A ★★ review of Vampires (1998)

The One & Rory @the1androry.bsky.social · 5d

"Whereas Near Dark knew how to mesh westerns with vampires, this flick felt like a slapdash of neat ideas, as it needed another rewrite to get it right"

A ★★★ review of Near Dark (1987)

The One & Rory @the1androry.bsky.social · 8d

"If someone from @studiocanal.com is reading this, re-release it in 4k, as Bigelow’s star is certainly a lot more well-known than in 1987"

A ★ review of Vampire Academy (2014)

Oscar-winning Irish makeup artist Michèle Burke dies

The One & Rory @the1androry.bsky.social · 20d

Saddened to hear the news of Michèle Burke's passing, as her makeup effects on Quest for Fire and Dracula were top-notch, creating what many consider to be one of the character's iconic film looks.
This county was blessed to have someone like her in the industry.

Irish makeup artist Michèle Burke, who was the first woman to win an Oscar for her craft, has died aged 75.

Hyacinth Takes A De-Tour | Keeping Up Appearances

The One & Rory @the1androry.bsky.social · 20d

Mulholland Drive. If someone asks me for lunch at Winkies, I'd tell them to "feck off".

The One & Rory @the1androry.bsky.social · 21d

Growing up, I watched a lot of Keeping Up Appearances because of my grandad, as he’d be on the couch with his pipe laughing away at Hyacinths’ antics.
Patricia Routledge’s physical comedy is simply unmatched, as she was just perfect casting for this part.

A ★½ review of The Hangover Part II (2011)

A very sad farewell to Robert Redford, one of Hollywood’s most dedicated and passionate forces — an award-winning talent who was as gifted at bringing out remarkable performances as he was at delivering them.

Wasn't Tom Rothman the one who thought "Deadpool was stupid", hence why he had his mouth sewn shut in Origins Wolverine's climax?
