The Night Comes for Us
Not much to say here, it's really just a series of insanely violent action sequences. I maybe could've done with just a little more story and ten - or twenty - fewer minutes of bloodletting, but it's a pretty wild ride.
Remake so shit its terrible
I saw this once many years ago and even then I think I caught it part way through. Mrs Haych has been wanting to watch it again too so we put it on while we had our dinner last night.

I'm keen to see the Midway film, I was watching a Midway episode of Great Events of WW2 in colour on Netflix last night.
We watched 21 Bridges last night, it's free on Prime at the moment. Really enjoyable old school New York cop thriller. Chadwick Boseman is excellent and has a bit of Denzil Washington's presence.

The Babysitter
A Netflix Original comedy horror about a kid who discovers his babysitter and her friends are (sort of) devil worshippers. It's directed by McG, so many of the jokes and "scares" miss their mark but I actually enjoyed it. And it's got Samara Weaving in it. I love Samara Weaving.
Nic Cage flies a plane. A bunch of people disappear. Everything that can go wrong does go wrong.

The only bit I don't really like is that in the airfield attack sequence there are a few shots that are clearly used more than once, filmed from different angles - it interrupts the realism slightly when you spot it.
I'm also fairly sure that Roland Emmerich nicked the way the Japanese planes seem to swarm over the airfield for the alien attack in Independence Day... it's almost identical.

Thriller based on a James Patterson novel and made way back in 1997.
Ashley Judd plays the intelligent and attractive doctor who escapes the clutches of the bad guy and assists the cops in catching him.
A bit heavy and dark and I seem to have watched quite a few films of the same ilk recently. Along with the Chris Carter novel I’m reading at the moment it’s giving me some seriously twisted dreams at night.

Still one of the best action films ever made IMHO. Must have seen it over a dozen times and it’s still a goodun.
It’s been a while since I saw the original so trying to compare the two films is difficult. I also didn’t realise until the end that it was made as a prequel to the original.
Another film I must have seen a dozen times or more. I actually bought this on iTunes when it first came out.

I can't remember if there is another thread for this but has anyone been watching the wealth of music documentaries of Prime?
I watched Patty Shemel's Hit So Hard which was really good, especially when she starts slagging off "Joe One-Take". There are some really lovely scenes at Kurt and Courtney's house of Kurt goofing around with Frances Bean.
The L7 film is pretty entertaining as well. Their music kind of passed me by as a brit pop kid in the 90s but they were a great band who clearly didn't take themselves too seriously.
My other choice would be "In order of disappearance " , the original Norwegian version of what was remade as Cold Pursuit (with Liam Neeson) by the same director. The original has plenty of understated dark Scandinavian humour to offset against the bloody revenge plot. The US version lost everything in translation that made the original good.
