Dune (1984).

In a different timeline, we might have known an entirely different movie landscape in which David Lynch went on to direct a Star Wars movie. Luckily, we got the timeline in which he directed a Dune movie, which I do believe was an important part in (1/12)

Game of Thrones – Season 2.

S1 entry: bsky.app/profile/jcde...

If the original season pulled you in, season 2 of Game of Thrones ensures you will keep watching until the bitter end. As the War in the North intensifies and the Lannisters find out (1/12)

No. 177.

Neko no Ongaeshi (The Cat Returns).

This is the kind of spin-off nobody would ever ask for, but it has such a charm to it that I can’t help but smile at the mere premise of it.

In Whisper of the Heart, an important subplot involves a statue of (1/6)

No. 176.
Mimi wo Sumaseba (Whisper of the Heart).

I do a tiny bit of research on movies before I write my entries. I’m writing this with tears in my eyes, because I had no idea before only a minute ago that the director of Whisper of the Heart, Yoshifumi Kondō, (1/7)

#DendensMovieDen.
No. 175.
Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbour Totoro).

I’m not completely sure, but when I was done downloading all the then-released Studio Ghibli-movies, the first movie I think I saw after Spirited Away blew me away was the iconic My Neighbour Totoro. (1/9)

#DendensMovieDen.
No. 173.
Game of Thrones – Season 1.

It took a while for me to warm up to Game of Thrones. My friend who played Dungeons & Dragons and devoured anything even remotely connected to fantasy tried to get me hooked more than once. I was getting into high fantasy fast after (1/17)

#DendensMovieDen.
No. 172.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Having gone through the rise of superhero movies in the early 2000s with Spider-Man and X-Men, I was absolutely sure Spider-Man would have an amazing run in the cinema for years to come. (1/10)

#DendensMovieDen.
No. 171.
Despicable Me.

Once upon a time, coincidence would have it that Pixar and Dreamworks Animation would go head to head with movies about ants or fishes. Years later, It was Dreamworks Animation vs. newcomer Illumination with movies about supervillains. (1/6)

#DendensMovieDen.
No. 170.
Kung Fu Panda 4.

Yet again, Po returns as the next phase in his journey as the Dragon Warrior begins...by ending it. The Furious Five make room for a completely new character as the potential candidate, as if Tigress was never to be the TRUE Dragon Warrior (1/9)

#DendensMovieDen.
No. 169.
Kung Fu Panda 3.

The Furious Five take the backseat once more, with a figure from Po’s past returning and demanding screentime, along with the village this movie largely takes place in. Diving deeper into Po’s origin and taking yet another important step in his (1/7)

#DendensMovieDen.
No. 168.
Kung Fu Panda 2.

More Furious Five is never a bad thing, and this bigger and better sequel to the original Kung Fu Panda proves it to be right. With the Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five now working together on a mission to save kung fu, the sequel brings both (1/6)

#DendensMovieDen.
No. 167.
Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Furious Five.

Adressing an issue with the original Kung Fu Panda, this short movie gives us some backstory on the Furious Five in a fun way. Like in the original movie, some stylish 2D animation is used here for certain sequences (1/3)

#DendensMovieDen.
No. 166.
Kung Fu Panda.

It took a while for Dreamworks to win me over with another IP after Shrek. Lord knows Shark Tale, Over The Hedge and Bee Movie weren’t it. Madagascar was fun enough, but no gold medal there. Kung Fu Panda was a second shot for Jack Black (1/10)

#DendensMovieDen.
No. 165.
Solyaris/Solaris.

To ease into my journey of watching some of Sergei Tarkovsky’s greatest movies, I started out with the two I saw while I was still an English student: Stalker and Solyaris. After Stalker, I downloaded two adaptations of Stanisław Lem’s original (1/11)

Steven Universe - Season 1 Better Man Your Name The Boy and the Heron The Fall Guy The Wild Robot Alien: Romulus Anatomy of a Fall

Arrived today: exciting rewatches like Your Name and The Fall Guy. Two exciting first watches with The Boy and the Heron and Better Man. And something I've been searching for a long time now: Steven Universe! It's only season 1, but it's a start. #MovieSky #FilmSky #PhysicalMedia #DendensMovieDen

No. 164.
Speed Racer.

