I saw a great film a while ago on the Horror channel , The Wild Women Of Wongo . In my opinion a very underrated gem of a fim

Bloodbath and beyond reviewed it and...i think it was a bit of both good and bad?

 

Will have to visit Whitby if this what the locals get up to.

Boys in the Trees 8/10

 

It starts out like some kind of poor mans Lost Boys, but turns into a really well shot, well acted and sad coming of age movie. Great soundtrack too.

I really liked it.

The Girl with all the gifts. A uk zombie flick with a twist. Think 28 days later and you aren't far off, certainly in how it looked. The young girl in it was very good but the wardrobe dept need sacking for putting Gemma Arterton in those MC Hammer cast offs! 8/10

Kelly's Heroes. 6.5/10

 

I'm amazed this hasn't been remade (maybe it has), but an enjoyable caper. Donald Sutherland hams it up as a hippy (in the 1940s!) whilst Clint Eastwood turns in a fairly cardboard performance. Telly Savalas, on the other hand, is great - as is Harry Dean Stanton in a bit part role. Guns, Nazis, Gold - and a Sherman tank that fires paint filled shells - all very good, but a bit pedestrian in plot and mixed in tone.

Eye In The Sky - 7/10 - Solid military thriller that has echoes of Good Kill as its covers the morals of drone use in modern warfare.

 

Just watched it,people don't know how good they have it.worth watching 7/10.

Trouble is all the soldiers had 70's hairstyles in a WW2 film?? lol. Except for Telly Savalas, of course. Not Clint Eastwood's best, by a longshot.Lots of fun though.

Hans Christian Anderson 10/10

 

"Once upon a time there lived in Denmark a great storyteller named Hans Christian Andersen. This is not the story of his life, but a fairy tale about the great spinner of fairy tales."

 

Loved this film as a child, and watching it again now I remember why.

 

Yes indeed lots of childhood memories in that film, the songs were what made it more endearing and of course Danny Kaye, probably the greatest all-round entertainer who ever lived. How many times did we hear the Ugly Duckling and The Emperor's New Clothes on the family radio in the 50's?

Not a great run of late:

 

The Love Witch - 2/10 - Awful.

 

Air Guitar Nation - 6/10 - Quite a fun documentary about the world Air Guitar Championships in Finland.

 

Personal Shopper - 5.5/10 - Thriller about a medium searching for the prescence of her recently deceased twin brother, effective in places bit too ambiguous.

[Unisol]

Blade Runner 2049 - visually spectacular, soundtrack better than expected but very deep so will require a couple more viewings - 8.5/10. Would only recommend to die hard Blade Runner fans. BTW - the Curzon is a fantastic cinema.

 

Alien Covenant - so absolutely dire it's laughable. I'm only giving it a 1 out of 10 in acknowledgement of some of the set pieces (which looked great viewed in my Oculus Rift on a massive screen). Avoid at all costs.
