Aside from Sly, Statham, Dolph and maybe Tony Jaa, the cast is really poor in comparison to the other films. Feels like a direct to video effort.

I love Jason Statham he knows what he is and he just has fun with it and he definitely has fun with this plus he carries the whole film single handedly. They use a 50 cent song that came out about 20 years ago in the most embarrassing way in the film that had me laughing out loud it was soooooo bad

Angel Town

Olivier Gruner is a French former Kickboxing Champion who goes to America to study and ends up staying in a house where a Gang is trying to recruit the owner's Son. Obviously he helps in the way he knows how and a favorite of mine. There's a place for the serious Films like Oppenheimer but give me Films like this any day of the week.

I would like to retire my German Import DVD, so could a company like 88 please put this out.

Three Men And A Baby

Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson are roommates in an apartment complex when whilst out of the country, Danson's former lover leaves their Baby on their doorstep. Then all the usual not having a clue on how to look after a baby things happen in this entertaining 80's classic. The three leads play their parts well with their facial expressions and reactions, however I'm now not sure if the Drugs subplot was actually necessary.

Again would like a Blu-Ray release with a possible bonus extra of the legend of Ghost Boy (Which does look like a standee to my older self)

Cocaine Cougar (2023, Dustin Ferguson)



Terrible nonsense. Makes the bear film seem like Satantango in comparison
Twas only 40 minutes for all that ...

The Swordsman

Lorenzo Lamas is a Cop who has visions when in contact with dead people. When a valuable sword is stolen, he joins an underground sword fighting club to investigate. It sounds similar to Gladiator Cop and it does because apparently, Deleted Scenes for this ended up in that Film.

I've seen better.

Three Men And A Little Lady

The guys are back and along with Nancy Travis and now a 5 year old Mary, she starts acting up so Nancy Travis gets engaged to pompous Theatre Director, Christopher Cazenove and decides to get married and live in England. Therefore the guys go to England to stop the wedding.

This is excellent, again the performances from the stars are fantastic especially a Film Stealing, Fiona Shaw, who plays a man hungry Boarding School Head Mistress who makes several advances towards Tom Selleck and this has a funny wedding scene as well along with a take on a certain scene from The Great Escape.

Oh yeah, there are some certain stereotypes regarding the English Upper Class, such a shame there wasn't another sequel after this.

Full Metal Jacket

Stanley Kubrick Vietnam War Movie that's really in 2 parts, the 1st being set in Training with a Drill Sargent played brilliantly by R. Lee Ermey who his merciless in his training methods and the 2nd part being set in Vietnam, where a Reporter tells the story of what is going on.

Really loved the Training section of the Film and TBH, I was rather bored with the Vietnam Scenes, felt like I've seen it all before and seen it done better.

Mr. Baseball

Tom Selleck is a faded Baseball Player who ends up playing for a Japanese team. At first, he upsets them by not taking it seriously nor their customs but eventually he comes around and becomes the player he used to be. Dennis Haysbert stars in another Baseball Film which is more about when a sportsman plays in a league which he feels his beneath him and the challenges it brings. Pretty decent effort.

Matinee

Set during The Cuban Missile Crisis, John Goodman is a B-Movie Horror Director who launches his new Film in a small town with gimmicks which will enhance the viewing experience.

This is one of those Films that when it came out in 1993, I had no interest in it but I've recently saw the Trailer and got it in the recent Arrow HMV Sale and it's a real hoot especially when Robert Riccardo's Cinema Manager character's Bomb Shelter was accidently used by 2 teens and it was easily re-opened.

Pituitary Hunter (1990, Dan Pan)

A charming tale of regret and medical malpractice ahem.
Cops try to seek a "serial killer" after certain aspects come together.
The subtitles were quite surreal, and a seedy edge kept me watching.

Halloween 4 - The Return of Michael Myers. 10 years after the events of Halloween and Halloween 2 (sorry modern hack movie makers), Michael Myers awakens from his "coma" upon hearing of the existence of a niece (Danielle Harris) and set off to Haddonfield to kill her and anyone who gets in his way. Fortunately Dr Loomis (the great Donald Pleasance) is soon in hot pursuit. Always loved this one, still do and it looks FAB on 4k blu ray. Sooooo atmospheric. Really enjoyed this.

Five nights at Freddy’s


Even tho it was a low (ish) budget film it wasn't designed to be or feel like a low budget, also had Nic Cage willy’s wonder land feel, it was very well made and done, but instead of Concentraring on killer robots it was more storyline and build up, decent watchable but lacks any real action, violence or Gore.

Both Five Nights at Freddy's and Willy's Wonderland are based on the video game series Five Nights at Freddy's, but the Nicolas Cage-starring film was not an officially sanctioned adaptation and was released first with, as far as I can remember, little fanfare.

I have seen it twice at home (streamed from Prime Video) and thought it was great fun both times. It's a film that shouldn't work but somehow does because of the surrealistic feel, the cartoonish violence, and energetic editing.

I am interested in Five Nights at Freddy's, but probably not enough to see it at the cinema instead of something else that's currently showing – there are other films I'd rather see instead.
