What film did you watch last night?

The Terminator (1984)

This film has it all and always has been the best in the series in my opinion.

It was nice to see it on the big screen, the restoration is superb and good from a preservation point of view. If I had the option to watch it in a run down cinema with a 35mm projector and cigarette burns I would take that over pristine however.

I also sometimes wonder what James Cameron's CV would look like if he hadn't gone down the Titanic and Avatar route. So many great films over that 10-15 year period.

9/10

Would love to see this at the cinema!

Longlegs 8/10 - liked everything about it. The way some scenes were shot were fantastic - reminded me a lot of It Follows. Went down the rabbit hole afterwards and can confess I didn't see any devils. Interested to find out it was directed by Anthony Perkins son too.

You just missed it, Cineworld had 1 and 2 on for one showing each on Saturday, didn't manage to go but would have liked to.

AfrAId 3/10

Weak story, horribly executed, ChatGPt could write a better script.

Guns Akimbo (2020)

Quite enjoyed this, a bit daft, but fun. I like Daniel Radcliffe in non HP roles, he's actually quite good.

7/10

Absolute classic for sure. Second only to T2 though IMHO. This is one of the few sequels that improved upon the original.

Tarot. Managed to get through 1/3rd of the film before turning it off. Don’t bother.

Glass Onion.

Was ok. Not as good as the first, but i enjoyed it.

 

[BillHicksRIP]

The Many Saints of Newark. 5/10.
Had been putting it off for a while as I'd heard it wasn't great and it wasn't! Whatever happened there.

Did it remind you of IT Follows because the central character is played by the same actor?

I wouldn't say the films are very alike to be honest, other than being horror.

Boy Kills World - 7/10

We really enjoyed this, brain off violent action flick with plenty of humour supplied by the voice over by H Jon Benjamin

It was pretty awful wasnt it lol. Think its been ruched as a cash into the scary AI thing.
WAs it me or did the pacing seem off, it was like the dad suddenly flipped a switch or something, it all felt very off.

Alien romulus @ imax
8.5/10

I think the Imax added the 0.5!

Better than I thought from hearing reviews. Really liked it.

7/10

I watched this for the first time not long ago and wondered what they were smoking when they made it lol. It's a bit of a crazy film.

I'm not normally a horror fan, but this was thoroughly enjoyable, with slightly offbeat characters, loved it.

Thor Love and Thunder. How did this pony get green-lit.

I liked T2 but The Terminator is number 1 for me, so original and raw and Arnie doing acting that suited him imo.

Watched Leave The World Behind on Netflix the other day. Bit confined for me, huge potential for some epic action scenes etc given the storyline and early tense mysterious goings on, but 90% was shot in or around a big house in the country, and the final 10 minutes which explained things were an anticlimax imo. That said I've seen much worse and it did keep me watching until the end, good performances, 6/10.
