The Lighthouse (2019)
File alongside 12 Monkeys as ‘films you have no idea about’!
Commando
It’s basically got everything hasn’t it? Quotable pay off lines that still make you smile 30 years on, guns, chainmail vests, tops off. My kids loved it. 10/10
Millsy my favorite comedy of all time.
Lost Highway (1997). My favorite Lynch. And the only one of his films I’ve seen in a movie theatre. I went to watch it alone in a city I didn’t live in, the other people in the theatres seemed like a bunch of weirdos to my young self, and it was perfect. At the time the only thing I knew about Lynch was Twin Peaks, and the fact that Trent Reznor produced the soundtrack probably was my main interest in seeing the movie. After the film ended I was a Lynch-fan too.
What is good about it and why did you like it so much?
I actually can’t remember if I ever saw it
I just love how weird Lynch’s films are, and this one really doesn’t explain itself at all, just a wild ride. Lynch can also make a simple corridor terrifying. Plus Patricia Arquette gets naked a lot in this one, so that’s also a plus.
Blitz (2024). Steve McQueen’s new film was disappointing. You could predict everything that happened in the movie accurately. On AppleTv+ so I guess not a lot of people will watch it anyway.
Ad Astra (2019)
I was worried this would be a stinker a la ‘Interstellar’ as I hadnt really heard much about it so it felt like it flopped a bit. However, I really enjoyed this - it had a cool vibe to it, some amazing visuals and a decent enough story. It of course goes a bit Hollywood at times but it wasnt too over the top IMO.

Has anyone seen Watcher? What an absolute fucking stinker - the plot is fully known in the first twenty minutes and from there it’s a miracle if you make it to the inevitable end. Shite. ⅒

The world they built with this one was absolutely sensational tbh. It was all rather predictable plot and character-wise but I did really enjoy the Neil Blomkamp/Akira-ness of the aesthetic. A very commendable, digestible sci-fi. 7/10
