Westworld, Futureworld and Rodan – episode 143
Mark pulls a solo shift in this one, covering a whole set of movies: Westworld Futureworld Rodan High Anxiety Viy Revenge of the Nerds Revenge of the Nerds 2: Nerds in Paradise Hour of the Wolf Fantastic Voyage Faster, Pussycat! … Continue reading
Four Lions 4/5
Rather good comedy about something that i thought might be beyond comedy at the moment, the exploits of inept suicide bombers. I really wasn’t expecting it to be this good, and it’s a very British comedy to me, I wonder … Continue reading
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! 4/5
The first 10 minutes take a little acclimation as you get used to the dreadful acting, but they are made easier by the gogo dancing clips, but once Tura Satana goads the guy into racing, the massive energy and sheer … Continue reading
Fantastic Voyage 3/5
Goofy “boys own” adventure involving miniaturized people in a cool submarine craft that looks like something from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, with some dated, though still cool, special effects, with a very A to B story. Contains … Continue reading
Freaks – Odd One Out 061
Mark covers the half-silly, half-sympathetic, half-shocking movie, Freaks
Filth 4/5
Wow, a real tour-de-force with McAvoy as a complete asshole, who we get to see as a tortured, lonely man in this Scottish comedy version of Bad Lieutenant. This film is funny, repulsive, tragic in turns, and it did feel … Continue reading
Fermat’s Room 3.5/5
Nicely made film that looks great, and solid script and performances. The central conceit intrigues right up until you find out exactly who is responsible, and the revelation doesn’t live up to the original promise, and as you think it … Continue reading
Friday the 13th 2009 2.5/5
Dark reboot of the original series, which is boring when Jason isn’t around, and pretty good when he is. There’s numerous references to the ‘classic’ movies, especially the first 3 (but there are definitely other visual references to other ones), … Continue reading
Freddy Versus Jason 3/5
Yeah, reasonably fun, but with long sections with too little Jason or Freddy, especially in the first half. When they actually were either fighting or terrorising the kids, it was decent enough, but a little more Freddy humour would have … Continue reading

Friday the 13th 9: Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday 3/5
Completely bonkers Jason tale, that deviates wildly from the usual formula of kids in woods + Jason into a tale of body-jumping Jason hunting down a new body. Mixing elements of The Omen, Dog The Bounty Hunter, The Hidden and … Continue reading
Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan 3/5
Decent entry into the Jason tales, with some creative deaths and a little tension, but needed to spend more time in Manhattan to be properly fun. Enjoyable enough though. Best kill: Jason punching a guy’s head off.
Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood 2.5/5
Ridiculous sequel where, even though people find corpses throughout the woods, they act as if nothing has happened and decide to get some air in the same woods. It’s not completely without charm though, as Kane Hodder’s reanimated Jason gives … Continue reading
Friday the 13th 6: Jason Lives 3/5
A definite improvement on all the sequels (especially the terrible 5th one), this has some talent, wit and decent ideas going on, with some nice tension and jumpscares. I liked this Frankensteinian Jason, who walked fast, and seemed relentless.
Friday the 3th 5:A New Beginning 1/5
wow this is rank. Every single character exists only to die in a usually cursory and unconvincing way, as they meander through dialogue that exists only to bridge the bodycount. Even the motivation of this new “Jason” is utterly ridiculous. … Continue reading
Friday the 13th 4: The Final Chapter 2.5/5
pretty weak entry, with very little tension or decent dialogue, but bolstered by Marty McFly’s dad, and a pretty good final act where a kid takes the war to Jason – AND THAT KID IS COREY FELDMAN WITH A SHAVED … Continue reading
Movie Review: Fear is the Key – A great overlooked 70s action thriller 7.5/10
Fear is the Key (1973) A good, twisty, jagged little thriller based on a book by Alistair Maclean where things are not what they seem. Barry Newman is excellent in this as the protagonist that is initially quite rotten as … Continue reading
Movie Review: Fright Night 2 – rather poor 80s horror/comedy that isn’t very scary or funny 3/10
Fright Night 2 Okay Fright Night was recently made with David Tennant channelling Russell Brand as a vampire hunter, but this is a review of the sequel to the rather charming original. This sequel suffers from a number of problems. … Continue reading
