      ”Overlord” - Ostensibly a horror movie with nazis and zombies, this was not horror and there were no zombies. 😞 I’m not sure if they thought they were making a zombie flick, or if that wasn’t their intention to begin with and it’s just been spun that way in the media, but it was a let-down all the same.

      It wasn’t a total waste of 2 hours and some 15€, but it was way more boring than it should and could have been considering the subject matter. And did I mention the zombie-angle had no wheels. 😞

                  Anyone who hasn’t seen Mandy yet needs to question their life choices. If you don’t know what it is, do yourself a favor and don’t even watch the trailer. Just sit down in a dark room with a big TV with big speakers and perhaps a nice, big bowl and press play. And thank me later.  ???

                    Glad I'm not the only one who enjoys a bowl of ramen during film viewings 😉

                    Looks interesting.

                    Can't tell if I'd love or hate "Kin," but the fact that the "Stranger Things" and "Arrival" folks are involved is promising.

                    Think it, be it.

                      That's the thing, it got lukewarm reviews so it makes me hesitate. But, I try to reserve judgement of a movie until i've actually seen it. I like that Mogwai did the soundtrack too  😎

                        I've watched all the Harry Potter movies lately and I can say they're nice entertainment despite being partly cringy.

                          Some Rifftrax accompaniment makes them all far more enjoyable, in my opinion!

                              Yuck.

                              And what's the author hemming and hawing about with the jockey? Isn't it the lone engineer that sits in that seat, to then fly the ship, before he crashes at the end of Prometheus?

                              What is with the android lore with him anyways.

                              He discredited the queen too, because he has an android making the aliens…..

                                Hope the next installment gets green-lighted. Covenant started off full of promise with some neat scenes, only to turn into absolute garbage not long after they reached the planet. 😞

                                I'd still like this story to continue.

                                  I think making sequels and prequels to films first screened 30-40 years ago is always risky. The audience and cinema generally have changed hugely in that time, and just like when a music artist covers a favourite classic, most prefer the original but some new listeners will prefer the cover.

                                  That said, I can't recall ever watching a prequel that I enjoyed more than the original. Could be wrong.

                                    Agree on Ridley discrediting the queen. But, I recall there being a deleted scene from Alien where Dallas is taken by the xeno and is cocooned. This scene implied that hosts can be turned into eggs. Either way, having a queen laying eggs is a better idea imo

                                      True, good point and nice addition with the director cut of the original Alien, in regards to Dallas.

                                      Notice how we still remember the characters names for the good movies in the series??

                                        My issues with the prequels is the lack of character development and a coherent script. You didn’t care if the characters died and the existential bs was a little interesting but ultimately ruined the mystery of the xenos and engineers. It’s lazy storytelling imo. Ridley should’ve let someone else carry on the franchise just like the path Disney has taken with the Star Wars films

                                            Outlaw King gets a thumbs up from me and the Mrs. If you like historical action drama movies then this is defo worth a viewing.
