rate the last film you watched

got me vhs out and watched that yesterday.

they have done a sequel in recent years.

virtually everyone hates it though.

cobra (1986) - 7.5 outta 10.



typical 80's over the topness.

poor brigette is the target after witnessing a murder.

or it could be for the flat cap & curls.

good chase sequence and a gloriously silly final killing segment.

must be near the top in the film body bag count.

Blue Ruin (2013)



It is on Netflix. I got the recommendation from avclub film.avclub.com/blue-ruin-revitalizes-the-revenge-thriller-with-eccentr-1798180232

This man is inept and revenge driven. The first half of the film has so little dialogue it surprises you with its moderate use in the second.

It kinda makes you think what you would do in a severe situation you weren't prepared to deal with.

Very good film. 7.8/10

watched that storyville two parter on this.

the look on jim jones face when the congressman is explaining that people wanna leave.

9 outta 10.

WW84. Loved it, big fan of the first but I preferred this. Very enjoyable. The dc universe gets slaughtered but the casting choices are superb. 8/10

buster - 8 outta 10.

watched it on sony movies channel a few days ago.

always liked phil collins in this (obviously julie walters is always gr8).



and loco in acapulco is one of the greatest pop songs of the 80's.

vice versa - 7.5 outta 10.

the 80's version of freaky friday.



what's eating gilbert grape - 8.5 outta 10.

been out since 1993 and i'd never seen it.

emotive stuff.

HIGHLANDER 10/10

The Rental - More traditional and formulaic than I expected, but I liked the actors and there were a few decent scares

Upgrad - Watched it for the third time, I love to show it to people who've never heard of it

Little Women - Loved it, and I'm a fan of Florence Pugh

Next up: Promising Young Woman, I have high hopes for that one

Promising Young Woman - Uneven but very very cool and great framing and actors

JCVD - Loved it. Weird little thing, almost too meta and self-referential. But surprisingly good and interesting direction and a great performance by JCVD, who shows what he's capable of beyond physicals. Funny and touching and some good action.

Interesting film, I've not seen it since it came out on DVD. That meta monologue he delivers is incredible. Great to see him perform in his native tongue too. I'm still a sucker anything featuring the stars of 80s cinema that I grew up with. At his peak I never rated him too highly despite loving many of his films. Yet out of all the other action stars of yesteryear, he has made it through the decades the most gracefully. Whist he's been relegated to the VOD market for the most part, he has actually improved as an actor & has managed to age gracefully. The warn-out/weathered look on his face I think adds a lot more character to him, rather than the artificial & plastic look the rest of them have ended up with.

The Meg - 6/10

eddie murphy collection on amazon prime.

48 hours - 10 outta 10

some great scenes (hotel & subway shootout/luther ).

score is great at building the tension as well.

another 48 hours - 8.5 outta 10

i know the critics hated it.

always loved how crude and damn nasty this is.

rolling thunder revue - 8 outta 10.



obviously u don't get much outta bob.

but the rest of the cast provided some good anecdotes.

rolling thunder is my favourite bob live period.

still don't think i'm tempted enough to spend out on the double disk dvd though.

Zack Snyder's justice league

The first 2 hours are boring as fuck, way too long. Supermans black suit is awesome though, and Wonder Woman is fucking gorgeous.

6/10

Army of the Dead (2021)

I like Dave Bautista, as a wrestler and an actor. I just think he needs more direction in this film. This film is fun but doesn't figure out if it wants to be a bit on the sentimental side or the campy fun side. I think a better directed Bautista and a more single-threaded theme could have made this better.

When I anticipate a zombie film/show, I always wonder what kind of zombies are we gonna get. Slow/dumb zombies? Slow/smart zombies? Fast/dumb zombies? Fast/smart zombies? This film gives all versions and the fast/smart zombies are terrifying.

Tig Notaro was a late edition, replacing Chris D'elia because he a shit human. She did all her scenes without the rest of the cast and she has the funniest bits in the movie.

6.9/10

This aged well lol.
