Really hitting it, huh NarohDethan? that's awesome. What'd you think of Sicario? I bought a bunch of Criterion films whenever they go on sale, and I'm behind on those, but work has had me so exhausted i haven't watched much. I want to go watch TMNT. OH, we watched the new Spider-Man animated film that just came out on 4k / Digital. Pretty good! but it was a little long for me. but then again....i might've been too fuckin' tired lol.
I liked Sicario. I was wondering if it was going to be some copaganda shit but it has rather good politics given the subject matter.
Films that I watched this week:
- Nope (Jordan Peele, 2022)
- Medusa Deluxe (Thomas Hardiman, 2022)
- Everything everywhere all at once (Daniels, 2022) *my favorite!
- All Quiet on the Western Front (Edward Berger, 2022)
- Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (Quentin Tarantino, 2019)
- Dead Man (Jim Jarmusch, 1995)
- The Flash (Andy Muschietti, 2023) *not as bad as I expected it
- Eraserhead (David Lynch, 1977)
- Gran Turismo (Neill Blomkamp, 2023)
- Drive (Nicolas Winding Refn, 2011)
I loved this movie. I think I'm just a big Jarmusch fan, though. I watched for the first time a few years ago, GHOST DOG, and it's one of my favorite films I've ever seen. Top 10 for me. Dead Man was almost on the cusp of breaking top 10 for me as well. The Criterion editions of both made me fall in love, honestly.
Dead Man is very good, yeah. Looks like the kind of film that it’s better while stoned
I have been actually going through something of a horror binge at the moment. Possibly because we are getting to October (although I think horror is better at Christmas time personally). Now a few of these I can say without a shadow of a doubt are not good films, yet I still had fun with them and didn't regret watching them.
- The Rizen and The Rizen Possession. Low budget zombie horror flicks. Filmed using the same 4 corridors and two locations. Little bit of cosmic horror towards the end. Possession is the better of the two and can be watched without needing to see the first. A little bit of underlying cosmic horror which is probably why I enjoyed them more than I should.
- Pitch Black. Noticed it was leaving Prime and thought it was worth a rewatch. May also rewatch the other 2 but nowhere near as good as Pitch Black. Great Sci-Fi horror film.
- The Lair. I had to watch this and it was included in my Shudder subscription. A new Neil Marshall film. What's not to love. Apparently a lot. If I hadn't seen his name it would have come across as a poor man's Dog Soldiers. As a B Movie it has a decent monster design, some nice and gory effects. But as a Neil Marshall film it is a bit of a let down. OK if you have 90 minutes to burn while you are doing something else in the background. But can think of a lot of things that are a better rewatch than wasting your time on this.
- The Witch Part 1 Subversion. This is the standout for me. Came across it on Shudder I think, South Korean action/sci-fi type movie. Young Girl has Amnesia, but when she appears on TV people start coming after her. This was so much fun to watch and the best praise I can give it, is that it reminded me of watching something like "The Killer" or "A Better Tomorrow" for the first time. I will be watching the sequel sometime this week and then waiting for the 3rd part. This one has me interested in checking out a couple more South Korean action movies.
- Cocaine Bear
- Sisu
- The Super Mario Brother Movie
- Renfield
- Spider-Man Across the Spiderverse
- Hard Boiled (rewatch of a classic John Woo/Chow Yun-Fat movie).
- Something in the Dirt
- Quatermass Experiment & Quatermass II (very old British sci-fi/horror series)
Only watched a couple of episodes and both me and gf quite liked it!
One Piece is something else on my watch list. But I also plan to re read the manga (got as far as the beginning of the Dresarosa Arc). But thinking of starting at alabasta to save on some of the early boredom story arcs.
Plus a rewatch of Batman the Animated Series as this appears to be getting added to Netflix, at least in the UK.

I would love for Peter Jackson to do some more horror movies. Brain dead is such a great movie.
Stevey how do you like the Arrow Video releases? I've been meaning to grab a few but i feel like they never go on sale.
I think theyre spot on. Seem to have a lot of movies that I'm interested in. Also, they usually have some neat artwork/packaging.
They have some sales now and again, at least in the UK.
Link to a sale thats on now.
Arrow Films UK
Didn't end up getting anything from that sale, but i did get a copy of Mallrats with that like puzzle cover lol i think that's what it was called. I also got a few films from Vinegar Syndrome, which is having their black friday pre-sale which i will probably splurge on tonight
