A very dark film Louise Fletcher as the grandmother is a bitch of a character. It's one I haven't seen in years I forgot so much about it. Still a brilliant film.

Kong Skull island


I really enjoyed this a monster action film done right , the action scenes where well executed and not ridiculously Ott , style and tonne of the film was spot on , apart from the photographer surviving it wasn't too predictable to who would live or die , and glad the film didn't just focus all on them v Kong and added a bit more detail and depth into the film and that Kong was least of their worries for survival but what was out there was. And also glad they didn't add pointless and ridiculous humour for the sake of it , because sometimes that can ruin a decent film While this was done right its no classic but its definitely up there amongst some of the best films in recent years compared to what's out there and make a refreshing change from marvel and DC superhero films but defiantly one worthy of adding to your collection, this would have been really good to watch on big screen .

I also rate this very highly and put is one of the reference quality discs to showcase a 4K setup. If you didn't wait until the end of the credits, it might be worth putting the disc back in and seeing what you missed!

That's a weird thing to do. You missed something which cues up a sequel:

Bear Island. A scientific team head to a remote island that once served as HQ to Nazi U-boats during World War II to study climate change, only to find conspiracy and murder somehow linked to the island's dark past awaiting them. This entertaining late 70s thriller based on the Alastair McLean novel is bouyed by the spectacular and atmospheric location as well as an excellent cast including Donald Sutherland, Vanessa Redgrave, Christopher Lee and Lloyd Bridges (though I must confess to having difficulty taking the latter seriously after Airplane and the Hot Shots movies ). A solid start to my 2019 movie watching!

This is all i'm saying.

Recommended, but with caution advised.

Alien 2 On earth.

A space ship crashes into the sea after a failed mission and the astronauts have disappeared. and meanwhile a bunch of potholers, including the foxy psychic thelma(belinda mayne), are exploring some caves and end up getting picked off my blue alien rocks that turn into cretures that look like glove puppets made out of liver.

directed by some chap that I have never heard of Ciro ippolito, this is one of the more average films from Italian cult cinema and is the poor cousin of the supperior Contamination.
The main problem I have with the film is that its too much set in the caves, and after a while it gets a bit boring with too much wandering about. however as is always the case with these Italian films its not a total disaster, the gore effects when you do get some are quite well done with a gory decapitation and eye goughing, and the score from oliver Onions is quite groovey too. and when the film does eventually get out of the caves the atmosphere is quite eerie in the final scenes.
And not to forget that actress Belinda mayne is rather cute too and very easy on the eye. and also look out for Italian horror director michele soavi co-starring as well.

not too bad overall, but definately no classic 69 out of 100.
