Yeah the remake.
Never saw the original so I didn't have a basis for comparison and the last Western film I remember watching was the remake of True Grit around a decade ago. The film could have benefited by being around 15-30 minutes less since the over 2 hour run time didn't really help its flow or pacing at times. |

Underworld 7/10
Early 2000s action film, with the era's penchant for leather outfits intact. I've seen parts of it in the past, but never the full film. I'm going to watch the others in the series, as most are free on Prime. |

I might have been thinking of Rise of the Lycans |

Drowning By Numbers - 3/4
Peter Greenaway with another artistic, stylish series of images telling a story that is held together by a framing device so strange that I'm convinced it is too smart for its own good. Everything I have seen of Peter Greenaway is far, far too smart for its own good. Like when you play someone legit at pool and they just beast you right off the bat so many times they have to do trick shots with their non dominant arm to keep it fun. I get the story for the most part, but the numbers and the games are all beyond me right now. I think I have a lot of rewatching to do and a lot of reading. I did enjoy it though, I just don't really trust myself to articulate why until I understand it better or confirm that what I do believe is actually true. Peter Greenaway has walked into my bathroom and made me shy to pee. |

Possibly my favourite instrumental of all time. I know it from The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover but it was prevalent in Drowning By Numbers too. It's absolutely beautiful. |

Underworld Evolution 7.3/10
I preferred the sequel to the original. Kate Beckinsale is also ridiculously hot. |

I love the Underworld movies. Granted I've only seen up to Rise of The Lycans.

Critters 4 is the Rocky 5 of the Critters franchise. I bet one of them wears fingerless gloves and a fedora and they play rap music during fight scenes.

Rocky 5 still an above average movie though.
Two of its main cast are now dead and neither is Burt Young. They were young though. Just not Burt Young. |

Underworld Rise of the Lycans 6.8/10
Standard action film; I didn't really see the point to this prequel, as it didn't really expand upon what was already mentioned in the previous two films. |

Blah, but somewhat entertaining. I don't think I'll watch the fifth film, Blood Wars, unless it becomes free on Prime. |

Parasite-10/10
Funny, sad, intense, and touching all in one movie about a dirt poor family conning a rich family into hiring them into different, unrelated roles, with all kinds of shenanigans to follow. |

Tenet 7/10
I wasn't sure what was going on a lot of the time, mainly because the dialogue seemed to be muffled by the incidental music. This seems to be a regular issue for Nolan films; whomever does his audio mixing should be fired. |

Tenet-7/10 (for now)
There's a really interesting, engaging, thought provoking movie about agents and villains manipulation of time buried under a never ending bombardment of sound, base and movie score. I found myself wanting to be engaged and enthralled in this movie, but fuck me was a lot of dialogue lost on me. The other issue, which up till Interstellar seemed like a Nolan strength were characters, character interaction and chemistry. Here, it takes about the whole movie to reveal who the characters are. Nolan keeps everything about the main players close to the chest until the end. I haven't seen Dunkirk, but I've seen everything before it. This might be the movie I enjoyed the least. That said, once it's up for home viewing and I can put on subtitles, i think I'll enjoy much more. |

It is a pretty remarkable piece of cinema. You should chase it up with "The Art Of Self Defense" for more Poots/Eisenberg brilliance.

Subway (1985) - 6.5/10
Luc Besson's first film. It's visually pleasing to look at and the soundtrack/score is rather good but the plot isn't much and the characters don't have any growth or change. |
