    Wild at Heart is easily my favourite Cage performance.

    Bringing Out The Dead is pretty great as well.

    Vampire's Kiss is better than the sequel whose plot inexplicably revolves around a jar of his urine.

    Yes, the problem with The Wicker Man that Vampire's Kiss (very positively reviewed on the last page) does not have, is that most of The Wicker Man is boring. Most of the highlights are at the end.

    Watched Ready Player One and for me it's an instant modern classic. Absolutely loved it. 10/10
    I know it's a personal opinion and stuff but I can't imagine this film ever being remembered in the same light as a classic such as say BttF or Jurassic Park.

    Yeah it’s just fluff. Watchable but nothing to it really.

    It was better than the book in that a seventeen page word orgy to some random pop culture artifact instead becomes a two second visual reference, but it's one of the emptiest, shallowest films I've ever seen.

    10 cloverfield Lane

    Pleasantly surprised with this. A tight and effective thriller that ticks along at a good pace. John Goodman is good at being a front page eurogamer comment dweller whilst the script twists and turns as at times you yourself maybe start to believe him and his theories . It’s very well put together. Some people may bemoan all the foreshadowing and dangling puzzle pieces but t he film was entertaining enough that I accepted it.

    I thought the ending could have ended on
    a shot before it’s ‘ending’ and felt it stuck out, hanging tonally awkward with the rest of the film but I read a convincing piece just now explaining why it was necessary and successfully fleshes out Mary Elizabeth Winsteads character out as an abuse victim. So I can now see why it is the way it is even if it does feel awkward given what has gone before it.

    Good fun 4/5

    Had the internets existed many 30 and 40 something’s would have posted the same about both JP and BTTF at the time.

    Sicario (1). Finally got round to watching it after having it recorded for ages. It was good and I'm cheesed off I left watching it so late, as the sequel is no doubt not on at the cinema any more.

    I'll make sure to watch that fairly soon though.

    The Wicker Man (last third)

    Nic Cage dresses up in a bear suit, punches a pregnant woman, gets stung by bees. It's great. Shame about the rest of the movie.

    8/10

    Drive Angry

    I slept through Drive Angry, but I heard it was shit.

    6.1/10

    Con Air

    It's Con Air. Cage doesn't really get to freak out all that much, but he's got a whole bunch of fantastic character actors to ham for him. It's so good to see that much 90s cheese on the big screen.

    9.3 bunnies/10

    Yeah I might watch it some other time. I just needed to sleep through something in order to be awake for Con Air, and Drive Angry was the unlucky candidate.

    I was just wondering what happened to John Dahl, turns out he does lots of telly work these days (including a fair bit of Netflix Marvel stuff).

    I recommend Last Seduction if you haven't seen it.

    Mirai

    Whimsical Japanese anime about a small boy who has fantastical, time-travelling adventures to help him learn to appreciate his family more. It's lovely, in a style similar to that of Ghibli movies (though the animation isn't quite as good).

    Definitely worth a watch though, particularly if you have kids.

    The Guilty

    A Danish crime thriller, unfolding in real-time and set exclusively in an emergency services call centre. It's a bit like Locke, in that basically the entire movie is just a series of phone conversations (about a kidnapping in this case). Still rather thrilling though, and it goes in some unexpected directions.

    8.7/10

    I really liked this. Probably my favourite book and it's probably the best film adaptation imo. I think I'm right in saying it's the only one that casts Heathcliff non white and sticks to the books characterisation, that being he's a horrible cunt.

    Saw an article recently that painted him as a domestic abuser and not a romantic anti-hero. Is that not patently obvious from the source material?

    I'll have to watch this again, has been a while.

    The Price of Everything

    A cool documentary about the shifting relationship between art (mostly painting and sculpture) and money. Featuring interviews with artists, dealers, collectors, auction house people, and critics.

    It's probably tempting for something like this to really double down on the "a stainless steel rabbit is worth $65 million dollars?!" kind of soundbites, but it ultimately goes a lot deeper than that. Definitely worth a watch when it starts streaming somewhere.

    8.2/10

    Misson Impossible: The New One

    It was okay, very slickly produced, Cruise is as watchable as ever, but the film suffers from too many double crosses. Caville isn't a very good actor either and his American accent is unconvincing. There were a few unintentionally funny bits that made me lol when no one else was, and it really likes to fetishize switches.

    I'm pretty sure I've watched all the MI films but I'll be damned if I could describe any of them in any real detail. Give it a few weeks and the same will be true of this one.

    6.5 out of 10

    I've never read the novel but this adaptation really is the most thorough de-Jane Austening of it possible after the way previous adaptations have taken it.

    Adult Heathcliffe is such a horrible piece of shit.

    Can't sleep, watched Fallen again.

    Jamie Foxx, John Lithgow and John Candy star in a supernatural detective romp.
