Don't diddle dead things!
Me and the wife were watching 'the possession of Hannah Grace' and it reminded me of this 90s gem. Ewan McGregor takes a job as a night watchman at a morgue to pay for law school and it's obviously kinda freaky but then he begins to realise he's being implicated for a series of murders. Great psychological build ups and scares and great performances from josh brolin and Nick Nolte. The only real let down is Ewan McGregor and his terrible American accent which is so bad it's almost distracting. Most definitely worth a watch.

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Cube (1997) in Movies
Jan 8, 2021
Kicking off with a genuinely iconic horror kill, Cube is a blast from the get go, albeit a slow burning one.
The whole film has a claustrophobic and intimate feel, with a minimalist set design and a small cast, who are all great by the way. The simple narrative is tantalizing and executed well, with some tense moments, decent plot twists, and the odd splash of sci-fi gore for good measure.
It's low budget, boasts some dodgy effects occasionally, and not at all groundbreaking or spectacular, but it has that 90s sci-fi/horror charm to it, and overall is a competent and entertaining thriller. One of those films that I could easily watch every couple of years.

Amy Norman (1048 KP) rated Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019) in Movies
May 17, 2020 (Updated Jul 6, 2020)
Considering the source material, I think the writers have come up with a pretty decent story, they also haven't shied away from the source either but made it palatable for the wider audience.
My son and I both thoroughly enjoyed it, there were giggles for grown ups and kids.
It moved at a fast pace but my son kept up with it all, and even gleaned most of the meaning when mixed languages were being spoken (he can't read all the words himself yet!)
It is what it is, a fun feel good family movie, with a little bit of a 90s comedy style to it.
Perfect to watch with the kids.

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021) in Movies
Feb 16, 2022
Watching Space Jam: A New Legacy is exactly how I imagine experiencing the nine circles of Dante's Inferno would be like, a seemingly endless advertisement for Warner Bros, whilst the remnants of your childhood melt away in painful, screaming agony. Remember how much fun you had back in the 90s with the original Space Jam? Yeah? Fuck you. Here's a violent barrage of quidditch, Matrix jokes, and cool video game lingo, whilst Porky Pig raps in your dumb faces, you dumb bastards.
Look, I know this is a film for kids, but honestly, the kids deserve better. At least Don Cheadle seems like he had fun. Good for him. Good. For. Him.
