Tell me about it! I think the first half of the third is alright but then it gets cheesy! The fourth is decent and from there on it just sucks!

As I wrote above it´s pretty nasty at times, but also pretty weird and almost psychadelic tinged like Space Odyssey or something like that. Not my favorite movie but still interesting.

Last 10; took me longer to accumulate this lot than has been my usual. 


Captain Marvel (2019)
The Hurt Locker (2008)
Elizabeth Harvest (2018)
El Ardor (AKA The Burning) (2014)
Logan's Run (1976)
Crossfire (1947)
Hideaway (1995)
The City of Lost Children (1995)
The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)
The Tenant (1979)

My favourite here was The City of Lost Children. It reminds me of the kind of thing del Toro does. Also excellent film were Captain Marvel (much better than many are giving it credit for IMO; a very fun movie), Hurt Locker, Logan's Run (finally seen this after years of interest following Star One's song about it), Crossfire and The Long Kiss Goodnight. I know that The Tenant is pretty well regarded but I found the movie just too downright weird and hard to follow for its own good and Polanski as an uncompelling actor. I can't say I enjoyed it very much. Hideaway wasn't anything special either.

I had this years ago and never understood it. I always meant to watch it again once I was older but never did. At some point I got rid of the DVD.

Some people enjoy this because of its intellectual and philosophical approach to Sci-fi...but me, ahhh I prefer more action and shots of the vastness of Space:
The Man from Earth (2007)

This one was a home invasion movie masked as a sci-fi alien invasion movie, and it wasn´t that great. What I found most interesting about this film, was the adult version of Dakota Blue Richards, from The Golden Compass:
The Quiet Hour (2014)

Damn this was the weirdest movie I´ve watched featuring Scarlett. I can´t say I enjoyed it. But dark and creepy it was:

Watched a fair bit this weekend. Another Last 10 already up: https://www.listchallenges.com/the-last-10-movies-adam-saw-for-the-first-time-42

Phenomena (1985)
Yellow Sky (1948)
Wonder Woman (2017)
Bad Lieutenant (1992)
Fury (1936)
Union Pacific (1939)
Cast a Long Shadow (1959)
Night and the City (1950)
Contagion (2011)
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)

From these, Wonder Woman is the first of the current run of DC films that has kept me entertained throughout it's duration. 

Phenomena is a great giallo/horror plus it has an Iron Maiden song used twice in it. Tongue

Yellow Sky was the best of the westerns. Cast a Long Shadow was solid for the most part but like many movies of the time, it ended far too abruptly, feeling like a lot was left unresolved. 

Fury is another Fritz Lang and like most of his it's high quality. Had to watch this one through an internet upload though: not sure why this movie seems to have no official DVD or Blu-Ray release over here.

Weakest of the rest was Contagion, but I still enjoyed it to a certain degree.

One of the better sci-fi movies I´ve seen in a while, although the plot was ultimately very familiar. The combination of real actors and animation Works really well. Visually it´s a beautiful film. I´m looking forward to the sequel:
Rosa Salazar in Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
