#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1994. DEATH MACHINE was Stephen Norrington's first time in the director's chair & while there are some decent moments, they are eclipsed by very shouty & annoying performances. Good model work & fx, horrible computer graphics, even for the time!

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1993. JUDGEMENT NIGHT has been a blindspot for a long time. This is why your gf/wife hates boys nights! 4 friends on their way to a boxing match unwittingly witness a murder & must run for their lives. Great cast, & Silvestri re-uses some of his Predator score.

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1992. Insumasu o Oou Kage, aka SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH, is a Japanese tv adaptation of the Lovecraft story, only 54min, where a photo journalist travels to the titular, obscure fishing village & finds more than he bargained for.

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1991. Haven't covered much Kaiju during this challenge, other than the excellent Rodan. GODZILLA Vs KING GHIDORA features time travelers from the 23rd century trying to trick Japan into destroying Godzilla, using the three headed Ghidora as a weapon.

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1990. Somehow, I'd never gotten around to David Lynch's WILD AT HEART, a mix of Elvis, The Wizard of Oz, sex (lots of), cigarettes (even more of) & wild performances - not just Cage but Dafoe, Ladd, Dern. Definitely recommended if you've yet to discover it!

I'd watched KLUTE as part of my #CenturyOfCinema challenge, and Priscilla's essay does a great job of analyzing the characters. making me reflect on my original opinion of Jane Fonda's performance...

today has been one of the most stressful I've EVER had at work. I even startled the electrician working upstairs by screaming FUCK!! at the top of my lungs. Calmed down by editing a MAMMOTH, 300th episode of @thedtvdigest.bsky.social & grabbed a new #skircle to remind myself there's chill out there.

As part of our 300th celebratory episode, @thedtvdigest.bsky.social is looking at the #shortfilm THE SECOND TIME AROUND. A very enigmatic, beautifully shot film. Got a spare 15min? Head over to the Channel4 app & check this out!

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1989: Ringo Lam's WILD SEARCH has been likened to Witness; yeah if you squint hard enough, although there's no barn building here. Chow Yun Fat stars as a cop on the edge, protecting a young child & her aunt from a gang of arms smugglers. Gritty, realistic action.

Finished S3 of ALICE IN BORDERLAND
Enjoyed it but it sorely missed the visceral action setpieces of S2.

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1988. HER VENGEANCE is a nasty grape/revenge flick about a young woman (Siu-Fung Wong) goes after the 5 rapists who attacked her. Lam Ching Ying proves even when in a wheelchair he's a badass. The bloody, A-TEAM style ending is awesome.

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1987. I'd often spied CHERRY 2000 in the video rental shelves but never got round to seeing it. Wow. This is one for all those incels demanding their sexbots. Speaking of: our "hero" is an idiot who ignored the "Do Not Get Wet!" warning sticker. Great crane stunt though.

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1986. Seriously, Jeff Bridges was a GOD in the 80's. In 8 MILLION WAYS TO DIE he's a alcoholic ex-cop who finds himself on the hunt for murderers of a girl he failed to protect. Rosanna Arquette is the femme fatale while Andy Garcia goes all James Woods.

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1985:JAGGED EDGE is a fun courtroom thriller. Jeff Bridges, editor of a San Fran newspaper is accused of brutally murdering his wife by DA Peter Coyote, & hires ex prosecutor Glenn Close. The courtroom scenes are v compelling & the film keeps you guessing up to the end.
