"I wasn’t a fan of live records until I heard this because they always lacked something. But the energy on this record was stunning and the clarity and depth of the recording, the looseness of it, the songs they chose and the whole live atmosphere made it wonderful. Not just that, Richie Blackmore was a giant. I resonated more with Page and Brian May at the time because they had a unique style whereas Richie was just this amazing guitar player. He could take a strat and just play it, and his vibrato, his bending and his chops meant that he was as good as any of those guys. But you can’t compare let’s say the guitar playing on ‘The Battle Of Evermore’ with ‘ Whole Lotta Love’ or ‘Since I’ve Been Loving You’ with ‘Tangerine’, but with Richie Blackmore it was one thing: great rock guitar playing."

Key Cronenberg movie starts off relatively restrained but ends up with a festival of bonkers ickiness. A man in the middle of a custody battle finds people connected to his ex-wife are being murdered by deformed child-like dwarves with weird, non-human anatomies. Can unorthodox psychiatrist Oliver Reed shed light on the situation?

Undeniably a horror movie, but one rich in subtext and metaphor, as well as containing several ew-that's-unbelievably-gross moments. (Students of the director may also wonder just how bad his divorce must have been.) Less Oliver Reed than you might hope for, but a remarkable performance from Samantha Eggar, and a great many memorable and disturbing sequences. Works on all sorts of levels, though some people may struggle to see past the more graphic aspects of the film. Still, this is horror done with brains and style.

Poor editing for the fight scenes
Another rehash of old plots
Spotted this new Netflix film and it looked OK from the trailer. A drone pilot is sent to the front line after disobeying an order. He soon realises he is paired up with a top secret enhanced AI super soldier on a shady mission.
The action scenes are not too bad, apart from the fight editing which was very choppy. Obviously spent a lot of money on the budget. The robotic soldiers took similar to another Netflix film @Code 8 (2019) and the battle scenes are decent. As the film moves on to the final act it's like a pick n mix of many other films including the Terminator amongst others.
Worth a watch for action fans but nothing particularly original or outstanding here. Complete with Marvel in jokes.
