Deadpool Went in with low expectations which where blowing out of the water, absolutely fantastic as Stephen said hilarious from the opening titles, it's a breath of fresh air from the usual PG13 superhero movies, it's got it all gore, romance , violence and sex. Never been a big fan of Ryan Reynolds but the character of deadpool was made for him. Loved all the little in jokes and this is one movie in which it isn't annoying when the lead character talks too the camera. Not laughed so hard at a movie for a long time. 9/10 |

Another Euro-double: The Bloodstained Lawn (Il prato macchiato di rosso) (1973) An odd trio of rich aristocrats entice people back to their extravagant home with the promise of drink and a good time. They then suck out their blood using a 'vampiritic robot' constructed by the eccentric lady of house's brother and bottle it, passing it off as wine. Whilst the first hour is a little slow going as all the parties are introduced and time is spent getting to know each character, with the intent of feeling sorry for them when they eventually meet their bottled demise, there is still a peppering of psychedelia throughout the proceedings with some general nudity and mild debauchery to keep you interested. Marina Malfatti is the stand-out performer playing her role as icy hostess to perfection. Not quite as bizarre as it sounds from the synopsis, but still a trippy slice of Euro-sleaze nonetheless. 61/100 The Killer is One of Thirteen (El asesino está entre los trece) (1973) A sort of spin-off of the Agatha Christie 'Ten Little Indians' tale, instead we have a wealthy widow who invites a group of her friends to her luxurious home in order to try and find out which of them killed her husband. However, the guests start to die off one by one at the hands of a mysterious black gloved killer. A rather bloody Spanish gialli (once it gets going that is) from Hunchback of the Morgue director Javier Aguirre that keeps you guessing right up until the climax, although the first hour of the film seems content to deal with all the potential perpetrators' shady pasts therefore creating a whole barrel of veiled potential red herrings for the viewer to chow down on. Paul Naschy also crops up as a chauffeur, but unfortunately is not really given anything much to do (other than take his shirt off of course...) Overall an enjoyable enough film once the killing kicks off. 64/100 |
