Directors Cut
We did Blade runner as a English CAT in year 12
One of the questions was is Deckhard a replicant?
The Abyss (1989) has finally been released in HD/4K formats.
Dune 2 (2024) is regarded as the best sci/fi movie in the last 10 years.
The Creator (2023) I haven't seen yet but seems to have fairly positive reviews.
Otherwise, pick & choose from the following...

Yeah same here. I did it in 2006, little bro in 2012 (NSW HSC English). Huxley’s Brave New World and the Blade Runner film were the texts.
In 2006 also recall doing stuff like the poet Gwen Harwood and Shakespeare’s Antony & Cleopatra. Think Sally Morgan’s My Place was also the start of final year (late 2005).

Con Air and True Lies. Perfect turn your brain off action. Great couple of nights not having seen them for years.

Godzilla x Kong… hot trash. The kid liked it though. Just monster fights mixed in with a dumbass story not worth explaining. Such diminishing returns since an ok Godzilla and Skull Island. 2/10

Bladerunner has one of the best endings ever. Great movie. 2049 was surprisingly very good
His catalogue is definitely a mixed bag. When you make as many movies over as many years in as many genres as he has then I guess you're going to have a few misses along the way.
I rate his Black Hawk Down as one of the all time great war movies. Right up there with the likes of Saving Private Ryan.

Speed… kids farkin loved it. So did I. GOAT tier action movie. 9/10.
oppenheimer. good. enjoyed the motif of responsibility running through it - to your wife, country, that friend you ****ed one time, your kids, as a scientist and human being. that vein ran through the movie and meant it didn't become too cerebral or too much of a history lesson.
mixed feelings on the last 45 minutes - tense moments drowned in exposition, and the reference to jfk was silly. matt damon's casting took me out of the movie somewhat.

I dont remember last week so I'm not sure I remember 42 years ago
Loved the source author and I guess I thought the future was going to be so cool with flying cars
As a cop chases bad guys film it was jumpy with more atmosphere than a biodome - it was a weird way to present it - sure things have changed and a nuclear war might dampen ones feelings but how can they afford so many strobe lights. Buy a 40 watter and leave it turned on
I guess it suffers from not knowing what it wanted to be. Cop chase, love story , allegory about memory being the divide between human and AI , or a simple science fiction story about a future path we might have taken
I must have felt similar 40+ years ago because I hadnt thought to rewatch it until it was mentioned here recently
I wont watch 2049

Bill and Ted Face the Music… not as good as the originals but captures the vibe and is in the ballpark. Everyone seems to be having fun. 7/10

Aquaman - the lost kingdom
Fortunately it was on a flight so i didnt pay money to view it in a cinema. Yes you could argue that I paid overs for an airfare given it was school holidays. Anyway, yeah, fortunately for it, there was nothing to do on the flight so i watched from start to end. Just messy, cheesy in parts. Everything was a bit too easy and predictable. The Marvel-DC actor/actress cross pollination continued with Randall Park playing Dr Shin. He was Jimmy Woo in Marvels Wandavision and Antman movies. another similarity was
the delcaration at movies end.
Marvels iron man
And finally Spirit in the sky features in the movie, also appearing in guardians of the galaxy, and DCs own suicide squad

Needed a cheer up this evening so chucked on Ricky Stanicky. It was okay. Some funny ridiculous moments but the random Australian accents were distracting and it wasn’t super hilarious. I did appreciate how much John Cena committed to the bit. 6.5/10

Scoop
Pretty solid Netflix movie about the Prince Andrew train wreck interview. Good performances (in particular Rufus Sewell as randy Andy) but something about it was just very daytime tv. Production value maybe?
Wish
New Disney offering. Really solid tbh. Good songs, interesting premise and some great voice work and talent (Ariana Deboise and Chris Pine in particular). Our 2.5 year old actually tuned in for a lot of it too!

It's been a while since I last watched the quadrilogy. I'll be repeating myself based on the amount of times I've watched the movies and reported as such in this thread. While I reckon throughout the 2000's I'd watch them easily 4+ times a year (love repetition after all lol), in more recent times it's more like once a year or just a bit longer in between viewings.
Even though I watched them a lot, I'd still tune in whenever they'd be on tv after a cricket match (loved summers for that reason lol) - although I smartened up and would switch from the tv broadcast to my own version (less commercials!). Old fact, they used to play the directors cuts of 1 - 3 a lot back in the 90's and 2000's. But in recent years whenever they've been on - it's just been the standard versions. Prefer the Lethal Weapon movies over Die Hard.
I hope they get released in 4K one day
Did the four movies today - haven't done a Lethal Weapon marathon (in a single day) in years!

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning… saw this in cinemas last year but wife hadn’t seen it so chucked it on. Holds up on second viewing as a top tier action movie. Yeah, there’s a few quibbles, the overarching villain is a bit of a maguffin, it’s a bit long, there’s a few scenes of the characters sitting around explaining things. But it moves coherently from set piece to set piece and, most importantly, they’re exciting and fun. 8/10

I done the MI marathon recently, the last 2 films are really good action films.

The Holdovers (2024)
This film is well-meaning, but it's a bit flavorless. It is a highly predictable film replete with characters who, by the end of the film, grow as people. There are well-placed funny moments and some genuinely tender bits. The writing drops a few opportunities worthy of exploration that left me wondering what the point of sitting through meaningless scenes was. And then there are all the numerous b-reels of a young man ice skating or strolling in a museum that has more of a hallmark special than a motion picture. Giamatti gives a good performance and I'm sure his bung eye (CGI) switched sides multiple times. It's not a film I'd watch again. 6/10 (Above Average)
