A bleedin' hem.
Tony Timpone is it?

No wonder he likes breasts. He was starved of them editing Fangoria which would show all the blood and guts galore but absolutely nothing sexy.

Methinks Melton'd never get a job with them.

Three Musketeers

This is the 1993 Disney version starring Chris O'Donnell as the arrogant wannabe who wants to join up wit Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland and Oliver Platt as a Musketeer. Together they end up trying to stop a villainess Cardinal played by Tim Curry from taking over France by over throwing the King and his very weedy Son (Who looked like Elijah Wood) Very enjoyable effort, quite similar to Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves (Plot wise) with Tim Curry stealing the show.

Office Space

Indie style Comedy which sees a bored Office Worker and 2 soon to be laid off friends attempt to steal money from the company they work for. Jennifer Aniston is cast probably for star power. Funny Film which at under 90 minutes, doesn't wear out it's welcome.

P.S. whilst I'm not sure of American Employment Law in the 90's but I'm pretty sure that your Boss can't just come up to you and say that you have to come in and work for the next 2 days when you are around 15 minutes away from finishing your shift. But I'm just nitpicking.

Shang-Chi: Legend Of The 10 Rings

Origin story of the latest Marvel characters to be introduced. As a trebor8273 mentioned in a previous post, it's boring, follows the Marvel template.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm suffering from Marvel fatigue and I'm not holding out much hope for The Eternals as that's likely to be a origin story. Including Black Widow (I know it got delayed) there have been 3 origin stories in a very short space of time. At least the new Spiderman Film follows on from Far From Home, therefore the template will hopefully change.

Mutilations. 1986.

A high school teacher takes his class on a field trip for U.F.O. sightings only to be stalked by a alien.

At first this seems to be a homage to the 50s B movies, the daft acting, the cardboard drawing of the background that's supposed to look like the outside and the special effects. The acting is laughable, think the actors saw the paycheck and really didn't take it seriously. The special effects are a bit of stop and clay-mation. We see a skinless cow dying and sounding like a 80 year old man trying to climax with a younger person but can't quite reach that moment. Was this made on a bet or was it to be taken seriously, if you want a laugh this is the film for you.

If you have Marvel fatigue why would you pay to watch the new one?

Crossroads

Ralph Macchio is a Blues Music Student who travels to Mississippi with a aging Blues Player in the hope of obtaining a Song that seems to be an Urban Legend from a legendary Blues Muscian. Along the way, he learns the ways of being a Player as well as learning that his mentor made a pact with The Devil. It does seem a strange storyline but it does work in a way, it's not a bad little Film, worth watching if you come across it.

Best Of The Best 3

In a sequel I didn't know existed until I saw it in a Video Shop back in the days sees Tommy Lee visit his Sister where a White Power group terrorize the locals. Christopher MacDonald and Gina Gershon co-star. Very decent effort even though I originally thought that they took a script and adapted it to make it a Best Of The Best Film. No mention of where Alex Grady was but in a passing scene, Tommy does mention that he killed a man.

Terror Train

1980 Slasher which sees Jamie Lee Curtis as part of a College group who have a party on a Train which ends up having a Serial Killer on board. Not bad but probably not one I'll be watching again until a few years.

Toxic Avenger

A nerd turns into a Crime Fighting Avenger after falling into Toxic Waste. Silly violent Film. It is what it's meant to be. Definitely the best Film in the series.

The Crow: City Of Angels. 1996.

The spirit of a crow resurrects another man Ashe for revenge of the death of him and his son.

Vincent Perez takes the lead as Ashe who is found by Sarah played by Mia Kirshner and helps him bcome who he is. Kudos for Perez for taking homage from Brandon Lee's portayal in the first film and made it his own character for this film. We got two great singers in this Ian Drury and Iggy Pop although Iggy is a bit eccentric in this and seems like he is loosing the plot.

Alex Proyas stated he was offered the directors job and pitching ideas made him think of Brandon Lee (R.I.P) which he couldn't focus so he stepped down. David s. Goyer was brought in to write the screenplay and Tim Pope was brought to direct, even though the first was more dark gothic, this one has like a smog looking brackground which was a interesting way of adding in darker elements.

Originally this film was to be 160 minutes long, and two brothers who produced it created some decent films, one of them as we know is a monster but a total dick head, apparantly he wanted to give the audience what they wanted...well he screwed up. The audience wants the full length film not this butchered version with so many holes in it like it's a golf course. Pope and Goyer have stated they disowned the film, I can't really blame them, I have been brought up to not speak ill of people but I hope the certain producer rots in jail abd has become someone's biatch in the showers.

Rant over with, the film may not live up the it's predocessor but it's far better than the other two films that came out, didn't they go straight to dvd???

Exists (2014, Eduardo Sanchez)

Bigfoot FF. When 5 friends go to "get away from it all", they literally run into trouble on the way there
After one rather fractious night in their destination, they surmise that the neighbours aren't that friendly.
But boy, do they make with the bad choices (one in particular ahem), so my sympathy began to wane.
Next!

Meet The Feebles. 1989.

Animals and insects experience the sleazier side of show business while working on a variety show that's directed by a porn film maker animal.

First came Bad Taste then Peter Jackson made this, I actually forgot how funny this is, what happens when you get drug fuelled, sex rampant and murderous muppets...you get this film. If you have a weak stomach, easily offended, hated Bad taste and Braindead well this film is not up your alley and you be best to avoid this, for others this is a laugh, at least the writers have a good twisted sense of humour.

A lot of ppl like Peter jackson but don’t know about this, it’s like a adult version of the muppets . And I always say Braindead is probably what Monty Python would do if they were to make a comedy horror.
Been a while since I’ve seen so due for a rewatch.
