Flying Virus

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 […]

Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD

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 […]

Super Troopers

This follows some Vermont state troopers who play some ace jokes on drivers who are passing through their stretch of highway but eventually have to do some police work. I enjoyed it and it’s really funny in places. The opening gags they play on a car full of stoners are really good. Sky Movies Colour […]

Darkness Falls

Caught this via Sky Movies – missed it at the cinema. This is a neat horror movie that has the Tooth Fairy as a kickass nasty piece of work who hunts down people who peaked at her during her collection of their final baby tooth. It’s far better than it sounds and it turns out […]

Garden State

Cool movie with a really good pace to it. Does the whole “what’s life about / getting your head straight” thing better than anything recently and with some well composed quirky scenes. I really enjoyed it – it’s an amazing debut from Zach Braff who wrote and directed. Also has a mucho cool soundtrack too. […]

Tromeo and Juliet

I got this DVD at the ‘Make Your Own Damn Movie’ Masterclass in London with Lloyd Kaufmann. It’s a modern, punk adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic but with body piercing, chessy gore, over the top acting and Lemmy from Motorhead narrating. If you’ve not seen a Troma movie then beware – If you have then this […]

The Murder Room

Two part BBC drama based on a PD James book – caught them both in a 3 hour sitting. Not bad – although we did guess the whodunnit! BBC TV Colour ***

Terror of Mechagodzilla

Yeah. Toho Movies rule! This is one that has the spacemen from the third planet constructing a mechagodzilla to destroy Tokyo so that they can rebuild it as they want. Also includes a mad Dr who can control another monster called Titanosaurus, but fear not as good old Godzilla appears and beats them both up […]
