What Films Have You Seen Recently?

Life. Gravity meets Alien in this sci-fi horror flick starring Ryan Reynolds, Rebecca Ferguson and Jake Gyllenhaal. A team on the International Space Station are studying samples from Mars when they find a living organism among them - a microscopic single-cell life form that confirms the existence of life elsewhere in the universe. Of course, being that sort of movie, it doesn't stay microscopic for long... This is a terrific, intense, exciting and scary SF chiller that I really enjoyed. Criticisms that this is "just like Alien" are most unfair IMO - it's a monster movie on a spaceship so yeah there's gonna be similarities, but blimey it's been nearly 40 years since Alien, are you telling me we can't ever do that genre again?! (I'm willing to put money on this being better than Alien:Covenant too )
Goodness me, I can't remember the last time I went to the cinema twice in one week - and really enjoyed them both!
This is going to ruin my reputation as a grumpy old fart.

I was struggling to justify it at near a tenner but the current price is not far off what I was paying in the 90's when I spent a LOT of time in the cinema. My record is still 3 times in one day for starship troopers.

I pay £17.99 a month to Odeon for unlimited trips, a single ticket costs £11.25 - problems with living in a big city, almost London prices... Liverpool is getting more expensive every year.

Outside of film festivals i normally went to the cinema a couple of times a year until last month when i got an Odeon limitless card and have been 9 times in the last five weeks. We have a 5 screen Curzon opening in Oxford this October and tempted to become a member there as well as only £200 per year.

Rolling Vengeance (1987, Steve H Stern)
Yet again ... they don't make em like they used to...
Ned Beatty heads a clan of ne'r do wells. A local family falls foul of their 'high jinks' ...so when the father is hospitalised ... the son steps up to the challenge. hokey, creaky and horrible in equal measures. Highly recommended!!

Watched on vhs. A faded, 4:3 print at that

IMO they just don't make films as good as they use to , even the acting was different and better . a lot of today's film might be film or Blockbuster of the year , but still prefer the older movies , take films like oliver twist , wizard of oz, hunchback of Notre dame, Spartacus , peeping tom just a few but there loads of old films that still stand test of time for how old they are when they didn't have the technology they have today . give me films like these etc from 40s to the 70s \ 80s over most films of today , look how affective and atmospheric quatermass films and 10 Rillington place are and they just can't quite make films as effective nowadays IMO , shame really if they took a leaf out of the old film industry instead of CGI , big is better crashbang wallop attitude then films would be better its all about big budgets who who in the films special effects and all that malarky ..I guess that's part of why a lot of j horrors work because they don't have the budget etc and concentrate more on story , atmosphere, tension, build up all that type of palaver.
