| A woman for all men Keenan Wynn plays a millionaire building contractor whose sons get a shock when he comes back from a trip to vegas with a stunning new wife. Both the sons see their future inheritance going up in smoke and get nervous. More uncomfortably, their loud obnoxious father has family nights where he screens all the naked footage he's taken of his new bride. Not that that's uncomfortable enough, she uses the footage to seduce one of his sons, Played by Andrew Robinson and ends up setting off a chain of events that threaten the entire family. Second Arthur Marks picture I've watched lately after the entertaining The Roommates, this one is more a hugely enjoyable soap opera-ish film noir with a twisty plot. I get the impression that it might have at least partially inspired John McNaughton for the enjoyably trashy Wild Things. The twists themselves were difficult to guess and the film actually managed to throw one or two surprises at me. Overall great stuff! Bonnies kids When their step-father tries to rape her younger sister Myra , Ellie, played by the excellent Tiffany Bolling blows him away with a shotgun. The two girls hide the corpse and high tail it to their wealthy uncles house. Uncle Ben (played by scott Brady) is in 'fashion' but seems to have a bunch of criminal enterprises on the go as well, including one involving $400,000 that the girls end up getting embroiled in. There's some actually quite shocking stuff in this film, Robin Mattson who plays the younger sister Myra looks very young (shes 17) and plays a trampy sociopath who in one scene berates her uncles wife into killing herself after they have a lesbian tryst. Ellie meanwhile decides to screw over her uncle leading to her, and the pretty-but-dumb jock private eye she's seduced to go on the lam with the cash trying to evade her uncles 'fixers'. Someone on IMDB indicates that this film was a big influence on Quentin Tarantino for Pulp fiction, the Bonnie situation directly referencing the film. However its the two fixers who really indicate there may be something in the claim as they are more than a little reminiscent of Jools and Vincent. Bonnies kids is a twisty-turny crime caper with plenty of sex and violence and a really cool as f*** plot. The acting is terrific as well. Its a hard job to deliver a film with few actively likeable characters that is still entertaining but this film pulls it off. Centrefold girls. Probably the reason I bought the disc, Centrefold girls is a film I've seen a bunch of times on the old Dark Sky release. Essentially a tale of a chilling psychopath named Clement Dunne who is murdering his way through a centrefold calendar worth of attractive women one-by-one & month-by-month. It plays out as three films in one showing each of the girls getting stalked and butchered by Dunne. The first is a nurse who heads out for a job interview only to be terrorised by a gang of hippies that loosely seem based off the Manson Family. Escaping them she falls into the hands of the local hotelier, who then decides he's going to rape her. As she falls catatonic to the floor he decides its 'too easy' and leaves only for Dunne to appear and kill her. The second story has a group of models and photographer head out to a remote island where Dunne butchers them all and the third and final story has Tiffany Bolling turning up as an air stewardess who isn't prepared to take any shit from this psycho! One of the big appeals to the film is the terrific central performance from Andrew Prine, one of the better cult actors of the 70's who generally gives an excellent performance in anything he's in. One or two actors from other Marks productions turn up and the acting is mainly pretty great. Once again its all underpinned by a great story that's genuinely cruel and chilling in places. Glad to say the picture quality is pretty good to as I could see the surgery scars under one of the actresses breasts! |

Fantastic four Thankfully I didn't pay to go and see this pile of dog crap but still feel like I was ripped off. Absolutely dreadful the worst superhero film I've seen in a long time, awful cast, poor direction, dreadful special effects fails on every level. It desvers to flop, do you're self a favour and go and see the far superior Antman. A film that's so bad it's just bad 2.5/10 |

I actually watched a couple of films this weekend which makes a change Zombi Holocaust This is the first time I've ever seen it, seems to be 2 films! The New York section I thought was really good and liked the theme of stealing body parts, then there was what seemed to be a very quick decision to take a trip to the jungle to investigate a symbol and then it kinda lost me for a bit. It got interesting once we discover the doctor was making experiments with the dead natives and I liked the ZFE rip off part with the zombies breaking into the hut. Not bad, not great, 2.5/5. Blacula Haha, this one was interesting, swinging 1970s LA. Smashing soul music soundtrack, I loved the parts inside the night club and the 2 musical numbers were excellent. Vampire make-up on everyone but Blacula was ridiculous and very green but I can forgive that, the budget was clearly very VERY low. I find it a bit harder to forgive the script though, pretty homophobic which I guess was of the time but it still made me feel uncomfortable. Nice premise, decent acting, good music and fun to see all those poor cops getting battered by Blacula, 4/5.

Mission Implausible: Rogue something or other. Don't get me wrong i really enjoyed the 5th installment in Tom Cruise's spy franchise but it's hard to claim there's anything new here. keirarts and trebor8273 like this. Last edited by J Harker; 10th August 2015 at 08:50 PM. |

Arachnophobia. A classic. Saw Ant-man at the cinema today. Okay, I guess, if thoroughly unremarkable. Good to see Michael Douglas in something again, though - seems to have been donkeys years since I've seen him in anything - and the 80s Michael at the beginning was awesome. keirarts and trebor8273 like this. |
