The only one I would definitely not be arsed with ever again was AVP2. That was irredeemable altogether but I wouldn't even mind Prometheus or Covenant really. Still haven't seen any of the new series but tonight could be a good night to rectify that

AvP2 is indeed awful. Prometheus definitely better than I remember.

Prometheus and Covenant are grand. AVP2 was dogshit.

Watched the third episode there, it was OK.

Watched Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning as well, good craic. Same tone as the last one but that was a bit better IMO. Mad setpieces as usual, and some real tension in the finale.

I don't even know if AVP2 was good or not, the whole thing was so darkly shot you could see a fucking thing that was going on

Watched Together in the cinema, thought it was good craic, weird and funny. Maybe a few too many jump scares though which are over used in modern Horror. Still worth watching though. Bit of Cronenberg buzz off it.

It's shite. And like Prometheus/Convenant/The Predator:We don't speak of them ever!

Watched Eddington earlier. Bit of a mess of a yoke.

Saw Weapons the other night. Wasn't too bad but the same as the fellas last film Barbarian, it was a bit underwhelming. Worth a watch though. Best part was the George Harrison tune at the start.

Would have been way better if the film was just shot from the perspective of the Predator instead of the gimpy people.

Watched a mental but lots of fun Spanish movie last night called Airbag. Bit like Very Bad Things and Pulp Fiction mixed together and directed by the Zuckers, if they were Spanish  :laugh: Herself mentioned it to me and I was able to find a torrent and subtitles handy enough.

Birdman

I've watched Whiplash a few times over the last couple of months (absolutely fucking superb) and wanted something else with jazz drumming in it.

It's definitely a really good film and I love the meta-commentary of Michael Keaton playing a version of himself. I think Ed Norton is also playing a version of himself, or at least the perception of him.

Birdman is a brilliant film. I'd watch Michael Keaton in anything.Soundtrack really drives it too.

Watched Barbarian over the weekend. Very late to the party with this - I thought it was a psychological thriller when it came out so didn't bother with it. Fucking hell, I was blown away. It reminded me of a few of my favourites like The People Under the Stairs and The Descent but it still felt very original.

I loved it too, except the end I thought was a bit meh

I watched 28 years later the other day. Thought it was pretty good, nice cinematography and not overly Hollywood either which is good
