    Sense & Sensibility 🤓

    Get it? Because it’s a period piece?

    I’ll see myself out

    The first “War of the world’s” movie from 1953.

    It’s based on a genius, but quite challenging science fiction novel.

    I am sure the people in 1953 liked the movie.

    When you watch it today, after you have already seen Spielberg’s version from 2005, then it feels like they were way ahead of their time in 1953 (and you would never believe anyway that the book was written even back in 1898).

      One of the many little details I love about that movie is Pacific Tech, the university where scientists studied the alien hardware. I noticed they used that as the name of the college in Real Genius. Apparently it’s has been in many movies and tv shows.

    Brick. By Rian Johnson with Joseph-Gordon Levitt and Lukas Haas was very deliberately a throwback to good ol’ hard boiled detective noir.

    I thought it worked quite well. It has an excellent on-foot chase sequence, if nothing else.

    Turbo kid

    A Mad Max-inspired romp through 80s genre film, where souped up cars have been replaced by BMX bikes and our hero fights baddies with the help of a Mega Man-esque arm cannon. A bizarre and hilarious little film that you should definitely see with an audience.

    Came out on Netflix in 2016
