Contagion

Pretty good and eerily prescient, but a bit dry at times.

I can never settle on a favourite Mann film, but it's between that, Manhunter and Mohicans.

It's between Thief, Heat, and Mohicans for me.




Videodrome

David Cronenberg at his crazy best.




The Crow

CAW, CAW! BANG! f**k, I'M DEAD!

Holes

Wild to think that Andrew Davis directed this. From Seagal to Shia. :laugh:




Starman

A different film for Carpenter, but still pretty good.




Vampires

The love story is a bit shit, but otherwise this a very solid, enjoyable effort from Carpenter, and his last truly good film. Also, f**king El Scorpio from Predator 2 was in it for a bit. And Shang Tsung. And the headphones guy from Jurassic Park 2. :laugh:

Solo - A Star Wars story
Never understood the hate on this one. It's a fun film. It also isn't weighed down by the rest of the Skywalker saga. And I thought despite the vocal difference, Alden Ehrenreich actually pulled off a young Solo (note I said Solo ... not Harrison Ford). The rest of the cast are great too.

Suicide Squad (2021)
Awesome. Hilarious. Violent. Action packed. Gunn basically took GOTG and gave it a hard R rating. Loved it.

One day I might watch that movie. Even hack frauds somewhat praised it

Well, that's a good thing to hear 'cause that's basically what I expected from James Gunn directing a Suicide Squad movie

Significantly harder to sit through than I remembered.

Considering he's one of the team members who gets slaughtered ten minutes in, nope.  :laugh:

Venom
I had zero interest when this was released and since too. Seeing the second movie trailer yesterday kinda changed my mind. Watched it last night. Not half as bad as I imagined and actually enjoyable. Falls into the usual tropes of most modern Super hero films. I'll check out the sequel when it's released.

Quite fun and entertaining. Do think movies like this one would pack more of a punch with a shorter running time.

Venom? Modern? Really?

It comes across like a film made in 2002.

I actually didn't have a problem with The Suicide Squad's running time – in fact, I couldn't even tell you how long it was. I was just all in on it from opening scene and it never really let up.

Also, in quite a few ways it is structurally pretty much the best Predator movie since Predator 2. :D That scene with Peacemaker and Bloodsport, you know the one, has to be a riff on Dutch and company's attack on the camp in Predator, and like in Predator, this movie too soon after twists into a sci-fi horror outing in tandem with the core over-the-top action.

Spoiler
Also, the grisly Starro experiments in the lab were so gruesome (hell, the whole movie was) and rivaled some gory 70s/80s horror in the best possible ways before mutating into a kaiju-type showdown for the final stretch of the film. Starro is one of my favorite wacky comic inventions and I was overjoyed with how he was adapted to screen here (though I do wish that at least one main character had gotten Starro mind controlled, but ah well).

Cool too is the film's commentary in the way that it contorts the whole American system responsible for generating a "team" like the Suicide Squad in the first place into the true bad guys of the film (which Peacemaker, in his crass and disturbed quest for "Peace," is loyal to to the very end – it is going to be very interesting to see where his show goes) what with the control of media and attempt to scrub a squeaky clean image in the public eye with zero accountability for the horrors and devastation that they are actively causing overseas. Corto Maltese has control of Starro specifically because of American imperialism, and America - embodied here by Amanda Waller and her goons running Task Force X - could care less about that sentient weapon of mass destruction itself, just their own involvement in its "creation." The Suicide Squad aren't sent to destroy Starro specifically (and like Waller said, she saw Starro running rampant in Corto Maltese as potentially a good thing for America's own interests which is... repulsive, to say the least) and Peacemaker was there following those orders to destroy any and all information about America's involvement in Project Starfish a T in the name of his warped definition of "Peace."

It's actually like Starship Troopers, in that sense, though in Starship Troopers basically every single character is Peacemaker. The rest of the Suicide Squad, outside of Peacemaker, have enough of a sense of awareness to recognize that they are actually fighting for the wrong side on this one and end up disobeying their orders and actually do take on Starro to protect the citizens of Corto Maltese. It is no shock to me at all that the Comedian is what Alan Moore came up with for Watchmen after realizing he couldn't use Peacemaker in that slot. I really hope the HBO Max Peacemaker goes full Verhoeven with the character.

This is honestly my favorite comic book movie in years, since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in 2017 and Aquaman in 2018, and probably the bloodiest and most overtly violent mainstream blockbuster in a lonnngggg time.
