Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise 2/5

Posted on May 29, 2014 by Mark

Weak fare compared to the first one, but amusing in places. My favourite was Booger learning at the feet of the master Karate Kid-style. His sensei was Snotty. Needed more of that.

Revenge of the Nerds 4/5

Posted on May 28, 2014 by Mark

This is a lot of fun (very dodgy gender politics aside…), and is so 80s, and the 80s is awesome. Some great characters, especially Booger and Pointdexter. I’d forgotten Booger Presley too. Funny to see a young John Goodman as … Continue reading →

Revolt of the Zombies 1/5

Posted on May 7, 2014 by Mark

Quite dreadful movie from the 30s that has two redeeming features – it’s only an hour long, and it apparently features Bela Lugosi’s eyes (lifted from White Zombie). The script makes very little sense, the zombies are kind of hypnotised … Continue reading →

Repulsion 4/5

Posted on April 24, 2014 by Mark

One of those movies that represents a primal nightmare, in this case of a single woman who is not comfortable with men. She hates her sister’s boyfriend leaving his razor etc in the bathroom over her things, she hates any … Continue reading →

Riddick 3.5/5

Posted on March 27, 2014 by Mark

A stripped down Riddick, getting back to basics that works so well, as it did in Pitch Black and was sorely missing in The Chronicles of Riddick. The first half hour was pretty damn good and distinct, with very little … Continue reading →

The Rescuers Down Under 3.5/5

Posted on March 18, 2014 by Mark

Rather charming Disney feature, unusually (at this time) a sequel. The animation seems to be a distinct step up from the late 60s/70s animation style (though many of the Disney’s from this period are classics, despite a basic animation style), … Continue reading →

Return of the Jedi 4/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

Fun to watch, and better than I remember it. I guess how much you enjoy this one may hinge on how much the ewoks grate on you. I like them. I find them charming, I like the tribal shennanegins and … Continue reading →

Revenge of the Sith 3.5/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

Rather enjoyable conclusion to the prequel trilogy, with some gaping flaws (Annakin turns to the dark side on some really dodgy-sounding arguments from Palpatine – I think the rationales used are fine, but the dialogue is weak), but some rather … Continue reading →

Movie: Red State: Interesting but flawed horror-thriller, with excellent first half 6.5/10

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Mark

Red State The latest film from Kevin Smith, and a big change of gear from his usual, jokey offerings, this is a film that changes gear about every 20 minutes or so – starting as a teen comedy, then switching … Continue reading →
