Film

Caught 'Aliens' on TV mid afternoon yesterday  , hadn't seen it in years, f-ing hell what a movie!. Does not let up once it gets going.

[Carnage]

Watched Predator: Killer Of Killers, pretty good if you're a fan, a few easter eggs sprinkled across it. The anumation was excellent although it seemed kinda jerky.

Thought I'd seen Fright Night as a youngfla but turns out I hadn't. Grand little flick. The 80s were great.

Watched that as well thought it was not bad although not great. Was a bit rushed or something

Fright Night is one of my all time favourite films. Same effects team that did Ghostbusters and you can really tell given the quality of the effects. And yes, it is pure 80s wrapped up in a package, in the best way 

The film I have picked out to watch tonight is the other best vampire film of the 80s, Near Dark!

Trachtenberg was making it while he was also shooting Predator:Badlands.

The one thing he got right with Prey and with Killer Of Killers was the Dark Horse comics vibe of it.

Kinda hoping if they do another animated one they do the story with Dutch's brother who's a cop in the NYPD who ends up in Siberia fighting Predators and Russian special forces. It's great craic.

Also with Michael Biehn doing the voice of the CO in the third story he's joined the Henrikson/Paxton gang!

Watched Sinners tonight. Was a bit iffy on the second half until the ending, which I thought was perfect. A horror love song to the blues.

MacGruber ...
Same team is doing the Naked Gun sequel with Neeson.

This doesn't seem to be the case...? No writers, directors or producers in common, from what I can see.

Director has worked on MacGruber via SNL (he was part of The Lonely Island team), and there was uncredited work on the script by them for both movies.

And the lads from Reno 911 probably had a go on it too as they're usually involved in most major comedy script work.

[The Heretic]

Christ almighty that Naked Gun trailer looks awful

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Ah ok, I didn't realize MacGruber was an SNL thing. Explains a few things 

In any case, not like the actual director has had a great run: Popstar was also terrible.

Mickey 17 is entertaining, almost great but for a few meh moments. Pattison is excellent in it.

Watched the original Twister there for the umpteenth time. I don't know what it is that grabs me about it so much as I'm not sure it's even a good film, but I've always loved it. I was on such a buzz on it afterwards that I finally succumbed and decided to try the dreaded Modern Sequel.

And it was good! I mean it's bad obviously, but I really enjoyed it too. They did manage to capture a similar vibe to the first one. Perfect weekend daytime entertainment.

I went to see 28 years later yesterday. Not really sure what to think of it, not what I was expecting at all. Can't tell if I hated it or not 

[StoutAndAle]

Went to see "The Ballad Of Wallis Island" - new Tim Key/Tom Basden comedy with dramatic elements.

It is fucking brilliant, absolutely hilarious but one bit caught me unawares and I started crying in the cinema. Openly weeping.

Then I was grand and back laughing again.

I was on my own too.

The couple sitting near me must have thought I was having a breakdown.
