Athena ..low budget french riot porn. Almost fantastic but sadly not

the new Guy Ritchie one on Prime. It was good fun. A good way to kill a couple of hours. Hugh Grant is great in it, although he's clearly trying to be Michael Caine.

Sorry, totally blanked on the name of the film

Wasn't The Gentlemen was it?

Avatar the Way of Water. Managed to watch over 3 nights. Bit inebriated tbh so don’t remember much plot.

There's not much to remember.

The Warriors... Still fun but it's showing its age.

Terrifier. Excellent!

Just now: Willy's wonderland. Absolutely daft film. Nick cage fighting killer animatronic kids puppets at an abandoned kids restaurant.
Yesterday:
Don't go in the house. Early 80's video nasty about a man with serious mother/ women issues who like to burn his victims alive. Not in the slightest bit fun.

Hustle - well made but cliched sports drama

Plane - delivers the thrills and spills I was craving

Infinity Pool - muck. Kronenbourg Jr, my own flesh and blood, is a derivative one trick pony

 

[rettucs]

'Nobody' on Netflix. Its like a cross between Home Alone and Grand Theft Auto.

Really good stuff and the bus scene is one of the most satisfying scenes ever.

Doc Brown is in good form.

Breaking Glass .... Highly entertaining

On youtube here in hd for anyone interested

We tried to watch The Swimmers the other night. Half an hour in it was too tense and we were both crying so turned it off.

Venom (1971)
I bought this dvd last year but only watching it now. Obscure- ish early 70s horror.

Synopsis from the BFI site
English painter, Paul Greville, on a working holiday in Europe, unravels a mystery surrounding a mountain village in Bavaria: a store of priceless paintings are kept to finance a project to produce a nerve drug from the venom of spiders.

It looks good, atmospheric. Loads of autumnal forest scenes, good acting, creepy soundtrack, but very of its time, doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Not bad though. For fans of this kind of thing only. It's available on youtube under the title Spider's venom.

I watched the 70's stepford wives again a few days back. Still solid, good atmosphere. Katharine Ross carries it essentially. Longer than I expected but the pace is great

Face/Off for the first time in years.

Still holds up really well. Looks gorgeous, incredible stunt sequences that looked amazingly hard and dangerous to pull off but on screen look a million times better than what their cgi equivalent today would be. A chopper lands on the wing of a plane to stop it taking off FFS.

And what the fuck is up with this?

Last time I watched that I was in some weird pension in Vienna when John Paul II died and it was dubbed into German. Excellent experience.

A serial killer's guide to life. British darkly comic drama about a woman spree killer, killing self help coaches. The twist is a tad obvious, and the kills are mostly off screen, so not to bloody, but it was grand.

This way out. A short by same director and Actress from A serial killer's guide. Again very darkly comic, this time, it's about a clinic where suicidal people can go to be euthanized. Except there's two clinics in the same small town and one is trying not to be closed down. Much preferred this one, much punchier

Films like that in foreign languages are usually amazing
