One of the trailers we saw yesterday was The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Intrigued, I did a little nosing around to find some info and found it's based on The Captain's Log, a chapter in Bram Stoker's Dracula novel. It opens in Aug.

Alien Code.
I recommend this movie if you like wordy, philosophical, slow, hard science fiction and speculative fiction. There are things about it that are irritating, but for a shoe string budget film it is far better than anybody has a right to expect. Closest comparison is to Pi, but stylistically it owes a lot to every successful thoughtful SF movie or TV show of the last 25 years. It cuts away all the excess and stupidity and triteness of bigger budget movies, but it also loses something in acting (which is college level), directing (of which there is none), and soundtrack (which is better than anything bigger budget but honestly could have just been stripped entirely -- as is the case of almost every bigger budget movie or TV sow not named Succession).
A very good effort and worth seeing what the writer (Michael G. Cooney) does in future. After all, Pi gave us Aronofsky, and though he has never done anything better, he has managed to make mass entertainment that isn't awful.
A minus.

I'd like to thank CINEMA SINS for bringing this lovely piece of history to my attention =)

Took dad to see Indiana Jones today. We both enjoyed it- a bit long, but much better than last attempt

Saw Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny today. I loved it!! It’s solidly in the top 3 ahead of Temple Of Doom and the Crystal Skull farce!

Found "Renfield" on Peacock. Campy, funny, I liked it.

Oppenheimer is opening the same weekend. Looking forward to seeing that but it's almost 3 hours long. I'll wait until that comes out on *pick a streaming service*.

I want to see both. Or wait for the inevitable mash-up, "I am Barbie, destroyer of worlds."

Oppenheimer is one thing I think needs to be seen on the big screen first (especially if you can get the IMAX experience). I'll be seeing it in theater for sure.

Never Forget!
It's a Universal Pictures movie, so it'll be Peacock.
There is a feud going between Nolan and Cruise because Oppenheimer has locked up IMAX screens for two weeks which means Mission Impossible only gets a week on IMAX.
