In the Earth 2021
Feels like a spiritual sequel to one or my favourite ever films, A Field In England; and while it is less character-driven, the scenario it contemplates - of man/nature's inability to effectively communicate being our downfall - is compelling enough on its own anyway. Visually and aurally magnificent to boot. Sort of Solaris-meets-Blair Witch kinda. Good film, init. Love it when Wheatley does a dark folk horror.

"And if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump its ass when it hops" 🐸 Party time, excellent, four stars.

First Blood 1982
I kind of thought it would be a mindless action film where Sly goes around killing the bad guys in the jungle with his machine gun and that's about it. Like Predator, I guess, just without the Predator.
I was wrong. It's excellent. I found it very entertaining, and also quite sad. Sure, Rambo is this bad-ass, super elite soldier who can kill a man practically by looking at him, but I never realised there was a subtext quite so…

The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat 1897
Amazing. Thought the train was going to come right out of the screen at me. Loses points for not being in HD.
