I think I'm right in saying Cobra was more or less written as a version of Beverly Hills Cop.
What film did you watch last night?

Went to see 'Bottoms' tonight.
Bit weird tonally, but quite funny.

Michael Douglas is one of my favourite actors, but I don't think I had seen this one before.
Very good indeed. Keeps you guessing about what could happen next.

The Third Man
Second watch in a month, brilliant 10/10

Retribution - latest Liam Neeson plays a hard man out for justice.......and then you realise it's actually not and most of the film is set in his car and a bit cerebral.
It's one of his weaker recent films, and you can sort of guess the ending without too much effort.
Probably a 6/10. Normally such a rating wouldn't merit a rewatch, but it's Liam Neeson so I will inevitably watch it again one day!

Oppenheimer 5/10
Meh. This film was way overhyped. 3 hours was so unnecessary it should have been a max of 2 hours. I also don't get why they decided to constantly jump around back and forth through the timelines a bad editing idea. It just added confusion to the story they were trying to tell. The last hour was quite a bore and really dragged on. I did enjoy the science aspects, recruiting a team and bomb making aspects so the film started well but overall I was bored by the end. They should have taken more note of the similar story 'The Imitation Game' to learn how to do a film like this justice. Pitty.

The Abyss Special Edition - 7.5/10
This has been on my to watch list for quite a long time. Really impressive atmosphere throughout. End was weird and not at all what I was expecting, think I would have preferred less 'answers' but there we go.

Have you seen the theatrical cut?
I think the whole ‘waves’ bit is omitted from the theatrical version.

Following on from the previous Michael Douglas film that I watched, my attention turned to another of his.
However, I actually enjoyed Jack Lemmon's and Jane Fonda's performances even more than anyone else.
Jane Fonda sure had very kissable lips back then.

Persuaded the other half to watch a 80's classic today. Return of the Living Dead
It's nice to get her to watch a proper 80's pop culture zombie flick. Tarman is legendary, and Trash... Well my other half said "she'll catch her death of cold" Well, not quite, and she did keep her leg warmers on.
It's a great film. Sequals, not so much sadly.

I haven't no, I read around and the general consensus seemed to be the special edition was better, more room for character motivations and development.

I actually really enjoyed Drive, soundtrack is excellent and the opening scene is pretty intense.
Saw this at imax. I think unless you have the large screen and the sound system i would knock off a couple of points from my score

edit: best I add what I watched last... er. recently.
Terminator 8/10
Day of the Dead 8/10
Class of 1984 6/10
the reason I went with these 3 movies was because I was looking through some old photos and noticed one of my brother. That particular photo was taken the day after he rented those 3 videos out from the local Video Venue in Spondon, Derby. I watched them with him. I was 9 years old. I loved my Brother.
