It Chapter 2 The losers club returns to Derry to battle against Pennywise after he reawakens. While it certainly lacks the tension of the first film it is still works for the most part. Bill Skarsgard is great as Pennywise and the cast playing the losers were great. The length wasn't even an issue. Just a shame it lacked the tension building that the initial movie had (until the ****ing jump scares). Also no gangbang wtf?

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde 1931. Dr Henry Jekyll faces consequences when his dark side manifests itself in the form of Mr Edward Hyde after drinking a potion. Frederic March takes on the dual role of Jekyll and Hyde brilliantly, not quite close to the source novel but still a bit eerie and tense as the novel was. The camera work at the start was great as we see the character in his point of view playing the piano, as he seems to be a happy person and questioning his own hidden madness and dark ideas. The camera shots are well done as well as the slow transformation scene for the first time and March looking awkwardly and uncomfortable at the same time speaking as Hyde. There is some minor violence but limited and at the time questionable on how far the boundaries can be pushed. Well worth a watch and best viewed in the dark due to the lighting used.

A homage too those alien invasion b movies of the 50s with added teeth and gore . A meteorite crashes outside a small town and a creature emerges and sets about gobbling up the people living in a house, some great gore and unintentionally funny scenes. 8/10 Die Hard on a ship. A deranged ex CIA( Tommy Lee Jones) operate takes over USS Missouri with the help of its first officer ( Gary Busey) and sell its nukes to the highest bidder. Unlucky for them but luckily for the crew this ships cook is more than he appears to be . One the Seagals best. It's is strange to see Busey not the craziest person in the room. 9/10 Now watching Dark Angel. |

Deep Blue Sea 2 A shark conservationist heads to a secret lab to discover a pharmaceutical billionaire has upped the intelligence of bullsharks. They get out and shit goes down. This came out of the blue, it was alright but frankly the original was better bit gorier but nothing else. Looks more like an asylum shark movie than anything else. Probably the reason why Warner Bros cynically made this up. Sent from my PRA-LX1 using Tapatalk

Banana splits Don't get exactly what people expect from a film about a kids tv show from the 70s, people dressed up costumes as silly animals was hardly going to be a classic. It was clearly a film done with a decent enough budget it was silly fun, and enjoyable. Every now and again a film comes along that sparks a generation films done in that style, I think this was done right to extent it'll probably open a new generation off films turning kids tv shows into silly horror style. |

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Once in a while I do go to the pictures. To escape the heat, we wandered into a screening of this offering from the man who steals from everything he watches. Without delving into too much detail, it certainly made me laugh, whilst the drink I had had beforehand meant that the first hour sorted of "drifted" past me, it did rally to hold my attention. It's a love letter of sorts really. And he's not in it . Ahem. Not what you expected? Neither is the film.

The Leopard Man (1943) Not producer Val Lewton's nor director Jacques Tourneur's best film by any stretch of the imagination but it does have it's moments. Chiefly when a gypsy girl is forcibly locked outside and then attacked by an unseen assailant, believed to be the mythical leopard man, we then see her blood flow under the door and into the house. It's really well done and rather creepy. Hideaway (1995) A confusing muddle of a film. Jeff Goldblum is difficult to like or indeed care for, and the film lacks any sort of suspense or shocks. Some 80's style (not so) special effect dream like sequences occasionally blow away the boredom but on the whole this was a turgid, lumpen mess. |
