Brighter Hell 📚 @brighterhell.bsky.social · 19/09/2026#filmsky #films 📽️ Dredd | 2012 w/ Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, Lena Headey long time no see. still uncompromising, still so good. like the meme says: "I would trade the whole Avatar saga for Dredd 2". plus all the bonbons in my pockets. 🍬 010
Brighter Hell 📚 @brighterhell.bsky.social · 19/09/2026#filmsky #films 📽️ The Brain that wouldn't die | 1962 even more absurd than the title promises. I thought I was supposed to pity poor Jan, but she teams up with another of her husband's cruel medical experiments pretty soon and kicks asses. go, girl! 💪 000
Brighter Hell 📚 @brighterhell.bsky.social · 05/09/2026#filmsky #films 📽️ Executive Decision | 1996 w/ Kurt Russell, Halle Berry, Joe Morton, Oliver Platt, David Suchet, John Leguizamo, BD Wong haven't seen it in ages, but Kurt Russell saving the day is still good fun on a Friday night. Cappy!! ❤️❤️ 000

Brighter Hell 📚 @brighterhell.bsky.social · 31/08/2026#filmsky #films 📽️ Rubikon | 2022 🌍 w/ Julia Franz Richter, George Blagden, Mark Ivanir a very good, intelligent sci-fi film from Austria (!). how do you decide on your own survival and the survival of others when circumstances are constantly changing? 000
Brighter Hell 📚 @brighterhell.bsky.social · 29/08/2026#filmsky #films 📽️ The Batman | 2022 🦇 my gold standard is the Nolan trilogy, but I thought I’d give this film (and Robert Pattinson) a chance. and I really liked it. it effortlessly finds its own visual style and atmosphere. 000
Brighter Hell 📚 @brighterhell.bsky.social · 29/08/2026#filmsky #films 📽️ Smile 2 | 2024 Naomi Scott gives a great performance, and there are a few fresh ideas, but all in all I found the film merely solid. probably because it lacks the element of surprise that the first film had. annoying product placement. 000

Brighter Hell 📚 @brighterhell.bsky.social · 22/08/2026#filmsky #films 📽️ Flatliners | 1990 w/ ❤️ incredible young, beautiful and sweet Kevin Bacon, Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland, William Baldwin, Oliver Platt loved it then, love it still 🙂 "I don't want to ruin anybody's evening... but are we in a room with a dead man?" 000
Brighter Hell 📚 @brighterhell.bsky.social · 20/08/2026#filmsky #films 📽️ The Night of the Hunter | 1955 the atmosphere, the visual style, the use of light and shadow, the theme music. unsettling, disturbing. a masterpiece. and, as I have learnt, unique. 021
