Recent (re)viewing

"Arachno", "Constantine", "S/M/B", "Hunt" and "Legacy" all rewatches.

* "Arachnophobia" (1990) [own copy]: Flimsy story. Extremely well executed - especially climax.
* "Bastille Day" (2016) [Netflix]: Atypical action thriller. Parisian chases, tussles, twists.
* "Beavis And Butt-Head Do The Universe" (2022) [Paramount+ free trial]: Smart-arse idiocy revival prompts occasional chuckle.
* "Constantine" (2005) [Prime Video]: Honestly not that bad/unfaithful, in hindsight.
* "Resident Evil - Death Island" (2023) [Prime Video]: Stunning animation, insane "stunts", variable voicing, BIOWEAPONS! AND: Deadweight history aside, superb use of medium.
* "Super Mario Bros" (1993) [Kanopy]: 10,000 wrong decisions. Zero intentional laughs. Fascinating!
* "The Hunt For Red October" (1990) [Apple Store rental]: Novel's 40, movie's great (if total sausagefest).
* "Tron - Legacy" (2010) [Disney+]: Intro sucks. Protagonist meh. Grid sequences AWESOME. BUT: Michael Sheen's glam publican steals the show.

<<< Pick of the bunch is "Arachnophobia". >>>
