BLACK DYNAMITE - Spoof of all those Blaxploitation movies, with Michael Jai White as the titular hero. Imagine Jim Kelly crossed with Fred Williamson with a dash of Jim Brown. Lots of big afro's, bigger collars, deliberate bad acting and you sort of get the gist. Any film that has a final nunchaku showdown between BD and President Richard Nixon has my vote.

I THREW THAT SHIT BEFORE I WALKED IN THE ROOM! I bloody love Black Dynamite, it's infinitely rewatchable. I watched Horrible Bosses last night off Sky Box Office, and I thought it was excellent. All three male leads were brilliant, Kevin Spacey chewed up the scenery left right and centre and Jennifer Aniston looked unbelievably hot, which was impressive in itself. It was funny, (relatively) grounded in reality, and Jamie Foxx's cameo cracked me up. Much MUCH better than The Hangover. Hubba hubba |

BBC horror double bill! The Stone Tape I remember being scared shitless by this when I watched it on its (only) showing back on Boxing Day 1972 ( ) Nigel Kneale was brilliant at combining sci fi / horror and he succeeds here again. Highly recommended. Lost Hearts Another one that scared the hell out of me on original transmission. The ghostly kids are creepy as hell. One of my favouriritre BBC Ghost Stories For Christmas. |

Is that the one with the ghost kid playing the hurdy gurdy? Creepy's the word . . .

Black Christmas (2006) - oddly, considering my love for Bob Clark and the original being one of my favourite genre pictures, I thought this remake was OK! I only really watched it because I worship at the altar of Michelle Trachtenberg, but it turned out to be an affable little bit of kitsch. It's silly, obviously, but at least it tries to be. Dabbling with being tongue-in-cheek (to the point of comedy at times) really helped to cover up the more derivative and dull aspects of the story. The performances were great, the film being well cast and it was decently paced and not too long. Obviously, the film and it's "spell out the backstory" is not going to hold up in direct comparison to the original, but I really thought this was one of the better remakes of classic horror films there has been. Pleasantly surprised. Captain America The First Avenger - something of a stark lesson in mediocrity. Passed the time, I suppose. Last edited by Gojirosan; 30th December 2011 at 12:08 AM. |
