Tango & Cash (1989, Andrei Konchavolsky)
From the Faux-tlmeyer score to the screamingly insincere lip service to current events, this is Hollywood at it's tawdry best. Brion James' accent still screams "international incident!!"....the unPC script....Jamie Gertz's Sheila E impersonation...the cloying and clunky ending. Lawdy!!
Twas nice to see real FX again though...crash..smash...boom etc.

Next up Assassins!

Hush

Tbh i never heard of this until watching with a friend on netflix.
Boy was i blown away, dont know if this got a cinema release but i rather films like this be shown at the cinema and given more publicity, I for one would have gone and last film i bothered to see at cinema was raid 2.
a book writer hides herself from public out the way in a cabin in the woods to write her next story.
It doesnt bring anything new but its these type of films this prove horror/thriller/slasher isnt dead and breaths new life into these type of films like it follows. The women is deaf and enjoying life until a stranger shows up and terrorises her. Also like the fact from time to time they silence the whole scene for a few seconds to make us feel from her point of view. Bit like The strangers but one on one.
Type of film that grabs you at times like a sugar rush, and at times doesnt let go, a roller coaster ride, if not seen a highly recomended watch.

It was made for Netflix or distributed by them, so it premiered there. I really enjoyed it as well.

The Intruder (1953)

Bond director Guy Hamilton was cutting his teeth in this early directorial effort about a former colonel of a tank regiment who has now lost touch with his men but is unknowingly paid a visit by one of them in his home.

Starring the always excellent Jack Hawkins as the colonel, Hamilton tells the story of Ginger Edwards (Michael Medwin) and how his life is in ruins following the end of the war and why he's taken up burglary. The story unfolds mainly in flashback as a series of conversations between Hawkins and the men who were under his command.

Hamilton excels during a couple of fine action sequences as British tanks come under heavy fire in Normandy, but it's the human aspect that wins through in the end in this absorbing drama.

The Network dvd looks and sounds very impressive.

Highly recommended.
