what i watched in april ˙ᵕ˙
haii and welcome to my FIRST blog!! I decided to talk about something that is already time consuming for me and that is movies and tv-shows. MAYBE maybe this will turn into a monthly thing, but I have not a single bone in my body that would ever remember to come back to this. We will see...
What makes april easy is that I finished zero tv-shows, so I have nothing to mention about them here. Movies is another story, since I usually watch plenty ૮ ◞ ﻌ ◟ ა
It did take me a week of april to watch the first movie of the month, which was the super mario bros movie that I went to see with my sister on april 7th. I thought it was alright. It is obviously geared at a younger audience so I will not judge it based on pace or whatever, but that did mean it was just so-so. I'm sure if I'd been like 9 years old I would have thought it was the best movie ever created, but I am 20.
Then I decided to start watching each and every resident evil movie. 12th of april I watched the first installment, which was surprisingly entertaining and not at all bad. Was it great? Not at all. But I had a good time and I think what they decided to do with the franchise was interesting. April 13th was less lucky, apocalypse is an awful movie. My letterboxd review is just the word 'what', and I don't have anything else to add. It was so ass I had to take a 3 day break before watching extinction on april 16th. I was not sure if it could be worse. It was so much worse. So far in every installment the main character, Alice, has started and/or ended up being naked in every movie. Zombie birds, trans-coded character dubbed k-mart and Alice getting superpowers. I will be honest and say that's really all I remember from extinction. Then I started watching welcome to raccoon city, but it was so boring I stopped watching halfway through.
I gave up on the resident evil run and watched knives out with my mom. 3rd watch and it still held up, though knowing the twists makes it a little boring upon rewatch. But still very good. It was my mom's first time watching, so I was happy to hear her theories.
Mischief!! April 19th I continued my resident evil run and finished watching resident evil: welcome to raccoon city. Worst casting I have seen in my life. I did like their Leon Kennedy, though it is not game Leon at all. But i care for him nonetheless. The rest? Don't care. It was soooo boring and the real horror was realizing I still had an hour of the movie to go. Since this one I have not continued the RE run (I am writing this on may 22nd).
Ant-man quantumania on april 22nd. What the hell. I have never been a fan of the ant-man movies, but since I did enjoy the 2nd installment I expected a tiiiiiny bit better. But it was ass. The intro was ass. The plot was ass. The ending was ass. The only hype moment was when all the ants entered the battlefield. Cringe script. I am so sorry Scott Lang. You deserve better.
Watched barbie and the magic of the pegasus when we had a sleepover at my place on april 24th. Second time I have seen it, last time being when I was like 7 years old. My sister is 7 and watched it for the first time so that was fun. It was a barbie movie alright.
April 26th watched X-men the last stand with oomfies (haiii). I think we need to stop saying the x-men movies are bad and just start accepting that fun movies are good movies. I had not seen this one yet but magneto and professor X were still gay as hell.
Last movie of the month was not really a movie but John Mulaneys new show: baby J. I watched this in the car going to Prague and I had a blast. Awesome comeback show. I think he handled talking about his drug problems very well and with good balance of seriousness and humor. It did have a bit of a weird tone to me knowing how his addiction has hurt others, but I also think that that does not have to come to light in a comedy show, as long as he is mindful of it in his personal life, of which I'm sure he is. I thought this one was great and I look forward to what he will be doing in the future.
That's all. Goodbye. ॱ⋅.˳˳.⋅˙ॱᐧ.˳˳.⋅ઇଓ
