The film has become a modern cult classic, and one that has since spawned a number of sequels. It was

Early reviews absolutely panned the film, which did make me a little nervous, but I wasn't dissuaded from going, again, be

When I recently visited the Wes Anderson Archives exhibition at The Design Museum in London, I had the opportunity to see a lot of the iconic filmmaker's most beloved props, costumes, notes, and more, but something I wasn't expecting, and was exceedingly grateful for, was the opportunity to watch one of his early works; this 1993 short film version of 'Bottle Rocket' , which Anderson would remake as a feature film three years later. I could really see and hear the early signs

I wasn't really sure what to expect, beyond Arnold Schwarzenegger and violence, but I was hoping for something reminiscent of the fun I've had with other 80's classic

How well this would work, I was unsure, but some very solid reviews convinced me it was worth my time to find out what it was like for myself, and there i

As such, I felt it deserved at least one rewatch, just to see if it was a decent film, and whether or not it would be worth trying out the sequels as well. It seemed like the kind of film I could enjoy, indeed, I remember at leas

I was quietly very excited for this film because it seemed to present an interesting look into the world of kink in the queer community, and felt like it would be an emotionally rich and stimulating experien

Prior to watching this fourth film, directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, who has helmed four of the films in the franchise thus far, I had seen about half the films that had come out to that point, admittedly, not all in order. By this point I was all too aware of what to expect from

However, my excitement was quelled by some very underwhelming reviews, which I skimmed shortly before going to the cinema. I still wanted to watch it, but I decided to drastica
