Cool. This aussie zombie movie was kinda like early Peter Jackson movies, written, directed and paid for by some brothers. They used over 600 litres of fake blood during filming and they rendered most of the special FX shots on their home computers. It was great – mad plot about meteors hitting a small fishing […]

More Marx Brothers, this time from 1937. Groucho plays a vet posing as a doctor, along with a race horse owner and his friends struggle to help keep a sanitarium open with the help of a misfit racehorse. Classic set pieces! DVD Region 2 Black & White ***

Harry’s third year at Hogwarts leads him into discovering more dark secrets of the past. I like this one best of the Potters to date – much darker with some cool camera angles. Seemed a bizarre choice to give the director gig to Alfonso Cuaron as his previous works didn’t really spell ‘kids movie’ but […]

Clint, yeah! Clint Eastwood plays a retired FBI dude (following a heart attack chasing down a murderer) who’s approached by the sister of the woman who is his heart donor to help in tracking down her killer. Not quite Dirty Harry but still a cool movie – Clint is ace as the older detective who […]

This film is great – Jack Nicholson plays Warren R Schmidt who retires from the Woodmen of the World Insurance Co. The story follows him as he leaves and the tragedies that follow which lead to him going on a road trip. Sad, funny and with some great cinematography this is a real treasure as […]

Ben and I watched this again. It’s got some really funny sequences and the CGI is really quite impressive. Follows a couple of losers who on the run from the mob put some cash into a jacket which they end up placing on what they think is a dead kangaroo for some photos (they ran […]

So, two virus movies in a week. Flying virus aka Killer Buzz in the USA , is about some developers overseas (led by Rutger Hauer) who invent a virus-carrying-killer-bee to help wipe out the local tribes so that they can get the roads built quicker. Really. Of course someone steals a box load and smuggles […]

Another Troma classic featuring Harry Griswald who is an NYPD cop who gets possessed with the spirit of a great Kabuki master. He’s the chosen one who has to do battle with the evil one etc (as you’d expect!). There’s some great transformation scenes and great laughs – my favourite sequence is probably the big […]
