    BIG HERO 6 (2014)
    I was curious about this, especially since I loved Disney s next effort Zootopia. This was a disappointment, though. Technically good, but oh so boring. Nice to see a Stan Lee cameo in the post title sequence.

    Still on my movie (and TV show) binge watching here. So, this Sunday, I watched Howl's Moving Castle, great, as are all Hayao Myiazaki's movies. Yesterday, I watched another of Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes movies, The House of Fear. I have to admit, I didn't expect the final twist. Still, I find it curious that the writers kept only the orange pips device, but not the masterminds from the short story (the KKK, if you want to know). Perhaps they didn't want to offend viewers South of the Mason Dixon line.

    Still on my DVD binge. So, in order : Pursuit to Algiers, a very good Holmes movie with Basil rathbone (Don't want to give anything away, but I have to agree with Holmes on that : one never notices the hired help, does one ?) ; The House that Dripped Blood (excellent movie, or would have been if the special effects were up to the task ; But I have to say that the third segement was chilling) ; and The Woman in Green (nice plan by the villain).

    Tiresome and totally pointless.

    Very much agreed, @Fire_and_Ice_Returns. I went with the series as far as Salvation, taking in Rise and Salvation on a lot of goodwill from the near-perfect TT and T2. Genisys shook my confidence like a massive earthquake; Dark Fate made me want to go French Revolution on the entire Terminator franchise.

    Right now, there's TT, T2 and a considerable collection of really good comic books. The rest is just there, staring at me like a hungry child while I'm royally consuming the Brad Fiedel scores of the original terminators and explaining to my girlfriend what made those movies so epic.

    Dark Fate is a poor reboot, early into the film I did think I may as well switch this off and watch T2. I did not bother watching the end of Dark Fate I totally lost interest during the plane scene. As bad as Genysis was I did find it amusing, Dark Fate was just flat.

    HAIL, CAESAR (Joel and Ethan Coen, 2016)

    Not their best, but pretty good.

    SCRE4M Probably the best of the sequels certainly better than part 3, ten years later this film is quite entertaining.

    Far from their best, but I love Ralph Fiennes in it, particularly the pronunciation scene! Fiennes should do a lot more comedy based on this and The Grand Budapest Hotel!

    The Art of war

    I don’t know how I feel about this film Wesley Snipes is trying something that is something however the telegraph the twist and the villains so early you would have to be blind not to see it coming

    The music is good the cast is strong but it’s not as amazing as it thinks it is ... I feel like the twist is supposed to be so shocking but I kind of guessed it the first time and after a bunch of time watching this I just meh

    Good choice. The best looking Jason and my favourite Final Girl of the series. It's a shame that it also happenes to be the film most butchered by the censors. And not forgetting this (unplanned) classic kill...

    Jason is near God Mode in this film, the sleeping bag scene was funny.

    Silly early spoof and one of the better ones from 1976, about the first nuclear powered bus.

    MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL (Joachim Rønning, 2019)


    I loved the first ,but this one was pretty bad.

    The predator - after all the bad criticism I finally got to watch it and it proved to be a very entertaining movie with a lot of influence by Shane Black, who also played in the original Predator movie, and it was a very entertaining movie. An actual very welcome and better installment in the Predator franchise.

    Brightburn - a acceptable rework of the Superman story with a dark twist, entertaining but nothing earth-shattering.

    My DVD vacation binge watching is over. So, I watched the last two Rathbone Holmes, Terror by Night and Dressed to Kill, both entertaining (and I had seen them way back when when they aired on sunday afternoons on french TV) ; Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, still as good today as it was when it was filmed ; and The Greatest Showman (really nice, and those songs are really great). Plus the second season of The Good Place, the first seven episodes of the third season of Supergirl, and the Crisis on Earth-X crossover (sometimes a bit confusing, given that I don't know some of the characters, and didn't quite follow the respective series, but great nonetheless).

    Just finished Licence to Kill. Very sentimental about this film, I think Pam, Sanchez and Dario are real standouts that make this entry unique and great.

    Mildly entertaining trashy Alien ripoff from 1982.

    TERMINATOR: DARK FATE (Tim Miller, 2019)

    Much better than I expected. Top three Terminator, along with Judgment Day and Genisys.

    Dressed To Kill (1980)

    Classic Brian De Palma. A half arsed rip off of Psycho, but oh so very entertaining!

    Wonderfully shot with a good cast. Beautiful score from Pino Donnagio.

    Nancy Allen in black lingerie.... Oh my! 😍

    Good film not my favorite De Palma though I think it was the first one I watched, Angie Dickenson and Michael Caine are good. Not including De Palma's more obvious great movies, Body Double is a film I always found entertaining is has so bad its good moments. Femme Fatale is also a good lessor known film, the opening set piece is superb.

    I never found much to like in his latter films. Is Femme Fatale the one where it opens with a 'robbery' of an outfit made of gold. I remember the two females making out in the toilet cubicle... ;)

    Yes that's the one haha, true his later film's were inferior. Though I like aspects of Snake Eyes from a technical stand point. I have yet to see one of his more recent films Passion starring Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace.

    Great movie.
    Sky Arts had a programme about him last night
    In their The Directors season!
    Must mention Blow Out, one of my favourites of his, John Travolta, John Lithgow and Nancy Alken again. Really good thriller!
    And Carlitos Way is brilliant too!

    Yeah, i think Blow Out is his most accomplished film. Everything works brilliantly in it.

    My own personal favourite is Carrie.

    Also love Sisters, Phantom of the Paradise, The Fury, Carlito's Way and Mission Impossible.

    Nowhere near the level of THE SHINING, but I still had a pretty good time with it, at least until the final half hour at the hotel.

    Giornata nera per l'ariete (1971)

    a.k.a. THE FIFTH CORD

    Beautifully shot giallo with a rather pedestrian story.
    Considering Vittorio Storaro was the cinematographer and Ennio Morricone provided the score it's a beauty to behold and to listen to.
