I stumbled across a film last night, branded as a cult classic, called Charley One Eye (1973), hilariously bad, so bad in fact it was absolutely amazing, in the truest sense of the word. Don’t watch this if you take yourself too seriously.
Rate The Last Movie you Watched
The Conversation (1974). Catching up on Gene Hackman-films. This was great. Obviously a classic for a reason. Pretty slow so glad I watched it solo, my would not have made an hour into it. Hackman’s great in it, but so is everyone else too. The soundtrack is also good, very different from other seventies movies, ahead of it’s time almost.
Mickey 17 - decent enough but not as good as parasite and not really worth the trip to the flicks for. 7.5 Mickys out if 10
Better than Metal Micky?
Do you have to see the first 16?
Good god, lads.
The acting in that scene is nothing remarkable.
Enemy of the State (1998).This was an even better movie to follow The Conversation with than I remembered. Obviously this is not even in the same league as that, but lights up whenever Gene Hackman is on screen.

Enjoyed Didi a lot. High school, asian immigrant movie, kinda like jonah hill’s 90s, maybe even better. Endearing and warm, not gonna lie, was fighting the tears at the end - joan chen owning it.
8.2 / 10

Homegrove my only problem is Will Smith. How Will Smith is he in it?
Along_the_Wire a lot. And you have to wait 55 minutes for Hackman to enter the movie. But still, Tony Scott at his second peak following Crimson Tide besides Hackman is also always fun.
New Toxic Avenger looks awful, pun intended.
Genuinely looking forward to it.
Speak no evil 7/10. Quiet an entertaining thriller, James McAvoy very convincing as a cornish psycho!
The Brutalist (2024). I’m going to have to sleep on it before I can pass judgement. Enjoyed watching it, but it had some bizarre choices in it, like the ending. Seeing it on a very big screen was great anyway, I wish we had a cinema with the capability to screen 70 mm film in this town though. The Vistavision-business maybe a hipster choice by the director, but the film did look amazing, especially when you factor in the budget.
