02/01/15 Devil's Tower (2014)

This film was about as pleasant as shitting the bed, but less fun.

01/01/15 Predator 2 (1990)

Don't care what wankers say, I actually prefer this to the first one.

01/01/15 The Legend Of Hell House (1973)

Vintage Brit-spooker (based on a book set in America) about... Well, you can most likely work it out from the title.
It benefits from a surprisingly contemporary feel, certainly when held in comparison to other British films of that period, although some of the 'phenomena babble' is massive toilet by any era's standards.
Some parts are ripe for parody, the attacking kitten and sexy-time with a ghost in particular (both of which have been parodied in films, apparently) but otherwise a film that manages to retain a decent creep-vibe, Daddio.

"Seriously, Gerard! Must you spend every evening dressed as an antique chair?"



"The internet is sluggish! Feed it more coal!"


Actually very similar selection of titles in my chod-bin library.


Roddy McDowall's character reminded me of someone...

Aah, yes. That's him.


"Never mind all this Satanic hullabaloo, a stiff cup of tea will sort everything out."

New for the 2015 Amstrad home computing range.

01/01/15 Shaft (1971)

I was surprised that I'd never seen this. Turns out it's a bit bollocks. The version I saw had English subtitles, here's some screen-caps:


Gaaaaay!


Also gay.


A straight shaft is essential for everyone's comfort.


Gay.

01/01/15 The Italian Job (1969)

Conclusive proof that after fifty years in the game, Michael Caine's still a shit actor. And Benny Hill was the nation's favorite sex-case.

01/01/15 Over The Hedge (2006)

I didn't watch this, Podd did. She says it was a good-natured and fun animated film, and no cute animals die. Hurrah!

01/01/15 Roald Dahl's Esio Trot (2015)

Oh fucking hell, here we go again.

Welcome to the fourth year of this bloody nonsense.

This was a cuddly piece of made-for-TV woollyfluff about pensioners falling in love and deception involving shelled reptiles.

It was actually kinda lovely.
