Films

Just watched Passengers, started very well but went typical American cheesy after an hour which was a shame.
Why oh why can't most US movie makers end a film without layering on the schmaltz.
 
Much as I love comic book movies, I hadn't watched the most recent "Fantastic Four" film since it was universally panned and looked pretty bad.

Watched it last night on Netflix..... it's even worse than I expected!
 
Watched Blue velvet as I hadn't seen it in years, do love abit of David lynch, apart from eraserhead- which I may try and watch again at some point!
 
Alien Covenant. OK but a bit meh. Takes the overarching plot forward but lacks either the scares of Alien or the action of Aliens. Still, if they make another one to fill the gap in the timeline to Alien then I would watch it.

Cannot believe they ditched the Neil Blomkamp Alien project that ditched 3 and 4 and picks up after Aliens with Newt and Hicks still alive. Ideas sounded good, director is great but postponedfor Ridley Scotts vanity project.

Echo that. There were only certain places that it could go after the start - reminded me a little of "Silent Running" early on. But it was enjoyable and I thought the actual ending was quite good.
