3 would be the record then.

Lawdy.



High Fidelity

Sometimes You Can't Go Back then. Why did I put myself through it this time? I still want to throttle the life out of Jack Black. Back to the fourth tier methinks ...

Hmmmmm.


I also stuck on The Nightcomers but was too pissed by that point haha. Saner review to follow ahem.

You liked it so much you wanted to post up multiple reviews [emoji23]

It's this fligging phone tbh. Manys the time I've wanted to terminate with extreme prejudice :laugh:

Kill Me Later. A young bank robber trying to escape the police takes a hostage in the form of a suicidal young woman who was just about to throw herself off the bank roof. This early 2000s romantic crime drama is fairly unremarkable, but still pretty watchable, and Selma Blair is very pretty in it. ;)

Empire Of The Dark . (1990, Steve Barkett)

Twenty years after rescuing his son from an evil cult, a father has to muster all his resources to combat them again. From the guy who helmed Aftermath, which was banned here. Lawdy, it's silly...but highly entertaining. Recommended.

The Tracker

Dolph does Taken. When his family are kidnapped, what is a dad to do but go on a bloody rampage or five? Littered with shifty foreign types. Bit languorous with the pacing, which sort of fits with the Italian setting tbh.

Heat (1995, Michael Mann)

Trejo looks svelte :laugh:
A crew of disparate criminals hedge their bets when they discover that the fuzz are privvy to their actions. Bob's last decent performance??
Hmmm.
Forgot Casino

Flog me later.

The chase. Moby tinkling in the background. Never noticed twas the Black Swan as

PACINO'S :laugh: stepdaughter cough.



Ahem. Now I is off to watch OUATIA. Til Sunday then :lol::rolleyes:

Good Cop Bad Cop (David A. Prior)

Lawdy. David Keith cross-dressing. Charles Napier plays the Mayor. Leo Rossi sneers. Pammy pouts. Shenanigans ahoy! 3rd tier mayhem enuses. Recommended.

The Car. When a mysterious black car begins mowing people down in a small, isolated desert town, the local police understandably assume they're dealing with a madman. But they soon find out it may be something far worse, for not only is the car seemingly indestructible, but it also doesn't even have a driver... James Brolin stars in this late 70s horror flick that manages to make something effective and eerie out of a silly premise just through sheer conviction and atmosphere. :nod:

That horn still freaks me out.
Rewatch!!!

Primal Fear. A hotshot defense attorney defends a seemingly harmless teenage alter boy accused of the brutal murder of Chicago's Archbishop. But nothing and no one - including the victim - are everything they appear. Richard Gere and Edward Norton lead a great cast (including Frasier's John Mahoney, Newsradio's Maura Tierney, Frances Sternhagen, Terry O'Quinn, Laura Linney) in this still very solid and entertaining mid-90s courtroom drama/thriller. Thoroughly enjoyable. :nod:

After two weeks of holiday, it's nice to come back home and find some nice packages in the mailbox, one of them was the boxset of Sammo Hung, you cannot get wrong with this movie - Action non stop, classic HK humour, non sense characters, looking forward to watch the other two.

P.s. Love this Halloween theme :coffin::graveconcern::hailwitch::mummy:

Hellboy (2019 remake)

Worst. Film. Ever.

I am a huge Hellboy fan (both the comics & the 2 GDT movies), and this was a joke. They managed to shoehorn in some of the best stuff from the comics (Baba Yaga, HB being King of england, the Warthog guy!) and ruin it! Overlong, soulless and forced, it shows you the difference between people who passionately care about story & character (GDT et al) andpeople who want to make money.

Read the comics or watch the REAL HB movies, but don't waste your time with this Resident Evil-a-like mess.

0/10

Wild At Heart (1990, David Lynch)

A road movie where the map keeps changing. Two lovestruck fools head out on the highway to escape more than their problems. Littered with amoral monsters, the path isn't always that clearcut. But love conquers all ... ?

Still the weakest of his films for me. Too many folk being weird for weirds sake imho. But I'll take this ride again ....

North v south

Despite fact quite few well known actors the acting is a bit below par,
Dialogue could have been improved ,
Tbh the whole film could have better, it just fails to deliver or grab any real Interest .
Don't really bother .

Oh the story

People are calling it a modern Romeo and Juliet, 2 young lovers are from the opposite side try to keep their romance quiet because a truce between the rival gangs fell apart when one of them kills a bloke who just minding his own business unaware he was with his daughter who was in the little girls room at the time.

Did you manage to watch it all the way through? I switched it off 30 odd mins into it when I found it on Netflix,

Was on Netflix I watched it, I got about half way through and was dozing on and off so just left it playing and catching bits here and there, also some films can get away with constant £uck, wank c#nt and bollocks etc and other films can't and IMO this film didn't .

The Crow

RIP.
Rock singer returns from the grave to revenge an almighty wrong??
That old warhorse. :skull:
Tied with the Sleepy Hollow for most chiaroscuro colour film, this is still a lot of fun, and boy has it been "influential" cough.
Lee owns the screen when he's there. I've never bothered with any of the others.

Dredd. My third viewing of this i think, but first one for a few years. Karl Urban is brilliant as Judge Dredd of Mega City 1. He takes out rookie Judge Anderson for a trial 24 hours to see if she makes the grade after she fails her exam by a 'few percentiles'. She's given an extra chance because she's a psychic and Dredd is told to throw her in the deep end. Well, Anderson chooses a crime scene - Peach Trees mega block. Big mistake as a drug war is going on and Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) is pushing a new drug on the unsuspecting city.

