Trespass 1992
In the 1992 film "Trespass," the young Bill Paxton and William Sadler deliver performances that teeter on the edge of overacting, yet somehow enhance the anxiety-inducing cat-and-mouse chase within the dilapidated warehouse. Ice-T and Ice Cube add unexpected layers to the mix. Despite the passage of over 30 years, the film remains a lot of fun and surprisingly holds up, making it a gripping experience for fans of intense thrillers.

"Blade II," directed by Guillermo del Toro, is the sequel to the 1998 film "Blade" and follows the adventures of the vampire hunter Blade, portrayed by Wesley Snipes.

The Girl Next Door 2004

Bird on a Wire 1990
"Bird on a Wire" was a delightful surprise for me. Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn's chemistry and performances were truly fantastic. They brought a vibrant energy to their roles, making the film enjoyable from start to finish.
However, it's a bit of a disappointment that David Carradine and Bill Duke didn't have as much screen time or depth in their characters. Given their talent, they could have added even more to the movie's appeal.

The Exorcist 1973
"The Exorcist," released in 1973, holds a special place in my heart as it came out just one year after my birth. Back then, I couldn't have possibly fathomed the cultural impact and controversy it would stir, especially in the United Kingdom where it was famously banned on VHS. Fast forward to today, and it's surreal to see this once-taboo film comfortably nestled in mainstream television rotations.Watching "The Exorcist" for the first time from start to finish was an eerie…
