It's a minor plot point that the cops suspect Willis' character planted the bomb himself after they find out Willis' wife lied on her statement and was getting fucked by his PI buddy. I have to say my memory is so shit that i can't remember if Bruce was like "Noooo!" before his buddy stepped into the car and got nuked, despite me having watched this just two days ago and a hundred times before. Not at home right now so i can't check out the scene again for clarification.
Split Second (1992) - Synopsis: In the distant future of 2008, a rogue detective (Rutger Hauer) utilizes unconventional methods to capture an animalistic killer on the flooded streets of a post climate change London. Alastair Duncan co-stars as the Oxford educated new partner tasked with reigning in Harley Stone's unconventional ways. Kim Cattral's talents are fully on display as the estranged love interest.
This movie is what I would call mildly entertaining schlock. It does some interesting things but being low budget ($7 million) pretty much everything is half baked. A flooded city makes for a novel setting and there's some interesting character development but it seems like they might have been torn between a couple of ideas, getting stuck in an awkward no man's land. The movie probably would've been better if they'd just fully committed to one idea.
I'm not one of these people who gets a kick out of bad movies, I will quit part way through a movie once I decide enough is enough, so I wouldn't call this bad; it just isn't good either. If you're bored but don't want to have to pay too much attention, maybe on a lazy Sunday afternoon, give this one a try. I think people who rate it highly probably grew up watching it, everyone else will only be slightly entertained, which is no bad thing.
Dummy (2002) starring Milla Jovovich, Adrian Brody, Vera Farniga and Jared Harris
It's a comfy slice-of-life movie about an introverted Jewish guy in his 30s living with his parents and abandoning his job to pursue his childhood dream of ventriloquism. On the way he falls in love with an attractive white single mother and reconciles with his depressed sister.
Brody was really cute in this movie, his body language and speech are exactly what I'd expect from an anxious permavirgin guy (ask me how I know that), which makes it all the more satisfying when he conquers his anxiety and acts like a real man, even if just for a few moments.
This movie is also notable for destroying any and all sissy rumors that Milla Jovovich can't act. Milla plays a hyperactive punk band girl who has to play Jewish music for a wedding. She does her own vocals, in the Yiddish language, and it enhances the movie's climax by that much. She absolutely nails the manic pixie dream girl role, which is extremely commendable for someone who only ever performed in action girl roles.
It's a very in-the-moment movie, you get immersed in the characters' daily lives and their hijinks. Nothing really happens and you don't know if any of the characters are going to be successful in the end, but it ends on a high note and you're left to hope for the best. Every slice-of-life connoisseur should watch this.
There's been a lot of free movies on Youtube lately so I've been checking out some of them.
I've decided to finally give found footage a chance since, aside from like 3 of them, I dislike the genre.
Enter TheBorderlands 2013 (I don't know why the trailer says 2014)
There's a church in the middle of nowhere and according to locals, there be demons there.
Vatican hears about this and sends their people there to investigate.
Then it gets weird.
Like I've said, I don't like the genre but this shit is good. Especially the ending is satisfying in a really disturbing way.
Check it out if you want to see something fresh in the horror genre.
If you're interested, here's the full movie in 720p (perfect resolution for a found footage movie):
I just saw Silent Running, an old, scifi movie, recommended to me, ironically, by the youtube shorts.
While on the surface, this might look like some, seventies hippie-dippy, environmental movie, it gets more interesting, when you realise, that the environmental message can be easyli swapped and it's really a movie about an autistic man, who decides to sacrifice everything for something he truly believes in, despites the indifference and ignorance of his surroundings. Really good movie, pretty short too, 90 mins, so you can finish it in an afternoon.
It was an enjoyable "ohh shit making a wish has horrific consequences horror movie. It has some really funny moments too and the lead actress has an excellent range. Made on a $750-$1,000,000 budget and it's cleared $110 million so far.
The lead actor is essentially "Redditor the Man" or "Nice guy" and his friend is "fleshy frat bro".
Note that the movie is driving feminist viewers into a FRENZY as: Plot summary and spoilers time
A shy redditor/ nice guy (Bear) has a seemingly unrequited crush on his hot music store coworker dream girl (Nikkie). He's felt this way for months/years and his chud coworker friend (Ian) whose been fucking her for years essentially sabotages his attempt to ask her out / tell her his feelings. Meanwhile Bear also works with an art hoe half Asian girl who DOES like him but he's too retarded to see it or act upon it. So he gets a wish granting willow stick and... Wished for "Nikkie to love me more than ANYONE else in the world". Nikkie then comes to his house while acting extremely hot and cold. The next day she comes back and they enter a relationship. Cue a cute relationship montage. His coworkers/friends are put off by this and while on a date Nikkie has a episode and Bear realizes that the wish is real. Nikkie begins to be more and more unhinged, violent, and jealous. Bear attempts to alter / cancel the wish and learns that it's for LIFE or if someone wishes to unmake his wish. He meet with the art hoe Sarah and learns that Ian and Nikkie were together all the time he's been pining over her and Sarah had strong feelings for Bear. If course Nikkie appears and murders Sarah. Bear then grows a pair and gets a few more wishing Willows and tries to cancel his wish. Ian, being chud frat bro, wished for a Billion dollars and literally gets a billion dollars flooded into his house. Bear returns to his house and sees Nikkie has stripped Sarah's body and scalped her to wear her hair and copied her tattoos while raging and screaming. Ian arrives and is promptly murdered by Nikkie. Bear attempts suicide and chugs a bottle of Oxycodone and right as he's about to puke then back up... Nikkie wishes for him to love her as much as she loves him. He then dances with Nikkie for a bit before he ODs and dies. Nikkie almost kills herself then the his wish is broken and she snaps back to normal as s begins screaming.
