Bombshell
The film received three well-deserved Academy Award nominations--for Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie (the main fictional/composite character), and for the make-up. The make-up team won the Oscar.

Bloodshot
2020
Enjoy Vin diesel as Riddick but this was truly awful tosh.
Not even gona write about it.
And the jablonsky score was superhero annoying.
How some people on here collect this crud n say its good i can never comprehend. Heard one, heard em all.
Same old thumping noise.
4 out of 10.

Thanks, Bob. I'm so out of it I thought the big O event that would encompass Bombshell was yet to come. I harbored the thought that maybe Theron was getting even with Penn for his stint on Milk.
Edit: I saw Judy, again on DvD. I know Zelwegger bagged UO for that effort. Most of the time, bios don't do anything for me, but Judy made me really wonder what finished Garland off. It seems to me she herself shut off all avenues of survival until there was literally nowhere else to go. No more friends, no more sympathetic shoulders to grab onto, let alone cry into. But above all, the money ran out - the final arbiter of life or death. Okay, now that's over, I really wouldn't want to choose between these two, although there may be a small swing towards one over the other, not that it makes an ounce of difference.

Love Stone killer n love the score.
Also loved that bit where bronson jumps up on the cabinet n boots door open then shoots guy from an angle hes not expecting. I agree its not "great" but 6 is a bit mean mitchy. 7.5 is more like it.

A few bits that didnt add up, sure, but i like the feel of the film and the end sequence where the assassins are hanging in the lift is great, plus the score makes up for anything else

Bram Stoker's Dracula 8/10. I hadn't watched this film in years. So I gave it another go. I remember really liking the film, when I first saw it. It still held my interest. Gary Oldman was superb as Vlad, adding depth to the wretched soul, more than other performances. You almost forget he's a 400 year old murderer and feel sorry for him. Ryder was lovely, Hopkins was a bit cracked but, as always, watchable. Keanu's performance seemed a bit better this time round! Music great no need to say more. It is also a stunning looking film.
Followed by
The Night Stalker 6/10 ( sort of). I was enjoying this but fell asleep towards the end. The whisky had taken hold.

John Wick 2 I was only going to look at the last ten minutes in preparation for viewing the third film, but I ended up looking at the whole thing. I you thought that the first one was violent, well it's downright anemic compared to this one. Lucky for JW, he lives in the same world as Bond & Bourne & The Stath, where trained assassin's who never miss, take aim at the hero...& miss (all the time).
Yeah i watched this again yesterday. There is only so many times you can watch choreographed violence where he grabs one trained guard, pulls him to the floor, holds him in a judo grip and then uses the guy's gun to shoot 2 guys coming through one door and another 2 behind him. Through the head. And wears a suit that stops bullets.
Also the whole concept of a hotel that is sacrosanct protection for crims doesnt really ring true.

Phelps will be pleased with me.
Finally watching Hud (1963) again.
