Zombieland (2009) I saw this via Netflix and thought it was fairly enjoyable.Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray were probably the best things about it.

I watched Lawless last night, while not a perfect film, the pacing sags a little in the middle, it's certainly an accomplished film. The acting is great, the photography is great, the soundtrack - by Nick Cave is unsurprisingly brilliant. I'm not the biggest Shia LaBeouf fan, in fact I find him pretty irritating most of the time, but he pulls this one off. Hardy is always good, but it's hard to see him without thinking of Bane, I don't think the muffled speech in Lawless helps break away from that image either. Guy Pearce gets a special note though, he plays what seems effortlessly, one of the vilest characters I've seen in a film for a long time, even just standing in the frame without speaking you can feel your skin cringe - bleugh! Good movie though 4 out of 5.

Really? I find him quite versatile - Bane, Bronson, Bill Sykes, Heathcliffe, that lowlife scum fella in WAZ, good variety of performances there (or variations on intense and moody folk ). Bronson is still his clear standout role for me . . .

World Without End (Edward Berns, 1956) had this in the house for a while, finally took the plunge after the rather strange John Dies At The End (more of which later). Contains spoilers. This slice of heterosexual propaganda thinly disguised as sci fi hokum starts with the apocalpyse, then trundles along til they get sucked into a brightly coloured snowstorm (or at least the model spaceship does haha) which shoots them into the future, where they come across BIG spiders (hmmmm) and one eyed cavemen. Surprise surprise, these are the remnants of the human race after "the great blow" (their phrase). They also meet some airy fairy types (lets call them the middle class) who witter on about "peace" which sickens the Yanks as they only know one solution to any problem (it isn't TM) Haven't laughed as much since A Touch of Cloth. Decent enough print made up for the creaking sexual politics. Rod Taylor's sixpack needed more oil I felt though (the DP certainly did) Ha-rumph. AAAnyway...... John Dies At The End (2012, Don Coscarelli) Now I'l watch anything this man does (and have) and from the oblique opening to the rather cheeky ending, I approved of this oddball tale of two losers who learn that "drugs are baaad" the hard way. This was worth the wait after seeing the trailer a while back. Featuring some unusual (old school) effects which added to my enjoyment, I recommend this anyone who likes a laugh and hates bland generic cinema imo. Oh, and we watched Dredd again. Every time he pouts I get a flashback to when I used to read 2000AD as a lad, but still stand by my "sluggish" assessment.
