It's probably the blackest of all black comedies.

Alec Guinness (rightfully) receives a lot of praise for his multirole performance, but I think Dennis Price is absolutely magnificent in the lead role.

@iluvdvd's

Was Johnny Guitar any good?

Supposed to be quite infamous due to Joan Crawford's performance.

The Slaughter Tapes (2011)

Three documentary makers decide to make a doc about the cheaper side of the porn industry. As they delve deeper into things they stumble upon what could possibly be a snuff film.

This part found footage film is dire. For 75 of it's 91 minute runtime it's a case of talking heads and long car journeys. It's not violent, it barely registers as soft porn and it certainly isn't a horror film. Poorly acted without any pay off whatsoever.

Stay well away from this one.

Haven't done this in a while so it's about time I shared my latest viewings with y'all...

My personal highlights of these past 40 movies, have to be...

• The Hallow - EXCELLENT Irish folklore horror film and the tweet-a-long I hosted with the Fetch gang was awesome, as always.
  

Couldn't agree with this one more, The Hallow is a fantastic creature flick with some excellent old school practical fx.

Suspected Person (1942)

Following a $50k heist in New York a couple of the suspected robbers escape to England in search of the money they believe is with their former accomplice Jim Raynor (Clifford Evans). Unfortunately for Raynor, Scotland Yard (including William 'Billy' Hartnell) are also on his and the cash's trail.

A solid if unspectacular British B-picture, similar in style to the Film Noir coming out of America at the time. Long coats and wide brimmed trilby's the required fashion, night clubs with chanteuse the preferred entertainment and lots of shooting from the hip both verbally and ballistically.

After a slowish start the film kicks into gear in it's second half with a lot of double crossing, to'ing and fro'ing on late night trains and a suspenseful, bullet strewn climax

The Network dvd looks and sounds splendid.

I think The Pink Panther Strikes Again is the best Pink Panther film.
