Final part of the trilogy. This one got lower critical reception at the time, which is weird since the quality never drops and is basically one big production. Maybe the critics didn't like a lot of the legal drama stuff in this one, though the courtroom is one of my favourite sequences in the whole trilogy. When the bastards get taken down it's just so immensely satisfying. As brilliant as Lock, Stock. I'd forgotten a lot of this film beyond Brad Pitt's memorable and unintelligible role. Can't believe it's only my second viewing. Weird and dreamy, which is fitting, since the premise of the film came to director Robert Altman in a dream. The film felt a bit awkward at first to me, but after a while it can't help but transfix. It might be due to the poor copy I was watching (an online upload, the only way I could even find this movie), but I expected more of this film.

The Dude is the perfect remedy after The Deer Hunter. Not seen it in a while, and had forgotten a lot of the best of the craziness.

darker, tighter and generally better cut, but I thought a couple of the removed scenes were important to the story

Made for TV and it shows. Pretty damn tedious and badly made until the introduction of Earl the detective about halfway through. Then it suddenly becomes like a new movie, and the final discovery and twist at the end is actually very well done. There's the usual unexpected deaths, and while some are repeats of earlier incidents from the series, there's a couple of new ones which are pretty good, involving heavy construction equipment and reptiles.

Second extended version and of the three has the most added to it: about 50 extra minutes of material. Just shows how much they shoot that gets cut when films first hit screens. Of the course the extended cuts are most worth it if you read the books. The theatricals were pretty good as is. More watchable than its low to middling ratings would suggest, but definitely one of those films that could have been a lot better than it was.

Flawed but still enjoyable. This is the last of the Pierce Brosnan movies, and it's his least favourite. The Madonna theme song is fucking awful and some of the CGI is shit, but the action is pretty good. The fencing scene is amazing, even if the premise behind it is a bit dumb. It's also the big screen debut of Rosamund Pike, who doesn't seem to be particularly stretched in her role.

Bride of Chucky... Went to see it at the movies. Jennifer Tilly. That's all I'm gonna say.

Surprised you do not know the clastic Chilld's Play movies. This remake should never have been made especially with the original creator successfully making sequels. He was not involved in the remake. The Original Child's Play is worth watching for the performance of Brad Dourif alone. Most sequels are fun, too.

I haven't never seen a Child's Play/Chucky movie before and debated over whether this was really the best one to start with (it probably isn't) but it was watchable. I'd have rather watched the original but that never seems to show up to view anywhere. John Nicholson being offensive, but trying to become a better man. Some of it is dated, but mostly it's enjoyable. Solid enough Marvel movie, but the character deserved better and has done so since Phase 1 of the MCU. 60's noir but still in black and white like original noir. Explores themes that Hollywood wasn't comfortable with at the time, which got it a bit of notoriety I believe. Overall it's an okay movie worth watching if you like noir.

Easy to judge in retrospect, but back then a movie like this came out of the blue and surprised everyone, it had nothing to do with the two previous movies which i guess audiences found strange, maybe even shocking. Not a bad movie and it got a following throughout the years, so I guess the whole situation around Halloween III got a bit of a happy ending (if I may say so).

Overhyped. I completely zoned out of this one after a while. Only watched it this morning and already all I remember is that there were ghosts, a landlord and his weird brother and a monster that bit people's heads off. How all those things linked up is just gone already. Pleasantly surprised by this 'rogue' entry in the Halloween series. It's a real shame that audiences in the 80s rebelled against the idea of Halloween without Michael Myers. Makes you wonder what films we'd have got instead of continual rehashes.

Saw this as a kid, and remembered the bit with the iron really well... Hadn't realised it had Sam Neill in it. Anyway, more creative killing in the name of the Dark Lord, and a reasonable story, but probably 5-10 years too late for it's own good.

The further I get through the Brosnan films, the less I think of Moore too. He was always "my Bond" because he was the one I grew up with, but I think now Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig are far superior.

Ticking off another Bond. Solid film, but I still don't really care for Moore in the role. Actually thought this was okay. At least, it's as okay as 4.
