Dogs of Hell (Rottweiler). 1983.

A pack of dogs trained by the U.S. Army to hunt humans escape from a cargo truck and begin to terrorize a small mountain community.

Filmed in 3-D, director Worth Keeter manages to take man's best friends and turn them into uncontrollable savages in this dim light cheap horror that was entertaining. Earl Owensby plays the local sheriff who tries to protect his community from a pack of crazed dogs that are highly trained to hunt and kill. The film isn't any different to the film Dogs except it's only one breed, there is some tension built up very slowly and done well with some good make-up effects.

American Made (2017)

A lively and fast moving film by Doug Liman starring Tom Cruise, in a departure from his day job, as American pilot Barry Seal who was enlisted by the CIA to transport weapons to Nicaragua in the early 1980's.

A movie similar in style to say, the Johnny Depp movie Blow (2001) with it's crackling energy and speedy pace. There are escapades with the Colombian drug cartels, more cash than anyone can deal with, an eventual arrest back on American soil only to be freed by a certain Governor Clinton and the Reagan administration, the whole thing would be absurd were it not based on a true story.

The film has a cool 80's vibe and despite the seriousness of the drug trafficking at the heart of the story - We even see Nancy Reagan's 'Just Say No' speech - there's a breeziness about it and a lot of humour along the way.

Recommended.

Friday The 13th

This is the 1980 original where Camp Councilors preparing to re-open a Camp are murdered by a mysterious killer.

Starring Kevin Bacon, this was the 1st of many Friday The 13th Movies however this is the 1st time I've seen this and to be honest I found it dull and boring. I prefer The Burning, which has a similar storyline but is definitely more entertaining.

A Breed Apart

Rutger Hauer is the Vietnam Veteran who lives remotely on a Island and protects the wildlife from poachers. Powers Boothe is a Mountain Climber hired by a reclusive millionaire played by Donald Pleasence to steel rare Bald Eagle Eggs for his private collection which are on the Island. Kathleen Turner co-stars.

On You Tube, I like watching the trailer reels from VHS Rental Videos (Especially ones from the 80's and from obscure distributers) the trailer for this film appeared on one of these reels and I managed to order a copy (From Spain) and it is a entertaining film. Hauer plays his role well.

With the cast this film has, I think this would be perfect for a Arrow or Eureka release.

I need to go back to watching some movies. Been about 7 weeks since I saw one, which was DEBS (which I do love). I was having a great run with movies in the first few months of this year and then got completely derailed...

Problems with the neighbours wasn't it?

WATERLOO (1970)

A big budget flop at the time of release.
For me, the movie is great with some awesome battle scenes. I love the aerial shots of the British Infantry squares when the French Calvary attack.

A book on the making of the movie to be released next year.

205th anniversary of the battle yesterday.

Totally agree on Friday the 13th watching paint dry would be more interesting

Friday 13th is massively overrated. Jason Lives and Takes Manhattan are the only good Friday movies.

If I remember correctly, A Breed Apart was absolutely butchered or not actually finished.

Regarding A Breed Apart, I couldn't tell you about it being butchered or unfinished but the Hauer/Boothe scene at the end seemed rushed and anti-climatic.

I cant handle all this Friday The 13th bashing
