dead.jpg Deadpool plucks Wolverine out of a timeline and together they try to save Deadpool's world from being wiped away.. Marvel take one on the chin and allow jokes about them, Fox and Disney in this final (?) outing for Deadpool. Lots of cameos from the previous Fox Marvel films that have been dumped and forgotten, get to fight again along side Deadpool and Wolverine. This was great fun and it was good seeing the old Marvel heroes and villains again. Wolverine looks excellent, especially in scenes at the end. If there are to be no more Deadpool films, then this is a great way to go out. |

What? (1972) ...the hell have i just watched... for a second time? For every great film Polanski made he came up with some unutterable shite as well. What? treads somewhere in between on an absurd unfunny path to oblivion. Still at least with Severin's Blu-ray both the Italian coast line and Sydne Rome look even more gorgeous than ever before. |

Unseen Movies 95 Jagged Edge. 1985. News paper editor Jeff Bridges is accused of killing his rich wife in their beach house. He is assigned by councillor James Karen a top defender Glenn Close who will clear his name and fight with District Attorney Peter Coyote. So a man is accused of killing, rich wife and everyone points the finger at the husband with the obvious answer as to why, money, bereaved hubby starts up a relationship with his defender who still has doubts about the innocent or guilty part. Previous trial resulted in a death of someone both defender and D.A. were involved with the case and trial and ensues good tense moments. This was actually decent with a good cast involving Robert Loggia, Lance Henriksen popping up at the start with never a dull moment in sight and fairly decent twist. wHYjo3NLc293ZEXVSGhRIUr3Iqi.jpg

HAUNTEDWEEN - A few years before it all changed with the advent of 'Scream' and a new generation of sassy but lightweight teen slashers, the guy in the mask with the sharp implement was still knocking them off like it was 1982. 'Hauntedween', from 1990, gets a lot of love, though maybe the kind afforded to the evolutionary stragglers of a soon-to-be-extinct species. All the usual elements are present sans irony, including a bunch of rowdy college kids who just want to party in that deserted house with the f*cked up backstory - it's Halloween, that's why! It plays like someone's rounded up the cast-offs from a dozen frat house comedies and tacked on some gore at the end. That's OK, it doesn't lack period charm, but it misses the kind of inspired incompetence that lit up some other late party slashers such as 'Night Screams'. STOPMOTION - Robert Morgan is known for his horror animation. His movie debut features 'The Nightingale's Aisling Franciosca as Ella, an animator who struggles with her controlling mum and boyfriend; when her mother's health crumbles, Ella's project takes on a macabre life of its own. Anyone familiar with the director will be unsurprised to find that he weaves in the kind of grotesque imagery more central to his previous work, but 'Stopmotion' doesn't want to be 'Mad God', opting instead for less clay and more character. If the 'Repulsion'-like scenario - isolated female protagonist withdraws from reality and passes into what seems like the hinterland of her own madness - is a horror mainstay, it works well here by virtue of 'Stopmotion's relentless claustrophobia; everyone's just a bit of an arsehole, even the lead, meaning there are no psychological footholds, no-one to root for, nothing to open up any room between the walls of toxicity. It adds up to quite a pungent atmosphere if you go along with it. The mix of model work and live action is deftly handled, and the whole thing looks the part, with a refined palette and visual style that makes the most of 'Stopmotion's dingy interiors and bursts of gore. I kind of wanted to be a bit more wowed than I was, but I thought it was solid. |
