While We're Young (2014) (2014)
Rated 9/10
In cinemas in the UK now and highly recommended for anyone in their 40s or 20s.

The soundtrack is by James Murphy and if his LCD Soundsystem track 'Losing My Edge' ever made you chuckle then this film will probably have much the same effect.

What do you do when you start to think that your best years are probably behind you and you realise that someone in their mid twenties has the energy, bravery and verve to do more in one afternoon than you've achieved in a year?

It's painful to watch at times but very funny too.

It's been said before about Noah Baumbach but if you long for Woody Allen films when they used to be great then he's probably as close as you'll get this side of a time machine.

La Polizia Chiede Aiuto (What Have They Done To Your Daughters?) (1974) (1974)
Rated 6/10
This was almost really good. The killer looks great, head to toe in biker gear (including helmet) and brandishing a butcher's cleaver. There are some great sets and the overall look is of a classic Euro crime/horror flick.

It's let down however by a pretty threadbare plot that goes nowhere just as it threatens to get interesting (Senior politicians and other dignitaries involved in a secret teenage prostitution ring)

Overall one that I'm happy to have watched once but am unlikely to watch again.

It's very good indeed. But I suspect you already know that!?

Cat People (1982)
Yup, that's the way to do it.

In some cases if a really well known film shares a title then you could always just put [Date] on the obscure one.

i.e. If it turned out there was another film called Star Wars I wouldn't do Star Wars [1977]

A great film. And possibly the most customized Youtube film of all time?

Don't Answer The Phone! (1980) (1980)
Mmm. Maybe more like 'Don't watch the film!' - I thought this was pretty dreadful.

A damaged Vietnam Veteran turns religiously driven serial rapist/murderer and is tracked down by a couple of wise cracking cops.

That might be an OK premise but there is no suspense, no back story and no plot.

The only thing I liked was the schizoid synthesiser soundtrack.

Riti, Magie Nere E Segrete Orge Nel Trecento (The Reincarnation of Isabel) (1973) (1973)
Review
This film is a delicious mess of 70s Euro erotic horror cliches with Satanism, Vampirism Sadism and Lesbianism in abundance.

It doesn't make a massive ammount of sense and the pacing is pedestrian but the decent psychedelic cinematography and high flesh/blood count make it very slightly above average genre fodder IMHO.

The last five minutes are especially trippy veering from dark demonic images to a comical ending involving a ballerina!?

I'm still not quite sure what it was all about but as they say in the script It's a thin line between the known and the unknown.

6/10

Cool It Carol! (1970) (1970)
Rated 7/10
This is surprisingly racy for 1970. i got a bit of a shock when they said 'The F-word' and started skinning up joints. It must have been positively shocking at the time of release (In the UK at least)

Strange to see Robin Askwith playing his usual cheeky chappie in a much darker tone. He's basically a pimp!

Three (Survival Island) (2005) (2005)
There's really not much of a story to this film. It just seems an excuse to have Kelly Brook in a bikini for an hour and a half, which is OK obviously but still….

Green Ice (1981) (1981)
A fairly pedestrian jewel caper but interesting to Rolling Stones fans for it's demented Bill Wyman soundtrack.
