Watching Four Trails
A pretty irresistible sports doc about the 298km Hong Kong ultra marathons event which does a great job of keeping the human stories behind the crazy competitors up front and central,while also dazzling us with the vistas and contrasts. It very rarely asks the key question: WHY⁉️

Watching Deathstalker
There's a lot of heart to this Deathstalker remake,and the tone is spot on down to its one liners just being a little better delivered. Interesting to see what a low budget gives you these days(from the maker of Psycho Goreman).It's pulp pap of course but scratches its own itch

Watching Queens Of The Dead
Answers the question, what if Katy O'Brian had to prop up a ho hum horror comedy, and it's answer is, she is pretty good at it. It's drag queens vs zombies and Tina Romero (yes) likes her characters too much to kill them off quickly (too many subplots), but it's fun.

Watched Predator Badlands
The first Predator movie to have no human characters* in it, to have a colonic subtitle and nominally have a Predator as a hero**. Its a surprisingly witty bit of splodey fun.
*There's an argument that other Predator film's characters are barely human
**AVP sort of does

Feels a bit light to cover the whole Krystyna Skarbek story, the Polish spy working for the SOE in WWII. But despite a clunky script it does give good french resistance style spy thrills and Morgane Polanski is good in the lead

Tom Hanks version of A Man Called Ove completely fails at the black comedy inherent in the story, don't show him dangling then falling from a noose and play schmaltzy music. It's not sad, it's funny. Hanks is wrong for this remake, but the remake is just wrong

Kate Mara has no fear of typecasting despite this being the second film where she plays an astronaut who has a traumatic re-entry into earth who is also the white adopted daughter of a black father.
It is better than Fant4stic.
It also has the same plot as ET.
