Watching Outbreak for the first time in like 20 years. Post-Covid this one hits a lot differently. Also loved seeing JT Walsh show up for one scene in an uncredited role and kill. Can’t believe it’s been three decades since he passed.

There’s a great ninety minute movie in The Last Photograph but there’s also 45 min of Snyder’s worst indulgences as a director liberally sprinkled throughout the film. youtu.be/0pqLkpXuweo?si=gFos…

The Last Photograph: about 90 minutes of it is a brutal, unrelenting thriller. Some incredible action and uncompromisingly rough. But there’s another 45 supremely indulgent auteur gunk that is snicker-worthy. There’s a good movie in it - but the cut we saw is a (fascinating) mess
It’s time in the zeitgeist was brief, but 30 years ago ID4 took over the pop culture.

Arguably the greatest tv show of all time
Fall Out, the final episode of The Prisoner, aired in most ITV regions during February 1968. With the series cancelled, writer and director Patrick McGoohan was under pressure to pen a concluding episode that would tie up all the loose ends. Instead ...

Nia DaCosta really nailed what could have been a thankless gig. The Bone Temple is a huge improvement over the uneven 28 Years Later. It’s more conventional but better, without any of the dumb bits that marred the last one. The last half hour is a classic.
The Santa in The Silent Partner played by Christopher Plummer is 1000x scarier than any of the Silent Night, Deadly Night ones. joblo.com/the-silent-partner…
Really didn’t care for Anaconda. It’s meta but the jokes fall FLAT. You think that many talented people at least some of the jokes would land but alas.
So let me ask - everyone was (rightly) furious when comedians played the Riyadh Comedy Festival yet no one seems to care pretty much every major Hollywood star was at the Red Sea Festival in Saudi Arabia last week. What gives?

Ella McKay is brutal. Hard to believe it comes from the same man who made Terms of Endearment and Broadcast News. It just feels like Brooks doesn’t have a handle on making a contemporary movie, even setting it in 2008 can’t help it from feeling like an antique.
