What Was The Last Movie/Anime You Watched?
2ko:
If there are any anime fans on here that don't keep up with seasonals, this season has had some pretty solid shows airing you should check out when you get the chance!
This season I've been watching:
* Sousou no Frieren Season 2
* Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
* Hell's Paradise Season 2
* My Hero Academia Vigilantes Season 2
* Sentenced to be a Hero
* You and Me Are Polar Opposites
* Oshi no Ko Season 3
Of those, Frieren is my most strong recommendation. If you haven't watched the first season and don't know anything about it, my profile picture is actually Frieren lol It's a fantasy adventure about an elf who basically outlives her entire party. She becomes kinda guilty about not spending more time with one of the members who she kinda had a crush on, so she sets out on an adventure to a place where spirits are said to live so she can see him again. It's a really slow adventure more about the quiet moments on her journey more so than fighting demons and monsters, but it does feature a lot of that too. Just an incredible story and characters. One of my all time favorite openings too which is a bonus.
After that, Jujutsu Kaisen S3 has been pretty fun so far. JJK is a very mediocre battle shonen manga that for some reason (starting in Season 2) MAPPA decided they were going to pull out all the stops on lol It has some of the coolest action sequences in anime right now. Story is meh, but you're pretty much watching this one for the cool fights if that's your thing.
My hidden gem new show is You and Me Are Polar Opposites, which is a comedy romance about an outgoing pretty girl who starts dating a boring quiet kid. Pretty funny and light hearted, its the perfect show to put your feet up and relax to.
There are a few more shows I plan to check out once I free up some more time. Between gaming, manga and anime though I just don't have enough free-time in the day. I only get 2-3 hours usually, and to be honest gaming takes up most of it.

SCREAM 7
Scream 7 is ok I guess, it doesn't insist upon itself as much as say 4 or 6. It is not nearly as goofy and a parody of the original trilogy like 6 either. So in that sense it feels less like a dog chasing it's own tail. A lot of the worn out repetition of the franchise is the need they seem to have to refrence the originals instead of letting them exist on their own merit. It's like "stab" has become such a reflection of the franchise itself.
It does well with it's many grusome murders but I feel it's lacking almost everywhere else. As a diehard fan of the franchise. It doesn't offend. It's worth price of admission. But it's certainly not taking the franchise to new heights. Neve is spectacular as always, her tropes feel more believable and her way ot conveying her own plot feels authentic. The cluster of "suspects" are about as bland and one dimensional as they have ever been. Like it's sloppy directing. It does feel they ran out of ideas. It's a chill and gore kinda movie to wait for. The original 3 will never be touched.
It had highs and lows
Rating - 68/100

The Country Bears - I actually kinda liked this? It wasnt great, but definitely had its moments. Also, The Muppets (2011) stole this plot almost beat for beat, like even more than this stole from The Blues Brothers.
Swiss Army Man - Liked it a little more this go round. I think my biggest issue is that it is bit too ambiguous about how much really happens, when the premise is so outlandish it kinda needed to pick a side.
In a Valley of Violence - Somewhere between a spaghetti western and Sam Raimi's The Quick and the Dead. Terrific cast, though not all of them quite live up to the material.
Scary Movie 3 - My favorite of these so far, but still not great shakes. The Zucker humor just works better for me.

I am gearing up for Scary Movie 6 so your reviews have been helpful and informative. Is there any need to watch these in order? I assume not because it's a parody comedy but figured id ask. I hear Scary Movie 5 is dumpster water so I look forward to you reviewing that lol.

Based on the trailer it looks like 6 will have a fair amount of callbacks to the original, so maybe that one? But 2 and 3 don't really need the first one, either? And you might be waiting a while for my thoughts on 6. Wasn't really into any of these three, so I'm probably done. I had only seen the original, and I didn't like it back then, but I wanted to give them a fair shake with a new one coming. Just not for me.
