  Resident Evil 2002

  ★★★½ Watched by Chris 29 Jun 2022

  Action horror thriller. Zombie dogs, laser scene, and the red dress stayed with me. The sets are suitably claustrophobic. I don't know how compares to the video game? Big corporation commentary has aged well, just think about the dominance of Amazon, Apple, etc.

  Tommy Boy 1995

  ★★★★ Watched by Chris 25 Jun 2022 6

  Sure, there are questionable aspects such as condoning a hostage situation and also the main character Tommy miraculously improving his skills as a salesman. But these are minor gripes. An entertaining road movie, equally as funny and charming as buddy comedy Dumb and Dumber (1994) from the same era. Underrated.

  Sci-fi action mystery-thriller. I remember when I saw the movie back in 2002 at the cinema a person sitting behind me commented out loud “Spielberg?” during the end credits. I can see where he was coming from as it’s darker than Spielberg’s typically sentimental approach, and could have been directed by another filmmaker.

  A Hitchcockian ‘man on the run’ story set in the year 2054, loosely based on the 1956 short story "The Minority Report" by Philip…

  Miracle on 34th Street 1947

  ★★★★ Watched by Chris 16 Dec 2020 13

  Has a surprising amount of depth for a Christmas themed movie. I like the openness towards alternative thinking, we need more of that in our rigid job market.

  Edmund Gwenn's oscar-winning performance as Kris Kringle oozes with charm, I even accepted that he lost his temper at one point which showed his human side.

  I haven't seen the 1994 remake starring Richard Attenborough.
