Of Unknown Origin (1983; George P Comatos) Unusual Canadian home invasion film. Robocop has problems. Problems at work ...problems at home. When wifey (...introducing Shannon Tweed no less ) bustles off to sponge off her parents, the stage is set. This is an odd wee flick. Is it about the innate savagery of man? Is it about mental collapse? Is it in fact a tawdry stalk/slasher disguised as above? ....I only ever fell asleep during 2 films. This and The House Where Evil Dwells. Am glad to report this did not reoccur....

Fade to Black is a fine film that you might have missed as is Eyes of a Stranger. |

Leon (1994, Luc Besson) "No women ... no kids" Whilst Oldman stampedes around like the spoiltest brat ever ... Reno quitely steals the film from under him. A stoic 'cleaner' finds his humanity after an uncharacteristic act of charity. A fairytale for HK fans ... this still rocks the party. Still hate Sting though ... Horrors Of The Black Museum (1959, Arthur Crabtree) Some year this. Luridly coloured to the point of eyestrain (or I may have been sitting to close to the TV) this is certainly the lesser of 59's delights; but after a bravura opening the film settles into a fairly seedy rut with Gough oozing condescension from every pore as Plod at his ploddest searches in vain for a crazed killer. Sick little monkey indeed ... the underlying tone of thwarted desire redolent of the period in my opinion ... Network did a decent enough job with this ... Recommended!!
