I'm thinking of seeing that maybe. I'm not much into Christmas movies but that particuler one has peaked my interest.

Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.

If the scene weren't so uncomfortable, I probably would have considered it.

She's just standing around singing in a kaleidoscope dimension, Itchy!


What I can say is that it was pretty obvious that Carrie Fisher was high during recording. Especially during her song at the end. I don't blame her, though.

Mark was still recovering from him accident in that, some heavy make-up.

I watched 'Ghost in a Shell' last night, I found it to be okay as I wasn't expecting it to be any good.

Just Saw The Last Jedi. I loved it thought it was much better than Force Awakens. Loved how Luke was done and the cameo of an old friend was awesome

I just watched the Greatest Showman with my mom and my brother's friend.

It was like...seven movies about PT Barnum's life packaged tightly into one. 25% story and 75% music, which I have mixed feelings on.

Land Before Time first time I see it in widescreen form the recent Blu-Ray release with its first widescreen release, I always thought this movie was only made in fullscreen. Amazing movie still so many years later.

Dinosaur 2000 , borrows a lot from Land Before Time but it's still good.

I'll be mostly watching Dinosaur films I've never seen this year to hype me up to Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom.

I'll start by watching ALL the Land Before Time movies

I watched "You've got mail" with Tom Hanks from 1998. Man, this movie is some real outdated social media. Imagine e-mailing someone to talk with AOL in 1998?

Watched half of the first Mortal Kombat movie the other night before I fell asleep. (No - it wasn't the movie, it was just another long day.)

Watched Doctor Strange for the 2nd time. I love the effects in this movie. Cumberbatch is still awesome as Dr Strange

Watched that recently, it's a great movie for what it is, a cheesy adaption of a fighting game from 1995.

The old Mortal Kombat movies are so dated it's embarrassing to watch it nowadays imo.

You should try watching the Mortal Kombat Legacy series. The first season is the best I feel.

I just used my MoviePass to see it yesterday. So good. I almost cried when Imelda started singing at the Eduardo De La Cruz show near the end. Made me want to talk to my grandmother more about her time growing up in Mexico

My Land Before Time marathon is going strong, I'm on movie 9, the sequels are not that bad as people always made them out to be. Of course they're kids movies and nowhere near the quality of the original land before time which is a true classic but if you like dinosaurs you can do a lot worse than these movies.

I don't care much for PT Barnum's life or how realistic it was, a bit too many songs but I enjoyed it a lot.

One of my favorite movies, watched it back in 1998 when I was a kid and thought that's how I'd meet my significant other I still enjoy it to this day. Meg Ryan was also one of my few celebrity crushes I ever had, too bad she became a monster a few years after this.

meh, first movie is definitely better. Legacy is all over the place in terms of quality, some are good and some are terrible, and since they're all so short the story goes nowhere. Legacy 2 is not as good either, wish we had gotten a Legacy 3.

I'm giving you partial credit because Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is one movie that I won't re-watch to this day. The sequel could have been made better. For me and a bud that saw it at the theater, we were rather disappointed with MK: Annihilation.

As for the first movie being an embarrassment to watch..



The first movie had some cheesy moments, but they were fun to watch.

However, I will give Legacy a watch sometime.

I went to a theatrical showing of Back to the Future (1985), and I was amazed by it, even though I've probably watched that trilogy too many times to count.

The surround sound greatly enhanced the experience--like the DeLorean's time travel/reentry sounds, the soundtrack, and everything about the clock tower sequence.