As a huge Matrix fan (and I mean HUGE, it’s my favourite franchise EVER), I needed to watch the Wachowskis’ Speed Racer, even though I wasn’t familiar with the IP. After the two-hour sensory overload was finished, I knew I had witnessed something (1/10)

#DendensMovieDen.
No. 162.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

It was an exciting time for Star Wars fans. Now I’m not one to say Disney’s take on Star Wars is without its faults, but with the excitement in the air with the new Star Wars trilogy kicking off as kickass as it did with (1/10)

#DendensMovieDen.
No. 161.
Global Metal.

After Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey, it appears Sam Dunn had a lot more to say on the subject, with this sequel and a whole Youtube series on the evolution of Heavy Metal. Unless I get my hands on a physical copy of the latter, (1/7)

#DendensMovieDen. No. 160. Elemental. The announcement of Elemental had me worried. On one hand, the concept of a world inhabited by anthropomorphic elements was the kind of imaginative creativity I came to expect from Pixar in its heyday. On the other hand, Peter Sohn’s The Good Dinosaur (1/11)

#DendensMovieDen. No. 159. Lady and the Tramp. I liked animated movies with dogs a lot when I was little, like 101 Dalmations or Lady and the Tramp. However, I was more fond of Scruffy, a story with some of the same story beats as this movie, but a lot more tragedy befalling (1/5)

#DendensMovieDen. No. 158. Fantasia 2000. There’s not much I can say about Fantasia 2000 or the original other than you have to have seen it at least once. I downloaded it when I was still studying, and I had the sudden urge to watch all Disney movies I had missed when I was little. (1/5)

#DendensMovieDen. No. 157. Mean Girls (2024). I remember the hype surrounding the original Mean Girls and Lindsey Lohan’s rise to stardom. It was an excellent comedy about high school culture, the various cliques and the dangers they pose for teenagers. While I’m not a fan of remakes, (1/6)

#DendensMovieDen. No. 156. Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey. I’m always interested in learning more about all kinds of music, especially when it concerns a genre I’ve grown really fond of in the latter half of my life so far, but still know next to nothing about. (1/7)

#DendensMovieDen. No. 155. Mallrats. I’ve been dying to dive into the View Askewniverse for the Movie Den. Mallrats might not be the best, it holds as much nostalgia to me for the days of...erm...in between studying as the likes of Clerks or Dogma. We’d gather as many good friends into (1/10)

#DendensMovieDen. No. 154. Eurotrip.

After the success of American Pie, teen sex comedies were all the rage again after a short drought during the nineties. Eurotrip might not be an especially funny one, as they rarely were, but it’s still a notable American Pie-clone with (1/7)

#DendensMovieDen. No. 153. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. I’m not at all surprised Night at the Museum got a sequel. It was a hit, and a movie studio likes to make money. Besides the fact they already got a lot out of the concept of museum pieces coming to life in one movie, (1/7)

#DendensMovieDen. No. 149. Lego The Lord of the Rings (Playstation 3, 2012)

Personal status: Ranked at 237 in Top 400. One fairly complete playthrough that was a blast.

I really enjoyed the incredible run EA had during the 6th console generation with the hack & slash games and an RPG, (1/8)

#DendensMovieDen. No. 152. Night at the Museum. I watched quite a bit of movies with Ben Stiller throughout the late nineties and early 2000s. But somehow, I missed out on the Night at the Museum-movies, despite me being a massive fan of Robin Williams as well. (1/10)

#DendensMovieDen. No. 151. Escape From LA. As I understand it, John Carpenter holds Escape From LA in high regard, despite its poor commercial performance and critical reception. I agree with him, and I think Escape From LA should be regarded as a masterpiece of dark sci-fi storytelling, (1/9)

#DendensMovieDen. No. 150. Escape From New York. I’ve always been a big fan of John Carpenter movies. I grew up with classics like Big Trouble in Little China and The Thing (yeah, there are traumas that came from watching these), but it was in my university years that I downloaded (1/10)
