  And God Said to Cain 1970

  ★★★★ Watched 21 Jan 2025

  After watching all the westerns in Arrows Vengeance Trails box set, without a doubt this is the gem of the four films.  The atmosphere created is really unlike any other western I’ve seen from the period and as intended, the director Antonio Margheriti shoots in a gothic horror style which is just so unique.

  Batman Returns 1992

  The Electric State 2025

  ★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  2 stars for the CGI and most of the wide shots which included some cool imagery. Clearly that’s where the 300M went because most everything else was pretty laughable from Pratt’s hair to the incoherent plot where they had to shoehorn in some sort of conspiracy with MBB’s brother and Stanley Tucci as the big bad. The ending speech was just the icing on the cake. None of the emotional payoffs worked because they were not earned. Just a silly movie all around.
