  • Police Story 3: Super Cop

    This is just amazing. Should really be called Secret Service Story.

  • Braindead

    Yesterday was Halloween, so I watched Braindead. Peter Jackson’s love letter to his favourite films: King Kong, Raiders of the Lost Ark and schlocky gory stuff.

  • Army of Darkness

    Braindead without the mommy issues.

  • Freejack

    The one where Mick Jagger is the good badguy with a silly helmet.

  • Sister Act

    Hallelujah! Another cool musical. I was nun the wiser they existed.

  • Sneakers

    I thought there was No Such Agency when I was born, but between this and The Conversation, it was public as hell. 20 years later, after Snowden, this kind of skulking is of course outdated: now the front company is called Cloudflare, instead of Setec Astronomy.

  • A Few Good Men

    What truth? You can’t handle the truth! This is just a military courtroom drama, but it’s still air-punching great to see injustice vanquished and the All-American Justice System (the JAG military types) restore honour to innocents.

  • Candyman

    What do you mean, Philip Glass composed the soundtrack for a seminal slasher film? How did that happen, did Clive Barker just said Philip Glass, Philip Glass, Philip Glass, Philip Glass, Philip Glass in front of a mirror?

  • 1492: Conquest of Paradise

    Pure unbridled Columbus hagiography. A failed attempt at mimicking the old sword and sandals epic. The Vangelis score is much greater than the film itself.

  • ALIEN³

    Another Alien “sequel”, something that is technically a direct followup, but is in fact a whole other film. A crew of supermax prisoners have the hots for Ripley, but only the doctor gets a chance to relieve his blue balls, then he is brutally killed by the Alien.

  • The Last of the Mohicans

    They mean Mohawk, some kind of sub-tribe? I do not fully understand the Native American ways.

  • Chaplin

    I mean, it’s a Charlie Chaplin biopic, with a lot of the actual films. That’s cheating, if you can use the final speech from The Great Dictator. I really preferred Eddie Izzard in The Cat’s Meow.
