  1. There's an old photographer's saying: "The sharpest lens you can buy is a good tripod". Hope you enjoy using your new one. Cheers. Chris.
  2. How do you murder a Circus? You go for the juggler! Chris.
  3. IIRC, Italeri have produced a 1/72nd version. Cheers. Chris.
  4. Odd and VERY graphic, in places. Says some interesting things about the man/woman power dynamic. Looks really good. What say ye? Chris.
  5. Throwing another one into the mix...... Akira. Possibly the best animated film I've clapped eyes on. Allegedly, Taika Waititi was going to make a live-action version of it, but that has gone very quiet indeed (probably because it would need a $500 Million budget to really do it justice - not impossible, given that Disney apparently spent nearly that much on "Solo: A Star Wars Story", when you include the cost of the re-shoots). Cheers. Chris.
  6. The first one was one of the most self-important, dull, poorly-written, turgid movies I've ever seen. A 45-minute story, stretched into a two-and-a-half-hour film. AWFUL. Two, three and four were good, space-opera romps and worth the effort. Five............I've been in therapy ever since and it still gives me nightmares. Utter bilge. The rest of the flock? Range from watchable to just embarrassing.
  7. I think we might be getting our Neil Blomkampf films mixed up here. The first part sounds like "Elysium" and the second part sounds like "District 9". Both worth a watch, although District 9 is the better movie, IMHO. Cheers. Chris.
  8. Just to be the contrarian here, folks should check out a 1970's (?) sci-fi parody called "Big Meat Eater". Made on a budget of around 10 Dollars, but the script is super-sharp and very ironic. They certainly don't make them like that, anymore... Only issue with this one? It is VERY difficult to find these days. I saw it for sale on E-Bay recently and an ex-rental VHS copy (remember those?) was going for a mere £80! I've never seen it on any streaming service. If you like weird, low-budget, made-with-real-love movies, this one's a genuine gem. Cheers. Chris. PS: Solaris and Stalker? Regularly upheld as two of the top Sci-Fi films of all time.... I just don't get Tarkovsky's way of telling a story. And I doubt I ever will, to be honest. Really not my cup-of-tea. Just as an aside, it's reckoned that filming next to the heavily-polluted river in Stalker might have given a lot of the crew cancer, including Tarkovsky himself.
  9. This looks a lot like a Danish film available on-line, called "The Bombardment" (for English-speaking markets). Cheers. Chris.
  10. Thank you for your service, Mike! Chris.
