Forbidden Planet (1956)​

​

An old sci-fi classic that stood the test of time. It has several plot holes, but is still a fun watch. 7/10

Tumbbad (2018)​

Hindi language. An interesting look into Indian culture/folklore. 8/10

This is the one referred to in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Spiderman: Brand New Day (2026)
6/10

As people have mentioned, the grounded Spiderman story is strong but is constantly being shoved aside for MCU inserts like X-Men. I don’t think this movie actually takes that many big risks. After the set up from the previous film where everyone has forgotten Peter, it seems like it’s going to all be resolved by the end of this film.

It’s definitely over hyped for what it is. Even though it was shot practically, I still don’t think the movie looks particularly great. I was expecting so much more.

Pickings was slim last night ...

Obsessed (2025) - 6/10 ... can't rate it higher ... was just a movie for me ... nothing wow ... Bear is a bit of a wimp as I would take that Nikki on and give her a good few b!tchslaps

72 Hours (2026) - 6.5/10 ... Had a good few LOL's ... Kevin was actually not that bad in this one.

The Invite (2026) 6.5/10

Overrated comedy drama. Strong dialogue & monologue driven aspects. Gives off a hefty Woody Allen bygone era vibe. Solid casting but you're left feeling empty.

Brothers Under Fire (2026) - 4/10



Was bored on Amazon Prime last night and thought I'd give this a try. Jeez what a load of kak. FFWD button was used a lot.

For the technoheads out there- first movie to have an all electronic sound track (back in the 50s). It was also based an a Shakespearean play.

Jackass: Best and Last (2026) 6.5/10

The end of an era. Lots of archival footage but a decent amount of new content. It's for the fans. Some new insights into the show & films. A metric tons of laughs, some old & some new. A pensive watch, yes really

I watched this. Don't think it deserves a 3.3.
Maybe a 4 though lol.

Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (2026) 6.5/10

Ignore the weird title & poster, this was a fun watch. An absurd story but it gels well, stacks of cameos. Zoey Deutch is a delight & carries the film. Has a fresh feel.

The horror is strong in this one.

I can wait until October, it's always something to look forward to, and no need to spoil it prematurely. I can't watch horrors out of season anymore, it's been a tradition for 20+ years already, and that's what the other genres are for for the rest of the year.

It's really not that long to go... yummy yummy, sweet flowing blood for my tummy, brains splattering all over my face, no morsel will go to waste... yummy yummy, blood and gore, c'mon man, give me some more, limbs flying, heads rolling, intestines flowing, yummy yummy, so much yummy, can't stop filling my tummy.
