I just finished watching Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927). I definitely enjoyed one of the main themes throughout this silent movie which went as follows: "the mediator between brain and hands must be the heart."

I just watched Death and The Maiden (1994). I thought Ben Kingsley's portrayal of Miranda was quite powerful and well-acted. Sigourney Weaver was also pretty awesome too.
I just went to watch "it comes at night"
I took someone out with me to go watch this and it's lucky I'm in her good books and she forgave me for picking this horrible film to go watch. I don't think it's possible to spoil the film so there's not much point in a spoiler alert. Nothing more is revealed within the film than you see on the trailer for the film. You don't find out what's causing this weird apocalypse type scenario, or what it is or anything. None of the characters are explained. Nothing is explained, it's just some odd stuff happens, some mild violence, the end. Maybe there's a cryptic message I missed or something. The plus side is I saw two AMAZING trailers for films I'm going to watch no matter what. There's annabelle the creation and IT. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason. 
Yesterday I watched Guardians of the Galaxy 2 for the third time. In the $3 theater. It was great. That movie never gets old.

Gunless.
Has one of the most inept and best gunfights I've seen in a Western. 8/10 Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"

I definitely enjoyed one of the main themes throughout this silent movie which went as follows: "the mediator between brain and hands must be the heart." As a conisseur of Weimar cinema, I have to say I think Fritz (or maybe his wife/co-writer Thea von Harbou) got it backwards: the mediator between the heart and hands must be the brain. I suspect a lot more damage has been done (particularly in the past few years) because people act purely on emotion than purely on logic. Just look at Trump or Anti-vaxxers. Also, the last one I saw was Trainspotting 2. In my civilian life, I write for an Anglophile blog. I actually reviewed the original Trainspotting in the hopes that I'd end up reviewing the sequel soon. However, for no adequately explained reason, the release date came and went with no showings in Chicago. Eventually, there'd be a single theatre showing it, but it was on the more Chi-Raq areas of town, so I waited for a wider release. That came on Easter Weekend, and I wound up missing it because Tristar decided it would be a good idea to give the Certified Fresh sequel to one of the most iconic films of the 1990s a shorter theatrical release than the Jem and the Holograms movie. And now, I finally got a copy at the Library. It did not disappoint. It's not perfect, especially with the convolutions of the plot, but they really do an excellent job of fleshing out the four lads who remain.

Toni Erdmann (2016) a really good movie.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
I watched Stand and Deliver (1988).

Went to watch Annabelle.
Probably give it about a 7 out 10 It was extremely good at delivering scares on a primitive level. The downside is that it felt at some stages like trying to cram every horror cliche into one film, little kids, dolls, rocking chair, so on and so on. This is my fucking year for films though. There's the new IT film, a new saw film, a new film about a girl who dies everyday that also looks good. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame.
