My goddaughter was visiting a few weeks ago - she serves on a US nuclear submarine as an engineering officer - so, of course, we watched:



The other possibility that evening was:

The Birds

I think Hitchcock got lost in the technical aspects and certain aspects of Tippi Hedren with this one. You have to give the special effects a pass given the age of the film but meeting the two pretty bland lead characters in what is an awful opening act makes it an uphill slog.

A couple of supreme moments of suspense and the downbeat ending works but it's comfortably the worst of the 'Big 5' Hitchcocks for me.

Was originally filmed and made for 3D but audiences suddenly went off it and it had to be remade/done/edited for the orthodox film screening.

Hitchcock took a very pretty damsel in distress and amped up the intrigue. Was a winning formula.

Isn't that exactly what it was supposed to be? The next season. Then Disney decided it wanted a film, so it had to be reworked into something first time watchers could "enjoy", while also catering to long time show viewers.

Yep.
I went to watch it today with my kid, I had watched the series, but they hadn’t, it didn’t make much difference, you didn’t need to see the series really to watch the film. We both enjoyed it and generally the feedback from fans has been positive. I personally would prefer 1 Star Wars film per year than 2 series with 8 episodes each per year. I think it makes more financial sense for Disney because they get money from the box office, can sell it for at home rental and then put it on Disney plus anyway.

'Deep Impact' (again).
I just love it.

Obsession - Very good Monkey's paw movie. Performances and cinematography were excellent, especially considering the budget

Backrooms - Young director bringing his Youtube shorts to life in a feature length movie very well indeed. Some genuinely unsettling parts.

Another good year for horror so far. The genre is pretty much single handedly saving cinema. We are 'eating good' as the kids say

Director of the backrooms is 20

Good to see indie films do well, more creative freedom and ideas than the studio set up which is pretty cack now.
