"Hahah, revolutio- no wait French peasants and working class, what are you doing? Don't you think this might be a bit too extreme? Hey hey put that guillotine awa- oh god Maximillian Robespierre is trying to introduce his new religion to France"What happens there stays there.
Excellent film.Watched Hostiles starring Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike and Wes Studi with a small supporting role for Timothee Chalemet. Set in 1892 it's the story of a legendary Army captain who reluctantly agrees to escort a dying Cheyenne war chief and his family back to tribal lands. Very beautifully filmed and the acting is spectacular. It's not like any western I've ever seen before, with an emphasis on the personal changes that many of the characters go through on this journey. Bale is wonderful here.

I liked the first part better.Love the Sicario movies. Both 1 and 2, very good movies.
Uncut Gems (2019): Wow, an actually good Adam Sandler movie. He certainly proves he's a great actor when he isn't doing half-assed comedies. Great movie, it was constantly hectic and a little hard to get into at first, but it really pays off. The last 30 minutes legitimately made me tense, not something that often happens when I watch movies, probably because I went into this almost blind. The main character is a stupid *******, but the movie does a good job at making you root for him in the end. Unfortunately my internet kinda gave up halfway through so the resolution got mutilated and I had to watch a vaguely pixelated version of the movie, not bad enough to where I couldn't tell what was going on, but enough to be annoying. I'd really recommend it if you don't mind an overabundance of yelling, cursing, and slurs.
Aliens (1986): James Cameron directs the more action-oriented adaptation to the 1979 horror classic. Although I didn't think it was as good as the original, it was still really good. The cast was pretty good and worked well together, and it had pretty good child acting. The Xenomorph Queen is an awesome feat of practical effect, and I like how she closes the gap on how the facehuggers are created in order to reproduce the Xenomorphs. Pretty good sci-fi action/horror.
Critters (1986): It was okay, I didn't expect much from it, but at the very least it was entertaining. Another 80s movie where cute, fuzzy monsters unleash havoc on a small town and kill people, as a result of the Gremlins craze (although, if I remember correctly, the crew behind this one insisted the script existed before Gremlins). The critter effects weren't bad, and they did have that perfect blend between cute and evil that they were probably achieving for. Some of the humor was decent, I liked the little subtitle conversations the critters had with each other while tearing up the house. I also thought the effect at the end where the house restores itself was kinda cool. As for criticisms, the bounty hunter plot was stupid and just felt like a plot device, and it just seemed to waste time more than anything, and they played that one original song on the soundtrack way too much. It also took way too long for the critters to start their rampage, which is bad when the movie is only 1 hour and 26 minutes long. Overall, not as bad as it could've been, and managed to be the fun little monster horror movie it probably aimed to be.

They got John Hurt to do the spoof of the chestburster scene in Spaceballs.I'm with you on Aliens and Alien. I like Aliens but Alien is the superior movie. I saw Alien in the theater when it was released. The first time seeing the alien coming out of John Hurt was one of the most memorable in theater experiences I've had. I saw it on opening night, so I hadn't heard anything about it yet.

What do you think hurt Hurt the most? the Chestburster, 1984 Rat Torture Mask, or playing a severely deformed sideshow performer?
