Could not find the samurai film mentioned in the last post
Final Girl (2015)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2124787/

Some seemed to really dislike this. It is by no means a great film but I am struggling to get to the level of dislike.
Anyway young orphan girl with certain talents gets whisked away to become an assassin. We see some of that and then she gets sent in for the final training mission (timeline wise this is 1950s America, though that matters little beyond a couple of sets, musical choices and cars). In this case a group of 18 or so year olds has taken to hunting the greatest prey of all (humans in case you were unaware) and she goes in as bait.
So very far from the best young girl becomes assassin thing I have ever seen and I think we are just supposed to take the woods being lit up at night (though cinematography was more than passable here). That said I actually kind of bought her as capable of hurting someone, she kind of plays to the size difference, she does take a kicking and some injuries beyond the token "I am hard, I am putting back in a dislocated ?/removing a piercing injury". This is something many far higher budget efforts seem to fail completely at so I suppose they get points for that one.
The would be villains were a bit one note and attempts at making a group dynamic and backstory for some of them fell somewhat flat (I appreciate a bit of effort though) but I also bought them as posing a threat.
Writing was not the worst, though sub par to say the least. The outline was probably quite good though.
Would have made for a great setup for a TV series, indeed that effort at turning Nikita into a TV series a while back would be a better choice if you are after this sort of thing (haven't seen Hanna the TV series, the film really bored me senseless though). Might have even done as a small arc for something like a new location and villain of the week TV show a la criminal minds.

Can't even particularly suggest it for fans of the genre (be it "hit girl" or "trains a young assassin") or the lead actors but was also not a real slog to get through either (granted it is 1h20 so eh).

try looking up "SHOGUN" a classic

The 1980 TV series? Seems to be a copy out there so will give it a look. Could even do it in preparation for the FX one that has been in limbo for a while. The film I was looking for though was Yoroi Samurai Zombie and was done by the same guy that made Versus (2000) which is one of my favourite zombie films.

As far as Karens I quite like Karen bingo

The last movie I saw was Cherry, The Story of a Young Man Who Joined the Army, came out traumatized to end up drugged from robbing banks. Nothing very original and yet I found this film remarkable! Tom Holland makes this suffering character terribly endearing despite his appalling quirks

Color Out of Space - 7/10



I watched the "Psycho" remake last night, was pretty good. I love Alfred Hitchcock films.

Ever watch Bates Motel? I'm 49 and it's one of my all time favorite series. Soooooooooooo so so good! Of course it's not actually Hitchcock but... yeah. :)

ALSO, do not watch it alone, but do not watch it with your parents.

When you are done, watch The Disaster Artist to find out more about your new favorite film of all time.

Alien (1979) Theatrical + Directors Version

220px-Alien_movie_poster.jpg

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_(film)

After 42 Years still one of he most scariest Monsters in Movie History.

Re-visiting the 2 Versions,now I am (still) more the Fan of the Theatrical (Original) Version.
The Scott Version seems now "to fast" for me...especially to notice in this Scene:

 
I saw the new Mortal Kombat. It was not as good as I hoped for, but there was a few awesome action scenes.

Also saw Those Who Wish Me Dead. It was way better than I expected. A very good thrill ride!
