**Phantasm** Recommended. Iā€™m still not convinced this movie makes an real sense. Iā€™ve seen it twice. But it is pretty creepy and well done and one of the more interesting and genuine attempts at a proper scary movie from the late 70s and early 80s. Iā€™m running through the series this October, having only seen the first one. Fun fact: Captain Phasma from the newest Star Wars movies was named after this movie since her shiny armor looked like a Phantasm ball. ---

**Cowboys and Aliens.** I dismissed this movie out of hand back when it came out, just based on the title. Turns out that the cast saved the day, and it was a fun watch. ---

I remember having a fun time watching that movie, and the next day pretty much forgetting all about it. ---

Iā€™ve seen it twice, and Iā€™d say itā€™s a one-and-done movie. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Iā€™m still not convinced this movie makes an real sense. It really does not. But Iā€™m still inexplicably fond of it, very much a childhood nostalgia thing šŸ™‚. Angus Scrimm as the undertaker was an inspired bit of casting. Also the director/writer also directed Bubba Ho-Tep, which makes only marginally more sense but is still a lot of fun. ---

I like Lithgo better as Churchill but Oldman won and Oscar for this. ---

**Good on Paper** (2021). We watched this last night. Though a romantic comedy with many laughs, the overall premiss is quite sad. The main character meets who she thinks is a regular, average guy who grows on her and she falls in love with him. He turns out to be a horrific pathological liar. Throughout the film we were hoping that everything was just a coincidence and he was the man he claimed to be. No such luck and in the end she winds up alone and right back where she started. ---

Orion is driving me buggy as cannot use Brave on SD anymore. The original three Dragon Tattoo films in Swedish are now in a series called **Millenium** Far better than the remakes late. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4Q8Flgh4yI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4Q8Flgh4yI) &1 ---

Spy Game 2001 Robert Redford, Brad Pitt It wasnā€™t the buddy movie that I expected. The story is much darker as Redford works behind the scenes to save his protege. The story is very slow paced but the suspenes builds . Thatā€™s common in Redford movies. > [@](#): > > Set across multiple international locations, the narrative follows a veteran intelligence officer as he attempts to orchestrate the release of his protĆ©gĆ©, who has been captured in China during an unauthorized mission.
