I actually quite enjoyed Alita: Battle Angel. The VFX is amazing, and every time the cheese threatened to go overboard they reined it back in.

Keen for the sequel.

John Wick 3........oh man, seems there will be a 4th.
Enjoyed and loved the first 2. This one is just pointless dragged out, unreal combat and action. Some choreographed dance, between him and Halle berry. And some pointless rushed off scenes between the action.
JW3 is just riding on the story of 2. No real story or story progression in here. Just mindless fighting. You cut the fighting, you have 20 minutes of pointles rushed movie.

Pointless. Or let me give a point 3/10

At least I can read the difference between 2007 and 2019...

Apocalypse Now Redux (1979/2001) 8/10

The Redux makes the film more like a traveloque of a descent into madness. Compelling viewing and the 3 hours 17 minutes flies by.

Can you? How amazing!!! Tell me, how do you read something that isn't there, since in my post - which quotes the original post - you can clearly see there's no date?

Been going through some 80s movies because we realised that my wife's filmopedia is missing some classics.

Back to the Future - 9/10
Big - 8.5/10

After detailed and intricate visual analysis, I have to bow and scrape and apologize.

I did NOT notice that the date was edited in afterwards.

MightySquint it is...

My apologies.

Thanks for the inspiration:

Ha ha, most excellent and bodacious apology. Accepted with thanks and a laugh.

The BEST war movie out there. Redux also had a lot that was cut from the original.

+1, true, I just barely enjoyed the second one. Should've stopped at the 1st.

"BEST"...

My best is "Full Metal Jacket"

Better than FMJ.

The animal slaughter also removes it from my best list.

The animal (a water buffalo, or carabao) was killed - but not for the film. The tribe in the film was a real indigenous tribe that lived in the area, and they had already decided to slaughter it. Coppola merely decided to film the event.

That's a brutal scene to watch. I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of Apocalypse Now. I find the middle part slow and purposeless. Although Marlon Brando's performance is amazing.

I also prefer FMJ. I reckon Apocalypse Now is more a study of people and although the war is obviously central to it, it is also somewhat secondary to the character studies.

It was indeed horrific.
