Watched Bewitched (1981) and it's sequel The Boxer's Omen (1983).
Also watched the Cat III classic Dr. Lamb (1992).

I will have to get back on Bewitched and The Boxer's Omen as I'm a bit tired but was surprised how much I enjoyed revisiting Dr. Lamb.
Stylish photography and a great soundtrack (imho) make this a genuine classic Cat III thriller.
Simon Yam is great as the deranged killer.

Watched a dodgy spaghetti western - The Proud and Damned. Released by Pegasus in the UK, poor AV quality all round.

The film itself was pretty dull until the half way mark when it suddenly forgot about its original political espionage plot and turned into the Magnificent Seven. It starred western regular Chuck Connors and Cesar Romero who played The Joker in the Batman tv series.

watched the Van Damme actioner Sudden Death this morning, entertaining action flick with top notch direction from Peter Hyams. Although it is pretty much a remake of Die Hard but so was Air Force one, Con Air etc etc. i miss the days of hollywood Van Damme, thank the lord for Expendables 2

My Little Eye (the Interactive Browser version). still have a lot of regard for this film.
though not necessarily this "version". as i thought it jarred with the actual film's timeline, therefore taking AWAY from the impact etc. ach, at least they tried something different.

tried to watch Apollo 18 again. sorry. pass. UFO was scarier IMO.

I've never seen the Interactive Browser Version, but I'm in agreement on the high regard that My Little Eye deserves. It's one I've found myself compelled to return to a couple of times, now.

Ch4 had LET THE RIGHT ONE IN and THIRST on at the weekend, LTROI was a quality Nordic horror with a sympathetic storyline and a great non cop-out ending(for a change). THIRST was an off the wall Japanese spin on Vampirism as an infection caught thru transfusions, gets VERY Japanese about halfway thru involving a love story and some distasteful stuff about a paralyzed Gran(and apparently this form of vampirism makes you constantly hump each other) it was okay but not a patch on LTROI.
