Running On Empty(1988) Ma(Christine Lahti) and Pa Pope (Judd Hirsch) are fugitives seemingly on never ending on the run from the FEDS due to their antiwar activities back in the 60's. Like nomads/gypsies they move from place to place never laying down roots. Couple have two sons one played by River Phoenix who is growing up very quickly a man so he longs to have a more stable life by being on his own but by doing risks separation from his family forever. All I can say is WOW this is a extremely powerful movie in every way(some may even be able to relate to a some or lot of this) and everyone here behind the camera and on screen. They really are so convincing(the cast) I could completely believe them to be a real family. Definitively near a 10/10.

A bunch of friends lead by Neil (Danny Dyer) decide to go to the country after Vince (Stephen Gtaham) is separated from his wife and to show him that not all women are bad. When the get to their destination a small village of Moodley all the woman have been turned into zombies.

This film has comedy horror and plenty of gore well worth a watch 8 out of 10.

Submarine

Rather fine, bitter sweet coming of age romantic comedy with a twisted edge. Great performances and direction. Would make a good double bill with Gregory's Girl.

It's been a long time since I saw Submarine and absolutely loved it when I did. I didn't really know what to expect from a film directed by Richard Ayoade, who I knew from his appearances in The Mighty Boosh, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and particularly The IT Crowd. I was also really impressed by Ayoade's other feature film as director, The Double. Have you seen it?

It's based on a novella by Dostoevsky, something I haven't read yet that keep meaning to, and features a brilliant central performance from Jesse Eisenberg.

Sherlock Holmes in New York (1976)

Holmes pursues his arch-enemy Moriarty to New York, where the villainous scoundrel has carried out the ultimate bank robbery. Throw in Irene Adler and you've got yourself a Holmes greatest hits movie.

John Huston is a decent Moriarty, Patrick Macnee channels his inner Nigel Bruce as a bumbling Watson and Charlotte Rampling smoulders as Adler. As for Roger Moore? - Well he's Roger Moore playing Sherlock Holmes playing Roger Moore.

Look out for Holmes and Moriarty trading insults, it'll make your eyes roll. All told Sherlock Holmes in New York is a fun film, but Holmes purists need not apply.

The Glass House(TV movie from '72) Realistic account of a college professor(Alan Alda) who is convicted of manslaughter and shipped off to state prison. Follows his first day and onward there as well as first day guard(Clu Gulager)The late Vic Morrow is the thorn in Alda's side. Many other faces you all will definitely recognize. Brilliant work from all even if a lot of it is covers a lot familiar territory with jail/prison movies. Didn't see that ending coming though. 8/10
