Everly (2014)

Fighting back after four years as a yakuza sex-slave, a woman (Salma Hayek) matches wits and weaponry with a legion of killers who are out to collect the bounty on the heads of her and her family.

Felt like I was watching a climax of an action movie ie Taken etc but lasted 90mins to do it.

So Long at the Fair (1950)

The 1889 Paris Exposition serves as the backdrop for this eerie mystery, in which English tourist Jean Simmons (No, not the one from Kiss) and her brother, David Tomlinson, visit the fair and retire to their separate hotel rooms for the night. Simmons arises the next day to discover her brother missing, a hotel full of staff who swear they've never heard of him and most oddly, his room is no longer there.

So Long at the Fair is a classy British mystery directed by a pre-Hammer Terence Fisher who gives the whole thing an extremely paranoid feel, very much them - the foreigners - and us - The British abroad. It's all quite slick and nicely paced. Simmons does well with the whole 'Am i losing my mind' approach and Dirk Bogarde is stoically heroic as the only person who believes her. Whilst the film isn't a horror by any stretch of the imagination it's certainly a dark thriller and the finale is wonderfully macabre.

I saw Blade Runner 2049 at the cinema today and thought it was superb. Denis Villeneuve has Ridley Scott's ability to create worlds and, with stunning cinematography from Roger Deakins, an amazing soundtrack and great performances, the fascinating story captivated me from beginning to end. It's a very BIG and LOUD film which is best seen at the cinema because it is a fully immersive viewing experience. I probably won't get a chance, but I would love to see it again on the big screen before buying the UHD Blu-ray Disc for home viewing.

Teenagers Battle The Thing (1958, Dave Flocker)
Yeah, well I would watch this .... 53 min in and still no teenagers
A precursor to the much funnier Night Of The Demon (80) ... a college prof and his 'mature' students wander into the woods looking for fossils. What they find can only be described as a walking roof insulation man. Well, that's what he looks like to me
Incredibly dull after a slightly gory opening..... so far.

I enjoyed After. Life which had a nude Christina Ricci on a slab for 90 minutes so this is also promising.
