Last night's watch.... #Deathstalker from Steven Kostanski.

His magnum opus of practical monster FX, that's been building for years.

Would make a perfect double feature with Army of Darkness.

October 9th...

Correcting an embarrassingly huge blind spot for me. A first time watch, despite having recommendations for it from people 23 years ago... #IchiTheKiller

This movie was everything I could have hoped for and more. Outstanding.

"The only way to mitigate not being successful is to not quit.

That's it.

If you don't quit, you might make it.

And if you quit, you definitely won't"

A quote from Seth Rogan that I have starring at me on my desktop background.

Always helps motivate me.

Have had this on my "watch pile" for at least five or six years. Finally sitting down to watch it. I've heard nothing but great things.

If I was 16, this would have been my favourite movie ever. Instead it's just my favourite film of 2025 so far.
Somewhere between a 30 year's later riff on Pulp Fiction style anthology story telling, mixed with the California of Alex Cox's Repo Man, you've got Freaky Tales.

Random thought for the day...

Wishing somebody would release a nice UHD of Tsui Hark's The Blade (1995).

I remember seeing a VHS dub when I was 16, and I've still never forgotten or had the opportunity to revisit.

Come on boutique labels! Hook me up

What Phil said.

Terrible news for the Bond franchise.

If you are scared to protest now, remember: this is the easiest it will ever be. Life under dictatorships is pure hell & lasts for decades, probably the rest of your lives if you don’t stop them now. Read about Iran, Syria, Afghanistan – sooner or later you have to overthrow them. Choose sooner. #3E

Pitch for a new spy movie: a CIA agent spends years getting close to a terrorist suspect then just before he gets the crucial piece of evidence he’s fired and replaced with a teenager who doesn’t speak any foreign languages but does have a lot of followers on X.

Everybody dies.

My guess, is that Scream 7 is going "Wes Craven full circle", and it's gonna be a spin on New Nightmare. So a Post-Meta-Meta-Slasher.

I can only imagine what incredible and terrifying zombie movie George A. Romero would be conjuring up, if he had lived to see what was going on in America today.

Surprised to see a lot of negativity around this one.

I loved Leigh Whannel's take on The Invisible Man concept, so I was eager to see what he did here.

I was pleasantly surprised to find myself super into this lean (for a Studio film) straight forward body horror / creature feature.

In a world where social media seems to bring out the worst in people, the "Tik Tok refugee" movement to China's Redbook/ Red Note, is amazing to watch.

So many two way interactions between every day regular people, meeting for the first time. Incredibly wholesome stuff... And hopeful too.
