WTF - shoot me

Red One - utter shite......My only excuse for watching it to the end (though no idea what happened, I was so distracted) was that I have had a bad dose of man flu, so was flat out on the sofa and could not be bothered to find the remote....

Poor Paula

She could have done something about it, but I fear she may have quite enjoyed it.....

Caught Stealing
TRON: Ares pretty meh
Jay Kelly
The Running Man pretty meh
Now You See Me: Now You Don't pretty meh
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
Sisu: Road to Revenge good action fun

Wake Up Dead Man was outstanding.

Predator Badlands popped up on my Plex so I’m excited to stay up late and watch that this weekend.

[SKT]

@Matt let us know what you think. My son and I meant to see it in theaters and we didn’t make it

[Matt]

Same. I loved Prey and Killer of Killers and Alien Earth was obviously my favorite show of the year so I have highish expectations.

[Nick]

@Matt Enjoyed this. Wasn't a huge fan of the second movie. First still the best.

[ÆRϺΔΚ]

@Matt Prey & Killer of Killers were great, Alien Earth had a fantastic 1st episode and then it went downhill from there in my opinion. I'm a huge fan of everything Alien and Predator but lately they are such huge disappointments. I recommend reading The Complete Aliens Omnibus, hope they turn that into a movie/tv show eventually.

@Matt I enjoyed this movie alot and I’ve always been a huge Alien over predator fan. This movie definitely increased my liking of the predator franchise. I’m excited to see where they take this.

I am a big Josh Brolin fan, and cool to see him in a different type of character.

Great hair game too. He should do The Big Lebowski 2 with that look.

@Matt dude it was goodgood. Movie of the year for me. Just watched it, beautifully engaging.

Guillermo did it as it should be done . While watching, I saw so many Death Stranding winks. I hadn’t realized how much influence he had on Hideo games, but the connection became so much clearer seeing this.

The opening sequence is the shit

I've always been a huge Predator/Aliens fan and just recently binged a marathon on all of them. I really can't say i like one more than the other, but there are def strong and weak points. They've never remotely ruined it though....not like Terminator. I still have yet to watch Killer of Killers or Alien Earth, but I'm not really about turning film franchises into a series. I willl watch em, but i think they'll be judged differently.

It seems to be popular to hate on Prometheus and Covenant, but I love em. Also Romulus was surprisingly good. Sometimes I think Predator 2 is the worst of all, then i watch it again and change my mind. I think Requiem is the worst Predator movie, but then i remember its a mashup, not a true Predator movie, and i like it again.

I’m never very up to date with films but I finally got round to watching Godland (Volaða land / Vanskabte Land) and I imagine it would go down well in these parts. It’s slow and bleak and beautiful. Not sure if I want to visit Iceland after watching it but the cinematography is stunning.

For UK people it’s currently available on iPlayer.

R.I.P. - un poco loco but such an icon

[Marty_funkhauser]

Marty Supreme is complete chaos and maybe the movie of the year.

[sabergirl]

Eddington is not to be missed. That and Sinners are my top two on the year so far.

Don’t get the hype on One Battle After Another. It was entertaining, but the cringy caricatures actually were too over the top for me.

[Jord]

I think in 2026 I want to at least watch one movie a week... I often just read books and don't watch anything, I swear I said this last year too but maybe next year I'll do it. I can't even name a single movie I've watched this year, I sometimes put something on in the background but end up doing other stuff

@Marty_funkhauser

as a Scottish person, seeing Susan Boyle repping it makes me want to see it lol
