Crawl Or Die (dir: Oklahoma Ward, 2014)
Low budget sci-fi/horror movie. An elite team of soldiers is given the task of escorting the last fertile woman off Earth to "Earth 2". Driven underground by hostile aliens, they are forced to enter an increasingly claustrophobic tunnel network. Most of the team are picked off in short order, leaving just the "package" and the sole surviving female soldier (Nicole Alonso)
Spoiler Alerts - The bad points: the dialogue (which is thankfully minimal) is terrible. Most of the minor acting is too, if I'm honest. By the end only Alonso is left alive, which does rather defeat the whole point. To make the movie feel real, it should have been the civvie who is left alone; placing her in a Sarah Connor at the end of Terminator situation. I also didn't like that the woman they are trying to save doesn't have a name; being referred to as "the package" throughout. The effect is to dehumanise her so you don't really care that much when she dies. The alien in this movie is a complete rip-off of the one from Alien. There's also too much gratuitous flesh baring. I can take Alonso removing her jacket (although nobody else does), but when she removes her trousers to tear off hand bandages for the "package", then you have to wonder why.
The good points: at its best the claustrophobic feel is well handled, especially when the last two are laboriously hauling themselves through a very narrow dirt tunnel and the alien catches up to and drags the "package" backwards to her doom. From there it's a question of how close it will get to our heroine. Sadly the last scene before she is rescued goes on too long, meaning she's rather left up in the air dithering between one course of action and another, and then back again.
6/10

"The Tokyo Rose of the Trailer Park"
He's already said this is his last Bond film.
"The Tokyo Rose of the Trailer Park"
I thought he was joking when he said it was his last 007 movie.
Love him in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. 10/10!

Watched Terminator 2 last night. It didn't age well.

The Graduate: 10/10
Tomorrowland: 7/10
The General (Buster Keaton, 1926)
Sublime. Some crazily dangerous stunt work by the star, and the most expensive special effect in silent movies when a train crashes down through a burning bridge into a river.
10/10
"The Tokyo Rose of the Trailer Park"
The Martian.
10/10.
I just saw 'The Graduate' after it arrived this morning. I would give it the same rating you did.

Did the wajkowski brothers lose their ability to write when one of them lost his balls? Jupiter ascending was TERRIBLE.

Lol, that movie truly is a piece of sh-t.
They haven't done anything good after The Matrix. I've heard good things about Sense8 though.
