[MR. ELIMINATOR]

Trilogy of Terror. It's ace. Oh, and the new x men. That was alright.

Theatre of Blood

starring Vincent Price as Lionheart. Great film - and what a cast; Price, Diana Rigg, Ian Hendry, Robert Morley, Jack Hawkins, Arthur Lowe, Maddy Smith, Joan Hickson, Harry Andrews, Michael Hordern - the list goes on!
Haven't seen it in years but the murders of the critics have stuck in my mind all this time. Well who could ever forget Robert Morley being force fed poodle pie?

God Bless America - Bobcat Goldthwaite's love letter to America, not that you'd know it given the central storyline is about a man who can't afford healthcare and so kicks off a killing spree by murdering a child star and then going on the run with one of her underage mates that he adopts as a surrogate for his own ungrateful offspring in occasional moments of bonding before the inevitable Butch and Sundance finale.  American celebrity is seen as a cartoon distraction from the problems of modern living, but the country itself is quietly and lovingly filmed and cataloged as the pair cross it, murdering people who are inconsiderate to others in clumsy and brutal scenes that fail to glamorise killing, and ironically this probably did for the film's chances a lot more than the subject matter did.  Blackly comic, but has the odd sweet moment.

Orson Welles' American Cyborg: Steel Warrior stars noted American musician and philosopher Joe Lara, herein expanding upon his established thespian oeuvre in portraying solitary and laconic strongmen "Austin", tasked by fate to escort the immaculately-conceived progeny of Mary, a virginal survivor of the nuclear holocaust engineered by an anonymous mechanical intelligence referred to simply as "The System", whose physical agency is represented by the titular silent and unstoppable "Cyborg" which acts as the film's primary antagonist. The film cleverly subverts the established norms of genre, as Lara plays a man with long hair who kicks people in the face for 90 minutes in an abandoned warehouse constantly redressed to look like multiple locales, a cunning metacommentary upon the cyclical nature of violence that contains obvious correlations with purgatorial myth to compliment the already present christian theological elements.  Even though the script remains largely faithful to William Shakespeare's original play, the film is not the best example of the post-apocalyptic action genre, nor is it the best post-apocalyptic action film starring Joe Lara made in the 1990s for less than thirty dollars, but it has some charm when it leaves aside highbrow philosophical pursuits and concentrates on people stabbing mutant cannibals in the face with broken bottles - in regard to bridging such scenes as an observer, I found five pints of Stella helped greatly with my overall enjoyment.

I prefer PW Anderson's The Seventh Seal. Mila Jovovich really knows how to extract every last ounce of existential ennui from kicking the head off a zombie as she does a backflip in tight leather trousers and high heels.

His Three Musketeers remains the definitive version of the original novel, featuring as it does Batman, Catwoman, and England invading France with a fleet of spaceships - presented in 3d, as Dumas intended.

[Goaty]

The Empire Strikes Back - that's the Star Wars film!

[Mabs]

Maleficent - which I watched earlier on today with my boy, and really enjoyed.

Excellent turn from Anjelina Jolie as the main character and some nice supporting turns too from Sharlto Copley and Sam Riley in particular as her crow. I wasn't too sure on Elle Fanning as Sleeping Beauty, but she grew into her role as the story progressed.

[Hawkmumbler]

Watching it tomorrow Mabs. Expectations set low, mind.

Then you'll definitely enjoy it!

I just got back from taking my daughter to see it. I went in with low expectations too, just another kids movie that I didn't want to watch but I really enjoyed it, Jolie was terrific as was the rest of the cast and the whole thing looked fantastic.

The wife took our youngest to see Postman Pat at the same time, I think I drew the longer straw there

[Hawkmumbler]

Nope. Didn't like it. Besides an infuriatingly old hat plot device that's actually kinda sexist by todays standards, [spoiler]Maleficent having her heart broken by a guy, suddenly turning her psyche on it's head. Yawn![/spoiler] I was just, plain, BORING!!!!

[Professor Bear]

Still, at least Disney are wringing every last dime out of Wicked's schtick one way or another.  Turnabout is fair play, or something.

[Frank]

They should definitely have made Jolie sing and dance. It would have been funny.

[Hawkmumbler]

Interesting how an absent 't' can make a sentence sound completely different!

Anyway, I sat down and watched Expendables 2, just now. T'was alright, I guess.

[Buttonman]

Non-Stop with Liam Neeson - horse shit; it totally stopped after 100 minutes!

It's like Lionel Hutz' lawsuit against 'The Never Ending Story' all over again!

It was Ok but a poor man's 'Executive Decision'.
