SWORDFISH (2001) Dropping the bit for a second, look at that fucking beard, are you serious, people thought this was cool?! The first half of this is so fucking edgy, it wants to be Fincher sooooo fucking bad it's crazy, then the action scenes kick in and holy shit, lmao, holy fuck.
DUEL (1971) Damn that fucking rules, 90 minutes of a guy being harassed by the most evil and cruel of Gods creatures, the truck driver? Spielberg made movies that looked and flowed like this, _for TV_, _In 1971???_ What?!
ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES (1978) This was very stupid, saw it with a huge audience in the cinema, this made it a hundred times better.
Every Ace Combat protagonist is completely mute, mysterious, and seemingly never takes their helmet off, this can only mean one thing:
THE FABELMANS (2022) Fucking hell, Spielberg man, no-one does it quite like him huh. Incredibly warm at times, but also unbelievably self-critical, a kid drawing into his obsessions as his family life is out of control? Damn, couldn't relate!
BACKROOMS (2026) Hey this one was pretty good, just a fun lil horror thing, every now and then someone gives a bit of cash to a new director and they give you something pretty good in return, wild how that works.
DÜNYAYI KURTARAN ADAM / THE MAN WHO SAVES THE WORLD / TURKISH STAR WARS (1982) We must destroy the concept of copyright so every movie can be like this.
TWILIGHT (2008) Watch this film in the cinema, if it ever comes on in a cinema with you drop everything and watch it I am not kidding.
MULHOLLAND DRIVE (2001) I was sat in front of two people who had clearly never seen it before and were hooting and hollering in bewilderment, it was great, added to the film, two more watches and I think I might finally get it.
A few years ago a friend of mine gave me the worst camera possible, an 18x18 camera with a sensor used in an optical mouse, it had a readout rate of 3 seconds per frame, only worked outdoors and needed to be hooked up to a laptop. Is this shitty enough?
GLADIATOR (2000) It’s a sports movie, it’s stupid, looks nice though.
THE THING (1982) C’monnnnn it’s the best movie ever made Kurt Russell looks insanely hot in it
Saguaro time - King Canyon Trail, Saguaro National Park - 26/04/25
SNOWPIERCER (2013) Socialism, barbarism, or a very funny third thing if we can’t have socialism today.
CUBE ZERO (2004) HEY WAIT THIS ONE KIND OF RULED, all of the worldbuilding is so vague yet so good, a guy got turned into soap, some guy had a chip in his brain, the ending was a little weak and its a lot less focussed than the original but goddamn if it wasn't a pretty big swing for the fences.
CUBE 2: HYPERCUBE (2002) Nowhere near as good as the previous one but still fun as hell, stupid concept, guy becomes a cannibal because he’s bored.
CUBE (1997) As with Event Horizon, movies from 1997 loved trapping people in an environment. This one’s great though, really tight and tense, entirely in a set-and-a-half. Really stands out in that the threat of the traps is much more prevalent, probably because there was no money for it.
DRIVE (2011) A movie that solidified Ryan Gosling as "literally me", the movie that sold a thousand jackets. I love it, it's tense, beautiful to look at, the score and soundtrack are great, that man is autistic, I am sure of it.
ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 (1976) John Carpenter was there at the moment America went full suburban paranoia and fucking ran with it. Serial killers, street gangs, satanists, aliens in the Antarctic. He did it all. Really good, tense as hell, it's clear that so many movies tried to be this and failed.
Every now and then the Disney Corporation makes a movie that asks a bunch of kids "hey wouldn’t it be cool if you could be an animal? But also like, a person? That would be fun right? An animal? That’s right! 𝐘𝐎𝐔 ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self )" and it ruins them forever and makes Disney trillions.
