Going to watch the sequel The Man From Earth Holocene tomorrow night.

I have to say I liked it. Not the greatest acting but the conversations were interesting.

Dr No hit the spot last night so I think I'll follow it up with From Russia with Love. The fight on the train is still one of the best things on celluloid.

Why is there a naked blonde on her hands and knees in the men's room?

I watched Kenneth Branagh's ego yesterday. Mind you, the dvd box called it, Murder on the Orient Express. What a pile of shit. Some seriously hot women can't mask what is an awful attempt to fudge the storyline. It's so bad that having a black actor written into the storyline is just a minor irritation. If anything, he actually had the best back story. Go watch the 1974 version instead. The opening scene on that one is one of cinemas best creepy moments.

The Institute (2017)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5788136/

Late 19th century Baltimore, recovering from grief after her parents' accidental deaths Isabel voluntarily checks herself into the Rosewood Institute, rather than the options of a seaside break or holiday abroad

There are more than a few hints something is amiss at the Institute but Isabel is pretty slow on the uptake buy soon her therapy grows more violent in a series of pseudo-scientific experiments as they attempt to change patients personalities through brainwashing and mind control.
Even Isabel starts to realise something is amiss but can she escape the fate intended for her.

I bought it as I thought it was a horror movie but it was pretty hard work

Based on a real life place

Continuing my trawl through early James Bond films with Goldfinger. Worth it for the theme alone.

Thoroughbreds (2017)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5649108/

Amanda (Olivia Cooke of Ready Player One)) is a social outcast. Lily (Anya Taylor-Joy of Morgan) is an upper class teenager. They are childhood friends who have just been reunited after being some time apart. Together they plan the murder of the Lily's oppressive stepfather.

I've watched many a teenage girls vengeance/black comedies/thrillers in my lifetime.

Some great ones like Heathers, The Craft, Heavenly Creatures, Carrie, Happy Birthday to Me, Jawbreaker and some not so great ones like The Loved Ones, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, The Crush and All Cheerleaders Die.

This one sort of falls in between the great and the not so great.

There is a long slow set up punctuated by very well written intelligent dialogue between the two very talented young actresses.

But once the act of murder arrives after all the build up and anticipation:

I felt like a diner who has just left a fine dining restaurant after eating a 5 course meal of gourmet soup, appetizer, salad and dessert but the main course was very lacking and disappointing.

3/5

p.s. This is Anton Yelchin's (Chekov in the new Star Trek movies) final film appearance. He passed away in a tragic accident 14 days after principal photography was completed.

The Lady Vanishes

The Gould/Shepherd version ... 30/40 years after Hitchcock's original
Good stuff, and very...VERY... close to the original script...even guns were 1930s guns - shooting opponents was 'hit-or-miss' at best.

Love it ! !
And Shepherd
actually acted for once, showing some 'character development'... as they say..... Gould was Gould... lazy, laid back "late hero"... nothing new.... it was the supporting cast from Lansbury to Lom to Lowe.... even Jenny Runacre kept her clothes on in this.

What MADE this Film ~ imo ~ the ensemble acting around Two NAME actors .

Superb Family Stuff

Watched "Churchill" last night. Brian Cox really chewed the scenery as well as his cigars. Was Churchill really that much of a drama queen?
