 Topic: Recently Watched FilmsPosted: 2 hours 39 minutes ago at 2:21pm |
 It's a solid enough British action crime flick, but the plot has some massive issues so you kinda end up just zoning out with this one. I can't recall another movie (at least outside of the horror genre) that spells out 'this character is going to die' quite so obviously as this film does. It also never resolves the villain's motivation for the initial killing. Not worth watching again.  Nature fights back horror. It was okay but a long way from topping The Birds in this genre.

 I never knew Tina Fey could do drama, but there ya go. Martin Freeman's character is an annoying little git though.

 Fucking hilarious! Marty Feldman's directorial debut. In the same vein as Young Frankenstein or Blazing Saddles.

 Fucking grim. Gland I've seen it, but never want to see it again.  Stupid, tacky, but surprisingly self-aware sexplotation crap. Lots of fun!  Had potential, but ultimately it's a bit shit.  Fucking awful! There are too many technical and logic holes for this to be plausible. Too fucking dumb for words, and a strong cast look embarrassed to be associated with it.

 Only loosely related to the original, and hated by gatekeeping punks, but I quite liked it. Also has an excellent soundtrack.

 There are some genuine laughs to be had in this one.

 The most cringingly Kiwi thing I've seen in ages! Loved it! It was scored by a Kiwi band called The Phoenix Foundation. I got a CD-r self-printed hand written demo for review from them when I worked at the paper years before. I absolutely savaged them and said they were U2 wannabes, and that we'd never hear from them again. The Phoenix Foundation went on to be one of the most successful Kiwi bands of the 2000s, and the individual members have gone on to do all sorts of great things musically and culturally, and are highly respected artists. Shows why I shouldn't be allowed anywhere near non-metal music...

 Slow-burning neo-noir set in the 1990s. Ambiguous ending. Liked it overall, definitely better than it's ratings would suggest though there may be some Denzel Washington Syndrome going on with it. As for the ending, personally I don't think he did it.

 A bit of ultraviolent silly fun. Love a bit of Danny Trejo.

 A movie about one of the filthiest jokes ever told in all it's glorious, disgusting variations. So many comedians. And unfortunately, so many of them now dead.

 Much improved. It's definitely up there with the best couple of movies in the series.

 It's a Jacques Tati film, so it's full of gentle but fun physical humour in post-WWII France, where things are starting to get back to normal.

 Not very interesting and not worth the time.

 Very effective early 70s sci-fi/horror. High production values, and doesn't look cheap and rushed like Hammer Horrors used to.

 Based on the Thomas Pynchon novel of the same name - it's just as crazy and probably half as coherent. Love Joaquin Phoenix as Doc.
