Space Cop (Bauman/ Stoklasa, 2016) I like a laugh. This 'self produced' effort hits the spot. Featuring the most un Dredd like law enforcer, this fish out of water tale made me guffaw a lot. Mr Dynamite! The Rise Of James Brown (2014, Alan Gibney) Biopic. Great live footage. Semi warts n all. Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning (John Hyams) Dolph and JCVD and Scodd Adkins!!  Result. Decent enough conspiracy style actioner ... some brutality.

It's a scream. Apart from the technical achievement, it's a decent sci fi comedy. A buddy film for sure, but I look forward to rewatching it!

| Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005) Saying this is the best of the prequels, obviously isn’t saying much. But despite carrying over some of the problems from the previous two films, it has a lot of great things going for it that outweigh the bad, and is a satisfying Star Wars experience overall, and is the only one of the three to earn countless re-watches from me. It still wasn’t up there with the original trilogy, but it’s close to being on par with Return of the Jedi, but just not quite. It’s not quite as good as Rogue One and The Last Jedi either, but I do like it a tad more than The Force Awakens. ***1/2 out of *****

Saw Knight and Day on tv last night. Decent enough, if laughably overblown tech/spy thriller. Disposable entertainment.

Letter To Brehznev (1985, Chris Bernard) A scouse lass and a Ruzzian zailor fall in love in the 80s. Now a fascinating time capsule, this rampant Socialist propaganda is now quite tame. Flatly fimed (and told tbh) this encapsulates a whole period in UK cinema history for me ... slightly cheeky yet somewhat worthy in nature.

| Amuck (1972) Greta Franklin (Barbara Bouchet) gets a job with a famous but eccentric novelist (Farley Granger) as his personal secretary. Unbeknown to Granger and his equally eccentric wife (Rosalba Neri) Greta is actually investigating the disappearance of her sister who she believes died at the hands of the couple. As far as giallo cinema goes Amuck isn't at the top end, however it is a reasonably entertaining mystery which improves following a fairly tepid first half. The film sports one or two decent set pieces such as Bouchet being pursued whilst duck hunting across the marshy waters surrounding Venice but it's the eroticism that mainly stands out. Amuck is an absolute delight for lovers of female flesh. Both Bouchet and Neri are involved in several nude scenes including a slo-mo lesbian encounter. There's even a feel of the Gothic about it as Bouchet wafts around the big old house in nightwear even more flimsy and transparent than the last. The film unlike most gialli isn't murder centric. Most of the nefarious deeds involve drugged out sex and rape so fans of the sexier side of Italian cinema should find much to enjoy. It's a while since i saw a nice and sleazy giallo that's new to me (The awful Play Motel doesn't count) so Amuck was a refreshing change. |

Heavy Metal (1981, Gerald Potterton) Compendium film based on French animation?? It reminds me of The Seven Deadly Sins ahem. Enjoying it so far! The style is very Bakshi cough.

Ahem. Thy second segment had some of the worst animation outside of Filmways imo  . Rather violent for an Occidental production to be sure ....
