I still haven't managed to get my hands on the elusive "Vampire Cut" of #InTheHeatOfTheNight. 📽️🎞️

Virgil Tibbs) wearing a dark suit, a striped white and dark brown tie and a white collared shirt holding a wooden stake in his hands (on the left) and a shorter Caucasian man (Rod Steiger as Police Chief Bill Gillespie) wearing a black police uniform and a cap (on the right) standing outside side by side. There's a yellow bulldozer and two parked cars in the background.

Most enjoyable Abel Ferrara film I've ever seen. Female Death Wish. Slightly art housey vigilante exploitation flick. Sure the acting's pretty bad at times. And #Ms45 is anything but subtle, as you'd obviously expect from Ferrara. 🫢 That said... 📽️🎞️

Collage of two posters for the vigilante exploitation film 'Ms. 45' (1981). Directed by Abel Ferrara. Starring Zoë Lund (as Zoë Tamerlis), Albert Sinkys, Darlene Stuto, Helen McGara, Nike Zachmanoglou and Editta Sherman.

On the left a black and purple image of a young woman (Zoë Lund as Thana) with a row of images of the same woman pointing a pistol at the viewer and finally firing it across the larger image's woman's face from one side of the poster to the other. On the woman's chest the film's title in white letters with the tagline "It's no longer a man's world..." on top.

On the left a poster with an illustration of a woman (only the bottom half of her body appearing) wearing a black dress, stockings and high heeled shoes holding a pistol in his right hand standing (with her back to the viewer in the foreground) in a dark New York alleyway. Appearing through the woman's legs in the background a mugger with brown curly hair wearing a black leather jacket and jeans holding a wooden stick in his hands. On the top right corner the tagline "It will never happen again!" in light blue letters. At the bottom of the poster the film's title in slightly tilted light blue letters, with the dot appearing like a bullet hole.

Frame from the vigilante exploitation film 'Ms. 45' (1981). Close-up of an armed burglar wearing a black leather jacket (only his left arm and back appearing) threatening a brown haired young woman (Zoë Lund as Thana) sitting on a sofa with a pistol pressed against the side of her head and holding his left hand on top of her mouth.

⚔️🏴‍☠️ I do 🫶 a good swashbuckler and/or pirate movie. And in theory Terence Hill & Bud Spencer would be great leads. But unfortuntely in practice... 🙁 At least when it comes to #IlCorsaroNero. Which is pretty poor effort. Only for the die hard fans of the genre and/or the pair. ☠️ #BlackieThePirate 📽️🎞️

Poster for the Italian swashbuckler pirate film 'Il corsaro nero'/'Blackie the Pirate' (1971). Directed by Enzo Gicca Palli. Starring Terence Hill, Silvia Monti, George Martin, Diana Lorys, Sal Borgese, Monica Randall, Edmund Purdom and Bud Spencer.

💊💉🚬 Well, that was disappointing. 😐 Not because I thought it was lousy. But #DrugstoreCowboy certainly ain't no Trainspotting or Requiem for a Dream either! But given how people talk about it I definitely expected it to be something special like those aforementioned two, and not so... Average. 📽️🎞️

Poster for the film 'Drugstore Cowboy' (1989). Based on the then-unpublished autobiographical novel of the same name by James Fogle. Directed by Gus Van Sant. Starring Matt Dillon, Kelly Lynch, James LeGros, Heather Graham, James Remar, Max Perlich and William S. Burroughs.

#UnFlic is no Le Cercle Rouge or Le Samouraï even though it's aesthetically quite similar. The opening bank robbery sequence does unfortunately promise more than what the film ultimately ends up delivering though. But at least it's only 90+ min. #ACop #DirtyMoney 📽️🎞️

Poster for the French crime film 'Un flic' (1972), released as 'A Cop' or 'Dirty Money' in the English speaking world. Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville. Starring Alain Delon, Richard Crenna, Catherine Deneuve, Riccarco Cucciolla, Michael Conrad, Paul Crauchet, Simone Valére and Valérie Wilson.

On the poster a black and white image of a dark haired man (Alain Delon as Commissaire Édouard Coleman) wearing a suit and a tie lighting with a cigarette in his mouth. Next to the man's face on the right side of the poster the film's title in French in large red block letters.

Frame from the French crime film 'Un flic' (1972). In the middle of the frame a dark haired male bank teller (facing to the right) wearing a grey blazer, a blue tie and a white collared shirt standing behind a bank counter with slightly raised arms looking down at a pistol that's being pointed at him through the opening in the divider screen. A round glass dome of a lamp in the background on the top left of the frame and a calendar on the wall with a large number 23.

Frame from the French crime film 'Un flic' (1972).

There's a revolver on one of the pillows.

