How was I not aware this existed?! I love the Jay and Silent Bob films!

I still haven´t seen their own movies, but their appearance in Dogma is epic. I love the Dogma movie:

Oh yeah, Dogma was great! It was actually my introduction to Jay and Silent Bob....if I may make some recommendations, Jonas, check out:
Clerks
Clerks 2
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

They've made some appearances in other movies, I guess but I haven't checked' em out yet! You may also want to look into Clerks: The Animated Series. Only 6 episodes, from what I can remember but they're pretty funny!

This was excellent. Chuck Schuldiner was a complex person, and could come across as a bit of a dick sometimes. This doesn't sugar coat it too much. However, it also shows how fucking brilliant and driven a musician he was, and how visionary. Well worth a watch.

Some parts of this are fucking hilarious. Some aren't. Not particularly in depth or anything, but it's an amusing diversion for an hour and a bit.

An excellent, but long, documentary about the rise and rise of the Playstation. It would have been even better if there had been subtitles for the interviews with the Japanese participants...

I don't like superhero/comic book movies. Knowing this, my brother thought I might like this, with it being a comedy and all. Yeah, the characters are funny, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Drax, and I like Chris Pratt as an actor, but this movie was just really fucking lame. So I STILL don't like superhero/comic book movies!

This noir seemed a bit run of the mill at first but it really got me in the end. A relatively unknown gem.

Watched two French films today. I have a very mixed experience with French cinema. Some true gems but also some of the most like watching paint dry films I've ever made the mistake of sitting through.

These two add one more to the tally of each category. I wonder if anyone can work out which way around though?

De Palma rips off Psycho (again). Still a good movie, but he kind of already remade Psycho with Dressed to Kill in 1980 so this one feels like a sign that the Golden Age of De Palma was coming to an end, though Carlito's Way, his next film, is certainly a massive last hurrah.

James Bond vs James T. Kirk #15
I gotta say I really didn't like this one. It's a bit too confused and disjointed, too much suspension of disbelief required. And I got bored part way through it. It really was time for Sean Connery to retire the role. And for someone showing so much flesh, Jill St. John was decidedly unsexy!

That ending...Shocked



Mixed feelings but I ultimately enjoyed this. But it could easily have ended up in the category of 'overlong movie where little happens (that RYM overrates)'. 



Xmas TV 2020 has provided a couple of Pixar movies I hadn't seen yet, the first which was Cars 3. I'm kinder on the Cars franchise than most (though it undoubtedly is Pixar's least interesting) and thought this was decent light-hearted entertainment (unless you buy the theory that in the universe of Cars they killed all the humans, then it gets dark real fast). 



Still haven't seen many silent movies. This one was pretty decent.

This wouldn't have been my first choice to check out since it's not one of the best regarded ones, but it was the one they put on TV this week. Actually I quite enjoyed it, though some parts were especially corny. 

Funnily enough, this is next on my Bond vs Kirk watch list. I have never seen it and may have to break it out today.

All plausibility ignored I maintain that the often maligned Waterworld is a damn fun movie. It's basically Mad Max on the sea. Watched the three hour cut in one sitting today and it's raised my opinion of the movie even further. 

My missus loves Kevin Costner, so yes, we have seen this. More than once... For all it's faults, it's a damn good looking movie for what it is, exactly like the Mad Max movies.


It´s entertaining enough, but it lacks the same thing many hollywood post-apocalyptic movies do, and that´s darkness, authenticity and grit. This is way too stylized and pretty, considering the situation. One of the few hollywood movies which hit the right bleak atmosphere and despair of a post-apocalyptic society is The Road. Now that is one unpleasant and bleak post-apocalyptic movie for you right there.

This was better than I expected. It's a bit hard to see why it flopped compared to so many other shit movies that don't.

I quite enjoyed this too, though it's basically Stockholm Syndrome in space and IIRC the media focussed on that. Probably put a lot of potential audience off. But I think even Jennifer Lawrence pointed out that if the roles has been reversed people would have had less problem with the exact same story. 

Still, it is often the case that movies critics absolutely slam make tons of money at the box office and critical darlings flounder. 

Sci-fi movies are often in a weak position in this because of the amount of money poured into special effects. Blade Runner 2049 is one of the most well loved and critically received movies of the last decade, yet a box office bomb. 


I thought it was long and a little boring, and although it raises some moral/ethic questions which are revevant enough, some of the movie just feels like a typical love movie, set in space. It´s of course well done, but it didn´t move me or make me want to watch it again.

I did keep this but I can't say it's a movie I feel in any hurry to see again. Perhaps one day when I've forgotten it completely. LOL
