Gunslinger(1956)
A western from low budget supremo Roger Corman.After the sheriff of town is murdered by a gang of outlaws,his widow takes up his responsibilities and brings the men to justice.Beverly Garland,Alison Hayes and John Ireland all put in decent performances.
7/10
Westworld - 6.5/10.
Thought I should give it a look seeing as the show based on it is on soon. It's a bit dated, but entertaining enough.
It'll be good to see what they can do now, given all the technology we have for film making etc. Should be good.
Tale Of Tales(2016)
Matteo Garrone's English language debut features a number of very baroque tales adapted from Giambattista Basile's Pentamerone.The skill that the director shows in blending them all into one coherent film is brilliant.With a great cast including Salma Hayek,John C.Reilly,Toby Jones and Shirley Henderson whom all exell in their respective roles.
8/10
Frank(2014) An aspiring musician joins a band lead by the title character who always wears a large paper mache head. A pretty bizarre film whose quirkiness grew on me as the did the unusual generally guitar based music. Despite the general weirdness I wanted to know how the characters ended up. Also, there are a couple of inspired scenes. Michael Fassbender in the title role with Domhnall Gleeson as the musician, also starring Maggie Gyllenhaal,Scoot McNairy,Francois Civil & Carla Azar. 6.5/10
Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Gene Wilder was magical along with the film which for me is up there with films like the wizard of oz. Gene Wilder played the perfect combination of eccentric and mad inventor and slight sprinkle of being sinister but the mixture worked so well and he had a amazing singing voice. He was a very talented actor and he will be missed.
Peter Ostrum was great as Charlie he played the role with wide eyed and with innocence, Jack Albertson as Grandpa Joe was great along with Roy Kinnear as Mr Salt. Julie Dawn Cole as the spoiled and horrible Veruca Salt played the role prefectly. R.I.P Gene Wilder 9/10.

Kickboxer Vengance 6 outta 10
Bascially Kickboxer story Brother takes up fighting to avenge his brother when he is killed in ring Baddie Played by Dave Bautisita.
Van damme plays the old coach instead of the lead now
Where as Creed was a good addition to the Rocky Franchise this was Crap and like most of Van Dammes Stuff Straight to video
The Last Movie (2012) A director & producer decide to remake a Russian film noir, but their leading lady becomes obsessed.... Certainly made by someone with a love and/or an appreciation of film noir, with shadowy cinematography,the psychology,the noir archetypes like the femme fatale and indeed the film itself is a pastiche of Double Indemnity. It rather overloads the psychobabble towards the end, but there is a strong leading performance from Beth Gondek. Also starring Dawna Wright,Nataliya Alyexeyenko, Lawrence Bayne,August Schellenberg & Robert Gulassarian. 6.5/10
TMNT 2 8.5/10
Good Sequel worth a watch
Especilly for Megan Fox in College Girl Outfit
Godzilla (original 1954 version)
The rubber suit effects looks good for the time. A lot darker than one might expect, though, when Godzilla attacks Tokyo. Still an absolute classic.
The Medicine Man(1933)
A comedy from director Redd Davis about a poor,young man,who in utter desperation,impersonates a doctor for money to provide him with an alibi.A funny script is backed up with great acting from Claud Allister,Frank Penttimgell,Ben Welden and Ronald Simpson.
