The House That Jack Built (2018) - Been looking forward to this for a while and it did not disappoint. Yeah it had some shocking moments but nothing too crazy. All those film critics who walked out on this film are intellectual cowards. Nothing in this film warrants a walk out unless you were...

Some movies I've recently watched: Spirited Away (2001) - Amazing anime, I had no idea just how crazy the plot is to this. Funny & fantastical, endlessly inventive plus some memorable characters. Hard to find any flaws with this. 9.5/10 Solaris (1972) - Russian Sci-Fi classic from Tarkovsky...

Finished watching the last season of Adventure Time. What a fitting end to one of the best cartoons of all time. Finale was pretty much perfect, one of the best endings to a series ever. Still, it sucks that Adventure Time was cancelled as it's clear that they hadn't run out of new ideas or...

Unsane (2018) - Decent thriller. Not particularly memorable and the ending was a bit underwhelming but a solid thriller with good acting and an original visual style. 6/10 Blade of the Immortal (2018) - Takashi Miike's 100th movie and one of his best. Lots of bloody samurai action & wry humour...

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - One of the few Kubrick films I hadn't seen yet. Hasn't aged at all, still spectacular. Excellent for the most part, but I didn't care for the last 10 mins or so. (8/10) Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017) - Awesome action thriller. Vince Vaughn was terrific, film got a...

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) - Surprisingly conventional horror/thriller from Yorgos Lanthimos. I still liked this and it was darker and more uncompromising than the average horror movie but I was slightly underwhelmed overall. Certainly a well made movie with great acting & score. Also...

Mother! (2017) - Finally got round to watching this. Pretty weird stuff, last 40 minutes were intense/insane. Some of the allegorical stuff went over my head but I still enjoyed this. Sure, it's pretentious, but it's still entertaining. 7/10 Bone Tomahawk (2015) - This was awesome. Wasn't...

Near Dark (1987) - Cool vampire movie. Bit different to your typical vampire movie, good mix of action, comedy & gore. Couple of outstanding scenes, ending a bit weak but still an enjoyable movie. 7/10 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance (1994) - Interesting movie from Michael Haneke. 71...

Some movies I've recently seen: Ivan's Childhood (1962) - Excellent movie about a 12 year Russian boy who is a scout on the front line in WWII. Not much action, but tense and artfully shot. Compared to Tarkovsky's other movies the pacing is quite brisk and plot more straightforward. One of the...

Fantastic Planet (1973) - Terrific & really weird French animated sci-fi. Set on an alien planet were humans are kept as pets by gigantic Alien creatures, the humans acquire Alien knowledge and set about an uprising. Story is straight forward enough but the imagery is just crazy. All kinds of...

Princess Mononoke (1997) - Epic, violent anime adventure. Great animation and an interesting story, philosophical at times but things are never black & white. I can see why animation fans consider Hayao Miyazaki a god. 8.5/10 Death Note / Death Note: The Last Name (2006) - This is essentially...

Dark City (1998) - Terrific sci-fi, mystery movie that seems underappreciated. Very original movie, pretty high concept for its time which is probably why it didn't do so well at the box office. Best to watch this knowing as little as possible plotwise. I was surprised numerous times throughout...

Some movies I've watched recently: The Void (2016) - Gory, sci-fi/horror movie. Not bad at all. Great special effects, fast moving plot, not too predictable. Could've done with some slightly better acting from the leads though. Horror fans should check it out. 6.5/10 Elle (2016) - French...

A Ghost Story (2017) - Haunting movie. I liked it in the end but the first 30 minutes were way too slow and quite a chore to sit through. After that though the pace picks up and you're rewarded in the end. Not for everyone but arthouse fans should check this one out. 7/10

Altered States (1980) - Interesting movie to say the least! Very intelligent movie mixed in with some bizarre imagery. Weird, but great stuff. 8/10

Something like this: Pan's Labyrinth Oldboy City of God Dr Strangelove Memento Tale of Two Sisters La Haine Ran Network Battle Royale

Lol at the softies here, A Serbian Film wasn't that bad. It's more a (seriously) black comedy that anything. Martyrs is a great extreme horror movie. I thought Human Centipede 2 was more messed up than those two films. If you want to watch something real extreme try watching some Marian Dora!

The Raid (2011) - Great action movie. Fast moving plot, not the most original plot I suppose but the fight scenes were stunning. Shoot-outs, hand to hand, weapons, all the diffferent styles of action were brilliantly done. No chaotic camera work during fight scenes either. 8.5/10 A Night of...

Train to Busan (2016) - Excellent zombie flick, been meaning to watch this. Got pretty much everything you could want in a zombie movie. Fast paced, lots of great action scenes, good special effects (even though it's not really that gory), likeable protagonists & well plotted. South Korea cinema...

Colossal (2017) - Weird, original monster movie starring Anne Hathaway. About at party girl who moves back home after she's kicked out of here boyfriends apartment and she discovers her actions are related to a monster causing chaos in South Korea. Starts out strange but funny, but things take a...

Total Recall (1990) - Classic. Stills holds up well after all these years. Not that I've seen it, but I fail to see the need for the remake when the original has hardly dated at all. Smart, funny, cool special effects & Arnie kicking arse. Great movie. 8.5/10

Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991) - Ridiculously fun, super violent, action movie from Hong Kong. About a young man with supernatural strength who's locked up and ends up trying to reform the corrupt system using martial arts. Knowingly cheesy at times, super gory at others as Ricky unleashes...

Scum (1979) - Uncompromising, powerful prison drama. Great acting from all, but especially from a young Ray Winstone who's terrifying as a young thug marking his territory. There's several memorable scenes & great dialogue throughout. There's some absolutely brutal scenes, this movie still packs...

Run Lola Run (1998) - Fast-paced enjoyable German thriller. Fun movie, never slows down. 8/10

Yeah I'm pretty sure Billy is the guy in the cell. Tina is the person Audrey's 'husband' called in her introduction scene. She was the last person to see Billy according to Audrey.

Good summary. Some of the plotlines seem to be coming together and then Sarah Palmer pulls her face open and rips a guys throat apart. And now there's a guy with a magic glove who suddenly looks like he might have a big role to play. Great episode.

Here's a good example:

The Last Man on Earth (1964) - The first film adaptation of short novel I Am Legend starring Vincent Price. This a dark, solemn & depressing story and despite some budget-related problems I really enjoyed this. This is also the first film to depict zombies. Vincent Price is outstanding as...

Lots of funny moments in that episode. Obviously the opening scene, the detectives basically cracking the case then throwing it in the bin because its too ridiculous, Dougie 'saving' Anthony from murdering him. Also Lynch trolling at maximum level by making us relive this:

Yup. Still, I hope he makes a sequel to D9.
