  1. My local chippy is still open. You can still collect but they are only letting 2 in at a time I think. Havnt been in a couple of weeks and I'm missing having a bag of chips lol.

    Pretty forgotten Kurt Russell movie I think from 2002. It's a bit Training Day mixed with Narc. It's not as good as Training Day but Kurt as usual puts in a good performance as a would do anything to get a result detective who deep down want a to change and do the right thing. It's set around the Rodney King case and it's fully centred from that and all the issues with the riots etc that came with that. I enjoyed it.

    Genuinely thought that charger was plugged in to your curry sauce for a second.

    It's a long walk back from the chippy. Gotta warm it up somehow.

    An ex soldier (David) played really well by Jordan Henderson, arrives at the house of a fellow soldiers' family home claiming he was a former friend. He gets invited to stay and makes himself at home by helping the family. But before long, strange occurrences start to happen and soon David is under suspicion as someone who may well not be who he claims to be.

    Very stylish thriller with a good performance by the ever reliable Henderson. It's got that 80's vibe with the music and it reminds me of Drive. Enjoyed this.

    Okay, I know it's Dan Stevens

    :D and he's excellent in this

    Did someone say Rambo II? No? Good, because there was never an official sequel to Rambo, so this was made. True fact.

    Reb Brown is back again in the lead role in another Bruno Mattei inspired take on a popular American action movie. Once again, just like Robowar, I had a blast with this. You know what you expect from these films so you can't really try and judge or rate them the same way you would Hollywood films. Low bugdet, naff acting but fuck it you have some fun with it. You play the 'oh I know where they're going here as I'm sure I've seen it in another movie :D'.

    Lots of shooting, explosions and screaming throughout.

    Another fun romp.

    An obscure low budget Canadian Hitchcock type thriller from 1975. 

    "On the rocks and on the open road of rural Ontario, a crummy husband and his weary wife find themselves careening off a bridge when a petty squabble over a get-rich-quick scheme accelerates into a revelation of infidelity. Both survive, but when the husband discovers his wife’s critical condition, he plans to leave her to die in a calculated ploy to collect a hefty life insurance payout. However, his cruel intentions are complicated when a good samaritan happens by the accident and offers to help. What ensues is a wickedly taut and unpredictable cat-and-mouse thriller that evokes the likes of the Coen Brothers’ BLOOD SIMPLE as it confidently crackles towards its nerve-shredding climax.".

    Thought this was a very good taut thriller. Very small cast but it was tense enough to keep you watching to see just what's going to happen. It's stripped down and the low bugdet nature from the performances don't alter the fact that this really is a bit of a lost gem.
