"Having only seen this in its truncated TV cut for many years then its wrong-ratio'd clip-case Warner Bros release, I developed a newfound respect for this watching it finally in its 'proper' version, fully restored and remastered." boxd.it/dnzvvF

"When this thing is locked in on the furious rage of Byrne, fighting her fight, it's an utter low-key peach of a movie." boxd.it/dnvVkZ

"The tone between the violence and the comedy frequently doesn't gel and the mid-section is laborious and repetitive, taking what would be a bullet-fast 90 minute flick into a near 2 hour endeavour..." boxd.it/dmNphB

"They sold this out for advertising. They were powerless against the tsunami of parodying and spoofery it has taken across multiple avenues of popular culture. And they bastardised it with CGI 'corrections' (then regretted it). And it withstood it all." boxd.it/dlKb0V

Uber Eats: "Your order will be delivered at 1820... Your order will be delivered at 1945... Your order will be delivered at 2020... Your driver Trev says 'Go fuck yourself! I'm off to the boozer - Make yourselves a sandwich, you fat twat!' Update: We'll refund your undelivered order in 6 months!"

Jus' sayin'...

"If THIS is 'loosely' then the biopic version would be the greatest invasion of privacy ever committed." boxd.it/dkPqYx

It "kicks serious levels of arse even to this day because it pulps together the sci-fi genre and the western as mere backdrop for a legitimately great survivalist action adventure." boxd.it/dkP9kZ

"If you look to the nadir of the mid to late 90s quagmire of Tarantino 'wannabes' you'd probably find this tucked away there." boxd.it/dkP3Nh

"It's good to revisit this every now and again to remind you that as a writer-director, more so than a screenwriter for hire, David Mamet had a real fuckin •fire• to him that - for a time at least - few could equal." boxd.it/dkarv5

"Given the economical running time and the very nature of its position as a definitive 'race against time' plot, not having this work at head-spinning speed feels like a failure." boxd.it/dk9p4p

"This is no classic of the form akin to FRIGHT NIGHT, LOST BOYS or THE MONSTER SQUAD but it clearly has a great deal of love for those movies and its affection is notable." boxd.it/dk8NPx

"... The wait for the turn has got to be worth the turn and the turn itself has got to be worth the wait, you know?" boxd.it/dk8qvp

"It exists now as just another example of the low standard slop D'Wayne Johnson would grift upon the world just to give himself a bullshit Instagram caption about what nonsense 'records' (of his own creation) this had broke." boxd.it/dk7QiT

"It's loud and kinetic to try to sell you on the idea you're getting your worth because lots of things are happening. But just because there's always something blowing up or someone getting hacked and stabbed, it doesn't make it good." boxd.it/dk6Yph

"It's all very hacky, lower-tier stuff. Her children deserved better, both in life and from this documentary." boxd.it/dfKVel

"I was obviously going to love this because HandMade Films were the 'delivery outlet' for the pure filmic crack cocaine I was ingesting at the exact moment I developed as a film fan in my early teens." boxd.it/dfIvdn

"... What's wonderful though is that Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller and Callum Turner play it all like they're in a 1940s screwballer. It's a flawed gem, for sure. But it's still a bit of a delight." boxd.it/dfHzTl

"It says a lot about this franchise that this is still the second best entry." boxd.it/dfGWBd

"It all amounts to a bombardment of shameless Wynn Macau promotion, Chan's thinning hair and bad 'back piece' flopping in the wind, interminable waffle about cryptocurrency and frustration at how much better this could've been with a tighter focus." boxd.it/dfFClR

"If a lot of people spent less time trying to dismiss this film nowadays or mug it off because of its vastly inferior sequel they'd be able to see that it still holds up brilliantly." boxd.it/ddWNID

"... It's easier to believe it all as one big 'death dream' coming to Sanka after his derby crash at the start of the film then as a true story..." boxd.it/ddWyJV

"It works on absolutely every level it touches upon, even when such things should not be normally placed in close proximity to one another; a satirical, sexual identity farce with an extremely lovely romance running through its central core?" boxd.it/ddWnnT

Hulu's #GirlOnTheRun

It's "... a marriage of 80s romantic fable with Preston Sturges esque high concept screwball comedy of yesteryear, marinated in incredibly questionable shit we're asked to just, you know, not think about." boxd.it/ddMzI5

Emily Maitlis sticks the landing on the Andrew interview, kickstarts the freefall for him, gets a book deal and an Amazon Prime drama out of it, has given scores of interviews about her 'success'... then expresses concern about the guy's mental health once the po-po arrives?

