Sympathy for Mr Vengeance
Chan Wook Park is what I was told to call him by imdb, so that is what I am going with, even though the poster above goes a differnet way and other reviews try still more variations. In any case … Continue reading

The Blues Brothers
By now there’s a diminishing chance that you’ve seen the film, given that it’s 30 odd years old and good music doesn’t seem to be cool any more, judging by the charts. Rather than a review: If you haven’t seen … Continue reading

Slither
Comedy doesn’t have to be all “why did the chicken…” or “my gosh I can’t believe Jason Biggs just drank that!” all the time. Sometimes it can be the compounded effect of a series of elements and incidents so absurd … Continue reading

The Jackie Chan Wrap-Up
This marathon started on February 22nd with Around the World in 80 Days. In truth I thought it’d last a month, 6 weeks tops. Then I kept deciding to add more films to the list. Then I decided to wait … Continue reading
Drunken Master 2
It took a hell of a lot longer than I initially anticipated but here we are at the end of the Jackie Chan movie marathon. It hasn’t all been plain sailing, I had obviously brainwashed myself into remembering Rob B … Continue reading
