03/01/14 King Kong (1976)

The 27yr old Jessica Lange runs around in small denim shorts. Some other stuff happens with a monkey or something.

7/10 (but mostly for the bits when Kong does his smiley romantic face)

02/01/14 Crossraods (1986)

A young boy kidnaps a black pensioner so that they can visit a junction in the countryside and play guitar with a chap from Whitesnake.

Utter silliness, but very enjoyable.

02/01/14 Tyrannosaur (2011)

A film that you've gotta be in the mood for, however, if you are, then it's a miserableak masterpiece.

Written and directed by Paddy Considine, an icon of ours due to his performance in Dead Man's Shoes, he's done an amazing job with his first film. Not a single shot is wasted and everyone in front of the camera is completely believable.

Yeah, it's glum, but only two days in, it's possibly the film of the year.

Doesn't feature any actual dinosaurs though.

02/01/14 Voodoo Possession (2013)

01/01/2014 The Craft (1996)

Witches at high school film which now seems a bit dated and not as good as we remembered. Think Heathers meets Charmed.

Amusingly Skeet Ulrich's real name is Bryan Trout.

01/01/14 Skyjacked (1972)

Tension-free vintage hijack drama.

4/10

Does bloody Christian Bale have to be in every film? Even ones made two years before he was born. Ubiquitous time-bastard.


"Not now, darling. I'm enjoying my flying pipe."


"Sorry, ladies. It's cold in here."


"What turns me on? The thought of Ronald Regan using an electric shaver..."


"Oh yes!!! The Ronny Razor fantasy is amazing..."


"Looks like you're both in luck" *Bzzzzzzzzz*

01/01/14 American Hustle (2013)

This film was made in 2013, that feels like fucking ages ago.

Film's a tedious Scorsese wannabe bursting at the arse with massive actorly acting. Tedious, overlong  crap with pointless music and people in wigs.

Tries too hard and completely fails.

An anagram of this film's title is: Hamit Arse Uncle. That would be a better film.
