01/08/15 The Cutting Room (2015)

Another found footage film. At least they put some thought into it. Not much, but enough to justify its existence.

01/08/15 Spy (2015)

Are you an undemanding, mentally soft, fleshcog in the machine of absolute cultural hegemony? Then you'll love this film! It has a fat lady who wears wigs and swears! You'll think it's brilliant, then when it's finished drive home in your four-door diesel car back to your semi-detached house, drink a single glass of supermarket wine, tut at the late news headlines, then go to bed and possibly perform unsatisfactory sex with your partner whilst secretly thinking of that person from work.

Awful film made for cretins that deserves to have every single copy put into a giant wicker fat lady and burned whilst spectators perform pagan acts of rutting, invoking the ancient dark ones who will bring destruction to the writers and financiers responsible for creating such horrendous sensory assaults.


Utter fucking bumwash.

--/07/15 War Inc. (2008)

Little seen John Cusack film that was originally intended to be a sequel to Grosse Point Blank.
I'll have to watch GPB again as everyone seems to wank themselves purple over it and I remember it being a bit meh.

Anyway, this films definitely meh.


Shame as I've always liked John Cusack. With his funny face and stuff.

--/07/15 Ghoul (2015)

Until recently, pretty much up until I put this film on, I was one of the few remaining fans of the found footage style. However this one has pretty much dropped it all in the bollock-bin for me.

Shite premise. Annoying, screechy acting. Unlikely character decisions.
Using a real life child killer, many of whose victims will still have surviving family, as the supernatural threat of your fucking rubbish spook-flick is also something of a cunt's move.


All in all a poorly made heap of fucking rubbish that all involved should be ashamed of.

--/07/15 Break A Leg (2005)

Hello again.

Missed out on July's final few entries, so you can have them now. Aren't you lucky?*


Struggling actor decides to start doing dodgy stuff to get noticed. By dodgy stuff I mean pushing casting rivals down stairs and suchlike, not fisting porn or midget snuff.

Stuck somewhere between a comedy and a drama without being very strong in either, it was still a fair effort.

Could you imagine if this was a British film? Rather than pursuing small roles in mega-budget blockbusters, and drowning their sorrows in balmy, neon-lit bars, it would be about some actor hoping to get a role in a panto and dipping his fishfinger in a cup of tea.

Heh. Dipping hi fishfinger. Sounds rude.


*No.

27/07/15 Laserblast (1978)

It would work well as a double bill with Gymkata.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077834/
5/10 (With +/- 5 points, depending on what you're after)

Dr Mellon? Sounds more like a Sid James kinda thing to me. Y'know, assisted by Matron Bristols etc.


"That's right, son. U.S. Army insanity division. Decorated at the battle of Bibble-Bibble Ridge. No if you don't mind, I'm busy, those windows ain't gonna lick themselves."


"Desmond! Found yer egg whisk, mate. left it in the desert again, you bellamy!"


"Would you like a glass of piss?"
"Yeah, thanks, er, Rodney Bewes?"


"To give the quick explanation, Croydon."


"I'm about to start my French car for the first time, will it be safe?"


"...Nope."

26/07/15 Catch Hell (2014)

A young actor gets kidnapped by a pair of rednecks as he apparently did a sex with a Mrs Redneck. Some lightly satirical touches that elevate it beyond the usual bumrape-in-a-shack stuff.
