    Along with Witchfinder General and Theatre Of Blood my favourite Vincent Price film.

    Love it's black sense of humour and outlandish sets.

    The Locusts death is seriously fiendish!

    I haven't seen Witchfinder General, but I agree on Theatre Of Blood. Any love for The Oblong Box?

    Hatchet 2 (2010)
    If you go down to the swamp today, you're sure to have a surprise, because Victor Crowley is waiting with a fresh list of over the top kills.

    The Revenge Of Frankenstein (1958)
    You can't beat Hammer Horrors for gothic style.

    The Corpse Vanishes (1942)
    Bela Lugosi and his creppy midget manservent go around kidnapping brides, so Bela can extract glandular liquids to make his haggard wive young aroun.

    Not many people know this, but Vincent Price was the narrator on Michael Jackson s Thriller.

    Belated thanks to @Birdleson. I guess White Zombie was more about Voodoo and magic and what not?

    I caught White Zombie on pure chance on tv years ago, and was just mesmerized. Fantastic film.

    A must buy for me. White Zombie? A Christmas film, perchance?

    The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Classic; definitely a good one.

    The Girl on the Train (2016)

    Let me put this as simply as I can. Emily Blunt, Haley Bennett & Rebecca Ferguson. Nuff said.

    Oh, and Luke Evans and Edgar Ramirez, for those so inclined.

    It lived up to expectations. This year's Gone Girl, but with a little more female (girl power) bent. Suspenseful, with a powerhouse performance from Blunt. She gets better with every film I see her in (like Jake Gyllenhaal does). Ferguson is incredible as well (almost unrecognizable from her action girl MI-RN performance with different hair and a completely American accent), although she has a smaller part. Bennett has this look to her which you know you've seen before but can't put your finger on it - she's like an amalgam of several sexy actresses in one.

    It's basically a whodunnit with a twist and lots of female life expectations/experience thrown in (for that read 'melodrama'). Once again, I'm glad I went in 'blind' without expectations (I've not read Paula Hawkins book).

    Much better than its current RT rating (for Blunt and Ferguson alone). Recommended!

    Just booked tickets for a screening of the new digital restoration of Heat at the Leeds Film Festival as well as a screening of the highly acclaimed South Korean film Train To Busan.

    It's great to have a film festival in your home town.

    Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!!

    Finally embarking on a journey to the past (my early childhood, the 80's) with Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II.

    The first one is a classic. With all the elements that work so well, it doesn't even matter that most of the special effects look somewhat dated. I wouldn't want it any other way.
    They are classic.

    The cast is just a stroke of genius. Harold Ramis will never be forgotten. Not only does he bring something valuable to the character department of GB but also he has written a good part of the script with Dan.

    Sigourney Weaver looks smashing in GB and even Rick Moranis is lovable even when he turns to the bad side.

    Also worth a mention: The 2014 Blu-ray release with a ton of special features and some newly produced ones including a marvelous interview surrounded by GB memorabilia with Dan Aykroyd and Ivan Reitman.

    Ghostbusters II will hit the Jason Theatre tomorrow.

    Hardcore Henry (2016) and Shoot 'Em Up (2007)

    sharlto-copley-hardcore-henry-movie-review.jpg

    scr-6.jpg

    Both films are about 90 minutes long, and are non-stop action from start to finish. You can count the 'quiet' scenes in both films with your 10 fingers, they're just so action packed. Clive Owen is a total legend in 'Shoot 'Em Up', killing tons of guys with a variety guns and his carrots. Lots of humour, and and a very sexyful Monica Belluci. As for 'Hardcore Henry', it's probably the most insane action film I've ever seen - all filmed from the first-person view of the main character as he kills over 200 bad guys. Sharlto Copley plays one of the most badass and likeable ally I've ever seen. A total blast from start to finish, but not for the faint of heart - massive shaky-cam during endless succession of fights/chases. Very good soundtrack too - especially the 'Don't Stop Me Now' from Queen and the Mag

    Batman v Superman on my new 4K Ultra HD TV, my eyes welled up the picture is astonishing... Movie fans buy a 4K TV seriously. Going to watch the IMAX sequences in TDKR next oh my lord.

    La grande Bellezza [2013] - What a beautiful filmed vision of Rome, I am quite sure Mendes must have seen it. A movie about disillusion, loneliness and real beauty.

    Got to see a restored print at a Cinerama theatre in 1989. Great film. Timeless.

    It's the first time I have seen it since I watched it on vhs, the film has breathtaking visuals it looks like it was made yesterday. David Lean was a master.

    I didn't really much care for it otherwise, but it certainly is very beautifully shot.

    I have the remastered blu ray but have not been able to sit down and watch it fully from end to end. I have to do it sometime soon.

    Wilderness (2006)
    Low budget British horror. A group of young offenders are send to an island for character building, but are stalked by an ex-squadie.

    The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll & Miss Osbourne (1981)
    .... what in gods name did I watch? Without going to much into the story, i'll sum up Mr Hyde as thus: a bi-sexual, paedophile, sex fiend. Approach with extreme, EXTREME, caution.

    Rocky 4.

    There is something wonderfully comforting about these 80s icons. It was not well received by the critics , but compared to Michael Bay's blockbusters etc, Rocky 4 is pure class. The music and editing bring an excitement and feeling that means you are happy to overlook its obvious faults. And the pure pace (its a short movie) means there is no time to over think this movie. Stalone wrote and directed..he does not get the credit her deserves from critics.

    John Wick - been meaning to watch this for a while now and, for some reason I always put it off. Well, I won't do that again. A terrific movie, nice new ideas, and Reeves was excellent.

    Rocky 4 is the worst of the lot. You don t honestly enjoy it, do you?

    Actually, Rocky 5 is the worst. That's something I have in common with the popular opinion. 4 is actually one of the best.
