Bone Tomahawk was alright. Kurt Russell played a solid frontier law man. There's a pretty spicy gore scene in there too.

95% gritty western, 5% "Rob Zombie remakes Texas Chainsaw Massacre".
Absolutely a fair assessment.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988). While not The Blob or Night of the Creeps, it's pretty fun.
Red Rock West, 1994
Nic Cage movie I heard about in a thread here the other day.
Cage is unemployed and down on his luck when he gets mistaken for a hitman and is paid to do a job. He takes the money and tries to run, but gets caught up in a more intriguing whirlpool of trouble than I expected.
Nothing groundbreaking here, but it had more surprises than I had expected and it's fairly well acted for a 90s movie. If you want something interesting that isn't too deep and has a vaguely No Country for Old Men flavor, this isn't bad.
Inside Out 2 - and yes, I thought it was great, although not quite as good as the first one.
Last grown up film I saw was Emily the Criminal, which I really enjoyed. Aubrey Plaza is excellent in it.
Emily the Criminal was great
Clue. 1985 Yes, Tim curry is fantastic in it.
Spiderman no way home, at the theater.
Nausicaa of the valley of the wind. A Studio Ghibli film.
Yes, would definitely recommend! A classic. It's older at this point but still a great movie
The Sudbury Devil. Would I recommend it? Yes, if you don’t mind weird, independent horror movies.
Heat (1995)
Absolute must-watch
This is blasphemy, but I prefer Ronin for my fix of a 90s crime movie with grounded, high planning gunfights.
Heat has fantastic gunfights. The the opening hit on the armored truck and the bank heist shootout is top notch, but I literally can't remember the rest of the movie.
Ronin's plot and quiet moments are as engaging as the shootouts.
Hard agree my friend
In a theater? Deadpool and Wolverine. Similar to other people here, I think objectively it was not good, but just a fun ride of fan service and cameos that was quite entertaining. I don’t know why I paid for 3d though: had to wear glasses but didn’t see any 3d effects.
At home? The Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies. Apparently I had never seen them and my teen insisted. I liked them. I don’t know why people criticize the actor: I’d criticize the writers. No one wants a moody emo self-centered Spider-Man. Toby McGuire does well partly because they wrote a more lighthearted playful Spider-Man for him, even in the face of apocalypse
I agree with you about Deadpool and Wolverine. The story was stupid but seeing Wolverine in the yellow suit in live action was worth it for me. I don't usually go for super hero/comedies but I was prepared for that going into this one so it didn't bother me much and a lot of the cameos were pretty cool.
I watched the running man with some friends last weekend. I'd say it's a solid meh. It's the first time I've actually seen Schwarzenegger in a movie, and I gotta say, I don't understand why he's so popular. He's a pretty terrible actor.
That's because you haven't seen Kindergarten Cop yet, the pinnacle of his acting career.
That's a pretty early film. His acting and especially his comedy does improve a lot over time, though it's never amazing. I think he's a product of the 80's. If he were getting his start today I'm not sure he'd stand out. He'd be like a less charismatic Jason Momoa.
He tends to be in movies that don't rely much on emoting (Conan & Terminator) or with better actors (Danny Devito, Gabriel Byrne, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bill Paxton—it's a very long list) and the action and effects were top notch for the day, and the stories usually had a good emotional core. I do think True Lies was probably his best movie even if not the most iconic. And it really holds up today - I would strongly recommend it.
The Last Action Hero got panned, but it's a pretty solid satire of the action films he made his career on.
Waves (2019)
Exceptional movie. Highly recommend
2036 Origin unknown. It was quite a good movie so, yes, I would recommend it.
