Not as good as the Leones', Unforgiven or High Plains Drifter - but I still really like it:

Mark Of The Vampire (1935, Tod Browning)
The two Lionels (Barrymore & Atwill) fight it out to wipe out an evil curse. Or do they? An odd wee film, with slightly flimsy plotting cough. Will rewatch at some point.

Transporter 3 (Olivier Megaton, 2008)
Frank's back, and the fists are flying. Pity about the romantic nonsense....

The Fantasist (1986)

An odd one this. A film that doesn't know if it wants to be a disturbing psychological adult film or a twee, cack handed, cliche ridden Irish love in. After a stylishly savage opening ten minutes the film becomes rather dull for the next hour treating us to stereotypical shots of people downing Guinness, driving along lush country lanes etc etc. Then we have a very good last ten minutes where the film culminates in a terrific kinky game of cat and mouse between aggressor and victim with the tables potentially turning as to who is who.

Considering this came from the man behind The Wicker Man it was disappointing to say the least.

In the end The Fantasist is a film i'll have to watch again to decide if i liked it or not.

Edit - I'm not having a go at the Irish in this post just the cliche's which go as far as racial stereotypes.

devils rain

i really enjoyed, this and cant understand why it got such a panning on release, it has it flaws but there are lot worse films out there many that got good reviews that are a lot worse than this.

found it very atmospheric and creepy and loved the melting effects. was a surprise to see Shatner give a performance that was not over the top. also had a lot of well knowing faces. a pleasant surprise that just goes to show critics dont know what there are talking about sometimes. 8/10

Bad Grandpa saw this on a small portable DVD player sat in back of a van, would have enjoyed more watching on a large TV sat in comfort at hone , either way if this down make u laugh smile or chuckle a few tines then you've got no sense of humour , recommended. Doesn't go to overboard or get to the ridiculous stage most of it except a few scenes are just light hearted plain and simple humour ..

Gettin' It. (2007)

Comedy about a young chap who unwittingly gains the reputation of having a foot long cock and before long comes to the attention of his towns strippers, milfs and horny housewives who all look on him as a challenge.

Aside from the final twenty minutes where the film makers attempt to deliver a more meaningful story line, Gettin' It is a pathetically puerile teen wank fest where the camera leers at butts and breasts.... Sorry to be superficial but i liked it.

Bill and teds excellent adventure.

Can't believe this is 25 years old, god I feel old. But it's a great film that always brings a smile to my face , basically probably the best thing Keanu has done, the role of Ted suits him perfectly. A great feel good comedy with two very likable lead characters . Party on dudes 9.5/10


Tried watching the conjuring turned of after 40 minutes not bad but just seemed to lack something, will try again this weekend.

Now watching the curse with Will Wheeeeatoooon!!! If enough time maybe a classic 50s/ 60s sci fi film.

The Conjuring is a great film, well worth having another go at

How could I forget. Who doesn't want scream aargh while shooting a gun in the air. The thing with the conjuring was busy making something to eat and my full attention was not on it, probably best to give it your full attention.
