  The Innocents 2021

  ★★★½ Watched 02 Mar 2024

  Liked this, basically about Scandinavian children on a housing estate discovering they have telekinetic powers. Well shot, some great imagery and the young actors do a great job. An odd, unsettling film. Definitely worth a watch.

  Mr. Vampire 1985

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 13 May 2012

  Adore this film. Perfect Hong Kong cinema.
  The fight scenes are classics, the hopping zombies/vampires are legendary and the whole "hold your breath and the vampires cant see you" thing is brilliant! Thoroughly recommend this.

  Snake in the Eagle's Shadow 1978

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 23 Jul 2012

  This film is awesome.
  One of the best Kung-fu films ever and probably Jackie Chan's 2nd best film (after Drunken Master).
  Some classic training scenes and brilliantly choreographed fight scenes (by the legendary Yuen Woo-Ping who directs this) and the great Siu Tien Yuen (who is actually Yuen Woo-Ping's father!) as the drunk old man, a role which he plays brilliantly, not just in this film.
  Overall a pure kung-fu classic.
