Aliens [Extended Cut]

Individually each piece is cliched, derivative nonsense and yet all put together it makes a stone cold classic setting the tone for all of Cameron’s film making to come.

Evil Dead Rise

A marked improvement on its predecessor but this only raises things to mediocre at best and like its predecessor it’s packed full of references to the much, much, much better film its trying to emulate. Go watch that instead.

The Cynic, The Rat And The Fist [Il cinico, l'infame, il violento]

The continuing adventures of Punchy Cop from Rome Armed To The Teeth is more of the same with added admiration for Lenzi who had to deal with the fact that Merli and Milian refused to be on set together and yet in the final product you can’t tell.

Predestination

An unnecessary overcomplification of the grandfather paradox that takes the familiar thought experiment and transforms it into the drunken ramblings of a complete fucking lunatic.

John Wick: Chapter 4

Deeply average nonsense. We can stop these now.

Free Hand For A Tough Cop [Il trucido e lo sbirro]

In which a cop joins forces with crime in an attempt to find and kill bigger crime but all their plans keep getting thwarted by spontaneous random crime because it was Italy in the 70s and there was a fucking shit ton of crime going on.

The Happiness Of The Katakuris [Katakuri-ke no kôfuku]

Quite simply, there’s nothing like this movie. Even in Miike’s insane catalogue, there’s nothing like this movie. What a movie.
