  Side Out 1990

  ★★★½ Rewatched by Paxton Holley 29 Jun 2022

  Saw this movie on cable back in the 90s a bunch of times.  Just did a rewatch for the first time in years.

  This is still a great movie.  It’s sort of a Karate Kid movie mixed with something like White Men Can’t Jump.  C Thomas Howell is a law student that comes to LA to work at his uncle’s law firm and gets caught up in the world of competitive beach volleyball.  Peter Horton plays washed up former champion…

  No Time to Die 2021

  ★★ Watched by Paxton Holley 27 Jun 2022

  Gravity 2013

  ★★★★ Watched by Paxton Holley 28 Jan 2022

  Finally getting around to watching this. Nine years later. 

  This was excellent. Filled with tension, and an ever escalating series of dangers. The sfx look amazing. Sandra Bullock is awesome. And Clooney is his usual likable self. 

  I loved this, but I may not watch it again because I’m not sure my heart could take it.

  The Hound of the Baskervilles 1959

  ★★★½ Watched by Paxton Holley 25 Oct 2021

  Adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes novel by Hammer Studios. With Peter Cushing as Holmes and Christopher Lee as Henry Baskerville. 

  Really good Holmes movie. Very Hammer. Cushing is great as usual. This should have become a series of Hammer movies.
