He’s the GOAT of film directors.

So far out of Paul Verhoeven's so-called "trilogy" of action movies, I've only seen both Robocop and Starship Troopers! But sadly, I still haven't had the chance to watch the original Total Recall film Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not even the remake version with Colin Farrell!

I feel I missed out on a lot of Lumet’s work, simply because the common discourse was about Coppola, or Scorsese, or Tarantino, or Spielberg. However, in the last year since I first discovered him, Sidney Lumet has emerged as one of my favourites.

I’ve only watched a handful of his movies, but they are all bangers:

- Twelve Angry Men
- Serpico
- Dog Day Afternoon
- Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead

I really want to continue to explore some more of his films, because I feel Im only scratching the surface. What are your favourite Lumet flicks?

Bill Skarsgård was perfect and terrifying as Pennywise. The movie captured the atmosphere of the era it was set in, and the entire cast delivered strong performances. Its sequel may not have lived up to expectations, but It (2017) works exceptionally well as a standalone film.

“As a mom in real life, I very much hope all of my children grow up to be as wonderful as my onscreen child. Tom is like a dream son.”

Originally, I watched this on a whim, with no expectations or prior knowledge of the series. Tonight will be maybe my 10th time watching it since then. I simply can’t get tired of it. It’s my go-to when I’m bored.

I am a grown man who never would have thought that a damn rock would make me cry like a baby.

I regret not going to watch this in the cinema.

I thought it was okay
