Idk why I didn’t like this more before now. I’ve seen it before, but for some reason everything really sunk in and sent me to tears with this viewing. The bond between Hiccup and Toothless is just so beautiful, and the masterful score really takes the entire movie to another level 🥹

The most Wes Anderson movie that out-Wes Andersons Wes Anderson.

Also Michael Cera in a funny accent 🤌🏻🤌🏻 He’s absolutely perfect for Wes Anderson’s style!

This was so deeply moving, after our screening ended I was asked what I thought about it and I was actually speechless. It ripped right into my soul and made me cry several times. I really feel like people are going to resonate with this a lot!

Thank you Harvey for the invite!

Some odd pacing, but incredible action sequences! A fun and fitting end to the franchise, I’m just sad I didn’t get into these movies sooner!

Also, the IMAX aspect ratio change for the submarine sequence was 🤌🏻🤌🏻

The power of ✨friendship✨ 🥹

Took a Mission: Impossible break to see a 50th anniversary screening of this! It’s so great to watch in a packed theater! Had multiple times where I kept asking myself “How did they shoot that?” and to me that just means that this holds up so well!

🤯
I had a feeling this would be my favorite one!

THE MOTORCYCLE CHASE! THAT FUN MIRROR SHOT! CINEMA

Brad Bird and Michael Giacchino, ily 🫶🏻

Definitely better than the second, but the editing and color grading were so distracting at times. It’s very much a mid-2000s action movie. But I’m a sucker for J.J. Abrams movies so I enjoyed it, plus the score by Michael Giacchino is so fun! I really enjoyed Philip Seymour Hoffman’s performance too!

This was hard for me to get through tbh, it felt long. I also tend to not like early 2000’s action movies in general, but the action scenes and stunts were fun! I forgot Hans Zimmer did the music for this, it really reminded me of The Dark Knight at times

This was fun to watch! Felt like it moved at a lightning pace and even though it shows its age/cheesiness sometimes, I thought everything was pretty well done!

Can confirm, this hits so much harder after finishing Andor. I’m a puddle 😭

Third time in IMAX 70mm 🤌🏻

This was genuinely hilarious! Tim Robinson’s bizarre character and the overall absurdity of everything that unfolded made this so much fun to watch. I’ll probably never think of Subway (or sewers) the same way ever again.

I haven’t re-watched a Marvel movie in theaters since No Way Home. This one is too good!

Every time I see this I rave about how it still holds up. I kept iring so many shots in this and how it’s influenced modern filmmaking in so many ways! Seeing on film with a packed audience was great too! Utterly perfected horror.

Marvel movies are back! This was a lot of fun! Some good ways of handling the mature themes. Fun fights too! Makes the MCU feel fresh and exciting again!

I haven’t seen this in theaters in 20 years and MAN this was incredible 😭❤️

This was lovely! Good performances and it was pretty to look at. Will it that it did feel long, I got a bit sleepy towards the end 😭

I was able to actually focus on everything this time without any distractions or jacket hitting! This is fantastic. The performances and music are phenomenal!

This was great and beautifully shot, but there were two people behind me that would *not* stop talking (in a packed IMAX theater too??) and I wasn’t able to keep my focus at all. I’ll need to see it again!

This was phenomenal! Constantly entertaining, fantastic performances, and moved at such a breakneck speed that it didn’t feel like it was as long as it is at all! 👏🏻

Utterly insane and such a wild good time! Seeing this at the Vista on 35mm was honestly the most perfect place to watch this for my first time. Now some of my favorite work from Rodriguez and Tarantino!

You know, it started off a little promising as a dumb campy comedy, but ironically when it got into the Minecraft realm stuff itself it started to suffer. This script was unsurprisingly pretty terrible and the cheesiness was really hard to look past; as I was walking out of the theater I overheard someone say that “it felt like remnants of another script” and I couldn’t agree more. However I had a blast with Jennifer Coolidge’s wacky subplot!

Had to see it one last time in IMAX 🥹

Got to see one of my favorite movies at one of my favorite places. And I realized I haven’t seen this on film before! I love this movie so much 🥹

Had to see the Japanese version before this left IMAX!

Watching three 5⭐️ movies in theaters back-to-back in one day is INSANE. And one of my all-time favorite movies being the cherry on top of an already good day made it that much better 🥹

Watched on Wednesday March 26, 2025.

I knew this was going to become my favorite Ghibli / Miyazaki movie, WOW 😭 The score and visuals in IMAX were incredible!!

Also they were right; this is basically a Legend of Zelda movie and I was just eating it UP

This was great! Some great jokes and fun gags, and actually a couple twists I didn’t expect. Wish I had a bigger audience in my theater because it was so fun to watch!!

Watched on Thursday March 20, 2025.

This was so cool! I loved how some numbers were fully filmed sequences outside of a standard concert film; it really helped showcase just how talented all of these performers are and put them in the spotlight. You can tell just how much Hans loves these people and wants to put them each on pedestals, and it oozes throughout the entire time.

I only thought that it felt a little long, but otherwise it was phenomenal. The Interstellar portion made me cry 🥺

Had to catch a screening of my favorite Disney animated movie at the El Cap while I was nearby anyway! Tbh Disney animation peaked here. Plus Phil Collins’ music hits different in a theater 🔥

Finally saw this after having it on my watchlist for years! I had only seen the musical years ago at the Ahmanson, but forgot pretty much all of the plot. This was so sweet! But the cinematography made this fun to watch. But damn do these characters need a therapist, the amount of trauma dumping was wild 😭

An absolutely wild ride from beginning to end. So many plot points just kept opening up and making things even weirder! Robert’s acting range is on full display here too, he was phenomenal. This was a lot of fun!

Watching in case I get to see a screening of Dead Man’s Chest tomorrow 👀 Haven’t seen this in a minute anyway!

This was so cute, wth 😭

Watched on Sunday March 2, 2025.

This was good! Some of the dialogue was kinda off though; why add so much exposition if you’re going to do nothing with it? But Pamela Anderson is GORGEOUS and really shines in this!

This was solid! Kieran Culkin better get that Oscar.

UGH 😭🥹

Still wrapping my head around what I just watched! This was insane! It gets more and more zany and over-the-top as every minute es. So campy and so much fun!!

Watched on Wednesday February 19, 2025.

Wholesome! More unexpected lore than I ever could have guessed. Definitely a different feeling than the first two but not a bad watch at all!

I didn’t expect to cry this much today, I’m almost at a loss for words. This was so heartbreaking and beautiful. Some really relevant themes mixed with an outstanding performance by Fernanda Torres. This is for sure one of my front runners for the Oscars this year, and was the last movie I needed to see in the Best Picture category!

Pretty damn stale tbh. I actually dozed off a couple of times surprisingly. We’re never getting another Winter Soldier are we?

This was solid! Fantastic performances all around, their dedication shows so much every scene. Not my favorite pacing- or editing-wise but I enjoyed it!
