Bullet Train (2022, David Leitch)

A fun cast makes the most out of a mad situation. Recommended.

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Now almost twenty years later Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's horror comedy retains all it's brilliance especially in it's references to George A Romero's Dead films.

It's beautifully characterised and played and can i guess be watched as a pure comedy or a genuine horror film - Dylan Moran comes to an end every bit as stomach churning as Jo Pilato in Romero's own Day of the Dead (1985) - or like the majority of us, seen for what it is an excellent slice of black comedy horror.

I watched Hot Fuzz (2007), the second of Wright / Pegg's Cornetto trilogy on Sunday and thought it still far superior to The World's End (2013) (reviewed last week) but it doesn't come close to Shaun of the Dead. Although Timothy Dalton cuts one hell of a commanding figure compared to everyone else in Fuzz.

Crocodile Fury (1988, Ted Kingsbrook)

Witches! Vampires!! Crocodiles!!!
A sober look at poaching and its side effects :lol:
No, can't keep it up, it's a Godfrey Ho flick :rolleyes::laugh:
Sewn together from various sources, this one yet again defies description.
But I'll try.
You get ... a romantic subplot! Double crosses also feature. There's some spewing up, so keep that in mind!! :nod: The underwater sequences are something else :lol:

Tiger Claws 2 (1996, J. Stephen Maunder)

JSM does it again. A wildly stranger beast than its parent btw. Can't wait to see the third then.
Jahal Merhli is a lucky man. Zero charisma is a ... stumbling block in yer actual leading man and that know worrimean?
The ratio of the actual Rothrockery is in dwindle mode which just adds to an initial imapct of UHHHHH, reducing her to a few paltry "love interest" scenes :mmph: and some fight footage laterer. Fascinating in other ways, as Jahal now sports the patented Ken Olin look ;):lol: which does suit him more than the mullet tbh.
I digress.:rolleyes:
Another vanity project. Vanity would have improved it tbh :rofl:
Ahem. Review tomorrow then! :nod:

Tiger Claws 3 (2000, JSM)

Woooooooh mama.
First off, the 'rock looks mightily cheesed orf at the start of this one, no wonder as she barely lasts 20 minutes ahem. From then on a hairpiece takes centre stage. The plot? Sheeeesh. Madness. Then they spring the most cliched plot device in christendom :pound:
RECOMMENDED. :nod::rolleyes::pop2::lol:

Nope and I don't think I ever want too the trailer made it look absolutely shite and all the reviews say it's much worse than you can imagine!

I love the Munsters but looks like zombie has taking a big techno coloured turd all over it.

Replacements

When American Football players go on strike, a owner hires Coach, Gene Hackman and hires Replacement Players including Keanu Reeves and Jon Favreau. It's not bad but it seemed that it didn't know if it wanted to be a Comedy or a Drama.

Violence In A Women's Prison

Apparently part of the Emanualle Series, this one sees Laura Gesnar go undercover to report on the happenings going on at a Women's Prison. Kind of disappointed by this one as I heard that this was one of the better Women In Prison movies, however it just seemed run of the mill.

Seven

Now we're talking, one of my favorite movies and one that I wished I saw at the Cinema (Just to see the audience reactions) sees Detectives played by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman investigate a Serial Killer using the 7 Deadly Sins as inspiration.

What made this a novel Film experience was that this was the first Film I saw that never showed the actual killings (Except for Wrath) and just showed the aftermath. This also is intelligent along with some shocks and surprises (Sloth and Envy)

That ending, might be one of my favorites.

I saw Seven at the cinema and the scene where the peado corpse is not dead and screams absolutely shat my date at the time up, happy days.:cool: :clap:

Snap, I thought trailer looked awful, and I've only heard bad reviews with the odd exception saying they enjoyed it, and I'm not a huge fan of R Z films.
