 | Review: All you need is Brains!
Just about as good a zombie movie as you'd wish to see.
Very simple set up:
Young guy gets new job in a cadaver and scientific specimen storage facility, and the older h=guy there showing him the ropes, and bragging a little (oops), tells him... |
 | Title screen from 2K restoration now added |
 | Review: A pretty awful movie that feels like it was meant to be something else, but was bodged to get it out the door in some kind of movie shape.
Subsequent reading online reveals this story takes it's cue from a true story, about a player's strike in the NFL in the eighties, and... |
 | (I must also mention in passing the disturbing similarities in the two lead actors and James Franco and a miniature Skeet Ulrich). |
| Review: The most eighties movie you will ever see.
(...And that's some stiff competition!)
This is a movie who's name ha entered my consciousness only in the last few months, on account of being mentioned here and there as a tough one to find on DVD...
...And there's a reason for... |
 | Wages Of Fear on ice :happy: |
 | Review: Unholy Cow!
Was not expecting this from Kevin Smith (Clerks / Mallrats / Dogma etc.), as this doesn't look or feel like one of his movies... In fact, it doesn't even look or feel like the DVD cover / poster art would lead you to believe this movie was going to be...... |
 | Review: The joy of joylessness.
I only ever heard of Harvey Pekar relatively recently, and that was through something on tv about this film.
A really inventive, original movie about the everyday life of Mr Pekar, and his pursuit of the idea that those everyday happenings would be... |
 | Anyone else think Jon Hamm would make an excellent casting choice for a new Indiana Jones? |
 | Well this is just Bats$%t crazy!
I would have rated it a 6, but the last twenty minutes of this are just mental... and it really made me smile.
Can't give any better a review than 23skidoo's, so won't. |
 | Notice also, how they have straight up lifted the portrait of Cagney on the cover of the Angels With Dirty Faces DVD for the cover of this DVD. |
| Review: The best of the bunch.
This was the last Cagney movie in the box set I have, and not the most well known (to me at least), having no particular notoriety for iconic moments or lines like White Heat, Angels With Dirty Faces, or The Public Enemy, but for me, this one is by... |
 | Review: Undeliverance.
I have a vague memory of this coming out at the time, and being rather dismissive of it, thinking it was just going to be a cheap, throwaway shlock-fest comedy horror... which it is, mainly, except for the throwaway part. As this has actually got a genius... |
 | Review: This is a bad movie.
...Not bad in the sense that others are bad - say, Showgirls, The Room, or something, which are so hilariously bad they deserve some sort of attention for their badness alone. No, this is just bad film-making, with a weird concoction of attempted well... |
 | The title screen is a projection within the film hence the letterboxing and rare for a film of this age are about 12 minutes in. For anyone trying to see it is available on Amazon in some countries. |
 | Review: Having seen Angels With Dirty Faces, and been more impressed than I thought I would be by James Cagney, I found a DVD box-set of four of his films - this amongst them... And it's a curious one to summarise my feelings about really...
...Right away, having seen White Heat... |
 | Review: This is a monster of a documentary!
(And effectively a movie in it's own right)
Running over three and a half hours or so, it is brilliant at tracking the genesis, development and production of the best movie of all time, as well as it's legacy.
I'd never actually seen... |
 | Review: Saw this in the cinema at time of release, and really liked it...
...Unfortunately, most of the rest of the world didn't very much, and so, it seems mostly forgotten.
It is probably the best "superhero" movie of it's time - way ahead in terms of production values and... |
 | This looks to be an episode of The Real Story of... series.
On IMDB, in addition to a separate film entry for this title has this as the 7th episode of season 1 of this series here. |
