    I have to say that trailer for Some Kind of Wonderful is wonderful! Such an underrated film, I love it.

    I didn't recognize the movie from the title but watching the trailer I think I saw it when I was a kid. I think it's one of those movies where I'd catch it on TV every so often (my parents had HBO and Cinemax back then) but never knew the name of it.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    ...And I looked, and suddenly there was a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hell followed with him

    Innerspace is so much fun, but I don't know a lot of people who have seen it. It kinds of reminds me of Project X. I talk about it all the time, but nobody seems to remember it.

    I think I might have seen it, but the name didn't seem familiar until I watched the trailer.

    If you're a fan of 80s slashers and/or giallos, Tenebre is required viewing.

    So happy to see Nausicaä move on, it's an incredible film, all Ghibli films will be streaming on HBO Max this spring when it launches, so those of you who will be getting that, please take some time to watch their movies, they're treasures!
