Recently Watched Films

The story of Nintendo vs Sega. Love video game histories. There were so many missed opportunities, and occasional lacks of vision it's surprising video gaming didn't die completely. And then Sony came along and smashed 'em both...

Loved this! Yeah, never been that impressed with the music, but it's a great story. And as Mick Shrimpton from Spinal Tap said, "As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll."

I knew most of the story, so there was no real feeling that anyone was in real danger. The one thing I didn't know about was Vince Neil's daughter.

Anyway, I loved the fourth wall breaking, and Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton) was effortlessly cool as Mick Mars.

I just had to watch this because of the title. Hilarious premise, but not quite as funny as the first few minutes promise. There's some pretty cheesy martial arts, but it's taking the piss.

The final film in the Star Wars franchise that I hadn't seen. I can now arrange them in order from best to worst:

1. A New Hope

2. Empire Strikes Back

3. Return of the Jedi

4. Rogue One

5. The Force Awakens

6. The Phantom Menace

7. The Last Jedi

8. Solo

9. Attack of the Clones

10. The Rise of Skywalker

11. Revenge of the Sith

It's taken me 35 years to complete this set, since I first saw A New Hope in 1984.

You put The Phantom Menace the highest of the prequels. I approve. I don't know if for you that means you like it or just dislike it less than the next two, but I still approve.

I always saw the hate that movies gets as a childhood ruining experience. Because when that came out in 1999, that movie wasn't shit like many today say it is.

It was the shit.

We had this borrowed pirate VHS tape of it that my friend who lived around the corner from me had but was completely disinterested in. I watched the crap out of that tape even though the picture quality was shit.

1-4 I would watch again right now. 5-8 would watch again. 9-10 would watch again only to complete an entire rewatch. Except that ain't happening as I never want to see 11 ever again.

This went a lot better this time around!

I can probably objectively agree that this may well be a masterpiece, but for me I'm settling it re-evaluation at 4 stars. Watching it with crystal clear visuals does help a lot in appreciating the long shots, but it's still a movie that makes a snail's pace seem like Usain Bolt. However although it probably could still do with some trimming, I wasn't bored out of my tree this time. The right frame of mind is definitely required here.

Given how much better this went, I may also need to revisit Solaris.

In some ways this one reminded me of a Giallo. Probably for the best the series ended here, though.
