all the Mad Max movies and I forgot about the cow fur car. Not hide, FUR. And the costumes were sparking a bit of nostalgia for me - not that I ever wore or saw anyone wearing their like, but they just had that aesthetic.
Candyman (2021) - Beautifully shot. An excellent continuation of the story (from the 1997 film). There are so many layers looking at racism. This is one of those films that I keep thinking about for a while after I see it.
Just Like Heaven (2005) - The Marvel movies turned me on to the gem that is Mark Ruffalo. I needed something light and frothy and this fit the bill.
Free Guy (2021) - I feel like I'd seen most of the movie from the trailers, but that was ok. But also, because of that, I had already laughed at most of the jokes. This was definitely fun, though.
The Lost City (2022) - In the theater! I was expecting more from this based on how much I laughed at the trailer, but it was still fun. It was like a light Romancing the Stone jungle adventure. Sandra Bullock is such a great physical comedian. And Brad Pitt! omg. I'd like to watch it again with subtitles - there was a lot of "two people talking over each other".
That Golden Girls Show: A Puppet Parody (2022) - Ok, not a movie, but certainly worth a mention. Puppeteers control and voice torso puppets of the 4 fabulous ladies of Miami and reenact a couple episodes. The puppeteers are acting along with the puppets, but are in all black, so not the focus, but still added a lot to the show. It was utterly delightful. The voices they did were great. The woman that did Blanche/Rue McClanahan was spot on, and so was the man who played Dorothy/Bea Arthur.
