Return of the Jedi.

Superb. I love the Vader-Luke dynamic. The true end of the Skywalker saga. Anything after Episode 6 is just big budget fan fiction.

Just watched this on Amazon Prime.

Really enjoyed it. Perhaps not much different to any other film about individuals fighting the system but if you have a healthy disregard for anyone who puts themselves "in charge" then this is food for the soul...

Just watched - World War Z for the second time around.

I remember being disappointed when I saw it in the cinema.

It`s not actually a bad film for a genre that has been done to death.

All of this talk of sci-Fi makes me want to watch Silent Running again, my all time favourite. The big picture of man v environment, a man who puts the survival of earth above the demands of corporations. Add to that robots with personality years before star wars, an iconic ship* and music by Joan Baez. A stunning film which was very formative to me when I first saw it as a teen.

*film nerd fact - the ship model was later used as part of the armada of the original battle star galactica.

Pop quiz - what is the ship called?

Valley Forge, I've got the T-shirt:




Named after the aircraft carrier it was filmed on

Having read the book,I was made up when I heard it was getting made into a film,went to see it in the day of release and was so disappointed by it,its not a bad film,it just doesnt do the novel any justice what so ever

Just watched friend request, didn't know what to expect but it was actually ok, quite tense and creepy and makes you jump in certain parts

Read the book and you'll see how awful it is.
The author actually released a statement on his official website apologising to fans for what the film turned into.
It's literally a generic zombie movie where Brad Pitt saves the day

Security- 7/10
Think diehard in a shopping mall, nice and easy popcorn movie, made worthwhile due to Antonio banderas and the awesome sir Ben Kingsley.

Tears of the sun- 9/10 (extended version gets full marks from me)
Awesome movie , with just the right amount of emotion and contextual awareness, how is this 15 years old already!!!!!!

Great T shirt. Thanks for the nugget about where it got its name.

I read the book many years ago and I do agree that the film isn`t a patch on the book, which is why I was so disappointed when I watched it first time around.

However if you forget about the book and just take the film on face value, it`s not a bad film.

Sequel due out next year.

Fair point, if it was called anything else I probably wouldn't mint it tbh

‘Selfie from Hell’ from off of the Netflixes.

Terrible. Thought it would be so bad it was good, and it did have potential - awful acting, hilariously bad dialogue, nonsensical plot - but ultimately too boring to be a good, bad movie.

Another little gem from the Horror Channel - Rupture.

A single mum is kidnapped by a shadowy organisation and tortured, seemingly for no reason.

A real head bender, quite disturbing, but slightly let down by the ending.

I also find Noome Rapace strangely attractive.

Watched BlacKkKlansman. Excellent. Hilarious and horrifying.

Watched Shutter Island over the weekend and it absolutely blew my head off. Still don't know exactly what happened in the end. Good though
