"Lifeforce" a rewatch.

* "Io - Last On Earth" (2019) [Netflix]: Subtle, thoughtful, challenging - hence low aggregate scores.
* "Killer Heat" (2024) [Prime]: Honestly, I'll watch anything with Shailene Woodley. BUT: A moderately intriguing rich-family murder investigation.
* "Lifeforce" (1985) [Prime]: Scifi-horror schlock. Fascinating project. Stunning nudity. 
* "My Professor's Guide To Murder" (2023) [Foxtel]: Telemovie with one red herring, no twists.
* "The Key To Rebecca" (1985) [YouTube]: Epic-length wartime Cairo subterfuge (bestselling novel).

<<< Pick of the bunch is none of them! >>>

Heart Strings XII

Hard carry by the popsters.

1. Alice Longyu Gao posted this on her Insta. I believe it's a BTS shot from her "Bird Without Nest" clip.

2. Anna Yamada as Asirpa in 2024 flick "Golden Kamuy".

3. Cosplayer Grayoranges as Fran from the game "Final Fantasy XII". How appropriate!

4. Dorofeeva on the cover of her "Heartbeat" album.

5. Chappell Roan at the MTV VMAs.

I'm on an anime kick. Howevs, I did see these -->

* "Legacy Of Lies" (2020) [Prime]: MacGuffin-hunt espionage actioner with hard edge.

* "Salem's Lot" (2024) [Foxtel]: Fast-food version. Some neat historical touches.

* "The Russia House" (1990) [Prime]: Was an usher when this came out. AND: Better than I remembered. Artful. Connery ACTS!

* "The UFO Movie THEY Don't Want You To See" (2023) [YouTube]: Despite trappings, actually real physics, thorough debunking.

* "Uglies" (2024) [Netflix]: YA dystopia rebellion is pretty one-dimensional.

<<< Pick of the bunch is "Salem's Lot". >>>
