After watching Rosemary’s Baby and REC, I decided to continue with a loose theme of apartment blocks/shared spaces, with help from the horror thread. Will do a proper roundup and thanks in there once I’ve watched more but Dark Water was surprisingly affecting, so thanks for that suggestion!
MMOTM: Jenna Coleman turning up to save Klokkenluider with her best Malcolm Tucker impression.

Watched on land
Watched in the sky
MMOTM: Maybe the second half of Travolta and Me
Worst was The Idea of You which wasn’t awful or anything but Michael Showlater must miss being weird/funny?
Watched and rewatched some absolutely wonderful films in July including some of my very favourites of all time on the big screen. Also went to see Minions & Monsters.
My MMotM was, as ever, the montage at the end of Babylon which is potentially the high-point of all cinema

Very good film that
Looks like I’m going to watch Blue Heron tonight, given its 100% 5 star rating so far.

What a picture!
My grandfather-in-law produced Spring in a Small Town! Definitely worth checking out any of the other Wenhua films you can find if you liked that one. Such great simple stories.

Watched very little in the way of films last month, but I did catch a screening of Nostalghia as part of a Tarkovsky retrospective the other day.

Watching The Vampire’s Kiss, and I think it’s by some distance the worst film I’ve ever seen

Giant - thought this was a by the numbers sports flick which wouldn’t look out of place as an ITV exclusive made for TV thing. Brosnan does his best, but the different actors playing Naseem are genuinely atrocious. So weirdly constructed too. Baffling film. 3 out of 10
I really enjoyed The Dink
