I watched that Army Of The Dead last night. Waste of time. Could have done being well over an hour shorter. I have nothing against long films at all, but two and half hours was really pushing it for a movie in this genre.

100%. An hour and a half was the perfect length for that film.

It would have been a thoroughly enjoyable movie if they'd cut it to 90ish mins.

Watched that Riders of Justice with Mads Mikkelson. Again, possibly a bit long but quite good nonetheless.

Remake of Candyman - very much contemporary and all the worse for it. A pity, as it ends pretty well with a cool nod to the original.

Excalibur - very overly acted and dramatic but for the better. Extremely which is why it works well (for me).

The Wild Bunch - classic Western with loads of blood.

Excalibur is a 10/10 for me. No wait, is it? Yes it is. I wish epic movies like that were still made, though even in its day Excalibur stood out from the pack. As you say, the theatrical side of it only adds. There's actually a version of Hamlet out there somewhere with the actor who plays Merlin in the titular role; would really like to see his interpretation of the prince.

Nicol Williamson, I wouldn't mind seeing that myself.

Mighty fillum, for all its overly theatrical performances and campness. Shot in Wickla, too.

Excalibur has some hilariously shitty acting in it.
Remember watching it as a kid and loving it. It still hold up fairly well bar some terrible acting.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I guess it can look shitty under a certain light. To me, it's mainly that it's really over the top, melodramatic, and I can only guess that was done intentionally to try and capture a sort of medieval, morality play, etc., theatrical vibe.

Hunter Hunter - shit name but very good. Family living off the grid in a Ruby Ridge type situation, food runs low, things get violent.

Didn't realise The Many Saints of Newark was out today. Let's go.

Nice one for the tip off  Got it ready to go with tonight's take-out now. Gabagool muthafuckas!

I haven't seen it yet but I was watching clips of The Sopranos on YouTube the last night. It's got such replay value.
Was watching the bit with Paulie and Feech fighting over the lawn cutting 😄

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yeah, definitely enjoyed that. Not perfect with respect to the series, but objectively a good film.

Yeah I thought the same. The fan service was a bit cringeworthy in parts but a good film overall. Was class to be back in the cinema too. I think another film would round out the story nicely.
