Good Guys Wear Black (1978)
Great Early Chuck pic
Alot of fun, Anne Archer is a fine actress as well. Chuck holds his own against her, was an underrated screen presence. Genuinely thought provoking plot as well.
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2020)
Maria Bakalova makes the movie.
Sacha Baron Cohen is a brilliant comedien- the problem he has found after the first Borat and Bruno was his fame made it more difficult for him to prank people- which is itself satirized in the movie.
Borat remains a clever creation, but for me the best and most cringe inducing scenes featured Maria Bakalova- a natural comic actress who excels in some genuinely shocking scenes (Rudi Guliani in a bedroom.....). I suspect this film will be remembered as her debut in future years. Good to see Borat back, but a star is truly born as well- I suspect she will become a big star after this.
The Trojan Women (1971)
Forgotten Gem
I found this online having read about it a few years ago- a remarkable piece of cinema with some terrific performances, especially from KAtherine Hepburn and Brian Blessed. Well worth seeking out.
His Dark Materials (2019)
Takes a while to warm up
But definitely hits top gear by episode 4. Terrific acting particularly by the lovely Ruth Wilson and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The War of the Worlds (2019)
Second Episode is alot better.
Second episode ups the ante considerably. Not a classic but entertaining enough. Well acted as well.
Britannia (2017)
Great fun
Series 2 is a step up on the previous one. Well acted and totally insane. The romans on acid was a highlight. David Morrissey and Annabell Scholey both in terrific form.
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
Totally lacking in any originality
A re-tread of the good bits from the first two. Don't bother.
Wolf (2019)
Dire wolf?
This is bad- really. I feel awkward just trying to describe how terrible it really is. I feel sorry for the actors.
Just don't bother.
Dèmoni 2... l'incubo ritorna (1986)
Brilliant B-Movie schlock
Don't watch this film expecting Ingmar Bergman- watch it after an evening at the pub late at night after quite a few beers and you'll love it. Bobby Rhodes has to be the best horror actor ever!
