Ride with the Devil. Class American Civil
War film from 1999. Recommended.

Watched Bullet Train last night. Not good but mindless enough family entertainment that's mostly fun and ridiculous

I went to see the new Spielberg The Fablemans in the cinema over the weekend. I quite enjoyed it and it's always great to see one of his movies on the big screen. I thought it dragged a tad at times, but entertaining for the most part. I think it's up for the Oscars too

Came up in a chat with someone a couple of days ago so, since I hadn't seen it since I was a kid, watched Bakshi's animated Lord of the Rings film last night. I was reading afterwards that Bakshi later came to regret how he used the rotoscoping technique in it, and rightly so; ruins whole sections. Still a good watch while binned, but it is a real shame how it cuts from gorgeously trippy animation to, well, nightmarishly kitsch and trippy sections.

I haven't seen that since I wasa kid. I remember my next door neighbour must have had it on video because I saw it in there a couple of times. It was dark and creepy as hell and I was so young I didn't even know what it was about. It just looked evil. Would be cool to rob that footage for a video actually. Hmmm.

Only getting around to the Irishman now. So far enjoying it.

Day of The Dead, up on YouTube in full. Probably the best Romero film. Ridiculously entertaining in its own OTT way but is paced a lot better than Dawn of The Dead, which is about 20 minutes too long. Great score too.

watched Don't Worry Darling tonight. enjoyed it, having prepared myself for potential rubbish. does borrow heavily from several kinda obvious places, but taken on its own, surprisingly entertaining and perfect fodder for Valentine's. plus Florence Pugh is always on fire in the aul acting department.

M3gan - have to say I enjoyed it, thought it was going to be woeful, probably deserves the 6.5/10 rating it's getting on average. Pity they didn't go with the more R rated material they apparently cut, disappointing to hear that there was much more gruesome deaths to be had!

Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe - again another 6/6.5 leave your brain at the door, some decent jokes/moments in there tied in with the usual guff Mike Judge loves to throw in.

The new Beavis and Butthead is great as well, spoiler alert, they don't get laid.

Bones and All - a romantic horror about cannibals, perfect V day watch!

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent - Very much enjoying this Nick Cage resurgence, still have to get around to watching Pig.

Thought bones and all was a love story and only paid any attention because of the shit reznor/Ross soundtrack. Might give it a go now if that's the buzz

Pig is fantastic, he's in top form. Very subdued.

Just saw there's a new Evil Dead out soon directed and written by an Irish lad, the guy who directed The Hole in the Ground, could be interesting, hope it isn't too serious though.
