  ★★★½ Watched 21 Apr 2023

  A contract negotiation based political thriller that succeeds in being an entertaining and fun watch. The acting is undeniably extra but it fits the narrative and style. Great watch.

  Alien 1979

  ★★★★ Rewatched 19 Apr 2023

  A classic sci-fi horror film that only improved with time. A rare film which can been seen as underrated at the time of its release, but has been steadily getting its proper attention as an all-time great. Ridley Scott’s mastery of set design and practical effects, coupled with a slow build, crest horrifyingly with an iconic monster. Pacing and a few minor character choices prevent a true 5 star review, but that does not diminish Alien’s prominence in pop culture, high art, and base thrills.
