AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Minority Report(2002): When Spielberg hits, he REALLY hits. Visually kind of hard to look at from how unbelievably bright it is but other than that it's non-stop intrigue. Love the clear inspirations from Hitchcock, and I definitely need to check out more stuff adapted from Phillip K Dick's novels. 010
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome(1985): I mean...y'know...I liked the Thunderdome bits...wasn't a big fan of the Saturday morning kids cartoon that came after...maybe don't go beyond next time. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Suzume(2022): Makoto Shinkai only knows how to make one movie, but this version of it was still pretty decent. I think it might have been funnier than "Your Name" but in every other area it loses out. Not bad tho. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Dog Man(2025): Took my nephew to see this and it sure was fine. Not as good as Captain Underpants but that just might be the grumpy old man in my heart talking. ACAB does in fact include Dog Man sadly. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025The Apprentice(2024): (Okay I'm finally caught up sorry if you wanna see when I actually watch things go to my Letterboxd). Avoided this one for a while for...obvious reasons...but it was actually very compelling. Strong and Stan are incredible to the point where it's a little scary. Glad I saw it. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Heart Eyes(2025): Watched this because I love Dropout and wanted to support Josh Ruben. Really solid time at the movies I gotta say. I laughed a good bit and some of the kills were pretty creative. When Josh showed up I pointed at the screen at my theater. Hope he continues making things! 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire(2024): My Godzilla pilgrimage ends with an incredibly ugly video game cutscene and I would be lying if I said that didn't make me sad. Hated almost every monster design here (even Godzilla sadly), and we've completely given up on human narratives. Not great. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025The Kid(1921): Movie #7 for my 2025 Criterion Challenge. Got to enjoy my first Charlie Chaplin movie and while I did expect it to be funny, I was not expecting it to be so genuinely touching and moving as well. Along with presenting themes that still resonate even today. #CriterionChallenge 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025BlacKkKlansman(2018): Spike Lee fucking rules dude. Man was able to trick me into thinking this story was about a "good" cop fixing the system from the inside and instead gave me one of the best stories about the failings of America's institutions and the importance of continuing the fight today. 120
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025John Wick: Chapter 4(2023): Another fun and creative entry for the John Wick series. I was definitely feeling a fatigued of them by this point but I still loved a lot of what was shown to me here. Glad that this will probably be the last one. Loved the top-down segment the most. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Wild Strawberries(1957): Movie #6 of my 2025 Criterion Challenge. Also my first Bergman! I got really immersed into this one. The movie was very melancholic but left me feeling kind of hopeful still by the end. Really looking forward to seeing more of his stuff in the future. 110
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Godzilla Minus One(2023): The absolute peak of Godzilla imo and I got to watch it again finally with a lot of my close friends and boy howdy do I love this movie. Every mean thing I say about a lot of Godzilla movies is because I know how good Godzilla stuff can be. Watch this one please. 140
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Red Rooms(2023): One of those movies that was so genuinely jaw dropping and incredible that I could never recommend to most of my friends because of the subject matter. If you have a strong stomach for uncomfortable topics though I highly, HIGHLY recommend this. Fantastic score as well. 120
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Love Hurts(2025): So unbelievably bad and it sucks to say that. Mr. Quan I still think you're really cool please be in a better movie though next time thank you. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Godzilla vs, Kong(2021): The only Monsterverse movie I at least kind of enjoyed. A lot of the insincere dialogue is gone and outside of one annoying subplot involving a conspiracy pedaling podcaster there isn't too much to dislike on the human side even if it is still half-baked. Monster stuff fun. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas(1998): Movie #5 for the 2025 Criterion Challenge. Never done a single non OTC or prescription drug in my entire life but I think this really gets across every possible feeling you could get from them. Love the dialogue as well. #CriterionChallenge 210
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Godzilla: KOTM(2019): The actual drizzling shits, still better than the anime trilogy but so absolutely unwatchable. There are three(3)! different characters constantly making jokes about whatever is happening, and at one point Godzilla runs alongside the US Military to fight Ghidorah. Hard pass. 110
