Deep Impact

Dunkirk

 

[Hunter Rider]

Raiders is the benchmark, Temple of Doom is my personal favourite but this might well be the best movie in the franchise, great adventure story, action packed, fantastic chase sequences and the dynamic between Indy and his dad is gold.

10/10

The Cloned Tyrone

this caught me by surprise. I didnt know what to expect from the trailer but its a solid, funny, well acted Blaxploitation throwback/satire. The plot's a bit fllmsy but it gets away with it since its a blaxploitation film that doesnt take itself 100% seriously.

The Shadow: Invisible Avenger (1958)

Twelve years after the last entry in the series, we finally get a Shadow who can appear to be invisible (if that's not an oxymoron), hypnotise and 'cloud men's minds', and laugh in a very creepy way!! This was originally two pilot episodes for a proposed Shadow TV show (not picked up), subsequently edited together and released as a movie by Republic Pictures. The action takes place in and around New Orleans, as the Shadow is asked to help the exiled former President of 'Santa Cruz' (think Cuba) to return to his country, overthrow the dictatorship, and reunite his people. Cue lots of assassination attempts, car chases, and kidnappings.

Richard Derr stars as Lamont Cranston/The Shadow, alongside Mark Daniels as his ever-present mentor, Jogendra. There's no Margo Lane - although Cranston and Jogendra sometimes come off as though she'd be a bit of a third wheel, if you know what I mean. I'm sure it's just my cynical 'modern' eyes. Derr makes a good Shadow, convincing as a likeable playboy, as well as handling the rough stuff. There's no iconic hat/coat, but as I say, we get powers - which also include Cranston and Jogendra being able to communicate telepathically. The invisibility/living shadow effects aren't bad for the time (and low budget). Some of the supporting acting is a little shaky, but the story is pretty good. And if you're into jazz the score isn't bad. 7/10

The War Of The Roses (1989)

This is the third film in my impromptu Michael Douglas Marathon .

I consider it part of his " unlucky in love " Quadrilogy , consisting of Fatal Attraction (1987) , War Of The Roses (1989) , Basic Instinct ( 1992), and Disclosure (1994).

[Hunter Rider]

I never had an issue with the aliens angle, it's no more far fetched than Ark's and Holy Grail's protected by 5000 year old Knights, the film does have a couple of dodgy creative choices and a bit of shakey CGI here and there, but overall it's a fun adventure (the sequence in the graveyard in Peru is underrated), with the same spirit as the other movies and a couple of decent action sequences.

8/10

Barbie

I just know somewhere Allan and Lego Robin would obviously be best pals.

Oppenheimer (70mm IMAX)

When it's your turn for public speaking so you imagine everyone naked but it backfires so hard.
