Finished the evening off with hugely underrated zach galligan killer insect zombies meets the big chill 'classic' INFESTED. Usually about 75p on amazon if you havent seen it check it out. One or two of the effects look more than a little ropey but it makes the most out of what it has. Then I watched the commentary track on the synergy release of halloween 3. Kim newmans always interesting imo, just a shame the print looks inferior to the region 1 universal disc AND ITS STILL BLOODY CUT! |

Some thoughts about Tommy wot I've just watched Most frustrating cameo ever - Jack Nicholson in this movie. Movie icon at his peak (between Chinatown and The Shining no less) sharing a scene with another towering icon, Oliie Reed, and both have to sing in silly voices - Aaaarrrggh! Successive scenes of sadistic torture and child abuse dressed up as knockabout, musical comedy. Could only be a Ken Russell movie! Ann Margaret is amazing in this - I last saw her in a clip in Mad Men from the early 60s singing Bye Bye Birdie - what happened?! The greatest legacy of Ken Russell = he did not give a shit what people thought. This kind of movie will never be allowed to happen again, love it or hate it you must see it. |

BOOK OF ELI: brilliantly made post apocalyptic action drama that rocks a serious western style. A cross between Mad Max and Zatoichi set in the wild west of the future. Really good performances from Gary Oldman, Denzel Washington and Mila Kunis with some stunning cinematography and a good score. THE FUNHOUSE: Early 80s slice of teen horror hokum from Tobe Hooper, not the best of it's kind but still a fun film even if the first 40 minutes or so are just people at a carnival. SOLOMAN KANE: Entertaining if slightly muddled historical action fantasy based on the character created by Robert E. Howard. James Purefoy is great as soloman and there a good supporting cast that includes Pete Postlethwaite, Alice Krige, McKenzie Crook, Max Von Sydow and Jason Flemming. Worth a watch but is certainly no Game Of Throne. THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT: Entertaining adventure from Amicus and director Kevin Connor based on the book by Edgar Rice Burrows. Very dated special FX add to the charm of this film as does the ass kicking Doug Mclure. Great fun and well made. |