🧨⚖️ #CoyoteVsAcme is certainly no Who Framed Roger Rabbit! And far too many gags are admittedly foreseeable, at least if you've grown up watching Looney Tunes cartoons. That said... It still makes absolutely no sense why the suits wanted to originally shelf this for good. 😐📽️🎞️

Poster for the comedy film 'Coyote vs. Acme' (2026). Loosely based on the 1990 The New Yorker magazine article "Coyote v. Acme" by Ian Frazier. Directed by Dave Green. Starring Will Forte, Lana Condor, John Cena, Luis Guzmán, P.J. Byrne and Eric Bauza.

On top of the poster the names of Will Forte, Lana Condor and John Cena in white letters. On the poster an illustration of a large cartoon bomb with a lit fuse being pushed up a hill by a cartoon coyote (Wile E. Coyote). Watching it on top of the hill (on the top right) a long necked cartoon bird (The Road Runner). The film's title in red letters at the bottom right on top of the text "In theatres August 28th" (first half in red, the latter in grey).

Frame from the comedy film 'Coyote vs. Acme' (2026). A disappointed loooking cartoon coyote (Wile E.

⛪👓 Released #OnThisDay 40 years ago. A brilliant medieval murder mystery based on Umberto Eco's novel of the same name (which I still haven't for some reason read despite really liking the film 🫣). A must-see for anyone who's into whodunits and/or history. #TheNameOfTheRose 📽️🎞️

Feeling a bit conflicted that #DaredevilBornAgain will end after the upcoming third season. 😕 While I still think that the first Netflix season is one of the best comic book adaptations of all-time, the first reboot season felt basically nothing more than a season long intro for the next. 📺

Frame from the television series 'Daredevil: Born Again' (2025-). Two men sitting in a New York diner's booth on opposite sides of the table facing each other. On the left a slightly bearded dark brown haired younger blind man (Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock) wearing sunglasses, a dark suit and a striped tie and a white collared shirt and on the right a completely bald middle-aged man (Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk) also wearing a dark suit, a tie and a white collared shirt, resting his arms on the table. There are two large coffee cups and condiment bottles on the table.

On the right a spectacled brown haired young woman (Hannah Einbinder as Kris Williams) wearing a grey, turquoise and black sweater and grey trousers and on the right an older fair haired woman (Gillian Anderson as Billy Presley) wearing a black fashion turban and a black and silver dress and holding a sketch pad on her lap. Light from the film projector shining from the background in between the two women's heads.

Dunno if it's just 'cos the latest season is based on one of my favourite #Reacher novels why it ultimately feels disappointing. 🤔 Even if the finale did save it a bit, despite having a couple of pointless gotchas. 🤨 Still too long of a season. Story could've been told in at least 2-3 fewer eps. 📺

🦖 #TheEndOfOakStreet has an interesting premise and there admittedly are genuinely thrilling suspenseful moments but ultimately it ends up being frustratingly disappointing. Kinda like Lost. Which I suppose should be expected given JJ Abrams' involvement...? 🤫 This only lasts 90+ min though. 📽️🎞️

A tricycle, a swingset and a tree trunk appearing through the smoke on the right as well. The film's title in white block letters in the middle of the frame.

Like in so many De Palma films the cinematic influences are clear as a day. Interesting thriller that doesn't unfortunately carry all the way till the end.

The "Do what the tapes are asking you" task on the latest episode of #TaskmasterNZ. 👏 I do 🫶 a dastardly task like that. It's amazing how we can be so blind at something that's practically staring at us in the face when we're stressed/too focused on something. 😆 #Taskmaster 📺

🏨 Do I think #TheWhiteLotus is as masterful as everyone raving on about it seem to suggest? Nope. That said, it's interesting. Finely made, acted and written anthology series for sure. Especially the first season. 📺

No idea how old I was when I saw #BugsyMalone on the telly. 🤔 But it's one of those films that I remember fondly from my childhood. And I can still see why it took to me so much back in the day. Just given what a vivid imagination I had as a kid! 📽️🎞️

Released #OnThisDay 30 years ago. Hong Kong action director Ringo Lam's Hollywood debut. While #MaximumRisk may be one of the better post-Universal Soldier JCVD films, it's still a run-of-the-mill action thriller. Mostly lacking the frenetic nature of Lam's Hong Kong actioners. 📽️🎞️

On top of her midsection the film's title in white block letters with the tagline "The other side of safe." on the right side of the word "Risk" under the bottom part of "Maximum.

🚘 #TheGrandTour reboot admittedly still looks and feels the same as the original. And the new trio's definitely better than the worst of the post-Clarkson, May & Hammond Top Gear lineups. But that said, ultimately it still feels like watching a mere tribute act. 📺
