  Unwelcome 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 10 Mar 2025

  This movie has a likeable, lively group of characters, a brightly-lit, fantastical
  feel, and a spirited, comically gory follow-through. It should have been trimmed, though. With Colm Meaney.

  Alien: Romulus 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Feb 2025

  Ickiness, goopiness, shrieking and squealing. And that was just the cinema I was in. Rapturous space thrills with striking and squirm-inducing effects.
  Pretty damn solid.

  King Solomon's Mines 1985

  ★★★ Watched 31 Mar 2024

  There is a booming copycat score and it is crammed with
  enough slapstick action and knowing hokum
  to keep you mildly interested. Sharon Stone offers some sparkle.

  Bad Country 2014

  ★★ Watched 01 Nov 2024 2

  Liked the villain's accent that kept disappearing and reappearing
  Had to keep reminding myself this is the '80s because of the clean, modern visuals
  Dafoe and Dillon are trapped in the uninspired script
