Small Things Like These

You know what you're getting story-wise, but it's a lovely piece of cinema on top of that. I found anyway.

Have it on the watchlist. The Phillippou brothers have one hell of a career ahead of them. Talk To Me was great.

It's a crazy bit of writing. Looking forward to watching Talk To Me.

Went to see 28 Years Later. Mixed bag as I sorta enjoyed it but it was also total shite. Like the new Mad Max mixed with Lord of the Rings. Both of which I don't like.

The first one will always reign supreme.

Saw the new Jurassic Park. Just popcorn bullshit. The dinosaurs aren't even dinosaurs anymore, it's just nonsensical.

Paris, Texas. Must be the most beautifully shot film I've ever seen. It's a slow film, but the cinematography just has you engaged the whole way though. Plus Harry Dean Stanton is good in everything. He made Repo Man the same year. Hell of a year!

That ending still has me wondering what the fuck like

Absolutely cat. To tie it in, the beginning scene with him was shite as well.

Just back from it, absolutely bizarre tonal shift Made it seem like they wanted it as a platform to start doing spin off films or something like that but really out of place

Grand enough film otherwise although not a patch on either of the first two. And having watched both those in the last week I just kept wondering how there was still infected around, or even how there was enough people to become infected. They just kind of ignored how everything had been set up previously

Wayne's World 2. My 6 year old is laughing his ass off at it.

My first thought at the ending was that it was supposed to be all in the young lad's head and he was in fact dead, but no.... Just no.....


I enjoyed the film while it was on and all but fucking hell that was bizarre, as you say

I watched the first 2 recently too so I'm looking forward to it. Curious about the Mad Max/LotR vibes as I love them.

Specifically Mad Max Fury Road which I didn't like at all. May go back to it.

Blood Red Sky - Vampires On A Plane, essentially. Most vampire movie tropes are present and correct but it has its moments and a couple of interesting twists. Worth a look.

Landed home at 4 and Back to the Future was starting on BBC1. Sure it'd rude not to. It might be the greatest film of all time. Just a perfect film really.

It's extremely well made, always suprised at how well it holds up. Zemeckis had a hell of a crew making it.
Crazy to think that they recast the lead a few weeks into production.

I'd say Eric Stoltz's accountant and agent get thick as fuck everytime the see it on tv.
