The Princess Bride 4/5: This is a movie I saw far too much as a kid and developed a distaste for it. Now that I gave it a decade break I can see coming back to it that this movie really is a great fairy tale

Backdraft 2.5/5: Look, there's a reason we've never heard from this Baldwin brother, he's not a good actor. For the caliber of talent in this movie it's not very good

Predators 3/5: It's passable. It's filled with cliche characters and the Predators are fine enough. The whole "Predator civil war" thing seemed goofy but as Yahtzee Croshaw says "if it's stupid but it doesn't impact the plot then I guess it doesn't matter"

Aliens 4.5/5: It's a huge tone shift from Alien but I love it anyway. One thing I like from these late 80s/early 90s movies is that the CGI was so expensive that they had to be super deliberate about putting the Aliens on screen. Hell the first Xenomorph doesn't even appear on screen in the first 50 minutes

Event Horizon 4.5/5: I fucking love this movie. The intersection of the infinite vastness of space with the eldritch horrors, the most reasonable horror protagonist of all time, and just incredible set design
