"I’ve come to appreciate all of Jean-Luc’s films, even the bad ones. They are all of a kind, and such a unique kind. He’s like a cat. If you drop him on the floor, he lands on his feet. A natural filmmaker. And having personally worked with him on One PM, I can say with authority that he doesn’t bother himself with all the nitty-gritty details I seem to have to carry around. He just flies, and the film follows."

Book Favorite

"Just read this instead of reading about it. Almost nobody gets how simple it is. It's not about TV or radio. McLuhan's saying that everything is a medium. We keep looking at subjects, but we miss the field or medium in which the subject is operating. We see the "figure" but not the "ground." He's trying to teach pattern recognition, lateral thinking, and to bring people into a peer-to-peer, Medieval, Burning Man sensibility. It's nothing like Wired magazine in there."

"My favourite Will Smith movie? Bad Boys was a big moment. I feel like he needed that too - he had the Men In Black world and the Wild Wild West world and was blowing up on a pop level, but Bad Boys kept him grounded with his foundation of fans who had been watching him for a while. Hell yes they should do Bad Boys 3 - I don't know how they'd top it but I just want them to try."

Well unsurprisingly Cineworld have now announced that they will be closing over the coming weeks, in the hope they may be able to reopen next year. It's a blow for those of us who like going regularly, but considering there's no big films due out (now Bond has been pushed back) and there was barely anyone at the cinema in the past few months, I can't blame them. I just hope they can reopen next year and aren't forced to close permanently! 😕

I'm fully expecting this to happen to Regal to (owned by the same people). The theater has been deserted, and I've been one of the only people there. The studios majorly messed the theaters over. I don't know how many more times I can see Tenet, I've already seen it 4x by now. This is the worst.

I really don't understand why they're pulling all the films. It's not like live theatres that are always virtually full and have to be. The screens in my cinema have never been full to capacity over the years and I know covid has probably lowered audience numbers a little, but don't the studios see that if they showed the films, people will go to see them?

Decent cast (1 more)
Good cinematography
Not scary (2 more)
Predictable jump scares
Poor direction
Another Grudge
We really don't need yet another film in the Grudge series. Another re-boot that offers nothing new. The usual predictable jump scares mixed with an odd feel. At times it felt more like a detective drama than a Horror film, but it just doesn't fit. It does look nice at times, the detective film vibe sections at least, but it's a waste of a good cast.

I hadn't seen this movie in over ten years so I'm counting this as the first time I've seen it. Wow, what a movie. Disney needs to make more movies like this. I loved so much about this movie. One of my favorite things is just how each minor character has something that makes them unique, and it's so easy to see how special and different they all are. That's not something you get in a lot of movies nowadays.

Insights: When I first picked this eBook up, I was surprised by the style of read this was. It honestly wasn’t anything like I expected it to be. I was expecting a more romance/erotica feel of things, but this read more as a thriller. There were quite a few grammatical errors and the overall story was alright, but I wouldn’t reread it again and actually deleted it off my kindle once I finished it. It was fast-paced for me, almost too fast-paced. Causing parts of this series to be written in a very juvenile way and in turn, that made it just plain hard to read.

Will I reread? No. But that’s just because it wasn’t an appealing storyline worth a reread. Do I recommend? I mean, if you like cheesy written thriller’s that are just average. Then sure, read it.

Bargain basement Hammer fantasy sequel manages to ditch almost everything that gave the original film its class. Plot is basically a role-reversal of the original film; Richardson's character has gone mad (we are invited to infer) and regressed to the personality of his previous incarnation (film doesn't actually make sense otherwise); awaits the arrival of the reincarnation of Ursula Andress (not that Berova looks that much like her); cult of sorcerers offer to speed her arrival in return for the secret of immortality.

Basically just quite pedestrian and dull, with lots of messing about on a rich man's yacht that doesn't do a great deal to advance the plot. Some potentially interesting ideas are ignored in favour of potboiler romance and fantasy melodrama. Production values basically scream that the movie was made on a very low budget. Andre Morell is the best thing in it, and he's not in it all that much.
