Glad someone else rates Sister Sara, it's overlooked a lot but i really like it, and i agree about the score too.

J.D.'s Revenge (1976)
Blaxploitation thriller about J.D., a gangster in the 40's, who is killed after being wrongfully accused of killing his sister. Fast forward thirty years and we meet Ike. A mild-mannered law student, Ike, is persuaded by his wife to go out on a night out for their friends' first anniversary. During the night out, they decide it would be fun to visit a hypnotist. Ike is one of the volunteers. During the performance, Ike is possessed by the spirit of J.D., in which he gradually takes on J.D.'d behaviour, dress sense and mannerisms, becoming extremely violent and seeking revenge on the people responsible for he and his sister's deaths. This film is very entertaining. The pacing is perfect, Glynn Turman is absolubtely brilliant as Ike/possessed Ike in a Jekyll/Hyde performance. Louis Gossett Jr. is also very good as an energetic priest who J.D. has a history with. I struggle to find any real complaints about this film. Maybe it could have been a little longer, to give a little more development between three of the characters (any more will head into spoiler territory). It also flashes back too many times to the cow having its throat cut, but it didn't bother me too much. Not for the squeamish. I loved this! 8/10

unnamed.jpg When a murderous Grizzly gets sick of his fish and berry diet he fancies something new to break the monotony of his daily routine. Once he gets the taste of human flesh he just can't get enough so he hits the national park where he knows there are plenty of dumbass tourist camping and straying off the trail. Will it be easy pickings for this 8 foot beast hell to the yeah it will be. The park ranger gathers his men together to track and kill the bear but the mayor goes public and every drunken redneck hunter and wannabe hero shows up in town to claim the prize hampering the park ranger and putting even more lives in danger. Love this film it's just so much fun and i always love a film where nature gets its own back on the human race. There is blood and gore a plenty with limbs and faces getting ripped off with reckless abandon this grizzly is having a blast and i was having just as much fun and it kept reminding me of a lovely steak i had for dinner earlier i bet he would of enjoyed the pepper sauce i had with his meat 8/10

Watched the Donner cut which I prefer too the normal version, it gets rid of the pointless Paris scene and connects the first film, with one of the missiles in that being responsible for freeing Zod. Lois suspecting Clark is better in this version, but the scenes with supermans mother from the original version I found better than the ones with his farther added here. 8/10 This is where it starts going down hill, the whole slapstick bits just didn't work and Pryor was terrible miscast. Because of the vastly reduced budget we never got see what the film was going to be, a story involving Brainiac. 6/10 It really is a product of its time, with its anti nuclear message and it's definitely a cannon movie. But sadly it's quite boring it's well over half time before anything happens. 5/10 Might have bit of a bad rep, but it's superior to what followed , the story might not be the greatest but unlike man of steel it captures the spirit of superman and the Reeves movies, it's a shame Routh didn't get another go as he was actually pretty decent and found him better than anyone that followed , but he did get too play the role once more in crisis on infinite earths and for me was the best thing in it, felt like the man of steel and captured the spirit of Reeves perfectly. 7/10 Now watching maniac cop. |

I did not like the comedy in the theatrical cut. Zod, Ursa and Non are treated like a joke instead of the murderous trio they are. Quote:

Last 7 Films Watched An American Werewolf In Paris Some American Tourists go to Paris where one of them falls in love with a local woman who happens to be a Werewolf. Not a bad movie, would have been better if An American Werewolf In London hadn't existed. The Soundtrack didn't really fit in well though. Recoil Gary Daniels is a Policeman who kills a Teenager who was part of a robbery crew. However a Mob Boss is the Teen's Father who exacts revenge which means Daniel's swears revenge also. A P/M Entertainment film full of shootouts and car chases, a lot of fun. Fist Of Honor Sam Jones is a Mob Enforcer who is caught up in a war between 2 Mob Factions whilst in the start of a truce. A very watchable film if you're into these things. The Spy Who Loved Me Bond has to team up with a Russian Spy in order to stop a villain based undersea. A fun Bond film which has one of the best Bond Theme Songs. We Summon The Darkness 3 religious Teens abduct 3 other Teens in order to complete the task ordered by a religious leader played by Johnny Knoxville. An entertaining Horror film where it was a shame that Knoxville wasn't in it much as I thought he played his role well. Maybe if there is a sequel, he's in it more. Moonraker Bond is back tackling a Billionaire who wants to recreate Noah's Ark from Space. I believe that this is the introduction of Jaws (I liked that he found a Girlfriend) Interesting film but a little too long for my liking. Cold Harvest Set in a post apocalyptic world, Gary Daniels is a Bounty Hunter who is after the man who killed his identical brother. Not bad but not great either. |

Dead Men Walk. 1943. A small town doctor, notices something odd about his twin brother and thinks he is a devil worshiper and kills him. Now the twin is back and plans to seek revenge. This was a decent low budget horror flick with it's dark grainy atmosphere that can make it more chilling. George Zucco plays dual roles as Lloyd and Elwyn Clayton, one good and one evil brother and his performance is on top notch form. Dwight Frye stars as Zolarr who seems to be the assistant that almost resembles Renfield from Dracula or Igor from Frankenstein. At 64 minutes the film did have that feeling that it can go on for a bit longer but still enjoyable to watch.
