Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus 0.5/5

Posted on May 10, 2014 by Mark

There’s very few movies where you watch it and think ‘this could have been better if Michael Bay directed it’, but this is one of them. An atrocity of the art of film making mostly, though it did earn a … Continue reading →

Milius 4/5

Posted on April 24, 2014 by Mark

Compelling but fun documentary about a guy who writes great, grand dialogue, and was a peer of Spielberg, Lucas and all. Really fun to see what he added to the 70s and 80s moviescape. The world is a better place … Continue reading →

Masque of the Red Death 4.5/5

Posted on April 18, 2014 by Mark

I saw this before as a teenager, and thought it was deliberately overwrought and contrived just to fill the running time, and I had that general opinion of Corman’s Poe cycle. However, I watched The Haunted Palace for the first … Continue reading →

Miami Vice: Brother’s Keeper 4.5/5

Posted on April 15, 2014 by Mark

Well, as I watched the first half, I couldn’t help thinking ‘this really isn’t as good as I remember it’. Then we saw Sonny Crockett lived on a yacht. With an alligator called Elvis. Then we saw a judge with … Continue reading →

Mark of the Vampire 3/5

Posted on March 26, 2014 by Mark

This movie reinforces my view that Todd Browning was great at eerie and odd, but pretty terrible at conventional drama. He did it in Dracula, and he does that here. Only his ‘Freaks’ remains a pure masterpiece, because the conventional … Continue reading →

The Man With The Iron Fists 2.5/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

This movie had some real problems, and I was getting bored in the first act. It looked pretty, the action scenes were decent to very good, and you could tell care was taken over the look and feel. However, it … Continue reading →

Mighty Joe Young 3.5/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

I really expected this to be a rerun of King Kong, and for the first 2/3rd it mostly was, but it then wildly diverged into unexpected territory of a chase, followed by rescue that was genuinely exciting. The male lead … Continue reading →

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

A fascinating documentary giving us in the 21st century an insight into the ‘midnight movie’ phenomenon of the 70s, .starting with El Topo and finishing with Eraserhead. Some fine talking heads, insights and period footage made it engaging and funny.

Macabre (1980) 3/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

Odd Italian thriller/horror that suffers the usual problem in Italian horror, in that the motiviation and speech of the characters seems slightly skewed compared to the narrative drive. The main actress was pretty committed, and the ending was pretty good … Continue reading →
