A melancholic, pensive and stunningly-portrayed look at the meaning of life through the remarkable-yet-humble life of a fantastic Joel Edgerton's turn of the century logger with musings on grief, loneliness and the passing of time whilst surrounded by the vast richness of the Idaho wilderness 5/5

Still in a schlocky 80s creature horror mood so revisiting this in which I was obsessed with the VHS cover as a kid whenever I visited my local video shop.

Bonus points to @edgarwright.bsky.social for appearing in a promo before his familiar but enjoyable The Running Man explaining we were watching a captioned version of the film with descriptive text, I'm pretty sure this is the first time a director has ever done this.

As ever @realgdt.bsky.social instills so much sympathy and tenderness towards his creature coupled with a compelling Elordi, a triumph of gothic horror with breathtaking production design, shocking moments of gory violence, a magnetic Issac, and a heartbreaking ending.

Happy Gundam Saturday, my latest snap build from the superb 08 MS Team I really enjoyed watching, detailing and stickers to follow soon.

As I'm watching Gundam in chronological order, 1995's The 08th MS Team is a huge jump in animation techniques after the iconic but admittedly very dated 1979 original series as well as being a refreshing Earth-bound take on the Gundam UC so I'm really enjoying it.

Even in script form Gary Oldman’s only directional attempt is just as grim, gritty and compelling.

Loved Shanks' Together with a superb duo in real life Brie and Franco, some stunningly and horrifyingly-executed body horror and one of the best needle-drops in horror cinema.

Revisiting Oliver Stone's The Doors (via The Final Cut) and whilst it's still a struggle being engaged by a stunning Val Kilmer's Jim Morrison's character who comes across as arrogant and difficult, the film is a triumph of 90s filmmaking with it's spectacular concert sequences.