Then Dredd and Anderson get there and all hell breaks loose. Great adaptation of the spirit of the comic strip, if not too deep on the politics, and both leads, as well as Headey are good. One of the best lines of the film come at the end after the two judges walk away from the liberated building where possibly hundreds have died. Dredd's superior asks him what happened and he just deadpans - "Drugs bust."

Spookily similar in both story and execution to another film released in 2012 - The Raid, which i would also recommend.

Raid a great film, I went to see raid 2 at the cinema, no news on the 3 rd yet of when its suppose to be released .

In Fabric (Peter Strickland)

WHAT did I just watch? Slightly self indulgent , bewildering, funny, silly and somewhat disturbing. Yet again, the sound design is of equal importance to the visual element. Ahem. Rewatch soon. In a landscape filled with grave robbers, at least he has tried to produce something unique. Has he succeeded??
YOU decide. I've just got to nip down the shops me ... :skull:
Recommended

Crawl (Alexandre Aja)

Stoooopid time. I don't think it would have been a lot of fun making it either. Trapped by circumstance under your own house?? In a horrendous storm??? With guests????? :devilbanana:
Ahem. Haute Tension seems far away from here tbh .....

Having watched Joker at the cinema (first film in years that actually deserves all the praise), and whenever people ask me to describe it I've told them "Taxi Driver, but with The Joker instead of Travis Bickle",I thought I'd revisit Scorcesse's best film.

What can be said about Taxi Driver that hasn't been said already? Masterpiece is an understatement, gritty, real, complex, truthful study of society creating a man. I watch it & see even more of the references in Joker, I see a character study of the creation of a hero, socially awkward but morally sound, surrounded by $hit but still being a good person.
Endlessly watchable, every scene a classic (personal fave is Scorcesse in back of the cab!), if you haven't seen it, just please seek it out!

10/10

Hot Fuzz. A London supercop whose zeal is showing up his superiors is "promoted" to a sleepy country village where nothing ever happens - until he begins to suspect a murder conspiracy around a spate of so-called "accidents". Simon Pegg and Nick Frost star in this wildly entertaining genre fusion of comedy, thriller, horror and action movie that is still an absolute blast from start to finish. :skull:

Another Wolfcop

I needn't have worried. It's just as entertaining as the first. Evil types have created a liquid nemesis. It's up to our furry felon snatcher (and friends) to quench that thirst. Lawdy etc.

Ready Or Not. A young woman marrying into a wealthy family discovers that the rich really are different when, on her wedding night, her new family invite her to play a game of Hide and Seek - a game she's not expected to survive. Adam Brody and Andie MacDowell co-star in this darkly comic 2019 horror flick that's a thoroughly wicked and thoroughly entertaining ride. :chainsawkill:

Showed a mate Lords Of Chaos as he wanted to see it. Factual inaccuracies aside, it's still quite hard to watch those deaths imho.

That Varg Vikernes writes thinly veiled white supremecy bloody rolepaying games now. I know i had heard his name a while back.

This amuses the Demon ....

Made the mistake of trying to watch Halloween 6 on Halloween. Hadn't seen it in 23 years as I hated it at the time. Watched the Producer's Cut. Nope, still hate it. Absolutely awful on every level. From the appalling treatment of Jamie that goes beyond the usual Halloween stalk and slash into the realms of tasteless cruelty and sadism, to the simply boring new characters and the laughable "Thorn" bollocks, no amount of recutting can save this horse shit. Donald Pleasance does his best, but he's got no chance of rescuing this.
I don't know why 5 catches so much shit, it's a million times better than this garbage. :coffin:

The Great Wall. Brainless action monster movie. Looks ok and it speeds along, but i've forgotten about it already to be honest.Might have benefited from a bit more build up before the monsters arrived as it sets everything out pretty much from the start. Might get another watch some-when, might not.

Death Wish 1974.

Architect Paul Kersey goes on a one man vigilante spree when his wife and daughter are attacked in their home by a gang of thugs.

Michael Winner brings Brian Garfield's novel to life with Charles Bronson as the quiet man pushed the limits for for revenge while Vincent Gardenia Plays the detective out to put a stop to the vigilante killings.

It may have been questionable when it was first released as crime may be on a high note (and still is) and Michael Winner thought how about a taste of vengeance for victims. Unfortunately this went through the remake process with Bruce Willis and Eli Roth (nothing against them) but the remake didn't live upto this film

Cuck (2019, Rob Lambert)

A desperate loner makes a name for himself on the web, in order to alleviate his isolation. Sadly his other pursuits spell the end for this outlet for his impotent rage. I needed a good scrub after this one. It's sort of predictable tbh. Best date since Don't Go In The House :skull:
Triggered: The Movie. :devilbanana:

What a great title. :skull:

Watching something relaxing after Shocktober :skull:
Videodrome
Repellently pretty tis.

Death Wish II 1982.

4 Years have passed since Paul Kersey left New York, now working in Los Angeles, his Housekeeper is gang raped and daughter is taken and raped which causes her death, Paul decides to search the streets and find the gang.

Charles Bronson and Michael Winner return for this powerful sequel with more violence, There has been different cuts to this film and was toned down alot due to the two rape scenes, by then its pratically screaming at the tv egging on Kersey. There is a great shootout scene with kersey and Inspector Ochoa (Vincent Gardenia) against the thugs. Jill Ireland (Bronson's Wife) stars along side as the girlfriend journalist and Laurence Fishburne as one of the punks.

Gardenia's line to Kersey at the end of that shootout is pure class.

Some of the good lines seem to be from the police to Kersey

Death Wish 3
Shriker: creeps killing creeps, be like before Mr Vigilante.
