A Date for Mad Mary
Sweet and occasionally very funny lesbian coming out story from Ireland. Mary, a troubled woman in her early 20s is released from prison for assault and has to find a date for her best friend's wedding. Seana Kerslake is great as Mary, balancing an outer toughness with a fragile inner life as events spiral out of her control with an almost blank expression on her face for most of the film but when she allows happiness into her life, her face and expressions will melt your heart. Good stuff.
Strike Commando
Fantastic 'Namsploitation flick that is just a lot of fun and contains an excellent montage of various tortures heaped on the hero by the baddies that plays like a demented Japanese game show. Recommended.
