alexlincs 8th Dec 2021		Cinema Lucía Y El Sexo (Sex And Lucía) (2001) (2001)	Proper title screen now added from Tartan DVD. Picture quality isn't great on DVD.
alexlincs 1st Dec 2021		Cinema The Pillow Book (1996) (1996)	Thanks to Dr Doom for adding this. Upgraded Title screen added from UK DVD.
alexlincs 30th Nov 2021		Cinema The Dead Man 2: Return Of The Dead Man (1994) (1994)	No actual title screen in film.
alexlincs 22nd Nov 2021		Cinema Death Drug (1978) (1978)	Screenshots and Title Screen are from a VHS Rip which is why it looks rough. No commercial release since.
alexlincs 20th Nov 2021		Cinema Pod Mocnym Aniołem (The Mighty Angel) (2014) (2014)	Proper title screen added.
alexlincs 16th Nov 2021		Cinema Teito Monogatari (Tokyo: The Last Megalopolis) (1988) (1988)	I was going to review this, but all what needs to be said is it's not as good as the anime. The special FX were good at the time, but now I think most people will laugh at them.
alexlincs 15th Nov 2021		Cinema El Club (The Club ) (2015) (2015)	Proper Title Screen now added from DVD. Titles appear at the end of the film.
alexlincs 12th Nov 2021		Cinema Hookers Hustlers Pimps And Their Johns (1993) (1993)	This documentary has some of its dialogue sampled in the Manic Street Preachers track Yes.
alexlincs 8th Nov 2021		Cinema Hard Eight (1996) (1996)	[YouTube Video]
alexlincs 6th Nov 2021		Cinema Matador (1986) (1986)	Title screen and screenshots from Blu Ray now up.
alexlincs 6th Nov 2021		Cinema Bronco Bullfrog (1969) (1969)	I've added some new screenshots and title from the blu ray.
alexlincs 5th Nov 2021		Cinema Bad Boy Bubby (1993) (1993)	Censored and uncensored title screens now up.
alexlincs 12th Oct 2021		Cinema 城市特警 (The Big Heat ) (1988) (1988)	This is a loose remake of 1953 American film. It is very violent and features some great stunts, highly recommended.
alexlincs 1st Oct 2021		Cinema Jubilee (1978) (1978)	Times Square was like a really bad rip-off of a John Hughes film. Suburbia I quite like; it was like the Kids from the Black Hole song brought to life, but not not as good as it should have been given the same director did three excellent documentaries and scored a home run later with Wayne's World. Rude Boy - I've not seen I was put off by it being over 2 hours long. Oh, also forgot Sid & Nancy. Great acting by Gary Oldman and some excellent photography, but given Alex Cox knows punk and was friends with Joe Strummer it came across like it was written by somebody who read Sex Pistols biography and put it into a film. For some reason people love that film though.
alexlincs 30th Sep 2021		Cinema 鬼打鬼 (Encounter Of The Spooky Kind) (1980) (1980)	Higher res title screen from BluRay now added as well as screenshots from the same source.
alexlincs 30th Sep 2021		Cinema Jubilee (1978) (1978)	@Burton LeB Great review. I rated it slightly higher at 6 out of 10. I think it is style over substance. Every punk film I've seen has been a disappointment, unless it's a documentary: Fabulous Stains, Breaking Glass, Times Square, Who killed Bambi?, Jubilee. They're all a good snapshot of the time, but where's the punk equivalent of Quadrophenia?
alexlincs 9th Sep 2021		Cinema Coming Down The Mountain (2007) (2007)	"Drama about the relationship between two young brothers. David is a typical 15-year-old with a colourful imagination. Ben is slightly older and has Down's syndrome. When their family decide to move for the sake of Ben's education, David's growing resentment of his brother takes a macabre turn."
alexlincs 5th Sep 2021		Cinema Cinderella (2021)	Proper title screen now added. It's the one with the light blue background.
alexlincs 15th Aug 2021		Cinema La Teta Y La Luna (The Tit And The Moon) (1994) (1994)	Title screen now added from DVD.
alexlincs 17th Jul 2021		Cinema The Rachel Papers (1989) (1989)	I've always wondered why this has no UK DVD despite being a UK production and based on a book by a famous British author.
alexlincs 11th Jul 2021		Cinema The Broken Circle Breakdown (2012) (2012)	CD Soundtrack on 45Worlds here
alexlincs 25th Jun 2021		Cinema Pink Flamingos (1972) (1972)	Oddly enough Pink Flamingos still hasn't got Blu Ray treatment and is missing from Streaming platforms. I used to own the USA R1 DVD.
alexlincs 30th Apr 2021		Cinema 鉄男 (Tetsuo: The Iron Man) (1989) (1989)	Scrolling title screen so it's quite difficult to capture.
alexlincs 24th Mar 2021		Cinema Little Rural Riding Hood (1949) (1949)	I forgot about Benny Hill. I can definitely see that now, a lot of his sketches were very cartoonish as well as being classic comedy of manners and slapstick.
alexlincs 4th Jan 2021		Cinema Dirty Weekend (1993)	I've got The Nightcomers (1971) to watch later this year. It's weird if Winner wasn't known for Death Wish who knows what he would have directed as his 60s films like I'll Never Forget What's'isname are really more in the style of Kitchen Sink dramas. I wouldn't say he is a great director, but Bronson's monotone acting (who can be a great actor) and endless sequels to Death Wish really gave him a bad reputation, coupled with the fact he had the reputation of being a diva on and off set. His restaurant reviews are occasionally hilarious if you are into his acerbic humour and he was one of the few people to argue against Mary Whitehouse and film censorship for most his career. Along with his friend Ken Russell sorely missed in a slew of mediocre directors that copy Pulp Fiction, Woody Allen or Richard Curtis ad-nauseum. My favourite quote: "An OBE is what you get if you clean the toilets well at King's Cross station" - No wonder he wasn't knighted.
alexlincs 29th Dec 2020		Cinema Chillerama (2011) (2011)	Just to echo what Twistin said I saw this on Netflix when they offered a 1 month trial for free, to give you an idea how long ago it was. I was expecting something which referenced films like The Blob or a good anthology with some nods and winks to horror films like V/H/S. As mentioned campy and unfunny and owes more to (bad) Troma films than schlock horror films of the 60s\70s.
alexlincs 10th Nov 2020		Cinema The Flesh And Blood Show (1972) (1972)	I saw this recently. I have to agree as much of a fan as I am of Pete Walker, it suffers from comparisons to Theatre Of Blood which is miles better. Flesh and Blood Show is quite dull, like a lot of the earlier Pete Walker films it feels like it's a 60 minute film stretched out to 93 minutes.
alexlincs 6th Nov 2020		Cinema Aala Kaf Ifrit (Beauty And The Dogs) (2017) (2017)	Thanks for adding the title screen, that's amazing.
alexlincs 29th Sep 2020		Cinema Pinocchio (2019)	Weird how Roberto Benigni appears in both films.
alexlincs 22nd Sep 2020		Cinema Heavy Metal 2000 (2000) (2000)	Canada / Germany co-production
