The Original Top Gun with Evan, since we were both sick with the flu and it was the last day it was available on Netflix. I haven't seen this movie since it first came out over 35 years ago. I didn't remember much, and now I know why. It's a terrible film. Just terrible! The writing is awful, there is no chemistry between Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis, the action scenes are hard to follow. The best relationship that's shown in the film is between Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan, and they are secondary characters. Val Kilmer is good, but he's barely there, and only as someone to sneer at Tom Cruise. I don't know why anyone thought that this was a good movie. Ugh.

They went through something like 9 writers (?) and a few directors.. Made the script up. Made no sense when it was finished,literally a few months later they called Tom and Kelly back for that bedroom scene.
And why is everyone so sweaty all the time HAHA!
It's a great movie for young male teenagers, pre Fast n Furious.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

I’ve also never been a fan. So while I’m quite glad people are enjoying the new one, I will not be watching it any time soon

I’ve got questionable entertainment tastes at the best of times so bagging out things I don’t like seems a little off to me. People enjoying stuff is cool, though.

I’ll never throw someone else’s interests in the mud, just as I hope they don’t with mine.

Recent Re-Watches
Top Gun and Jurassic Park
(Wildly different in quality of film making but both have the Actors selling the belief in the conceits for all their worth)
1st time Watch
Dual [2022]
(Slow burn drama with a slight edge,Karen Gillian stars as a woman in a near future society where the dying can legally have themselves Cloned to resume their lives up to and after death, but what happens when she the Original survives and the law now gives preference to the Clone?)
Regards

Rewatched Matrix Resurrections, what is the point of this movie, it's all very lacklustre & dull.
There's no energy to the movie.

Borley Rectory: The Most Haunted House in England (2017)
A partially animated documentary which stars Jonathan Rigby and Reece Shearsmith.
Impressively made and with suitable atmosphere. But not something I think deserves repeat viewing.

Men - Brilliant performances from Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear and a tense build up before turning into pretentious nonsense in the final act. Shame really, as I love Alex Garland’s work and it’s a great concept with a lot of potential, but doesn’t live up to it or explore anything in great detail. And it does a bizarre thing of the final line in the film being something we’d already learnt in the first few minutes, rendering the 100 minutes in the middle meaningless.

Uncharted (2022) Woefully miscast and overall just pretty dire. Now I thought it was fun, yeah we saw it all with Indy 40 years ago but then so has every Ron-com, horror-shock & gangster movie….. perfectly fine casting for me…. now if you want to watch a baffling rubbish big budget movie try fantastic beasts 3……just bad!

Jurassic World: Dominion - A little long in places, but a decent-enough way to have spent an afternoon...
