Another Taylor Sheridan movie.
What film did you watch last night?
- Thread starter Richeh
- Start date
Return of the Fly (1959) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053219/
Not as good as the original one made in 1958, but it still had Vincent Price in it, so I was quite happy.
Still and enjoyable enough movie to pass the time.

Obligatory mention that it's part of Sheridans Frontier trilogy along with Sicario and Wind River - although he only directed Wind River
Great interview with him here before he blew up off the back of Yellowstone and started writing everything
Wind River Director Taylor Sheridan on His Frontier Trilogy
Director Taylor Sheridan talks about how Wind River connects to Sicario and Hell or High Water, his work on the Sicario sequel Soldado, and more.

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)
Been bloody years since I seen this one, probably heading towards, if not 30 years, remember watching it in VHS when I was little over and over.
Not sure it is quite as good as I remember it. I actually only seen the first two within the last 5 years or so, which I think I prefer, particularly the first one which is a pretty decent movie.
5/10

This is one that I've tried watching in the past more than once,
and for whatever reason, I either couldn't get into it, or maybe I started watching it too late.
This time, I saw it the whole way through, and enjoyed it more than I imagined I would,
but regardless, I was determined to finally see this to completion.
Interesting to see Richard O'Brien in there, and Jennifer Connelly looked lovely.
Some pretty darn good effects, especially when you consider the age of the film.

Expend4bles (2023) - 2/10
Watchable but pretty much terrible in almost every respect. No charm, cheese or humour, flat delivery of most of the lines, weak acting and a predictable and tired plot an 80’s action B-movie would have rejected.
Some of the action scenes were good but the shift from a team of Special Ops to a single operative made it feel stale and like every other action movie and didn’t allow for any character development of the new team members or villains.
The CGI was very bad and made all the big events look cartoony, the camaraderie between the stars was painful to watch and how the film ended was unbelievably bad. Thankfully, it wasn’t too long.

Strays 6/10. Dumb and stupid, disengage brain. A good, funny movie.
Saint Maud. 9/10. Had it on a list of things to see but Mark Kermode's Telegraph signoff was "I remember seeing Rose Glass’s astonishing feature debut alone in a pokey screening room one cold Tuesday morning and stumbling out in a daze, able only to say the words: "**** me!". That sums it up.

NOPE
Was looking forward to this.
Boring and tedious and clearly just not my thing.

Same! I have not seen Mad Max for years (30!)
It's not a film which I want to revisit. Like Hellraiser. Seen clips and still, not one for me, the scary sprogs in the desert.
The Mad Max universe weirded me out when I was ten (and still to this day), with the bad guys wearing S&M gear post fallout still throws me.
So, I stick to the first - a great thriller with decent cars.

Thought this was excellent! A solid 7.5...maybe 8. Just very well done and entertaining. Kept me glued.
Yeah agree with that score. One to watch again for sure.

Just watched it, the synopsis doesn't give it justice and I almost passed it by, a solid 8 out of 10.
It's like the movie signs but on another level.

Wasn't just me thenGuardians of the Galaxy 3.

It's a share it had some very good bits here and there but very wasted potential considering how hard it surprisingly hits in certain bits and is clearly a lot more adult/serious in places than the jokey last ones!
