Enjoyed this more than it had been set up for me; essentially a feature-length manipulation and test of faith of the protagonists. The new antagonist Terry Silver is such a quintessential stock 80s movie villain as to almost be cartoonish, but he is nonetheless utilised strongly. An engaging film that pays off with a solid relief of tension. I wish Margaret the secretary was in it more.

The Karate Kid Part II 1986
A solid, well-paced follow-up with a good sense of progression & callback, relatable characters, and an increase in stakes and menace throughout its runtime. Antagonist Chozen brings a persistent malice towards Daniel, which escalates towards an intense and gripping final act. I found self feeling empathy towards many of the characters also; there was a real sense of community in the film's central setting. Very good.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show 1975
An engaging, alluring and uncompromisingly queer musical film that comes out of the gates strong, & keeps you hooked throughout. Fabulous songs, outrageous costumes, and an incredibly risqué spectacle all round; Tim Curry absolutely owns the show with his joyous, ostentatious performance as the film's antagonist, Dr Frank-N-Furter. Astonished that this was released in 1975; truly a film with a groundbreaking cultural legacy.
