--/--/16 Jackie Brown (1997)

Remember when Tarantino films were something you looked forward to rather than an irritation? This one's from that era.

Dunno, maybe I just find him irritating.

Probably both.

Perkin.

--/--/16 Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer (2006)

I went to bed about half way through this. Podd watched the rest. It was a bit spazzy.

Perkin.

--/--/16 Afterdeath (2015)

Some people wake up on a beach. The only things in the otherwise empty landscape is a cabin and a lighthouse. Something feels 'off' and they soon realise they have all died and they're in a purgatorial shed until it's time to move on. Much like a Saga holiday must feel?


The first two-thirds are good, the last is splashy dollops.

Perkin

--/--/16 Jeruzalem (201)

Apparently every so often, at different places around the globe, a doorway to hell opens or something and loads of people become possessed and start flying about.


Although better in some ways than I was expecting, the main characters are annoying and it's a found footage film recorded on those fucking Google computer glasses. Dunno if it actually was, but that's the USP of it. 
Not sure about eternal damnation, but Google definitely deserve a fucking punch in the arse. Tax cunts, fuck off and take your glasses with you.

Perkin

--/--/16 Mission To Mars (2000)

I didn't watch this, Podd did. She said it got very silly at the end.

Perkin.

--/--/16 Moonwalkers (2015)

A film about the moon landings, or rather the CIA's supposed back-up plan of getting Stanley Kubrick to film a fake moon landing in case the real one went arse-shaped, therefore, presumably, maintaining the whole 'America has conquered the moon' propaganda.

When a cockney views something in great detail: Proper gander.


Anyway, rather than netting the real Kubrick, the Yanks accidentally hire some chancer pretending to be him and his mate. Film's a strange blend of knockabout comedy an surprisingly graphic, bloody violence. Ideal for someone who likes a bit of chucklemurder.

--/--/16 The Veil 2016

Not yet released but uploaded to a few streaming sites by some internet scamps. I sometimes wonder if that kind of leaking is intentional, as public reaction can be quietly gauged then whatever editorial amendments deemed wise can be applied and the leaked version can be claimed as an unfinished work print or somesuch. Dunno, just a thought.

Anyway, a film about a documentary crew returning to the scene of a mass cult suicide that took place 25 years earlier.

If you're a regular reader of this twaddle, when I say starring Thomas Jane, you can probably fill in the blanks.


He showed so much promise in The mist.
