JeruZalem (The Paz Bros)

FF by numbers. Slightly less witless than As Above, So Below ...but that's nae saying much. Two friends change their plans totally on a whim, and pay dearly for it. Would be more charitable, but one of the menu screens is a spoiler, so there is that cough). Am dying to listen to the comm for this one.

I thought it was refreshingly different to the usual running round woods screaming with the camera pointing at the floor for 90 mins.

I thought it was refreshingly different in both locale and style to the usual running round woods screaming with the camera pointing at the floor for 90 mins.

That's as maybe, but I have trawled through an awfy lot of these films, and whilst the cityscape made a change, twasn't anything else lifting it out of the mire, but that pales into insignificance when you read this review....



The Apple (1980, Menahem Golam)

Pray to the idol of your choice before entering this orchard. Literally mindboggling. Beyond parody. The songs are all awful. Vaguely glam/disco vibe. Hysterical dialogue. Highly recommended


As you will see nowt like it this year. NOWT

Schoolboy Bill Rohan sees first hand growing up in London at the announcement of WWII, and the blitz that occurred along with his two sisters and mother while his dad signs up.

This is a semi autobiography based on events that director John Boorman experienced and brings his childhood to the screen.

There is great acting from Sarah Miles as the mother who does her best to keep things together and Sammi Davis as the older rebellious daughter who tries to keep going with her teen years. Ian Bannen stars as the cheerful grumpy grandad. The film does have its dramatic and thrilling moments along with some comedy moments but definitely one to watch. 8 out of 10.

I do recommend the sequel Queen And Country

[Crimson Blade]

Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker (1982).

Superb 80's slasher film starring Susan Tyrrell in one of her most unforgettable performances.

After his parents are killed in a horrific accident, Billy goes to live with his Aunt Cheryl. Forward 14 years and Billy is at high school with a girlfriend and star of the basketball team. With hopes of a scholarship, Cheryl takes drastic measures to stop him from leaving her, even if she has to turn to murder.

I've watched this a few times, and it's always a lot of fun. And it's a really strong psychological horror film as well.
To say Susan Tyrrell is over the top in this film is an understatement.

One of the most unique films i own in my collection.

Big Bo Svenson also co-stars as a bigoted cop, who's also pretty unhinged himself.

Very highly recommended. And the Code Red blu-ray looks terrific.
8/10.

Don't understand the love for 'Ms. Brown's Boys' either. That made me laugh even less than 'OFAH' did!!

All the people who are stating how unfunny and poor Abbott and Costello are, have fallen into a huge trap - that of looking at them through 2018 eyes instead of looking at them in a historical context. During the 1940's and 50's, their work on radio film and television made them the most popular comedy team in America, if not the world. They were the highest paid entertainers during WW2

In 1942, Warner Bros.'s Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoon unit produced a number of animated features depicting the duo as cats, named 'Babbit and Catstello.' One of these cartoons, 'A Tale of Two Kitties,' is famous for introducing the character of Tweety Bird to the world

Their routine 'Who's On First' was named as the routine 'best comedy sketch of the 20th Century' by Time Magazine in 1999

and has been parodied numerous times, including (but not limited to) Johnny Carlson, The Animaniacs, The Simpsons and Family Guy. It seems that even Alexa knows the routine

Bud and Lou may not be as popular as Stan and Ollie, or Chaplin, Keaton, Lewis etc, but no one can really take away their place in comedy history

They still suck though. And I was born in 1968. Some people you just don't take to.

The Horror at 37,000 Feet 1973

On a flight from London to America, a architect and his wife transport a alter from an old abby unaware its possessed by a demon. Soon the passengers start battling with good against evil.

This is on of those made for TV movies that's starred William Shatner as a drunk ex priest and Chuck Connor as the pilot.

The film does start off fairly decent and the pace goes smoothly then all hell breaks loose. The film must have been on a budget as the demon is never seen but appears as a cold ice smoke which is something different, I think the scary part is watching Shatner's over acting skills in a horror, to the point of begging him to be killed quickly or Scotty beaming him into oblivion. 5 out of 10
