Mark Kermode’s review of The Nun is quite funny.

Small Time Crooks.

Woody allen plays a loser who plans to pull off a big bank robbery by tunnelling underneath it. as a cover, he rents the vacant shop next door and opens it selling cookies so as not to arose suspicion while digging. The robbery all goes wrong.
but his wife Frenchy(Tracy Ullman) who runs runs the shop discovers that her cookies are a surprise smash, so much in fact that it makes them incredibly rich.

This is very entertaining and one of Woody Allen's funniest films since Mighty Aphrodite. and i much prefer it when Woody is doing straight comedy like he used to in all his early films.
Tracy Ullman is hilarious and very good too, and Hugh grant who co stars as the posh con man.
Some funny dialogue as well like when he says to his wife, What would you say if I told you you were married to a genius?
and she answers, I'd say I must be a bigamist.

I highly recommend this great comedy gem and award 85.5 out of 100.

The Shortcut (2009)

Two brothers discover a rarely used shortcut through woods which crosses the land of a sinister farm owned by a man the adults of the town would rather not talk about.

The Shortcut is an odd film. It's perfectly serviceable, has a few creepy moments and some scenes of tension. It's well acted and well made yet i just wouldn't recommend it even though there's fundamentally nothing at all wrong with it and as the credits rolled i knew i'd enjoyed it. It seemed to lack some sort of edge to it all and even it's shocking finale seemed a bit flat... yet strangely watchable.

It's the ultimate average horror film.

Carry on Abroad. 1972

A group of holidaymakers head to the Spanish resort Elsbells, from the start its a nightmare that turns to laughter.

This one is like carry on meets fawlty towers, this one is run by Pete Butterworth and Hattie Jaques. This does have some good one liners and cross communications with guests trying to complain but end up complaining to each other. There is the usual carry on gang, Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Bernard Bresslaw, Barbara Windsor, Kenneth Connor. This was the last carry on movie for Charles Hawtrey as he went into semi retirement and also partially drunk throughout the movie. 8 out of 10.

Funny film, Mr B. I would have given you a 'like' but it's not working for me again.

I managed to get a box set of them a couple of years ago when it was on offer.

Carry on Camping and Carry on Screaming were two that i particularly enjoyed. But they're all good fun.

The combination of Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Barbara Windsor and Hattie Jacques was always hilarious.

Has anyone seen the Karloff film The Snake People?

I think it's the last one he made and isn't supposed to be up to much. Anyone any input?

I did try to watch it on YouTube but switched it off about 20-30 mins into it, it wasn't Korloff's greatest movie IMHO,.
