#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Not exactly a banner week in terms of quality or quantity…

Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) Review Animation unleashes the Predator's full potential. thecraggus.com/?p=49372

I always enjoyed John Gardner’s Bond novels.

Join our blogathon ... with me and @barrycinematic.bsky.social and a wee (lovely) plug from @glitterninja.bsky.social Its posts from me, Dubsism, @paulbatters.bsky.social, @film-authority.bsky.social, @synthcinema.bsky.social and @thecraggus.bsky.social weegiemidget.wordpress.com/2025/11/07/n...

Starfleet employee evaluations are lit.🔥

The Witches (1966) Review Even the stiffest upper lip can’t hide a trembling psyche. thecraggus.com/?p=49349

I am so, so happy to be wrong! Hahahahhahahahahahaha! #theCelebrityTraitors

Hahahaha Cosplay Zangief isn’t going to win #TheCelebrityTraitors.

Prey (2022) Review The Predator franchise gets back to basics. thecraggus.com/?p=49371

🤞

Chris Columbus “returning” to direct? Is Joe Dante returning to write?

Cc @thespoilist.bsky.social

I haven't seen the Canadian upload of #TheCelebrityTraitors final but my prediction is as follows: Allan will get banished 3-2 or 4-1 Cat will get banished next 3-1 Joe and Nick will then vote to banish again and David will get the boot. Joe and Nick win.

What the fuck? I *only* want to see the posts which are rude or impolite, include crude language and disrespectful comments. Where’s the setting for that?

“Always the real thing” indeed.

Looks like Section 31’s back on the menu, boys. 😒

Predators (2010) Review The hunters order in. The first thing you see is the sky rushing up at you. thecraggus.com/?p=49370

This should be the pull quote on any Elon Musk biography.

Good.

Yikes. Invoking Scream 5, the worst Scream film, isn’t exactly ringing endorsement. Fraser and Weisz deserve better.

Okay the #GreatBritishBakeOff finale ended with its most predictable final ever, now over to #TheCelebrityTraitors to do exactly the same…

@letterboxd.social’s cutesy little flourish when you try to log #Bugonia is exactly the kind of unnecessary web app bullshit that will kill the platform.

Predator 2 (1990) Review The Predator gets hot in the city. thecraggus.com/?p=49329

Jeremy Strong is a great choice to play Mark Zuckerberg in the upcoming Social Network sequel. Jesse Eisenberg has an element of likability whereas Strong doesn’t have a likeable bone in his body and is thus perfect to portray the Platonic ideal of loathsome, Mark Zuckerberg.

Me looking at your posts.

Predator (1987) Review This movie is a goddamn cinematic Tyrannosaurus. thecraggus.com/?p=49347

The Thursday Murder Club (2025) Review Murder most milquetoast. The Thursday Murder Club has a gentle sort of ambition, the kind that prefers a warm cup of tea to a stiff drink. thecraggus.com/2025/11/02/t...

As Frank Carson used to say “It’s the way you tell ‘em”

OpenAI preparing for an IPO in 2027 gives you a good sense of when the people inflating it think the bubble will burst.

And I got blocked. 🤣

This is like a Matryoshka doll of techbros’ poor media literacy. It’s becoming their defining characteristic.

Funnily enough this works the other way around too.

Just finished watching Netflix's #AHouseOfDynamite. I kind of respect that screenwriter Noah Oppenheim didn't know how to end it so he just didn't bother. That's probably why his surname isn't Oppenheimer.

When I set out to do a Halloween #StephenKing retrospective, I was thinking it would be a fun little 31-review run, a post a day. Anyway, 57 posts later, here it is, October's #HailToTheKing omnibus, the Maine event as it were. Enjoy! thecraggus.com/collections/...

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched on Halloween.

The Institute (2025) Review The Kids Aren't Alright. thecraggus.com/?p=49304

Mr Harrigan's Phone (2019) Review Mr Harrigan's Phone brings a new meaning to "the line's gone dead". The horror in Mr Harrigan’s Phone is horror on silent mode. thecraggus.com/?p=49303

#LetterboxdFriday Doing a double drop today as I’ll be piling on the horror movies for Halloween so here’s my pre-31st October #LastFourWatched, only one of which was actually terrifying (it was Donkey Skin) 🤪

I can’t quite put my finger on it but over the last two episodes of #TheCelebrityTraitors, my enthusiasm and interest has plummeted to zero. Loved the first six episodes but since then…

The Stand (2020) Review Imagine releasing a miniseries about a global pandemic during an actual global pandemic. thecraggus.com/?p=49302

Doctor Sleep (2019) Review Flanagan has a shining all of his own. There was never going to be a way to adapt Doctor Sleep without angering somebody. thecraggus.com/?p=49301

In The Tall Grass (2019) Review The fear of being lost is surprisingly evergreen In The Tall Grass. thecraggus.com/?p=49284

Two posts, two headline typos. Can I go for a hat trick?

Cell (2016) Review Cell's attempts to bring The Pulse to the big screen flatlines. thecraggus.com/?p=49285

Given how poorly the extra money was used and how Kardashian focussed the streamer’s becoming, #DoctorWho parting ways with Disney+ is pretty much unalloyed good news. It’s always been at its best as a scrappy underfunded BBC production.

11.22.63 (2016) Review J J Abramds adapts Stephen King's novel explaining why Doctor Who's first episode was delayed. thecraggus.com/?p=49268

There’s money in them there rubes. This isn’t in any meaningful way about Jesus. This is about the cash in performatively Christian pockets.

A Good Marriage (2014) Review Til deaths do us part. Alfred Hitchcock could have presented this. Roald Dahl would have considered this a Tale Of The Unexpected. thecraggus.com/?p=49272

Under The Dome (2013-2015) Review The Simpsons did it already. thecraggus.com/?p=49254
