Prometheus (2012)
Could have been promising, technically beautifully executed. Overall would have been a better film if no connection to Alien as it fails in that respect. Ridley Scott clearly had a vision, however I dont believe it was fully realised and tagged into the Alien universe to appease the studio execs...

I just watch Der Untergang last night.
Wow. Just, wow. I always read that Hitler was extremely charismatic, but having a visual of when he turns on the charm hits like a freight train. Good gawd, a leader with that level of charisma could talk me into crawling over broken glass with my fly unzipped. It's a Dr. Jekyll/Mr Hyde.😲 The way he berates his high ranking officials stands in stark contrast to how his treats his personal staff. He never once yelled at his secretaries or his personal adjunct Gunsche.
I've been wanting to watch this movie ever since I saw all the Hitler rants on YouTube. My favorite rant is the one he rails against all the Hitler Rant Parodies on YouTube.😁

Under Paris - 66% according to Rotten Tomatoes. The French version of Jaws!
It's set on the River Seine, in the weeks leading up to the Paris Olympics 2024, I'd say, quite topical 😂

Avatar2 (2022)- This is not quite as good as the first, because of a plot choice, Turak Makto does not rally Pandora against the invaders at the start who come in force, and though gorilla action loses the fight, runs away for a while, learns the way of water and has a second showdown with you know who. Neyteri becomes a killing machine. Technically this is a cutting edge movie with an amazing blend of graphics, visual blends of live action and photorealistic GCI and a good story. Avatar 3 due in 2025. It’s a gotta see. 🤗 One thing about CGI characters, the story tellers have complete control of their ages.

I give it a 6, maybe 7, they are far too grown up, changed the characters like Tagart and Tagart wasn't Tagart till the last 15 minutes. Rosewood isn't really in it till the last 30 minutes or less, and we really didn't need the forced race woke lines, they came across as a box ticking exercise...
But the stunts are seriously impressive. However to me it didn't have the magic of the old films, felt like something was missing, maybe to do with the actors looking like 80 odd year olds? Even Kevin Bacon looked old lol.
Their is a scene in the hotel late at night, Axel approached the desk started acting a character with his funny story for a free room, then simply says 'f*** it I'm too tired, have you got any spare rooms?' That pretty much summed the film up sadly. The music is from the 80's, the characters aren't.
EDIT: I should say it would have been a lot better it if had Axel Tagart and Rosewood in it together a lot more like the old films, but Murphy looks like the only one young enough, just, to do the action scenes, and even then it's obvious from the camera angles he isn't doing them. I need to watch it again maybe.

Dove-back into Heat, again, this eve.
Mostly to watch Pacino track De Niro via heli, move to a cruiser, and coax him to coffee at a diner.
Totally-fantastic sequence!

Black Mountain Side (2014)
Vibes of John Carpenter's The Thing and Lovecraft. Is a slow burner that builds tension as it plays out...

I could only stand about 25 minutes of this one...
This was a huge turn off back then as it is now...
You don’t like the original films? I don’t mind the original ones.
The first one was great!
But I didn't like the music lol.
48 Hours was really good too! But man does it have some horrible language...
I watch Elysium last night
Hey, big name star, a well crafted universe, good premise, really good CGI and the director of District 9😍. It has to be a home run. Or not.
It started out great, then it turn into a typical action movie.😒 It could have been a great film if it had a more believable ending and/or character growth (characters are 1 dimensional😣) and/or a good script.

Though lacking a bit of Soul, I found this quite enjoyable.
Matt Damon "could
Always pleases me to see Jodie in a Bad Girl role <smile>
Watched "Out of Darkness" yester, and I was thrown-into a satisfying loop.
Must-watch; I'll throw no spoilers
Being Single takes a little-bit of the fun out of things like this . . . sometimes, a guy just needs a woman's (or 'other', if you are so inclined) arm to hold

Also watch the other film on the poster - "District 9".
The Wicker Man (1973)
If you haven't you should, rec the final cut. Is a worthy watch that put's all the pieces together...
