I thought Tremors 2 was almost as good as the first. It actually had a great story. I think if Bacon had returned, it would've been just as good.

Livid. (2011). The second film from French co-directors Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury. I was really looking forward to this after the assault and battery on the senses and nerves that was their debut Inside. Now, Inside is perhaps my favourite horror film from the 21st century so expectations were high even though i felt Livid could never live up to the brilliance of that film. Fortunately i was right. Livid can't live (ahem) with Inside but it is a mighty fine piece of horror in its own right. Essentially the film is a vampire film with a difference, but it also encompasses Gothic horror with its haunted house style first half and psychological horror as well. Although a highly original film in its own right i felt the film makers gave a big nod to classic Italian horror especially Dario Argento and his seminal Suspiria. The film wouldn't seem perfect without some nasty stuff after seeing Inside , so Bustillo and Maury again deliver with some genuinely gruesome scenes which jolt you out of your seat and offer nice juxtaposition against some of the more beautiful examples of their art with the wonderful cinematography on offer. Highly recommended. |

Decided to start a season of Arrow Video screenings with Vamp which has been a favourite of mine since I caught the Moviedrome screening back in the late 80's. For me this film is endlessly rewatchable. Perfect evenings viewing. I then followed it up with Rampart, great cast make a largely unoriginal script interesting. Tomorrow I will continue my Arrow Video season followed by a trip to the cinema to see The Wall. |

Just started to watch the directors cut of Deep Red while the international cut is still fresh in my mind. Hang on, whats all these white specks on the opening sequence? Tell me those are supposed to be there!

THE PAPERBOY. Excellent, if at times wildly over the top, swamp noir that overflows with sexual and racial tensions. Highly recommended. SCARY STORIES. Three films from The Children's Film Foundation from the 70s and 80s. The first film in the set: "The Man From Nowhere" is a real treat, both charming and delightful in execution, it had me smiling from beginning to end. The other two "Haunters of the Deep" and "Out of the Darkness" are very good as well, especially the latter one which has some great inter play between the child actors. Highly recommended. |

EASY A. I don't know why it has taken me this long to watch this, I love smart teen comedies and this is just great. |

Just seen her smouldering as a gangsters moll in Gangster Squad (2013). A rather good account of the life of notorious LA mob boss Mickey Cohen. Josh Brolin plays the detective who recruits fellow officers to bring about an end to the crime lords reign of terror. I must admit it did seem like The Untouchables lite in places, yet the film had enough shoot outs and cool moments to garner repeat viewings.
