This week, I went to a theater to look at a displaying of the black-and-white model of Johnny Mnemonic, starring Keanu Reeves. Previous-heads like me might recollect it as a nasty mid-90s cyberpunk movie (written by William Gibson!) a couple of information courier whose mind is the storage medium, however who needed to have his childhood reminiscences erased to create space for the work.
I hadn’t seen it since I used to be a child, and what? It’s nonetheless not a great film. However if you happen to ignore the plot holes, principally terrible performing, and horrible pacing, it’s not less than very cool to take a look at.

It was enjoyable sufficient, but it surely was bizarre to listen to the theater viewers erupt with applause on the finish, although, figuring out the way it was obtained nearly three many years in the past.
No less than a number of the films beneath, from the final week’s value of trailers, are sure to be higher.
