Point in case .... I needed to clear my head after that thing I watched, so stuck on some Fragasso. ZFE 3 to be precise. At 1:85 and far more intact than the German disc or the Vipco one ... it is the best I have seen it. Which isn't saying much if indeed you've seen this chewy gooey delight and instantly shudder at the mention of the song title "Living Afterrrrr Deeeeeeaaaath!!" Ahem.

ZFE 3 II ....er
Many highlights here. Cliver & Kerman clones firstmost. The face ripping (ouch). The nagging riff used in the chase sequence. The green goo..... recommended for fans of fun flicks. Ok, there are no flying heids in this one but still ....

Dracula (1979) Director John Badham's take on the classic Bram Stoker story is perhaps more romantic than usual as a seemingly fangless Frank Langella charms his way across the screen. Coming across more Lestat than Dracula, Langella in truth is miscast yet he manages to easily steal many of the scenes he's in especially with Laurence Olivier's Van Helsing, who also appears to be miscast. The mighty Donald Pleasence has a large role in this, although his Dr. Seward isn't a million miles away from his trademark Dr. Loomis in the Halloween series of films. Look out for Sylvester McCoy as well, playing Seward's general dogsbody. Despite these seemingly damaging flaws in the casting, Dracula is still a good film. It looks terrific and has Gothic atmosphere in spades, and is beautifully photographed, there truly isn't a dull scene to be ahem' scene and whilst it isn't as gory as some of the best vampire films there's still some delightful throat ripping and stakings galore as well as some frightening imagery such as the dead Mina Van Helsing (?) coming on to her unwilling father in her tomb. Isn't it odd how the various Dracula films play mix and match with character names and scenarios? I was a bit apprehensive as i settled down to watch this, almost fearing the worst, but i actually really enjoyed it. |

The Accountant (2016) A film with a straightforward story that's let down by a convoluted plot. How so? Well it's basically an old fashioned action movie at heart but the script writers decided to pretend otherwise and reckon on it was all a lot cleverer than it actually is but in reality it was all so predictable. Decent action and a good turn from Ben Affleck who can be as wooden as he wants in this portrayal of an accountant turned killing machine with autistic tendencies. Co-star Anna Kendrick pulls off one of those American nasal whiny voices whilst barely moving her lips. Nowhere near as good as Argo (2012) which was the last Affleck film i saw. |

Last night's film choices were: Theatre of Blood A group of theatre critics get killed off one by one by a Shakespearean actor who gets ignored for a prestigious award for acting. The actor uses Shakespeare's as his inspiration for the murders. The cast is swell and has a damn fine performance by Vincent Price who really hams it up and takes.so much enjoyment in the role. Also has some great kills and black comedy. 10/10 Curse of the Werewolf A beggar humiliates himself for food and money and ends up in prison. He gets fed by jailwardens daughter and ends up raping her, she escapes and dies after birth, turns out that the child is got an evil spirit and during the full moon turns to a werewolf. One of my favorite Hammer movies, Oliver Reed brings a good performance as Leon and also some great effects for the werewolf as well. 9/10 Sent from my MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro using Tapatalk
