The new one about the cult or the old one on the ship?
I've owned Jacobs Ladder for about 3 years now. Soooo apprehensive about watching it. Psycho thrillers like that really get under my skin...
I watched it on the weekend and thought it was good. Maybe not quite as good as the first one but was still enjoyable and made me laugh a few times!
I would rate the first an 8/10 and second a 7/10
There are certain images in that film that have stuck with me from when I first saw it as a teen. I came in on the film part way through a couple of times and it spooked and intrigued me in equal measure. Apart from this week I think I had only seen it all the way through once before but come in on it started many times.
If I was watching it for the first time now I'm not sure what I would think, but it holds a weird allure from when I was younger. The film is very dreamlike and has a classic 70s paranoia feel.

The film is superb, it's not its fault that you didn't get it

It is a superb film, but not one I have seen for about 10 years primarily because of it's length and pace. Everyone should see it twice in their life though.
Same with Stalker

This is what ruined it for me. I mean - I wouldn't put those idiots in charge of a minibus, let alone a space craft with thousands of people on it.
The new one about the cult, the one on the ship is pretty good.

The film is fantastic until it goes nuts at the end with the space baby.

Had no idea you meant a new film, thought you meant the Mellissa George film, which wasn't totally awful.
So their is a new cult film?
I found it boring. I 'got it', it just wasn't for me at all.The film is superb, it's not its fault that you didn't get it
Caporegime
Blood Father
A Mel Gibson action film. Very short, only 88 minutes and trots a well trodden path of flawed father protecting his daughter from evil gangsters. Feel it does it slightly better than most though. Not a classic by any means, but a decent watch with a small role for the excellent William H Macy. I'll go 6/10.

The Infiltrator
A U.S. Customs official (Brian Cranston) uncovers a money laundering scheme involving Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. Based on a true story, this film really delivers. Excellent from start to finish.

The Hitman's Bodyguard
Funny, action-packed and a good cast. Enjoyed the movie and thought Ryan Reynolds was closer to deadpool humour which played off against the Sam Jackson humour nicely.
8.5/10

Caporegime
Detroit: Slow to start but great story showing how brutal the police could be in the treatment and what contempt they had for certain groups of people.
8/10.

The Winter Soldier.
In my humble opinion this movie is nigh on perfect. Harks back to the paranoia/conspiracy 70's/80's genre. First glimpse of the dirtier side of MU.
Action is spot on throughout and sublime with great choreography.
Watching Captain America fully fleshed and kinetic using Mixed Martial arts at his super soldier levels was pure awesome.
The winter soldier himself is great as a fallen hero.
10/10
Best of the Marvel movie Universe in my humble opinion.

Agreed...pretty much the pinnacle of MCU...how people consider civil war a better movie is utterly beyond me.
