Daughters Of Darkness (Harry Kummel) Languorous vampire tale. A young couple meet two women on a European tour whilst honeymooning. They aren't .... unfriendly certainly. But by gum, they take their time about it ahem. Look, I know as a Jess Franco fan I have no legs at all to stand on regarding "expressionistic" cinema. I KNOW But this has always bored me rigid. Revisiting didn't help. It doesn't help either that apparently twas made to put his arty farty colleagues' noses out of joint, so I never really "felt it", and this is probably why ... Give me a cloak and a scythe any day (or day for night tee hee) NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXT!!!

Downtown 1990 CBS Fox release starring a (After Top Gun and before E.R.) Antony Edwards and a (Before he got big) Forest Whitiker in a mis-matched Buddy Cop movie in which a demoted Cop teams up with a reluctant Detective in a downtrodden area in investigating the murder of his friend. Seen it all before really, it's o.k. however it does have a nice throat slashing scene and a scene where a villain gets thrown from a top of a moving car into a wood chipper and all the blood sprayed over all. Guessing that's how it earned it's 18 certificate. The Big Score Fred Williamson is a Detective who is accused of stealing a million dollars from a drugs raid by Police and Mobsters who go after him in order to get it back. Richard Roundtree and John Saxon also star. Not bad for a film from it's time (1983) Leviathan Peter Weller is the leader of a deep sea diving team in which they come across a sunken Russian ship which had a failed experiment on board. Obviously the team unwittingly picks up the monster and ends up killing the crew. This I believe was the 3rd of a bunch of this type of film (Abyss and Deep Star Six) and this is the better film. 3:15 A former gang member gets caught up in the middle again when his former gang accuse him of tipping off the Police after a raid at school. I love this type of movie and this was an excellent watch, I found it riveting even though The Principle had the same ending virtually (That film was released afterwards) Wings Of The Apache Nicholas Cage is a Fighter Pilot who is trained by Tommy Lee Jones to fly a Apache Helicopter against Drug Cartels. Sean Young also stars in this Top Gun vain of film. |

Tremors 2: Aftershocks. 1996. Earl is coerced to face Graboids again, this time in Mexico with self obsessed fan Grady, when things get too much they call in help from Burt then things change. The Tremors movies are not to be taken seriously and Tremors 2 is no different. It's a fun, light hearted monster movie that you can sit back and enjoy. Fred Ward and Michael Gross return from the first movie unfortunately Kevin Bacon didn't return and do try to keep the humour with the cast. There is partly bad CGI effects added in but they can be ignored. This went straight to home release, Universal held a screening for test audiences who loved it yet it was shelved as they couldn't secure theatre's and two years later released it and like the previous film it is still enjoyable.

ToweringInferno_Q.jpg THE TOWERING INFERNO (1974) Right up there with my favourite all time movies. I saw the film on release with my parents while on holiday and as such carries a lot of nostalgia with it as well. For me, the best of the all star disaster movies of the 1970's and this is what big screen adventure and spectacle are all about. Running for 2 hours and 45 mins, the movie had an intermission at the part Where the stairway explodes and Newman has to get the kids down the mangled stairs. The cinema was quite warm as well and that added to the atmosphere. When the movie was over, I remember my mum being a bit frightened about going back to our holiday flat in case it never had the right fire safety measures. 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros teamed up to produce the movie as both company's were going to adapt novels about a fire in a huge skyscraper. Also for me, the poster features one of the best artworks ever on a movie poster. ** Please, never ever watch this movie on the likes of channel 5 etc.. The film is cut to shreds. I mean really butchered! And never ever in it's correct aspect ratio. |

Demons 6: De Profundis aka The Black Cat (Cozzi) Caroline Munro and Brett Halsey? SOLD. A film director finds that not everyone is a fan in this rather bonkers tale of regret and retakes. Another find on YT, so the print's not that great, but it's on the list alright. PS I instantly liked it more than The Three Mothers

what-we-do-in-the-shadows.jpg A documentary crew follow the lives of four flatmates and their every day lives which begins at 6 pm every afternoon because they are all vampires. There is no plot just vampires going about their business trying to adapt into modern life like not getting to enjoy the most popular nightclubs because they can only enter if they are invited in and the trials and tribulations of trying to look your best in your fancy glad rags when you cant see yourself in the mirror. The look of the house and the clothes of each vampire looked great and the style of each character was really matched to their persona perfectly. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments throughout and the banter between the vampires and the werewolves was some of the best especially the fake stick throw and the track suit pants V jeans scene 7/10
