Always enjoyed the original, never watched the remake, just the best thing that could ever have come of it many, many times:

Original is spectacular. And yeah that's the best of it absolutely

Finally got to see Godzilla Minus One there, good stuff. Plenty of postwar Japanese drama/guilt with occasional monster whammies and very decent effects (it got the Oscar). Would have looked good on the big screen, I imagine.

"So I Married An Axe Murderer" - what a bizarre film. Passed me by completely at the time.

It's almost as if "Singles" or "Reality Bites" were made by the Monty Python crew.

Don't think I actually laughed once but it had some funny moments.

I really like it. The old man making fun of the kid for having a giant head always cracked me  up.

It's a fun one, falls apart in the third act as Myers front loaded all the good stuff. Think he was salty as fuck for it bombing and that's why he went Scottish at the last minute in Shrek.

Went for a Christopher Walken mercenary double bill with Dogs Of War and McBain.
Great stuff, although McBain is rather daft.

Watched Immaculate there the other night, a bit meh.

Hoping to watch Late Night with the Devil over the weekend.

[open face surgery]

Watched Late Night with the Devil last weekend. Enjoyable film.

Watched Sunshine tonight, first time. Cool movie. Want to re-watch Event Horizon now and see how I think they measure up to each other. Used to love EH.

[nukeabuse]

Sunshine went from being an amazing movie to decent when it flipped from psychological horror to body horror. EH still is great. Sam Neil one of the most underrated horror actors

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yeah, I think I'd agree with that review of Sunshine.

Two great flicks there not without their flaws but still pretty much worth watching a good few times. Must lash on Sunshine again soon

Finally got around to watching Possession (1981) last night. Great film, a real "they don't make them like this anymore" viewing experience. Think I would have enjoyed it even more a few years ago though, whenever I was first discovering films like Angst and Seul Contre Tous. They're the films I found myself thinking of most while watching it anyway.

Watched 'After Hours' & 'Memento' on the plane seat back TV, enjoyed them, I'd never seen either before.
I'll need another look at Memento to get the gist of all of it.

Watched it for the first time over covid. Must revisit again as it's a film you prob need to see more than once to fully take it all in. Apparently the lead actress was so intense with her performance she genuinely drove herself a bit crazy and was forced into therapy for years. That subway scene is something else.

Love After Hours. That whole "one crazy night in the city" mini-genre in general is always great. It's so out there, yet you could also imagine yourself getting involved in a bunch of those situations 

[StoutAndAle]

"After Hours" is brilliant. Made in Marty's snowstorm of cocaine years.

The soundtrack is off the wall - 50s doo-wop, Bach and Mozart, Joni Mitchell, The Monkees and the fucking Bad Brains! 

I remember Empire Magazine (around the release of "Casino") called "Goodfellas" Scorsese's return to form after a decade in the wilderness post-"Raging Bull".

If you look at his 1980s output there's a lot of filmmakers who would give their left nut for a run like it.

"The King Of Comedy"
"After Hours"
"The Color Of Money"
"The Last Temptation Of Christ"

Only the latter is a bit of a dud. But even so it's watchable - as religious epics go.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

have always loved After Hours. might be the first Scorsese I ever saw actually, one of those late night came on the telly when I was a kid and the mammies were yapping in the kitchen not bothered sending us to bed
