I tried to like Sphere back in the day, but really couldn't.
It's too derivative of the much earlier The Abyss (which I think is slightly overrated), but that was (still) far superior.
There was also the much more intense Event Horizon (which I think is way underrated) the year before, that was also much, much better.
I love Event Horizon. I have one really big problem with it though. When the Evil takes a physical form and face (you know who's taken over), everything goes down hill. It becomes a regular "bad guy slays them all" slasher flick. So the ending should have been different. Until that point, it's brilliant.
Dead Mans Shoes (2004), Shallow Grave, Trainspotting
Watched my uncles funeral via live stream couple of weeks ago. Bit embarrassing if you ask me, his wife showed pictures of him dressing up in women's clothes) He was rich but a fake FXXXXR and his BXXXH wife is a witch. Our family received hand outs on many occasions.

“The Last Rifleman”
Wow, I did not know what to expect, this movie I gave 8 of 10.
I felt joy, sorrow, happiness, I cried.

Same old, same old. Pretty much a copy of the 1997 movie. The ending is laughable though. And Freddie Prize Jr. looks old, shockingly old. While I have fond memories of the original, this one is forgettable.
No sure. Very different from the 1985 movie with Nielsen/Schwarzenegger. Felt too long, too boring. Some scenes work really well. Worth to watch for fans of the old movie to see a different interpretation.
Prometheus (2012)
In the Alien Franchise arguably this is the most important film after the 1) House of Horror, 2) The Pay Back.
3) Was just more downer horror house fodder. 4) Horrible lure to the box office 5&6) AvP really a different story
7) Prometheus the hope was this was the path forward, major questions answered about the Engineers, and the why? So much potential offered. Shocking, great visuals.
David is a a great character, Android, only as evil as his maker commanded him, he should be viewed as a sociopath. And he proves it in 8) Covenant, just more nonsense that fails the overall potential of a story like this. 9) Romulus just more House of Horrors… been there , done that.
Now ironically it’s a TV series Alien Earth that bring more to the franchise and this is a prequel to the original film but it’s the same universe and might branch off, or maybe finish, at least providing more meaningful meat to this narrative.

Just incase, that was not intended to any kind of a bad critique, I just don't go to the theater any more...
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)- One of the finest Marvel films from the Infinity Stone Era (but no Infinity Stones to speak of here), Capt American saves America from Shield/Hydra and reunites with an old friend. Great all around, all star cast, great story and action. To fully appreciate this you should watch the Captain America First Avenger move.

He seems to be hit or miss, as in jump on any script offered...
I like Jason Statham, but what a horrible movie...
Death Becomes Her (1992)- PLOT SPOILER
I liked this movie comedy, but the plot never made sense to me. If you take a potion that rejuvenates your body to give you immortality, in essence it heals the body’s aging, but what about injury? And if you die from injury, you remain animated, I reason the healing qualities should continue, but they don’t, you just become an animated thinking, rotting body unless you inject yourself with embalming fluid.
If in the position of these 2 characters, the best choice would be to shed your body via fire, become a Spector, and hope there is some path out of this mortal plain…. 😐
The worst aspect of the plot is what the customers of this potion were not told, what I just described.

I always thought "Queen of Hearts (1989) was a great movie. Maybe the lame preview is partially responsible for its failure.
It’s impossible to find.

I thought Goldie Hawn did great fat person acting - totally realistic.
Rewatched the first two and the third for the first time. All ok-ish. Yes, first was a low budget film, so it stands out. Second is the same thing, just on a higher budget and the third just feels like they wanted to show what happened all those years later. Second half of the movie is better, but still not great.
I don't remember much from the book, it's been too long. The 1984 movie was boring. When Part 1 came out I had the same feeling - boring. Avoided part 2 but it was time to watch it. So I thought I'd do a double feature. What can I say, seeing part 1 for the second time, it worked much better for me and so did part 2. I think they changed some stuff from the book (Chani/Paul), but I'm not 100% sure. On my rewatch list before part 3.
