Just watched spaceballs (1987) on youtube LOL, first time in years, not the best film ever, but a great parody and still funny as hell

7/10

Bad Samaritan - surprisingly good  even for David Tennant  - 7.75/10

Captain Marvel 8/10 - really very good, just the usual marvel questions like "why didn't she just kill him instead of stunning him so he could come back 30 seconds later and extend the fight scene".

T2 Trainspotting 7/10. This is funny,  but only if you saw the first one 20 years ago. If you didn't see the original, this is probably a waste of time. The lads are 20 years older, but their characters are unchanged. Great soundtrack.

Maniac (2012)   7/10


Ive not seen the original so cant compare, but I thought this was a pretty good film.

 

Its filmed from the killers POV which makes all the violence etc even more dramatic and disturbing, and Elijah Wood does a great job. Hes quite clearly a deranged psychopath but beyond that I actually felt quite sorry for him.

The Mule  8/10

 

Clint Eastwood still going strong at 88 years old- here he plays real life Leo Sharpe (who was in his 80s) who became a drug mule for a Mexican cartel.

 

With a good support cast it makes this movie worth watching.

The original is definitely worth seeking out. It's sleaziness derives from the fact that it's locations (late 1970s New York) look very run down; the violence is very strong; and the film stock is grainy. It's not shot from the killer's POV. The acting from the killer is very good - he cuts a pathetic figure. 

There isn't so much a story, but some of the sequences are incredibly tense & well orchestrated. It does have a bad reputation, I think that's because people look at it through modern eyes. Yes it's sexist & sleazy - just look at the front cover of the DVD!

Given that it's a very popular film, I would've thought you could pick it up for a fiver second hand.

The Highwaymen (now on Netflix) - 8/10

 

The story of the two former Texas Rangers who were hired to hunt down and kill Bonnie & Clyde. Good performances from Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson, even if the roles they were playing weren't a million miles from other roles they've played before, Enjoyable if perhaps slightly longer than it needed to be.

Solo - A Star Wars story.  I quite enjoyed this, all the main characters had a decent amount of swagger and it rattled along nicely. Felt more Guardians of the galaxy than Star Wars but was none the worse for it. Loses a point for crap sound quality. 6.5/10
