i used to really like diary, but after subsequent viewings it lost its appeal
completely agree with you on survival

Martin Blank a disillusioned hitman ends up taking a job in his old home town that he left ten years ago leaving his childhood sweetheart alone at the prom.

As well as contending with a rival hitman( Dan Aykroyd ) who has sent the FBI after him and another hitman, these are not the worst of his problems as its the 10 year high school reunion and has to deal with the girl he left alone all those years ago! Enjoyable none typical romantic comedy with a killer soundtrack. 9/10


Now watching Dawn of the Dead in honor of Romero.

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

****1/2 out of *****

Twas The Crazies for me as I had just recently revisited NOTLD.


Terrible year.





Sharknado 3 (2015, Anthony C Ferrante)
Tis everything that the trailer promised. A plot and logic free melee of ludicrous dialogue and indelible imagery. Just like Micheal Bay's films Recommended to those who like to laugh. Which brings me to.......


Fifty Shades Of Gray
To which I can only say
Kill
All
Humans



Involved in this Ikea brand style pap.
WHY I watched it is still beyond me. This was to Marnie as Tom & Jerry is to Maus
Did remind me of Sonatine at one point...though that may have been the stillness of it.


Howard The Duck (1986, Willard Hyuck)
Yes. Or rather no thank you. Still as cringeworthy as it was at the time, the most shameful thing being the budget. Sleazier than I remembered, the only saving grace as always was Jeffrey Jones.

Alien Covenant 2017

After 10 years of Prometheus a crew of the spaceship Covenant arrive on a uncharted planet with the motive to establish a colony.

Alien was the all time classic, Aliens was a great Sequel, Alien 3 wasn't great but good. Alien Resurrection was bad. Ridley Scott brought back the Franchise with Prometheus. I wouldn't say this film is great but good the special effects are good and the xneomorph creatures are different. 6out of 10.

Yep, same here.
First time I saw the film was in 1981 on the BBC2 Horror Double Bills sharing the bill with Isle Of The Dead (1940). Great film.

The Italian version (included in Arrows set called Wampyr) is worth a watch too, I watched that version a few months back because I hadn't bothered before, despite owning the set for years
