YOUNG WASHINGTON (2026) - As a movie, there was a lot to like here.  It highlights George Washington's role in starting the French and Indian War, as well as his incredible heroism at the Battle of Monongahela, where he was the only British officer not shot out of the saddle despite being in the heat of action the entire day.  Well cast, good acting, and some great action sequences.
   Historically, it got a lot of things wrong, from the uniforms to the presence of artillery on the field to some major monkeying with the timeline of events.
   But overall, it was a solid effort, highly entertaining, and hopefully it will encourage audiences to do a bit more research on the events it covers.

Didn't think there would be another movie with "Driller" in the title, but there are a couple.

I think we're OK on time. There will be a lot of choices from the 1800s on.

34. The Devils (set in 1634) Just so we don't miss it.

Surely Farage chose Clacton because he thought that was the best chance for him to win. If he can't win there, it has to be the end of him, right?

so it finally happened, I bought a remake on DVD, thinking I was buying the original. should've studied the box harder. Doh!

SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT (2025)... from the producers of TERRIFIER apparently. not a film I enjoyed, too wilfully nasty in a not good way imo.

will see how I get on with this, expectation levels are low-ish.

from wiki:

QuoteSilent Night, Deadly Night embraces the franchise's inherent absurdity while surpassing the original with sharper filmmaking, richer characterization, and politically astute, pitch-black satire."

hmm... what about us gentlefolk of exquisite taste? us connoisseurs of cinema who just want crappy acting and dumb dialogue?
