A 4 hour superhero movie? 
Even if I've been in lockdown for 8 of the past 12 months, I'm still not going to spend my time on that.
Some recent ones I saw:
Salvo: Terrible. I don't mind slow movies, but at least make it interesting. Watching paint dry would be far, far more entertaining. Also, I understand they both save each other in a way, but no, that doesn't make it a smart movie. It's still nonsense.
Anna: Meh. Didn't Luc Besson use to make good movies back in the day?
L'incredibile storia dell'Isola delle Rose: Surpringly enjoyable, entertaining movie. Quite a few scenes/moments that really made me chuckle.
The Devil All The Time: Mediocre. Intriguing cast, plot & setting, so there's a good movie in there somewhere. Shame it's not on the screen.
Under The Silver Lake: Enjoyable movie. It's all way too convoluted & there are a lot of things to potentially be annoyed about, but somehow that doesn't bother me too much. I guess the general atmosphere of this movie is enough for me to enjoy it. Should have been about 20 min shorter though.
Primer: I think I liked it better 15 years or so ago when I first watched it, but still a decent movie.
Reality: Not too shabby. Not a great movie, but I was entertained.
Shallow Grave: I know it's a pretty well rated movie, but it's not my cup of tea.
Vivarium: I liked this, probably the best one I've seen in the last few weeks. Not a movie everyone will enjoy, but I sure did. It's nothing more than 1 big WTF moment, but nicely executed. Also, Imogen Poots

I also like how you almost always mention movies I never heard of, I dunno where you even find those lol.
No, not yet. I have a bigger watch-list and most of them I plan to watch with my brother. So I watch alone those that he would otherwise skip.
Not that one.
Watched Seaspiracy, a very interesting and compelling documentary. For sure it's alarmist and misrepresents data at some points, but I found the overarching conclusions were spot on.
Also its ironic how the response to cow farts, which is our ecological doom, is essentially whale poo, which is salvation lol.

Maybe because it's a book adaptation. I didn't read the book, but will do it sometime.
The fight against the bear was cool, but yeah you are right the shots are the best in this movie. Read that is somewhere in Argentina.
Watched yesterday "The Mechanic 2", very good movie. Always nice to see Jason Statham break some arms and legs and Jessica Alba is suuuper.
