What did you watch this week lads? (09/06-09/12)

We’re all here? Splendid, let’s proceed. This week I watched:

Spectre (2015 DVD): This movie was ahead of its time; James Bond gets nano technology micro chips injected in the veins in order to be tracked (smart blood). AKA Bond got the COVID-19 vaccin!! 🤣That being said, this is a drop for Mendes and last week I mentioned Skyfall’s flaws and illogical moments; well this one takes the cake. I dig that James must always get the girl and erase all threats but there is only so much nonsense one can take. A person expecting realism would suffer from the “spun eye balls stuck in the socket” disease. 🙄🙄😵 Also, I did not really care for the daughter/lover part. Still, there is some decent action, many fun Bond references and the main story was alright with Waltz as the cool but very bad brother. My rating: 5.5/10

Bride of Chucky (1998 DVD): The first hour is alright. Not as fun and clever as the first three entries but entertaining enough on all sides. It’s the last 20 minutes that were really bad. Except maybe the last scene (birth). I did not enjoy Chucky’s one liners as much as I used to and he really looks stupid with a gun. I mean, a killer doll with a gun, c’mon, that’s just dumb. My rating: 5.5/10

Threads (1984 Tubi): Another precursor movie of what was to come, in some ways. About
30 minutes in I hear “essential services only” and “stay home” so I was like 🤦‍♂️. Lots of blaring sounds, loud noises and dark images. I see what they went for here and I think they succeeded nicely. In the second half I struggled with keeping up with who was who and if I had seen that character before but I don’t think that was really necessary to appreciate the desolation and madness. My rating: 7/10
