Always joked my first good review in The Guardian’d kill me. This likely as good as it’ll get & I’m still standing! Even call me ‘resourceful’!!

I had a really good time with Knightfall tonight. Spy movie turned home invasion thriller with standout performances from Ian Ogilvy and Geoffrey Moore (the spitting image of his dad). Get it now on physical media or streaming.

Actor Stacy Keach dead at the age of 85. Growing up, I remember him as Mike Hammer on television. However, Keach had countless roles across film & TV - including The Long Riders, Gray Lady Down, Up In Smoke, Escape From L.A., Road Games, Jay Kelly, Body Bags & Blue Bloods.

Watching Helloween tonight and having a blast. Ir's not following the narrative path I expected at all. Lots of fun (insofar as serial killers are fun).
I promise not to do this every year but our film HELLOWEEN, superbly written & directed by @PhilClaydon76 - is perfect viewing tonight. Not just the usual creepy clown film. My best horror movie by some distance. Great performances. Give it a watch! Oh and Happy Halloween! 🎃 x.com/sothcott/statu…

"They Live" was released on this day in 1988. Remarkable sci-fi-action movie (based on a short story by Ray Nelson) from legendary writer/composer/director John Carpenter.

Highlights: Alley brawl between Roddy Piper and Keith David is one of the greatest fight sequences ever; y by Gary B. Kibbe; superb score by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth.

"They Live" opened at #1 at the box office, and grossed over four times its production budget. Although considered a mild success at the time of release, it found a much wider audience in the intervening decades. Today it is (rightfully) considered a classic.

"They Live" is a cinematic knockout. The film is layered with fascinating socio-political subtext while also examining the dangers of consumerism, capitalism and conformity.

Piper is terrific in the lead, with the always-great Keith David delivering one of his best performances. Fantastic special effects, unfortunately alien makeup design, and showcasing one of the greatest lines in movie history.

Among my ten favorite films of 1988.

Rocky III is a beautiful film in ways that are different than the first Rocky, which won the Oscar for Best Picture. Rocky III explores what it means to have something to lose & to fight to protect it, whereas the original film is more about an underdog’s climb to the top. Both explt Rocky III doesn’t seem to get the same recognition. I think this film is nearly flawless.

A production still of Louis Jourdan, Kabir Bedi, Roger Moore and Stuart Saunders during filming for Octopussy (1983)

I love the swagger that Moore injects into this scene. Always in control and with the same room commanding flair as 60's era Connery.

RIP Peter Medak - for me, The Krays is one of the greatest British crime films. Absolutely superb. The Ruling Class and Romeo Is Bleeding too. Bravo and RIP Sir.

"Without a Clue" was released on this day in 1988. Outstanding Sherlock Holmes comedy/adventure from director Thom Eberhardt and screenwriters Larry Strawther and Gary Murphy.

Highlights: Terrific performances by Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley; outstanding production design by nificent Henry Mancini score.

While the Case of the Missing Box Office was a mystery that "Without a Clue" was unable to solve upon release, this wonderful movie has since become a cult classic over the intervening decades.

Among my ten favorite films of 1988.
