Weird Science and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Great craic the both of them.

Aye, they're timeless.

Watched Smile 2. Not bad, some deadly practical makeup fx but it'd be a stronger movie if they took 20 mins off it.

Was hoping to get to Sinners but just can't get time with a 3 month and 4 year old at home.  Will have to wait for streaming me-thinks.

Finally watched Sisu. It was decent craic, though not as good as it was built up to be. They really lean into the more absurd angles of John Wick type stuff.

It was...

OK

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Watched Mars Express last night, French animated sci-fi from 2023. Really good. Borrows from a wide range of sources to create a cool old school sci-fi story.

[Abandon All Hope]

Flesh Gordon Meets The Cosmic Cheerleaders

Blood Tracks

Supervixens

Watched Anora the other night. Enjoyed it overall. It had that same kind of hectic, stressed out quality of Uncut Gems. Anora basically being the New York version of a smick was entertaining and frustrating in equal measure. She's smokin' hot though, in a slightly unconventional way. I don't think Sean Baker has missed yet with any of his films.

Definitely a little over praised but a good movie nonetheless. Neon spent 18 million on the awards campaign which is daft.
Madison was great in it.


Watched The Monkey last which was great craic.

Watched Anora on the plane the other night, I had an aisle seat so the rows behind me would have been able to see it as well.  Full uncensored version.  Great film.  Watched Kneecap on the same flight, funny enough in spots few too many stereotypes to pander to  foreign audiences.  Gangster Darby O'Gill

Getting rid of the Sky box soon, so I'm trying to get through all the shite I've recorded off the Legend and Talking Pictures channels.

Watched The Last Man on Earth, Nightbreed, and Death Wish over the weekend. Really enjoyed Death Wish. Must watch the rest of the films as they're all on Prime.

[Carnage]

Assuming it's the Vincent Price film, I've never seen The Last Man On Earth, just the later versions (The Omega Man was part of an enjoyable double-header with Soylent Green recently). It's on my list.

[Sworntothecans]

Really enjoyed Death Wish. Must watch the rest of the films as they're all on Prime.

Definitely the law of diminishing returns (and budgets) when it comes to Death Wish. Bring plenty of cans😂
They're great craic for actor spotting.

No way, they get better and better for the first three  Though that depends on your definition of better of course. 3 is considered the cult classic.


Just saw Sinners. *mild spoilers* it's basically just From Dusk til Dawn but the black version. Thought it had some great moments but was ok to good overall. The whole blues dance sequenced was amazing, as was the related Rocky Road to Dublin sequence. I really enjoyed the vampires having red eyes too for some reason. Made them seem less human and more threatening. Also is it just me or is Michael B. Jordan basically just an acting replica of Jamie Foxx? They talk and act exactly the same.

[Carnage]

The Father - Anthony Hopkins puts in a fantastic turn here, as do Olivias Coleman and Williams, and Rufus Sewell. The flat constantly changing layout is a nice touch, we're never quite sure where or when we are, or who anyone is for that matter. Excellent watch, if harrowing at times.

Rambo 3

'Dedicated to the gallant people of Afghanistan'

That aged well 

Apart from that, an OK movie. Held my interest despite being completely ridiculous. I am now convinced that the best Rambo movie is the first one.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Has there ever been any doubt? 

Seem to recall the fourth one being better than 2 or 3.