"I only watched this to see Claire get eaten because she released dinosaurs into the world - which was just crazy, by the way. And she didn't even get eaten. And I don't understand anything about the flying insects." - My youngest. boxd.it/ddEg1l

I've long found this entire thing to be excruciatingly embarrassing and a magnet for good folk to roll in and do bad panto. Now there's a 'movie'? And Rebecca Ferguson is in it - just to let you know that it's got the special veneer of baaad to it! youtu.be/_o5IHr-8u34?...

"As justice secretary - and as the prime minister has said - nobody in this country is above the law. Nobody. Without exception. Except Nigel Farage. And Boris Johnson. They're exceptions. Coz the Russians own them. And you don't fuck with the Russians." - David Lammy

Gordon Brown: "I have submitted a memorandum to the Metropolitan, Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley and other UK police constabularies, expressing my concern that we secure justice for trafficked girls and women." Tony Blair: "Is there any money in that? If so, can I get in on it?"

It was the right and only proper way to spend three days sick:

In Memory of Robert Duvall: "It all plays out as the sort of quiet, considered, decidedly old-fashioned (even for 1989) exhale that's impossible to not fall into." boxd.it/dcRrbj

In Memory of Robert Duvall: "It's watchable bunkum overall, and that final propeller splatter is a chef's kiss of vintage low-tier practical effect work at its best, but it's wrong-footed from the get-go..." boxd.it/dcO9hn

"... The fragmented state of British politics means it is still just about conceivable that Labour will win the next election. For that, though, four things need to happen. First, Starmer has to go..." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In Memory of Robert Duvall: "It is all very watchable but the end result is something that sits a few drops down from THE SEVEN-UPS and a considerable distance away from THE FRENCH CONNECTION." boxd.it/dcp2b3

In Memory of Robert Duvall: "It evokes a great 70s era of police procedural, the performances are terrific and it has a fascinating, assured and visceral car chase that's really something to shout about. And then two-thirds in, it just goes fuckin DAFT." boxd.it/dcosjZ

I never would've predicted James Van Der Beek's posthumous gift to the world would've been a remake of JUDGMENT NIGHT by way of THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES: youtu.be/IxrCYOcDIM8?...

In Memory of Robert Duvall: "Robert Duvall's best performances weren't always in his best films, if that makes sense? So you'd sit through some ★★★½ bit of disposable fare coz he was going to gift you a ★★★★★ display within it." boxd.it/dbTBNn

In Memory of Robert Duvall: "This is one of the all time great westerns because it works against the theory that the western died due to there being no stories left to tell." boxd.it/dbSIEP

In Memory of Robert Duvall: "This is a great movie - more an effective studio potboiler than a social commentary of any real value, being as broad as it is with its stereotyping and black-and-white simplistic overview." boxd.it/dbT0Dv

In Memory of Robert Duvall: "... Duvall once confirmed that Caan hates the film but he thinks this is because he acted like it was a drama and Duvall a comedy and he thinks Caan called it wrong. Duvall is sorta right." boxd.it/dbSzd1

Growing up I thought Tom Noonan was the coolest, scariest motherfucker on the planet. That's the weight you carry when you deliver ~that~ Francis Dollarhyde performance in MANHUNTER alongside all the shit young teenage me dug like THE MONSTER SQUAD, ROBOCOP 2 WOLFEN, F/X, and LAST ACTION HERO.

"When I knew nothing, I thought I could do anything... You never know how reality is going to coincide with your dreams. You're optimistic, and you go from there." - Robert Duvall.

My youngest thought the opening of this was "amazing", settled in with a huge grin on his face and very quickly got bored, angry and eventually just completely checked out. boxd.it/dasatd

"They went ahead and opened the park? And millions of people went? Even after someone got eaten on a toilet in the first one? This is stupid!" - My youngest child. boxd.it/darPFx
