And John Travolta is fantastic in this movie. De Palma's best film along with Phantom of the Paradise. As the 80's wore on he became an increasingly hit and miss film maker which often makes me forget how great his early films were...

Son Of Frankenstein (1939) Another classic Universal and Karloff's last appearance as the monster. The lightning storm and petrified landscape at the start of the film creates a awesome atmosphere. Bela Lugosi shines as Ygor. The Time Machine (1960) The original and the best version of HG Wells novel. The scenes in which Rod Taylor watches the fashions in a dressmaker's window change as he flies forward in time are just great.Yvette Mimieux looks stunning in her girl of the future role and is later seen in 1979's The Black Hole. Awesome film. |

Watched The Gingerdead Man last night. I like this movie. Decent enough effects, characters you can care about, bar one IMO. And the short running time helps you stick with it until the end. Got the odd laugh or two, whether intentional or otherwise |

DAVID ICKE AT THE OXFORD UNION DEBATING HALL. Crazy man Icke drops all the Royal Family as space lizards shit and delivers a fairly reasoned 2 hour plus talk about media control and overarching political agendas. He's a seasoned speaker who doesn't refer to notes for the the whole talk. Strangely he ends his talk by quoting Bill Hicks. I must confess I miss the lizards, though Icke briefly mentions before the speech of meeting Ted Heath who's eyes turned black during their interaction!

"Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains" A scatter gun attack on the music industry, the ethics of punk rock and selling out for fame. This starts out real well with sultry badass Diane Lane channelling her anger at her mother's death into sub the Shaggs performance based punk rock before it becomes just another story of the rocky road to stardom. Yes, it swipes a playful paw at various rock film standards but the main point of interest is seeing Sex Pistols, Steve Jones and Paul Cook joined by the Clash's Paul Simonon as Ray Winstone's backing band. Dated but fun. Various Tubes are in it too.
