Simply a follow up to Jen's great post; there were getting to be so many pages in that one I thought it could use a refresh. Happy to carry on the tradition!

Cannot wait to see Conor and Sean's riffs... I think they are just as funny as the guys! :D
Elysium (2013) 3/10
Black Panther (2018) [only MCU movie I put off watching, evidently with good reason - what overhyped trash] 1/10

BTW Abi, just wanna say that I really like how you're not afraid to give a super popular movie a super low rating, like me! Sounds like you have taste and you know yourself, and you're not going to let anyone change that.
Anyways, kudos. :D

I also give Captain Marvel an 8, because it WAS a good movie.
Although I agree with most everyone else that Brie Larson is a <swear word>, I'm not going to diss her movie because I dislike her.

I'm not gonna make 14 posts for the 14 films that I saw from the 14 February to Today (I only listed those that I haven't watch before):
Rating Date Descending:
Some movies were watched very late on the previous day so I rated them the next day.
1- The Great Dictator (1940) 6/10
2- Phantom Thread (2018) 8/10
3- Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (I) (1920) 8/10

14- The Secret in Their Eyes (2009) 7/10
I know that it can seem impossible to watch 14 movies in 4 days, but on my holidays I'm always catching up for the rest of the week, I didn't include Westworld (1973), Inception (2010), V for Vendetta (2005) because I already watched those ones previously.

I didn't have the time to review them, the reviews will come this week probably.
Only seen two of them, but I'd rate House on Haunted Hill and Devil's Advocate higher... probably 8 and 9 respectively.
Oh, also, I saw the US version of Secret in their Eyes (c.2015) and it was enough to put a chronic insomniac like me to sleep : 3/10
Perhaps the original (Italian? Spanish?) version was better.

The original is Spanish, I don't know if it is better, I have not watched the U.S version.
I reviewed all the titles of last week!!!
Blumhouse's Fantasy Island, 6/10. Review: https://www.imdb.com/review/rw5493678/?ref_=ur_urv
As a horror fan I have genuinely enjoyed many Blumhouse productions.
Some of the more recent ones have been *very* disappointing...
Notably Black Christmas (2019) - 4/10
Cam (2018) - 3/10 [[WTF??]]
The Gallows (2015) - 1/10; unwatchable, did not even bother with the sequel.
I'll be watching Fantasy Island, just because Lucy Hale is there, so no spoilers please :)

LOL I hate spoilers... you have my word. ;)
I hope not
It could be, he is 89 years old now. Most actors or directors are already retired at this age.
He said in an interview that he will never retired, but I'm not sure that it will remain true in 2 or 3 years

Watched a YouTube video showing all the differences Lucas put in the newer editions of the old Star Wars... why did I even watch that? I don't even like Star Wars that much! But there I was, watching it like an idiot!
Anyway, I came to the conclusion that the changes made to Star Wars are a lot like a marriage vows - for better or worse. You gotta take the good with the bad. Some of them were necessary, to sharpen the film quality and fill in some gaps where the screen looked depressed and empty. Other times, however, he reverted back to his signature Lucas "CGI is a god!" way of thinking, cramming in way too many womprats and giant lizard butts onto the screen.

That's okay: film fans like to compare versions of different movies, even those which are of less interest to them. Not a huge SW fan myself (even though I have great respect for franchise and Lucas), but I am also interested in alternate version situation around these movies.
Crimson Tide(1995) 8/10
This is one of those war movies that are not only interested in overflowing with action scenes, it also leaves a deep reflection on ethics, morals and how they contrast with the nature of war, presenting two characters whose philosophies are the same of interesting alike.

I saw it way back in the day, superb performances by Washington & Hackman.

Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Unwatchable, overhyped, overrated, derivative, gay manga nerd nonsense.
1/10

The trailer alone made me cringe... seemed unoriginal.
NarniaisAwesome
It was like they took Ready Player One mixed with Blade Runner spiced with some dystopian stuff from Hunger Games and Divergent and made a movie. LOL.

Apart from everything you already said, a lot of silly science fiction and an unnecessary and ridiculous teenage romance.
My rating for this also was 1
