  Game of Death 1978

  ★ Watched 11 Feb 2025

  Seeing that shit-eating grin on Bruce's face when the "new" footage of him finally starts near the end was almost worth slogging through everything that came before. Almost.

  No matter how good those 12 minutes were, it does nothing to redeem this utterly soulless ghoul of a movie.

  The Blair Witch Project 1999

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Nov 2024

  As I watched this for the first time, my (I'm a diabetic) blood-sugar dropped about halfway through the film, resulting in the (for me, rare) symptom of hypoglycaemia: crippling nausea.

  I'm still trying to decide whether or not this added to the experience.

  Fantastic premise. Boring, constant expository, tell-don't-show execution.

  Yakuza Graveyard 1976

  ★★★ Watched 09 Jul 2023

  I will never tire of seeing Nobuo Kaneko playing mustached sleazeballs in Fukasaku films.

  This one really could have done with more Meiko Kaji.
