What film did you watch last night?

There Will Be Blood - 10/10
Seen it before...

Do I even have to justify this masterpiece? The direction/score/casting/writing...

"How good do you want this film to be?"
Daniel Day Lewis: "Yes"

Gangs Of New York 9.5/10

Again DDL smashing it along with the entire perfect casting. A Scorsese masterpiece.

I swear DDL could be THE greatest actor ever, the sheer commitment/personification he takes on in any role is genuinely god tier, I can't think of anything that he's done that isn't perfection?

Alien: Covenant - 5/10

We-e-e-e-e-ell...it's nowhere near as terrible as I remembered it being. It's not great, that's for damned sure. But at least a few of the cast (Fassbender, Waterson, McBride) didn't entirely disgrace themselves.

And they didn't spend quite as much as was wasted on The Great Wall.

Probably the weakest of the alien films. It's plot is just driven by people doing dumb things. 5/10 is probably about right though.
 
Have a Good Trip : Adventures in Psychedelics : 7/10

Documentary on Netflix featuring celebrities telling anecdotes about their hallucinogenic drug use.

Funny and absolutely spot on about the experience. And it didn't surprise me at all that Ben Stiller only ever took it once and had a terrible time because he's too uptight :p

Really weak entry into the franchise, a hard watch overall, watched it upon release and just thought I'd never revisit it, anyways last year me and the GF decided to work our way through the Alien and Predator franchises as she'd never seen them, we both agreed that it was a hard slog getting through Alien: Covenant.

I really enjoyed it, and David's further character development, Fassbender did such a good job in this and Prometheus as an Android, he embodies David, some of his best acting for sure.
Definitely on par with Ian Holm, and as a sequel to Prometheus, I think it worked - I always think of them as one film and watch them together, due to it being more about David's story IMHO than the crew/aliens.

If you just take them together as 1 big film and their own thing/series, then it works IMHO.

It's when people jump on the bandwagon comparing it to the older films. I mean Alien 3/Resurrection were dog ****? 2 Isn't even horror nor the original writers, it's an action film, we allow it cause it's amusing, but is a strong cliche sequel, and it's very silly in places... Yet everyone seems to forget these films exist and slate Prometheus and Covenant?

Gone in 60 seconds (2000). 6/10. Been re-watching films I used to enjoy when I was younger, thinking maybe I should stop, it's killing the nostalgic feeling about some of them :p.

That's happened to me with a few.

I remember liking Hawk The Slayer when I saw it aged 11 or 12 and being in a Dungeons and Dragons phase. Happened to catch it again on TV recently and the years have not been kind! So. Much. Cheese.

Code 8: Part 1 7/10

Decided to watch the first again before I'll watch the new one. I still like it, it's nothing groundbreaking but I think the world is well realised and the effects are convincing. The heist story is well executed with a nice character story behind it.
 
Bone Tomahawk - 6/10

I'll probably be hated for this but I thought this was boring af to be brutally honest. Such an impressive cast, I felt them underused.

It was quite frustrating to watch. Maybe it was one of those films that was good at the time but I was expecting a western with scares. What I got was a ton of focus on a man and his botched leg, an irritating old man (the deputy) who just kept rambling and annoying others and a big bad that was just...boring.

The way the film ends is puzzling too. It's just one of those "is that it?" moments.
