[Drunken Master]

Deadly Chucky Dolls sounds good.

I don't hold out much hope for my film for tonight either.

003 Sniper
004 Beast With A Gun

I only get through so many films because of doing sleep over shifts and having young kids, not out much after 7pm!

005. Chanbara Striptease 2/5

Attractive women swordfighting topless and sex! Lots of sex. Advertised as a film of "Blades Babes & Boobs" you think that says it all. If only the film was a bit more fun it would feel like more than just a second rate samurai sexploitation flick. At a very short 1 hour and 5 minutes at least it doesn't waste too much time. It's not quite as sleezy as you'd expect either.


006. SLC Punk 2.5/5

SLC stands for Salt Lake City. This indie comedy about rebelling Punk Rockers in a Mormon dominated State is never as sharp or cutting as you would think. There are some interesting facts thrown in to the drama but this ends up just being a film about a youth acting like an idiot waiting to grow up into a responsible adult.

005. The Darjeeling Limited
006. Cloverfield

[Drunken Master]

007. Funny Games U.S. 3/5

Almost a shot for shot remake by orininal director Michael Haneke that somehow manages to be less powerful than his German version. Worth seeing if you haven't seen the original, but go there if you can.

008. Drag Me To Hell. 3/5

This is a rewatch for me and although the mix of horror and gross out comedy is spot on I can't help thinking how much I need to rewatch the Evil Dead films. Fun but possibly a touch over hyped.

005. Dangerous Person

[Knetan]

006. Fatal Mission

007. From Dusk Till Dawn

[Drunken Master]

009. The Wolf Man 3/5

This Universal classic from 1941 is set in Wales though not filmed there, yet that little fact is never mentioned at all and almost everyone has American accents. The cutting edge monster effects are pretty lame but Lon Chaney Jr does bring a fair bit of emotion to his role of Laurence Talbot, the reluctant monster. It is also worth noting that for a werewolf film there are no shots of the full moon.

007. Scott Pilgrim vs The World

[Drunken Master]

010. In The Line Of Duty III 4/5

I can't believe it has taken me so long to get around to watching this little gem. It's been on my to watch pile for months. The action is pretty much wall to wall with quite a bit of it far more brutal and bloody than anything in the previous "Duty" films. I have to confess that Cynthia Khan won me over in the opening sequence where she rips her skirt to do those high kicks. The cameos fom Richard Ng and Eric Tsang were unexpected and fun. Were they playing their "Lucky Stars" characters? It seemed so.