So women are saying that the main male character is an incel chud rapist and the men are saying that this movies is a BPD hoe / Latina dating simulator / documentary. LMAO indeed.
I give it a solid 7.5/10 for normies or an 8/10 if you're a horror fan. Oh and the soundtrack is excellent.
Sigh.... Alien Earth had 6 very good episodes (even with the lore getting shit all over (yes there IS Alien lore)) but built shiiiiittt it went to straight GARBAGE the last 2 episodes.
Just watched The Hidden (1987), a sci-fi/action buddy-cop flick starring Kyle Maclachlan alongside a ton of recognizable character actors. It's like a mix of The Thing, They Live, and Lethal Weapon by way of an X-Files episode. It's really wickedly entertaining, lots of funny scenes and quotable dialogue.
It's worth noting that the MIB film franchise rips off pretty much everything from this movie, it's really astounding they got away with it, because it's so blatant and also handled a lot better here.
Another fun one from a few years later is "I come in Peace" aka "Dark Angel" about a Houston cop played by a decidedly non Texan Dolph Lundgren fighting an alien killer/drug dealer.
The Naked Gun (2025).
So much better than I expected, it had me laughing from the start. One of those rare modern reboots that lives up to is predecessor. Not all the jokes land, but even then there’s probably another one coming along in a few seconds that will.
If you’re like me and skipped it because the trailer looked awful and it’s a modern movie I would very much recommend it, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Probably the best depiction of a sex addiction ever put to screen. Michael Fassbender can act and the scene where
he cannot physically have sex with his date because she's not a prostitute
is so uncomfortable to watch.
Oh and another movie reqs.
28 Years later The Bone Temple was excellent. It starts up about an hour after 28 Years Later let off. The character of Jimmy and his demonic little gang are so fucking AWFUL seeing them get their comeuppance was so cathartic.
Ralph Fiennes was excellent as was Jack O'Connell.
It's pretty rough around the edges, probably the most unpolished Tony Scott vehicle, and i have no idea how one of the Wayans brothers got casted as the male supporting actor but i love it, pure 90s R-rated goodness. Willis carries this movie like a motherfucker, the dialogue is pre-Wheedon quippy in all the best ways and Bruce delivers all his lines in a high-key hilarious manner, in virtually every scene. Pacing is all over the place as well but again, i love this film, extremely entertaining all around. Can only recommend.
I absolutely love this movie. It's a Top Three Bruce Willis flick for me, and even Damon Wayans was pretty good in it.
The movie revolving around sports betting seems rather quaint nowadays, but it's still probably Shane Black's best writing work.
I HIGHLY recommend this one for those out there who haven't seen it yet.
I've watched a million movies and i am stuck on coming up with one that doesn't have either the inner city or the racism part for about 10 minutes by now. Ballast, a great indie film from 2008 that nobody watched and which has (IIRC) an all black cast and is neither concerned with racism nor plays in the inner city (it's a family drama set in bumfuck nowhere in the South) was my pick but i just checked and the director is white. Damn. Can't come up with shit. I like a lot of films from black directors (the Hughes brothers films or Antoine Fuqua's works for example) but i am completely stumped.
I just found an answer, Tim Story directed the first two Fantastic Four movies and didn't set them in the hood or make them about racism, he just made two normal movies that respected the comics they were based on.
Pippin: I didn't think it would end this way. Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. Pippin: What? Gandalf? See what? Gandalf: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise. Pippin: Well, that isn't so bad. Gandalf: No. No, it isn't.
I saw the movies again when my theater reshowed the directors cuts almost a year ago week by week. It was really fun. Everything in them has aged really well outside of those bad cgi beasts the Orcs ride on in the second one. I just love almost everything about them and they work together as one piece.
You're right, he isn't a clone: his dad Warren's sperm was essentially hijacked/implanted with Bruce's genetic material. There's still Terry's Mother in Terry, and (big) maybe some Legal Father Warren, but a significant chunk of it is Bio-Dad Bruce. Same applies to Matt, the annoying little brother, too. It's vaguely implied, what with him also having the same shade of black hair Terry and Bruce have.

I hate the whole idea of that, the point of Terry was he was Batman because he was a good person and chose to be.
That stupid garbage strips that away and makes Terry nothing but a robot with no say in the matter and he only does good things because of his DNA, not because he chooses to do them.
I just saw Backrooms (2026), it was weirdly strangely good?
I like the exploration aspect to it. I thought it was going to end with it implied to be man made but it didn't exactly do that and was better for it.
My main takeaway to the moral of the story is that niggers can never be trusted, niggers can never be approached, and niggers can never be fixed.
Like really, the film felt almost unintentionally like an anti-black film towards the end. It felt like it was trying to say those things in the crazy room therapy scene but couldn't outright say that.
I also like how the film uses the audio from the Voyager probe Golden Record
I thought it was enjoyable but not good, especially the second half. The first part correctly leaned on exploration but it became derivative as a horror-is-trauma. I think the movie should have focused more on the Async company, either using Async's surveillance or troopers, with an everyman as the POV character. It would have been a good balance between unknown and having a reason to show diverse elements of the backrooms.

It's only strangely good if you only focus on if it's trying to be racist. I agree the film would have been a lot better if it was more like The Blair Witch Project or The Cube where exploring this place become the main focal point instead of dumb played out metaphor for mental illnesses shit.
The Buroughs on Netflix. It’s about a retirement town that a monster is feeding on the retirees. It has Alfred Molina, Gina Davis, and Denis O’hare. It feels like if Spielberg directed an episode of Twilight zone.
