    [REC]

    ★★★★

    The slow build to the last 10 minutes is still so good.   Great watch with my 13 year old daughter.  She often wondered what we’ve all always wondered: would they have survived if Angela wasn’t so tucking loud!

  • Five Superfighters

    Five Superfighters

    ★★★½

    Well this was a nice surprise!  

    A kung fu film I’ve never heard of, that looks and feels like its supposed to be the Shaw Brothers equivalent of a B grade martial arts film, with no real stars and a very small budge.  Possibly no real script either.

    The film opens with an absolutely hilarious riff on kung fu genre conventions, and features some tight choreography.  Then it drags for a time, albeit with a few funny bits, but finishes strong with an incredibly choreographed finale.  Definitely worth a watch. Or two.

    The Bird with the Crystal Plumage

    ★★★★

    Still the best film about birds with crystal plumage ever committed to celluloid.

  • All the Colors of the Dark

    All the Colors of the Dark

    ★★★½

    A fever dream giallo filled with a striking array of kaleidoscopic imagery, a weird sex cult, family trauma, elevators, knives and questionable doctors.  Edwige Fenech is mesmerizing.
