#MovieChallenge 2025 - Week 20
The Mission: Impossible rewatch continued with both Rogue Nation and Fallout.
Both deal with The Syndicate, arms dealers, and the mysterious John Lark.
How many times can Ethan Hunt be betrayed by his own government before he just gives up?

I went to a screening of Clue, which actually contains 6 inanimate objects used as murder weapons!
I love the fact that everyone describes this film as fun, because it is!
Should have worn my maids outfit to the screening 😜

#MovieChallenge 2025 - Week 7.1
I started with Halloween Ends.
Thanks to its weird romantic subplot between two characters, it counts.
I retroactively choose this for this because it was so bad that I want people to think I only watched it for this challenge.

I was hoping to watch a couple (see what I did there) of more films this week, but life got in the way, and I ended up watching just the three.
But what a throuple it was!

Did you have a short film challenge the week I went to a screening of several short horror films?
I think you did!
It took me a while to figure out the titles of all nine films, but here they are.
Strap in for a long thread!

I was also going to watch Goon: Last of the Enforcers this week before it left Netflix.
Thankfully, it also counted for this challenge.
There was a time when every Seann William Scott film was a classic; then we entered the 21st century!

I used this challenge as an excuse to finally watch Dark Star.
You can see the influence this had on the sci-fi that followed it & it's groundbreaking for its time, but it can't escape it's student film origins & it's not as funny as it thinks it is!

I watched Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
I think it counts. It's hard to tell the inflection used in a foreign language film but I assume the main characters voice over is aimed at the audience.
I feared the worst every time they were near fire!

For someone who claims to be a Rachel McAdams fan, it's kinda shocking that I've only watched this film twice!!!

I rewatched Star Wars & Interstellar this week. Both fit this challenge but I wanted to watch something new, so I also watched The Machine.
An interesting premise, the final act is really good but the middle drags & brings the whole film down.

Starring Lou Diamond Phillips and Nicole de Boer, what's not to like?*

I ended up watching Black Adam, which retroactively turned out to be Henry Cavill's final appearance as Superman before the big reboot.
I prefer my DC movies to be fun, silly adventures that aren't too serious, so this isn't my favourite!

A lot has been said about Batman/Bruce Wayne's duel identities over the last 85 years, I'm not going to add anything.
