Rawhead Rex A film that falls into the so bad it's good category. Dreadful acting and effects with a poor script, but a hell of a lot of fun because of it and how many films are there with a demon pissing on a priest! 7.5/10 Running scared Might not be the most well knowing 80s buddy/ cop movie but for me it ranks up there with the best. story of two cops ( billy crystal and Gregory Hines ) who after messing up a bust on drug lord julio Gonzales (Jimmy smits) set out to bring him down before they retire and open a bar in Florida. Works because of the two likable leads, comedy and some great action( especially a great car chase taking place on Chicagos L train system) 8.5/10 Tootsie Perfect Sunday afternoon viewing. Struggling actor micheal Dorsey after one too many unsuccessful auditions and a reputation of being difficult to work with disguise himself as a woman and gets a job on a popular soap opera, his charcter becomes hugely popular but problems arise when he become attracted to one of the female cast members and to make matters worse her father is attracted to him as is male member of the cast. Works largely to the great script, characters and Dustin Hoffman's performance. Funny and touching at the same time that includes a great supporting cast that includes Bill Murray, Jessica Lang, terri Carr , Charles Durning . The criterion blu Ray looks and sounds great. 10/10 Next up the guest which I haven't seen before Last edited by trebor8273; 4th January 2015 at 08:46 PM. |

the guest Well wasn't expecting much, but with how much praise people have being given it, thought I would give it a try. I'm glad I did definitely one of my top movies of 2014. The only other thing I had seen Dan Stevens in was downtown abbey and this was as far away from his character in that. Basically he worms he way into a family's life saying he knew there dead son from the army. He is Very charismatic and its not long before the entire family has taking a liking to him. we sound find out that there is something not quite right about him and that he is unstoppable killing machine . Not hard to see why it's been compared to terminator and the Bourne identity, well acted with a great soundtrack and bound to become a cult classic 9/10 Last edited by trebor8273; 4th January 2015 at 08:43 PM. |

Over the Christmas and New Year: Immortals (2011) Some good visuals but let down a little by Henry Cavills 'attempt' at a Braveheart-esque speech. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Good fun although I don't see the point of hiring Vin Diesel just to say "I am Groot!" Any one could have done that! The Lost Legion (2014) Absolute crap...And I like historical dramas! Into the Storm (2014) Again good visuals decent disaster movie. Aftermath (2012) Somewhat claustrophobic thriller. One Week (1920) Buster Keaton....Queue some classic stunts before CGI. Godzilla (2014) Enjoyed this... Edge of Tomorrow / Live Die Repeat (2014) ...and this! X-Men Days of Future Past (2014) Still think Fassbenders Magneto the better character! 47 Ronin (2014) Is it wrong to say I enjoyed this? Pompeii (2014) In 3D it has some good effects. But what the hell was Jack Bauer doing in Roman armour and why was he trying to clip his American accent? Thor: The Dark World (2013) Like X-Men above I think the villian of the piece (Loki in this case) is the more interesting character. Number 17 (1932) An early British Hitchcock picture that is really quite experimental with its use of shadows, editing and model work.

The langoliers Another Stephen King mini series about a group of people who wake up on there flight from LA to Boston to find out that the rest of the passages and crew have disappeared, they manage to land the plane because as luck would have it a pilot was one of the passengers that didn't disappear. When they manage to land it seems that it's not just the plane that was effected they seem to be the only people left on the planet. Let down by some dreadful CGI, poor acting and overly long running time. Would of been better suited as a two hour movie 6/10 The toxic avenger The story of mop boy melvin junko who becomes tromavilles superhero and protector after falling in a vat of toxic waste. He sets out to punish those who caused the accident and clean up the town of tromaville. Typical troma, poor acting, direction and Lots of OTT gore and black comedy. 8.5/10 Next up its in the blood ( haunted UK title). Which I only picked up because it's got lance henriksen in it. So has anyone seen it and is it anygood? Last edited by trebor8273; 5th January 2015 at 08:47 PM. |
