I seem to have missed posting this one:
Better on the second watch, but still doesn't really hold a candle to the first. Not great to say the least. The whole premise gets old really fast and the plot just then plods along ticking boxes of of just about every cliché plot point you could think of. Tom Holland is a likeable lead, but Spider-Man this ain't. Daisy Ridley had precise little to do except rely on Holland while getting weirded out by him all the time. Even more underrated than the first one. Brilliant French noir (Polar) film.

Lucas from Stranger Things sure got big since Netflix last released a season of that. This was pretty good. Bit of a genre mix between hood film & coming of age with a neo-western heart, as the characters lament both a bygone way of life and the whitewashing of the old west by Hollywood. Some of the actors are real life modern cowboys that the film is based on.

Three anime shorts in an anthology film. Varies in quality, as many anthology films do. I liked the middle one best.

Tried to watch this because parts of it were filmed in my town and the local rag was plugging it. Unfortunately, this is far from the sort of film the local area should be proud of. Quite possibly a contender for the worst film I ever switched off. The acting was awful; some parts of the film looked like the actors were being green screened in instead of film on location (while others parts in the same scenes didn't look like that) and I've seen more convincing special effects in movies made in the 1930s. To say it's amateur doesn't even begin to cover it. Banished to the 0.5 section.

Some great dancing from Gene Kelly, who actually choreographed the movie, and directed by Vincent Minelli, but this is fucking awful! It's a musical I saw live in 1986. I'd forgotten what a shitty, stupid story it actually has. And the songs are passable, but there's nothing that sticks. There are far better musicals out there. Hell, I'd even watch Poultrygeist again before this.

This is one of those films that is much darker and more subtly messed up than the poster would suggest. Infinitely rewatchable. Very well made for a movie with a very basic premise (which has probably been done before). Good tension and visuals. The ending credits song choice is also genius. Probably not a rewatcher, but worth 90 minutes of anyone's time.

Me neither. I think I must have seen this before High Noon so wouldn't have picked up any references to that movie that Outland is supposed to have. I mostly wanted to see this one because Star One did a song on it. I'm due a re-watch of this one, for sure. I don't think I was too blown away by the movie before, though I seem to recall still enjoying it somewhat.

Great film. Peckinpah was mostly known for his westerns, but I think this is one of his best works.

Some movies make war seem noble and glorious. Others show it to be dirty and terrifying. This falls into the second category. Films showing the Eastern Front told from a German perspective aren't too common, which helps set this apart too.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. Didn't really pick up the western vibe myself at all.

I like Trauma, Stendhal Syndrome and Sleepless all more than Opera

RYM Satire time: Gosford Park, set in 1932, is a study of the British class system of years past; on one side, the upper classes as they gather for a weekend shooting party, and the servants they depend upon. RYM Genre Police: This is not a period drama.

A very young Jennifer Connelly. The first movie I remember watching with her was "Labyrinth", but I realise now that she actually starred in a couple of movies before that including "Phenomena".

Amusing enough comedy horror/fantasy. The genres have been blended better than this though. It's watchable enough I guess. A strong cast. But I probably need to stop watching disaster movies. They just do little for me and ones like this that are based on actual tragic events are even worse. To me, this is documentary subject matters tried to be turned into a media that for me should be above all else about entertainment. I just don't equate the two to being on the same page. This one was really good. Great cast. Feels a bit Scorsese-like. Re-watches now: Ever rewatchable. Possibly Argento's last really great movie, though I did enjoy Opera as well. Certainly my most watched of his, though I expect Deep Red will overtake it over time. Utterly foul on a level far above other films I've seen of his, but the genre mix and soundtrack are awesome.

^I remember it like a drug/cop movie set on a space station. I remeber enjoying it, but it´s been maybe 30 years since I watched it last, so I may have changed my perspective since then

Sean Connery sci-fi film I confused with Zardoz many years ago. Don't confuse it with Zardoz... Anyway, a couple of glaring scientific mistakes aside (gravity, the surface of Io), this is a really convincing looking movie set on a Jovian mining station. Unfortunately, it's just not particularly exciting. There's some cool explosive decompression special effects, and Frances Sternhagen as Dr. Lazarus is a bit of a scene stealer, but Connery seems to be on auto-pilot. According to Wikipedia: A song based on Outland called "High Moon" was written by Star One (a side project of Ayreon composer Arjen Lucassen) for the Space Metal album. Not familiar myself. The High Moon title is a reference to the film being called "High Noon in space."

OMG! Misogynist Harry gets saddled with a female partner! How's the grumpy old man gonna cope? Lots of fun gun-waving etc., and Tyne Daly does a great job as Inspector Moore.
