  Once Upon a Time in America 1984

  ★★★★★ Watched 23 Apr 2019 1

  A near-four hour film that zips by and leaves you wanting more. Stunning production design, perfect casting and amazing performances. Highest recommendation to see.

  Sugar Hill 1974

  ★★★½ Watched 22 Apr 2019 1

  Very solid Blaxploitation Revenge/Horror hybrid, with some fantastic old-school Voodoo-Zombie designs. Bonus point for the excellent funk theme "Supernatural Voodoo Woman".

  Mystics in Bali 1981

  ★★★★ Watched 06 Mar 2015

  Indonesia apparently figured out how to film a Box of Insanity back in '81. Mind-bendingly crazy flick is impossible to describe, and MUST be watched with several unsuspecting friends for maximum viewing pleasure.

  Bonus Points for: Floating heads, eight-foot-long tongues, the best maniacal laughter committed to celluloid, and the Deus ex Who-The-Heck-is-This-Guy-A.

  Rumble in the Bronx 1995

  ★★★★ Rewatched 06 Sep 2016

  Goofy script, awful, awful extras, one of the most utterly ridiculous climaxes and the most mountainous New York on film. (Hi, Vancouver!)

  But on the other hand, it's Jackie Chan kicking 19 colours of crap out of people. And there's a hovercraft. So, yeah... four stars!