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Sonatine(1993): Takeshi Kitano knows how to make the most unique action movies man. His films always seem to portray how incredibly isolating masculine ideals and lifestyles can become. While also surrounding those ideas with some really surreal comedy and the occasional burst of hyper violence. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Here(2024): I know some were able to find this one kind of charming but to me it just reeks of Boomerism. Even without the main gimmick or the jarring AI de-aging tech it still wouldn't work as a narrative for me. It's kind of like watching your grandpa's favorite stage play(derogatory). 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Close Encounters of the Third King(1977): (forgot to keep updating this whoops) uhhhhh really stellar presentation of how an alien encounter might actually feel. Very whimsical in its nature. A bit too much unsubtle advertising for my taste but I guess that's how a blockbuster gets made. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Better Man(2024): I went in with such low expectations, but honestly, as far as biopics go this was incredibly entertaining. I loved every musical number and surprisingly the monkey stuff really grew on me. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 14/02/20252025 Oscar Nominated Animated Films: More of a mixed bag for me than the live action shorts. Higher highs and lower lows. In The Shadow of the Cyprus was my favorite, Wander to Wonder had my favorite aesthetic, didn't care too much for Beautiful Men and Yuck! Got to see 2 stop-motion penises tho! 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 14/02/20252025 Oscar Nominated Live-Action Films: Turns out I am a big liar cause my theater did finally get these. Yay! Really strong set of shorts, already talked about 3 of em but I did also enjoy The Last Ranger and TMWCNRS. The best one was probably A Lien but my favorite was I'm Not a Robot. 120
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 14/02/2025I Like Movies(2022): Finally, Lady Bird for annoying white film bros. (I loved it) 110
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Godzilla: The Planet Eater(2018): *the loudest, wettest fart noise you have ever heard in your life* 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle(2018): *even louder, wetter, fart noise* 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 14/02/2025One of Them Days(2025): Incredibly enjoyable buddy comedy. Chemistry between SZA and Keke was fantastic and so many of the jokes hit. Really liked this one. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Mad Max 2(1981): Crazy to think that without this movie we probably never would have had stuff like Dragon Ball or Jojo's Bizarre Adventure or who knows what else. Everyone say Thank you George Miller for being so obsessed with blowing up cars in the coolest way possible <3 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Portrait of a Lady on Fire(2019): Movie #4 for my Criterion Challenge this year. Slowly catching up. I think I had a religious experience watching this and it fundamentally changed me as a person. Oops. #filmsky #CriterionChallenge 120
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters(2017): *extremely loud wet fart noise* #filmsky 110
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Smokey and the Bandit(1977): A nearly perfect 'fun' movie. I will enjoy literally anything that involves fast cars, Burt Reynolds, and a blatant disrespect for the police. 110
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 10/02/2025What We Do in the Shadows(2014): A good comedy is extremely quotable so I think this might be a good comedy. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 10/02/2025I'm Still Here(2024): Emotionally intense. Love the way it portrays joy as a form of resistance against fascism. Torres was absolutely stellar here. Please check it out. 120
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Queer(2024): Extremely tender movie, Luca understands human intimacy in a way that most artists don't clearly. Wasn't able to resonate with this one as much as I'd hoped but I still appreciated Craig's performance and the interesting dip into surrealism at the end. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Anuja(2024): 3rd Live Action short film nominee I've been able to find. Really appreciated the open ended nature of the ending. Think it really supported the main idea the short presented. Definitely deserved the nomination. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Companion(2025): I literally just watched "I'm Not a Robot" like a week ago and now this has the same premise. Just replace the ambiguity with some fun thriller aspects. What are the odds? Was worried that the trailer spoiled too much but that wasn't an issue thankfully. Decently fun honestly. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Bee Movie(2007): I watched this at 2am and it was quite bad, but in a way that made me think I hallucinated the entire experience. 110
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 04/02/2025My Old Ass(2024): There's a lot of movies like this but it's good to see them once in a while. Always weak to kids appreciating their parents in stories. Aubrey Plaza was really great in 2024! 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Fiddler on the Roof(1971): Maybe the single greatest musical ever made. I loved the songs, I became an emotional mess. Don't even know why they made more musicals after this one. The best. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 04/02/2025A Complete Unknown(2024): Found this to be really, REALLY boring and I don't know why. Did not care about anything happening AND I didn't like Timmy's singing to boot. Tragic. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Anora(2024): Unbelievably funny, did not expect that even a little bit going in. Ending really hit me hard as well. Should definitely check our Sean Baker's other films going forward. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 04/02/2025The Musician Monkey(1878): This is a good bit Karsten thanks. 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Nashville(1975): Movie #3 for the Criterion Challenge 2025. Kinda felt like idealized America in drug form. Movie has quite literally everything in it, and I think that's incredible. #CriterionChallenge #Filmsky 100
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 31/01/2025I'm Not a Robot(2023): Really entertaining, definitely appreciate some small scale surrealism. Could not stop thinking about how silly their world is if she was a robot though. Love the idea that Captchas are just a form of microaggression. Also loved hearing them curse in English. 120
AndroidOtaku @androidotaku.bsky.social · 30/01/2025A Lien(2023): I think every ICE agent should be [REDACTED] 110
