I viewed Wonderland on the old Lovefilm app about a dozen years ago. What I remember is that this is a story about addicts who fall foul of gangsters. What it is not is some fun Boogie Nights golden age of porn parable but something much darker. I liked it and I like Val.Kilmer. His film from 1989 called Kill Me Again is also a great little thriller.

![]() Gold. 1974 Roger Moore leads the star cast set in South Africa and new foreman of a mine and becomes the hero when a plot to flood the mine is oncoming and force the owners to get the gold market to rise in price. This seemed to fit into a few genres of comedy, action, thriller and some drama which didnt seem to fit the plot of the film and a love affair with leading actress Susannah York and with a few racial slurs mixed in. In some places you do get the feeling of claustrophobia withnthe effects that are decently created for the film and decent cinematographer for the areial shots. Ray Milland and John Geilgud are always perfect to watch on screen and bring their own method of acting which made the film more worthwhile. There is some violentnscenes that may be upsetting to some, thinkma re-watch will happen. Gold-439883195-large.jpg

![]() American Yakuza. 1993. Viggo Mortensen plays recently released prisoner Nick who gets a job in a factory and stops a shootout and rescues Japanese businessman Ryo Ishibashi and is recruited by the Yakuza. Early 90s B grade movie that is a bit slow to start with and does get better as it goes along with some decent shootouts and very little martial arts fighting. Michael Nouri plays the Italian/American gangster who wants to own all the territory and be the number one guy. Viggo's character/ dialogue could have been a bit better and seems a bit wooden at times and character has a somewhat plot twist. Entertainment for a Saturday morning viewing. images (2).jpg

![]() Metalocalpyse: Army Of The Doomstar (2023, Brendon Small) Deathklokk return. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With just the tiniest bit of woke inserted deftly, it's business as usual with our frowning five piece hogging centre stage all over the place as always. Hail. The cast have fun with it and the songs always work as songs regardless of plot desires, something I've always loved about this series. Sigh. Recommended .... but not as an intro cough. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() Berlin Syndrome (2017) Teresa Palmer plays an Australian backpacker in Berlin who meets a school teacher and has a night of passion with him then realises she's trapped in his out of the way apartment and basically his captive. An interesting piece which has a slow build up of tension along with good performances from Palmer and Max Riemelt as her captor. Unfortunately following a few grisly moments and several others that show Palmer being physically dominated it kind of peters out in a climax that's both pretty forgettable and ultimately underwhelming. Set in what would have been East Berlin this generates the same gloomy atmosphere as Żuławski's Possession (1981) Pet (2016) was a far more cutting edge film about male domination than this. |
