  Armageddon 1998

  ★★★ Watched 05 Dec 2023

  Armageddon is a non stop annihilation of the senses. There’s no character development or unnecessary plot points. There’s a killer asteroid and a team of crazy, uncouth drillers, and that’s all you need to know.

  “This makes me miss Tiffany so much. She hated blowjobs!”

  This was so brilliant. Clever, entertaining and bloody funny. It was Back to the Future meets Halloween and I loved every minute of it.

  Thoughts while watching it:

  - the ‘80s were a truly terrifying time to be alive

  - Only in America would the mask worn in an actual murder spree be the Halloween costume of choice in the city where it happened

  - Self defence advice from the school’s…
