Despite the Alamo joke and some great music, it hasn't aged as well as I'd hoped. 5/10. Ah, one of my top 5 films. Love it. A shame it didn't impress you but I think it's a rarity - a "horror comedy" which is both sufficiently scary and funny.

Saw it around 10 years after it was made and watched it again during the first lockdown. Love it. Funny, sexy and still quite scary in parts. The scenes in the cinema and the Slaughtered Lamb pub remain some of my all-time faves. It also cost under £6 million to make which is pretty remarkable really.

I've a feeling the director and his design team got to do the Thriller video based on this scene. It was a while ago though so I could be totally wrong.

Wistaston Ram Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Saw Sully last night with Tom Hanks starring. The true story of the pilot who successfully landed an airliner on the Hudson after both engines failed. A good watch and still Available on I Player. A solid Steve Buckley 7/10.

Sufferingfool Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Saw Dune last night. Haven’t read the book and thought it was excellent kept me interested and involved throughout. Only issue was in places the soundtrack made it difficult to pick up the dialogue…..increasingly poor hearing does not help though. Would happily see again.

Eddie Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 The History Of Future Folk An alien is sent to Earth with a mission to kill everyone - but discovers music. Incredibly cheesy in a Bill & Ted way - and equally enjoyable. HONDO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Dune : Never read the book or seen any other iteration of it, so went with the kids with no preconceptions... Visually it felt incredibly stark, the whole colour palate seemed stripped back to greys and shades of black and white. The director has a vision which is there on the screen. Not for a second did I become self-aware that I was watching a film like I do with Marvel/DC stuff or even the new Start Wars films. Weirdly to me it felt similar (whilst simultaneously polar opposite to 'Mad Max Fury Road') that is high octane action, this is slow and mesmerising...but I found both totally immersive and complete as universes, I was convinced I understood the whole back story even with limited time spent in it. No gimmicks, no dialogue full of quips or characters in any way designed for kids...just high quality drama and intrigue. Hope the sequel happens and stays true to this first part. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting fact- or maybe not- the mask Michael Myers wears was a captain Kirk one coated with latex. When you watch it and can see its William Shatners face you get a whole new twist. The best bits where Jamie Lee Curtis stabs him with a knitting needle, then goes and sits down with her back to him thinking that's the end of him then.
