Diamond dust. 2018. Egypt.
8/10
Crime drama infused with political history.
A chemist finds his father beaten to death and gets drawn in to a criminal underworld.
Smart drama that sets up the characters slowly, with a large flashback to mid 1950's political Egypt, the film then has a few plot threads that are separate but end weaving nicely together. With a alot of dialogue and a slow cooker pace, its a fine drama that benefits from no action set pieces.

Ambulance - 2022

A steaming pile of dog feces. So much of it made no sense whatsoever.....like these two moron bank robbers who are trying to elude the police, including helicopters, but don't turn off their overhead lights 🚨🚨.

There are parts at the start where it seems like they're trying to rip off Michael Mann's Heat (which is still an excellent movie) but nope, its just meaningless nothingless.

I like some Michael Bay movies but this is garbage.

Just finished watching this. I'd say 5/10 would have been so much better without the ballet fight scenes on it. It had so much potential, just didn't quite get thwre though.

Tootsie 1982.
A hard to work with actor dresses up as a woman.
Dustin Hoffman is the lead as a troublesome actor who argues with directors. When a female friend doesn't get a role on a soap opera tv show, he auditions with the idea of just getting enough money to fund his friends play.
Kinda dated, but still very funny comedy with alot of laugh out loud moments. Hoffman plays the arrogant actor and the straight edged woman very well. With a good supporting cast and well written plot, it never lags or gets dull.

LOST IN SPACE – SEASON 3
BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE

 

[Jon E(vil)]

The killing of a chinese bookie. 1976.
7/10
With the main character a strip club owner, it follows him as he travels to a poker game and runs up a massive debt. Slow crime drama that has multiple long scenes in one location. It produces a gritty character drama that could be for some quite dull and lifeless. There is a growing tension as the mob pressure him to kill the bookie. No dramatic action provides the film with a steady pace and a grounded feel for a film peppered with intense and airy characters.

"Run Lola Run". Gangster flick. The German version of Bonny and Clyde...set in Berlin. AAA++
Lola has 20 minutes to raise 100,000 Deutsch Marks otherwise her boyfriend is toast. The film explores 4 different ways she does it. Very unusual film style. Won several awards. Great acting cast. (Not for children).

Tremors series, they're very good especially the first 2. After that it slowly falls off the cliff of quality.

I watched Anal teen tryouts 16 last night..Well about 2 mins of it.

#16 was definitely the best one

[Cold Ethyl]

I couldn’t wait! Hoping for a better ending this time around.

I totally agree. The Last 5 minutes of part 1 was stupid

 

[LittleSilIy]

I totally agree. The Last 5 minutes of part 1 was stupid

You’re absolutely right! My jaw dropped while thinking ‘How clueless they could be?!’ 😂

Posetitel Muzeya (Visitor of a museum.) 1989. Russia.
6/10
Surreal horror about a man who has four weeks holiday from his job in the city, so he goes to a industrial dump by the sea to visit a museum that can only be accessed at low tide for seven days.
The film starts well enough, he takes a room at a house and the plot goes on with him getting ready for his trip.
Visually, the film is very dark. Lit sparsely and with red lighting. After a while he gets in with a bunch of outcast nutters that have their own church and goes completely nuts.
With a grating soundtrack of grinding scrap metal noise, the film takes itself seriously at all times, with some pretty amazing locations. But its a arthouse film for fans of slow depressing drama.

David(1988 made for TV movie) 9/10
Powerful. Chilling performance by John Glover.

 

[Jon E(vil)]

The manchurian candidate. 1962
9/10
Excellent political thriller about a ambitious wife of a U.S. senator, who uses her son to gain power.
The plot explains right from the start how the army veteran is corrupted, then it follow a series of characters. One being a major who realizes something is wrong via nightmares hes having. The others are the war heros mother and her husband, (war heros step father senator.) Not a slow cooker film, but one that has to be paid attention to. A classic film that, it could said, 'exposes' a level of deceit and manipulation on behalf of the ruling class.

1980 sci-fi where Nimitz travels back to 1941 just before the pearl harbour attack

What is buried must remain. 2022. Lebanon.
6/10
Found footage in a haunted house.
Two blokes and woman go to a house with cameras to 'spend the night'. Typical set up, things get creepy quick.
Decent horror that sets up the characters and uses a house that has narrow hallways and lots of rooms. Gets a little wayward when it stops being seen from their perspective for a while as a forth character is introduced. When it picks back up with them it develops that 'legend' of the house nicely.
