The Bloodstained Shadow. 1978. The body of a schoolgirl is found murdered and the killer is never caught. Years later a young man Stefano visits the area to see his brother, the local priest who fills him in on the locals, Stefano keeps seeing visions of a young boy and tries to uncover why he is seeing the boy. Watch Me When I Kill was Antonio Bido's other 70s Giallo, it may not be everyone's favourite but I enjoyed it and this one was a lot better. It has the POV shots of the killer, main actor meets a woman and tries to romance her and eventually does, but there seems to be a odd ball of residents on the island that seem haunted by the past tragedy and fears there is a copycat or the killer has returned. There is a slow build up to the story but does play out well towards the end. e3ffa6ba-4a1b-419f-b20e-71bb0d5f5353-34e819a3.jpg

irinmanquadlarge1.jpg IRON MAN (2008) The MCU gets off to a good start in this really enjoyable movie. It's a great fanboy moment to see the original Iron Man armour when Tony makes his escape from captivity. The after credits sequence hinted at the forming of The Avengers, and here we are some 23 movies later. |

Cyborg. 1989. In the future, a plague hits the world, woman named Pearl is a cyborg who holds information of a cure and hires a slinger to escort her to Atlanta. A band of pirates lead by Fender wants the information so he can keep the cure for himself. Another Cannon released movie where the set was designed for the upcoming He-Man 2 movie that was to be made, instead Albert Pyun used it for this film and made it into a classic. Van Damme who starred in Black Eagle and Bloodsport which helped him get lead actor status and able to show some decent fighting skills even though he may have caused injury but the end fight was well choreographed. Vincent Klynn who played Fender may not be the best antagonist, he does try to be tough and creepy at the same time but doesn't really go well. With the new 88 release it's nice to see the picture and sound quality cleaned up and more sharper . 12158123.jpg

Death Race 2 Straight to DVD prequel to the Jason Statham Film which sees how it all began. Starring Luke Goss, Sean Bean, Danny Trejo and Ving Rhames, this is a decent effort with entertaining Action sequences. Naked Gun 33 1/3: Final Insult Frank Drebin is retired but goes back undercover to foil a terrorist plot. Full of humor and very enjoyable. Great slapstick fun especially the scenes in the Fertility Clinic (Funny misunderstandings) and The Oscars Ceremony (Where he pretends to be Phil Donahue) Death Race: Inferno Another enjoyable straight to DVD prequel which sees the stars from Death Race 2 transported to South Africa for a Race across the desert. Again a decent effort but I would have liked more scenes with the Governor of the South African Prison (She was terrifying) Miracle True story based on The U.S. Olympic Ice Hockey teams improbable success at the 1980 Winter Olympics. Kurt Russell stars as the tough Coach in a good but overlong Film. |

Oooh, now I'm annoyed. Had a copy of the UK dvd in the shop forever (finally binned it ahem) and was always appalled by that bald head Demerited Demon.

WEDLOCK. 1991 Frank is betrayed after a robbery by his colleagues and sent to a unisex maximum prison where the prisoners have a collar around their necks and if they step out of a boundary line the collars explode or separated by more than 100 yards. Each collar is paired with a partner they do not who with. Frank and a female prisoner who are partnered escape and are chased by his old colleagues to find the missing loot. This is one of those movies that does rip off the prison restraints from The Running Man and yes you do see two heads explodes, director Lewis Teague does take it further with some tense moments. Rutger Hauer takes the lead of Frank who is betrayed by James Remar and Joan Chen who become like guardian angels and keep him alive so they can get the rest of the diamonds. Mimi Rogers stars as Tracey who seems to have some whit about her and manages to help Frank escape. Early 90s science fiction film that is still enjoyable. Wedlock-movie.jpg
