New Zealand comedy horror that I’ve wanted to see for a while. It was £1.99 to buy on iTunes so thought why not.

WARNING: A little bit of swearing in the trailer.
An absolute cult classic for me, probably not most people’s cup of tea but I think it’s great.
I haven’t seen it for a while but thought I’d share a little clip...

Yes, very good call - possibly the most sinister film of its era. Another classic that I haven’t seen for circa 30 years.
Will check the schedules to see if it is available.

What to say - It is pure genius. Still amazing to watch it (again and again). The plot, script, performances and atmosphere is sheer class.

Jean-Luc Godard and the Rolling Stones 1968 music/film collaboration.
It’s both fascinating and infuriating at the same time - or mostly, alternating. The studio footage of the Stones working on the song is incredible, it’s largely unedited for long periods and full of amazing detail about how they worked and what they used, although a bit disjointed in parts. The interposed film sections are utter bollocks that just drag on interminably and painfully. Perhaps of some historical interest as an illustration of how pretentiously shit ‘art’ film-making could be in the 1960s, but really just very annoying. I nearly gave up a few times but forced myself to not skip them just to get the full experience...

I've been reading extremely mixed reviews of this, so when I saw it was free on Amazon Prime I thought rather than just assuming it's terrible rubbish, I might as well confirm it's terrible rubbish.
It's terrible rubbish.
That said, I couldn't say I absolutely hated it.... it's essentially a fairly family-friendly, soppy, romantic fairytale with some pop culture references. Like a Shrek film only not as funny.
Has to be in my top five list of all time great films. Not sure what the other four are but Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid also has to be in there and probably Spaceballs too.

A curious film that is still baffling me. Jack Nicholson playing to type, with competition from Helen Hunt and a decent supporting cast.
It’s a romantic comedy with a deeper commentary on personal issues and society’s interaction.
Quite watchable, but slightly dissatisfying.
6/10
Very atmospheric film about the seedy and greedy world of investment banking.
Exceptionally watchable with a great cast (Paul Bettany, Kevin Spacey, Demi Moore, Zachary Quinto, Stanley Tucci and Jeremy Irons - all playing down for the camera - marvellously understated).
Lots of silence and high contrast photography - a great film, and completely vacuous. Rather like banking I suppose.
8/10
On Prime.
Probably works better if you’ve seen the original ( and a couple of other Murphy movies at least) but that was sooo much better than I thought it was going to be. No wasted space, hardly a line that wasn’t a joke/ in joke, loads of cameos ( some of whom I recognised), loads of music and dance, Wesley Snipes is a revelation. I thought it might be painfully ‘woke’ but that wasn’t over done.
Thomas Jane plays a respectable, married architect whose drug-dealing past catches up with him on one fateful day. Once I got used to the slightly dated style (I hadn't realised it was made in 1998) I quite enjoyed this black comedy thriller. There's a bit of an early Tarantino atmosphere, a bit of film noir double-crossing, but it also feels rather like a stage farce as a series of wacky characters turn up at the single main location. It's very violent and non-PC by today's standards, but worth a watch. Good cast too.
Entertaining, balanced, thought provoking.
Finally saw this for the first time ever on Saturday. Fucking loved it. A nice uncomplicated storyline with enough twists and turns to keep it interesting and a wholesome ending without being too sensitive or mawkish.
During my childhood in the seventies and eighties you wouldn't in a million years ever admit to fancying a redhead, but now I think it's one of the most attractive features a woman can have. I also now prefer the 'fuller figured' lady as apposed to the more boyish figures of yesteryear.
