Love this story. The Vadim Jean adaptations of Discworld stories are the best there are, keeping the tone and the look. This one features a pre-Downton Abbey Michele Dockery, David Jason as Albert, and Ian Richardson as Death. Sir Terry Pratchett himself even has a small cameo in this.

Fuck the critics once again. Loved this! Kathy Bates is great as Willie's foul mouthed mother. Actually, everyone is quite filthy except for Thurman Merman, reprised by Brett Kelly from the first movie.

The third Sartana film. The lead actor was replaced in this one for reasons I don't know yet and the change works well enough but feels a bit weird especially when the original actor would be back for the next two films, both released later the same year as this one.

Excellent silent. The inspiration for DC's Joker. And also worthy of an RYM Satire:

I was obsessed with this movie as a kid. I'd watch it year round. My parents could also relate to it, given how hard it was to get certain toys at Christmas time in the 1990s. Mainly Power Rangers and Buzz Lightyear.

Very solid thriller from New Zealand. Oozes tension.

I've only seen a handful myself. My favourite so far is The Last Duel, a period drama set in France told from three conflicting points of view like Kurosawa's Rashomon. 

I also really enjoyed The Harder They Fall, The Trip, The Green Knight and for something more slow burning, The Power of the Dog.

Holds up well to a fairly rapid second viewing. Notice a lot more early details the second time that I missed the relevance of the first. 



The second Sartana film. A little more light hearted than the body count heavy first one, although it still racks up a sizeable amount.

Got the Sartana boxset for my birthday yesterday and my Dad and I watched the first one last night. I've seen them before but I didn't remember too much about the series. This one is pretty fun and has a body count Tarantino would be proud of.

Haven't been keeping up with posts here so this one's going to be a biggie:



This had a bad rep years ago when it was released, but it's since started to see some critical re-evaluation so I thought I'd give it a look. Turns out its actually pretty solid horror. 



Pretty good, if dated in the CGI department. Fun fact: the suits in this film were recycled for Power Rangers. 



Found this stand alone sequel to Train to Busan to not have the wow factor of that film, but was otherwise a fine zombie romp and not the complete 'what the fuck happened?' movie some have pegged it as.



Some intrigue, mostly just meh. Doesn't feel like they knew what they wanted to make as it veers between mystery drama and supernatural horror. 





Second watch of the stunning Samurai trilogy. 



Third watch. Just had a fancy for an anime last night. 



Wasn't that long ago since I last saw this one but I just got the Arrow blu-ray and boy is it a great upgrade from the DVD.

Got to still be the best version of King Kong.
