Recent movies I've seen

One of the key themes of the Tron universe is that you can tell who the good guys are vs the bad guys cos the former are a pale blue and the latter are a dark red. So I find it very telling that Disney rendered their logo in a dark red colour. Tron Ares is not a sequel or a reboot - it's an enjoyable cashgrab by the studio execs.

Bugonia is very much a Yorgos Lanthimos movie. An utterly bonkers dark comedy about a conspiracy nut, kidnapping and torturing the CEO of the company he works for as he thinks she's an alien. It isn't long before the plot starts going sideways and then just keeps on going.

The new version of The Running Man is actually pretty good. I believe it follows much more closely the original book than the 80s movie did and is probably better for it, cos the plot is a lot more grounded.
