I've been watching The Philadelphia Experiment from 1984 and it's lesser-known sequel from 1993. Both pretty decent sci-fi flicks. I would really love to see a company like Synapse or Arrow Video pick these up so I can have a proper HD experience with them. They're not really in print anymore and I had to buy them on used DVDs. Also watched Stargate last night, and it's still one of my favorite Roland Emmerich movies.

I watched The Cure. A serial killer's weird method/mystery. Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Very good. Atomic Blonde. I love this movie because it's tight and Charlize Theron convinces me that she can kick butt. James McAvoy is his usual high level acting self. I also watched Limbo. Directed by Soi Cheang Another outstanding murder mystery. I was amazed at how the actors just threw their bodies into the stunts. I mean I was aghast! Like the Raid movies. I also watched Heretic. I especially liked it because I AM a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The only thing I felt was off kilter was the dialogue the Sisters were having at the beginning of the movie.I would say that Sophie Thatcher's portrayal was pretty close to the average missionary, but that's because she was a member. I thought that the debates were very good. Also watched Nosferatu. The usual outstanding quality that Robert Eggers brings to his films was there in spades. Bill Skarsgard was outstanding. The sound design was superb. Watched Audition for the 3rd time. I simply love that movie. It's so unique and hair-raising. Popped in Blackhawk down because of the upgrade of adding Dolby Vision to the 4K was better than advertised. Probably the best sound design of them all. On a par with The Edge of Tomorrow (which I watched as well). I think it's my favorite movie right now. It vacillates between that and The Dark Knight. I have watched those two films so many times that I have lost count. Tom Cruise and Emily blunt are magic together. So many moments in Edge of Tomorrow. Like when Tom Cruise tries rolling under that truck and gets squashed. The Sergeant's reaction is so priceless. Also, Strange Darling. Props for bring something new to the serial killer genre. It had me guessing.

Having just got the collectors edition of Cronenbergs 'Scanners,' I will be investing in the collectors edition of 'The Brood' after your comments above.

I just received the Brood Second Sight limited Boxed edition. Second Sight is second to none when it comes to the limited editions. And The Brood is right there. I hadn't seen the movie before, but I blind buy all the time. I wasn't thrilled with the movie (Just my take Jeff). The premise (or the explanation of the conflict), let's just say, I didn't really get.

I watched the new live-action snow white and thought it was pretty good. The controversy shouldn't hold people back, as I thought it was a fun movie. I also rewatchted the muppets (2011) which I hadn't seen in years and still very much love. Anora was also pretty good as well and it was fun seeing it in theaters with an audience as it made it a very fun experience
