Duel (1971)

Steven Spielberg's feature length directorial debut is a masterpiece in nerve-shredding tension and psychological terror. Dennis Weaver stars as the panic-stricken travelling salesman who finds himself terrorized by an oil tanker truck on a remote road in the California desert. Weaver was probably a perfect choice for the part, given his history as the twitchy night manager in Touch Of Evil. The performance from the lead, along with Spielberg's direction and the screenplay from Richard Matheson (himself a horror veteran after penning numerous Twilight Zone plays), all combine to ratchet up the fear all the way through the film. The anonymity of the truck driver, plus the absence of motive for Weaver's plight are key factors in steering this thriller to a very satisfying conclusion. Jacqueline Scott, Eddie Firestone, Lou Frizzell and Lucille Benson are among the supporting cast. 4/5

Fast & Furious 8/Fate Of The Furious

The 8th film in The Fast & The Furious franchise and its an excellent & very enjoyable romp along with being the best film in the franchise.

All the returning cast are very good, especially Vin Diesel, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson & Jason Statham (who is unexpectedly very funny as well as kicking ass). Charlize Theron is excellent and a badass as Cipher, the big bad of the film.

The action sequences are amazing & jaw dropping, especially in New York & the finale on a Russian ice lake and will be very very difficult to top in the next film. As well as the amazing action, plenty of funny one liners & twists throughout

Also a very nice touching tribute to Paul Walker too

9/10

Logan

Hugh Jackman returns to the role of wolverine. I found it really enjoyable despite a predictable plot especially hearing charles xavier say fuck all the time. Sort of a mad max meets xmen film.

8/10

2 Fast 2 Furious (Uncut)

8.5/10

The Insider(1999) Based on true events, Al Pacino plays a CBS producer who persuades a former executive of a tobacco firm, played by Russell Crowe to spill the beans on their dodgy practises. However, various legal problems soon raise their heads. Director Michael Mann is in good form here, using imaginative camerawork to keep the interest and a well written script which keeps complex legal situations understandable to the layman. Crowe and Pacino give excellent performances as you'd expect and the characters are well rounded, touching on their personal and work life beyond the case. There's also a good performances from Christopher Plummer as a CBS interviewer and Diane Venora as Crowe's wife.Also starring Philip Baker Hall,Lindsay Crouse, Bruce McGill, Gina Gershon & Michael Gambon(with a rather strange Texan accent). 7.5/10

Jungle Captive(1945)

Harold Young's sequel to Jungle Woman(1944)is mostly memorable for the incredibly realistic and unsettling ape make-up effects by maestro Jack Pierce,who for some reason goes uncredited on this one.

totally agree with you.


The only way they are going to top this by going to space to blow a satellite, space rocket or space station.

I am loving how from 4 to 8 each film is linked to last the one and moves a storyline which some sequals don't do.

Ivan's Childhood(1962) Ivan(a remarkable,mature performance from Nikolay Burlyaev) is a Russian boy doing reconnaissance work for his country close to German troops. Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky of Solaris fame, this is strikingly shot in black and white with imaginative use of directorial tricks, chiefly mobile camerawork and fine cinematography principally the wreckages of buildings and trees. This is an effective portrayal of the damage, outwards and inwards, of war. Also starring Valentin Zubkov,Evgeniy Zharikov, Valentina Malyavina & Irina Tarkovskaya. 7.5/10

Logan.
I wanted "Old man Logan" and didn't get it
10/10 for violence and profanity
5/10 for the rest

The fact that it will probably be retconned like the rest of the X men franchise makes it irrelevant.

Strangers on a Train (1951)

Alfred Hitchcock suspense classic.
Guy Haines (Farley Granger) half-jokingly muses about killing his wife with a stranger he meets on a train, unhinged playboy Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker), who'd prefer his father be deceased. In theory, each could murder the other's victim. Crisscross. No motive. No clues. No problem... except: Bruno takes the idea seriously, with deadly consequences.

4/5
