Finally watched The Thunderbolts and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was nice to see a recent Marvel movie with actual heart.
Recently got burned on the 4k Terminator 2, the transfer and sound were anything but great. I returned it and I'm just keeping the bluray. I also ordered the 4k Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) from Vinegar Syndrome (is it Scary Movie Month yet?) that I'm hoping doesn't disappoint as it was $44!
To deviate from movies, I finally got around to playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and after already playing two play-throughs, it has become my favorite video game I've ever played. The story and character developments are top notch, the gameplay is rich and detailed. If you love the wild west, I couldn't recommend this game enough!
Nobody 2 (2025): In the category of unnecessary sequel, this one is a contender. I enjoyed the first one a lot, the contrast of the boring, wimpy, family man with the violent Home Alone style action scenes was fun. But that's gone in the sequel because we know what the guy can do, so it just becomes another cartoonish violent action flick. Not bad, but I'll stick with the first movie.
Dragonslayer (1981): I first saw this movie only a few months, recommended by a friend, and loved it. So, I ordered the 4k, which Canada Post lost, then ordered it again somewhere else, and now it's here. It will always make my brain explode to see the weasel from Ghostbusters 2 being a fantasy hero. Don't get me wrong, he's great, but I've seen G2 so many times (I actually like that movie) that seeing him as a fearless warrior is kinda weird. I'm also starving for good, well made, fantasy flick, so I'll grab anything and everything (I just ordered Deathstalker 4k, which may or may not have been a mistake, it's a total blind buy).
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975): Monty Python goodness in glorious 4k. I got it from Amazon UK, because I was afraid to get custom fees if I ordered from US, and the CA store is always weird about these types of pre-orders. We're only missing Life of Brian.

Don't forget to listen to the excellent commentary track by Mr Bromley on TCM2. And i confirm the transfer is excellent
