Last night watched Barbarella Set in the far future, our heroine Barbarella is ordered by the president of Earth to find a scientist named Duran Duran on another planet. Barbarella arrives on this planet and sets out to find, while also banging a few guys and changing clothes more often than she should be. It's a great piece of sci fi and there is so much eye candy going about, the soundtrack is cheesy, but you can't fault it due to the time it was made. 8/10 Hardware Set in a post apocalyptic future; a scavenger discovers remains of a robot and brings them back to the city where he sells the head. The man who bought the head gives it to his girlfriend to use for her art. Unfortunately the head is part of a prototype robot that can self repair and rebuild itself and it ends up going on a rampage. It's not the best cyberpunk movie i've seen, but for what it is it's a great effort on the part of Stanley, the story is rather convoluded at times, but it has great effects and one of the best cameos by Lemmy i've ever seen. 7/10

Vendetta For what threatens to be another 'cockney geezer' exploitation movie designed to haunt supermarket shelves, Vendetta is actually not that bad. It's a Death Wish style vigilante film where Dyer comes home to find his parents viciously murdered by a 'yoof' gang. Being special forces trained he's not taking it lying down and starts killing the gang off one by one. There's some genuine nastiness on screen here with some fairly horrific torture scenes. Its stymied a little by the habit of the production company of sticking 'faces' in the film. The sort of people who you might know if you actually lived in London but for a northern monkey like me they just seemed like bad actors. The other problem is the poor script. Its not dreadful as such, it just over complicates things that don't need over-complicating. My main complaint is the police, who are portrayed as dangerously complacent over crime. There's a whole exposition scene that tries to explain it away but it just makes you realise how efficient Death Wish was at this side of things. Given the times we live in, how hard would it be just to have the police simply be underfunded? Seriously, the film could have trimmed a fair bit away by having the police simply be overwhelmed due to under-funding. Considering it should be no trouble getting this one piss cheap its worth a look though. |

Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 2. Whilst there is still the same self regarding element, I enjoyed this one more than the first. Baby Groot. Aaawwwwww I want one. Terrible ST. I don't care about how ironic it is ELO are shit and always will be Felt at points as if I was watching an intergalactic 'stenders but I laughed a lot so there is that.

Instead of him sounding like he needs some jump leads? tee hee. Still cannot quite believe that he has outlasted so many of his contemporaries tbh

Only the boys of Cannon could make a film about the "sport" of arm wrestling, the story of a truck driver trying to connect with the son he never met at the wishes of his dying wife while fighting her father for custody of the boy while getting ready for wrestling match in Las Vegas. not going to win any awards but its a fun and enjoyable piece of 80s cannon cheese. 7/10 Last edited by trebor8273; 16th August 2017 at 07:15 PM. |

Mad Foxes f8dc93d147a9fa3504caf69decb48510.jpg Um...right,O.K what did i just watch. I've heard others say this is BBFC baiting stuff and it is, in a way, but i think in these enlightened times it would probably get through almost uncut. The most problematic part is the first rape scene which although unpleasant isn't prolonged. The rest of the film is just pure concentrated exploitation trash, with sub par clockwork orange nazi gang creeps who like to kill for kicks and a self obsessed idiot 'hero' who is the 70's macho guy personified. Reading the above synopsis you might come to the conclusion i didn't enjoy the film, but it's just so much of a schlock overdrive that it was incredibly entertaining and irresistible to a cheesy film aficionado. The lead is such a prick, not really giving much of a shit as his friends get raped and killed, so much so that he seems to happily endanger anyone he meets. The nazi scum are often laughably inept, often coming across as a hybrid between A-team bad guys and the biker gang from those Eastwood monkey films. There's also a weird vibe going on where they find it perfectly acceptable to prance around naked and slap each others arses at the drop of a hat because that's what macho nazi freaks do. But like i said this is pure exploitation, so we get multiple murders, car and bike chases,rape and gratuitous nudity,castration,explosions and even a side helping of kung fu.(topped off with some of the most inept dialogue and appalling dubbing i've ever seen.) There's also a kinetic energy vibe going on where it's just one mental scene after another without pause. Great stuff that i found thoroughly entertaining. The only thing missing was any kind of tension or suspense, oh well can't have everything i guess. 8/10 recommended.

Annabelle. In which a young married couple inherit the ugliest doll in the history of the world, which to no one's surprise but theirs turns out to be inhabited by a very nasty demon. I avoided this prequel to The Conjuring when it came out on account of very poor reviews, but the recent Annabelle Creation was enjoyable enough to make me interested in seeing this. Oh dearie me, it didn't half deserve the drubbing. This may be the longest 95 minutes I've experienced in a long time. Dull characters, dull story, not many scares, yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn. Creation was 20 times better than this. |
