Deranged (1973)
A classic horror movie with a strong cult following. Great performance by Blossoms.
Snowtown (2011)
A very discomforting and challenging experience to sit through, but a well made film that is chillingly true to the real life story.
Frightmare (1974)
A very tidy horror movie with a great 70s British vibe.
Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap (2012)
A comprehensive line up of living legends tell us how they do it, making a treat for hip hop fans, engagingly presented by Ice T.
Mesrine (Killer Instinct, Public Enemy Number 1) (2008)
Exciting and well made. The main character is not sympathetic and it comes as a relief at the end of the lengthy Part 2 when he his finally gunned down in a scene that was inexplicably previewed at the outset of the movie –– a poor directorial choice.
Camille 2000 (1967)
An enjoyable melodrama enhanced by a great Piero Piccioni score. Features Metzger's trademark beautiful people, lush sets and unashamed libertinism (enhanced with his next three features). The blu ray would get an extra star.
Freestyle - The Art of Rhyme (2000)
A documentary of a New York subgenre of hiphop. Biggie, Tupac and Eminem barely appear so the summary put up by Aro is misleading.
Forbidden Legend, The - Sex & Chopsticks 1 & 2 (2008-2009)
Lack\'s the amusing story and slapstick of Sex and Zen. What is left is pure soft–core porno; very nicely shot with beautiful Japanese actresses. The kinky Part 2 is much better than the somewhat dull Part 1.
Notorious (2009)
Competent biopic that is extremely well cast, props to Jamal Wollard for such a convincing lead.
Armageddon (1998)
It is easy to understand why we sneer at Michael Bay after sitting through this clunker.
