 Oft ranked among the best of giallo movies (currently holds spot #4 on RYM's chart ahead genre staples such as The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Tenebrae, What Have They Done to Solange? and more) yet I found it really underwhelming and uninteresting. A big disappointment as I've been waiting for years for the opportunity to see this one.

 Not watched this in years. Still a masterpiece.

 For fans of 80s sci-fi movies. Warning: it's 5 hours long...

 Very timely. A bit disturbing in places too.

  Two examples of great music but crappy adaptations from stage to big screen. Jesus Christ Superstar is the better of the two.

 This is a shitload better than I would have expected. Jon Voight and Eric Roberts received award nominations for this. There's some real suspense, and some quite graphic violence. Even the introduction of a female character at an odd time doesn't derail things (yes, pun intended...).

 An Easter tradition  Like Gummo except less depressing.

 A TV movie version of a stage show I was involved with many years ago. It's pretty much a forgotten show now, but for good reason. It's a bit shit... However, this is a well done version of it, and Carol Burnett is great!

 OK, watched the 4 hour version of this, and it was better than I remembered.  This was great fun. Not quite the same kick as the original, but that was a very long time ago.

 Making my way through the whole series. I saw the first 4 films but evidently they released 3 more over the years that I wasn't aware of. Favorite character of course is Burt Gummer.

 This is up for Best Picture at the Oscars tonight. I suspect it isn't going to win but it was damn good though certainly an oddball movie. If I were a betting man I'd say Oppenheimer or Killers of the Flower Moon are most likely to walk away with Best Picture but stranger things have happened. Maybe Barbie will go and win.

 Good dumb fun with an excellent '70s soundtrack.

 Not exactly a B-movie, but not an A-movie either... B+ I reckon. Danny Trejo is always fun, and here he teams up with Mickey Rourke for all sorts of devilish bloodthirsty Western fun.

 I only ever saw these years ago when they first came out on video, so thought I should rewatch to see if I felt as indifferent as I remembered. And it turns out the answer is yes. Yes, it's NZ scenery. Yes, my missus was housemaid for a lot of the stars of this movie and still won't tell me who except Viggo Mortensen which I figure out for myself. And yes, I still only rate it 3/5.

 Yeah, don't do it because it upsets the monster which is a cross between the giant Ghoulie and the Toxic Avenger. This is also the cleanest cover I could find... Also watched:   |

 People tended to run down the previous iteration of Resident Evil movies but they were better than this piece of shit snoozefest.

 Cool fight scene, but otherwise mostly a big yawn.
