The Monster of Camp Sunshine

Odd ball nudist camp film from 1964 that has a whole heap of cool looking New York women smoking fags and flashing their boobs and bums out in the woods. Add in a handyman turned monster, stock footage of world war 2 battle scenes and a bloke with a Tommy gun in his underpants and there are worse ways to spend 90 minutes of your time.

I have just watched this classic movie based on the short novella The Body by Stephen King.

4 boys, tough guy Chris (River Phoenix) sensitive Gordie (Will Wheaton), Hyper daft Teddy (Corey Feldman) and wimpy Verne (Jerry O Connell). Decide to leave their small town under a lie to their parents to look at the dead body of 12 year old Ray Bower who went missing. On their trail is Ace Merrill (Killer Sunderland) and his gang who want the claim that they found the body.

The is a comedy drama of true friendship and coming of age adventure. This film is a 10 out of 10.

Excellent film, pretty damn near bang on adaptation of King's novella too, from the same book as the Shawshank Redemption and Apt Pupil, only part not adapted is the Breathing Method (another great story)

It's not cut according to the BBFC. SINT - SAINT | British Board of Film Classification

Honeymoon

Rather good 2 people in a cabin in the woods sci fi horror hybrid. Basically a study on love, marriage and divorce with slime. Impressive stuff.

Different Seasons is one of my fav King books, Apt Pupil is probably my favourite story of his as well, the written story is so screwed up vs the film!

Stand By Me might be in my top 10 films of all time!

I've never seen the film version of Apt Pupil, but the story is great

Tremors
In the small town of Perfection 2 locals try to leave to make for a better life. unfortunately for them they note somethings afoot every time they try to leave. they then realise that there are giant ass worms and they decide to warn the town and then have to fight for survival.
for what this film is, it's great the acting is great and the giant worms stand out. the best characters in the film are the gun enthusiasts.
8/10

Watched The Dark Tapes at mates behest. Compendium FF flick. 2nd and 4th stories were the most effective, some nice wee twists made this slightly more enjoyable to peruse.

Assassination Classroom: The Graduation (2016, Eiichuro Hasumi)
Fairly wacked out Japanese film based on a TV show. Gotta kill them all!!
Not quite...but this might have worked better without the rather distracting flashback sequence.

Breakheart Pass (1975, Tom Gries)
Bronson plays a man "without violence" . The wife plays the totty, Richard Crenna, Ben Johnson, Charles Durning and Ed Lauter take up the slack. Written by A Maclean, you know what you're getting. For a PG rated film, there is a fair amount of violent death in it. IMO. Lawdy!
