howard the duck (1986)

aka Howard: A New Breed of Hero.
"No one laughs at a master of Quack Fu!"
Beverly Switzler (Lea Thompson) is a struggling singer, whose life changes when she finds a duck called Howard has been sucked through a warp in space, and landed on earth. If she thought a talking duck was strange, things are about to get stranger...
Unfortunately George Lucas decided to take a cult comic book character, loose most of what made it a cult, concentrating on the inter-species love story,a looses its focus as a comic fantasy.

lust at first bite (1978)

aka Dracula Sucks. The Coming of Dracula's Bride.
"I am Dracula and I bid you welcome."
Dracula (Jamie Gillis)
An adult version of the Bram Stoker character, is either a disjointed hardcore, or violent softcore story depending on which version you happen upon.

northern soul (2014)

"No prisoners tonight."
It's 1974 ad John (Elliot James Langridge) is a lonely kid, who finds a friend in Stee (Alex Esmail), who loves Northern Soul, and his enthusiasm draws John into the culture and music.
A story that sticks to the template of loner finds friends and learns from tragedy, but is driven along by the obvious enthusiasm for the music.

soulboy (2010)

aka Souled Out.
"Why would I stop you?"
Joe (Martin Compston) becomes fixated on Jane (Nichola Burley), who loves soul. So to impress her he starts to frequent and get into the scene. Thankfully Mandy (Felicity Jones) is there to help him get the basic moves down and what to listen to.
Boy meets girl, and takes time to realise that he's fixated on the wrong girl for him. A standard formula, but played well, with touches of comedy and pathos. This lacks the feel and detail for the scene that Elaine Constantine's film does, but has more of a feel good factor about it.

marquis de sade's justine (1969)

aka Deadly Sanctuary. Justine and Juliet. Justine de Sade.
"This is the story of Justine and the misfortunes of virtue."
The story of a young woman (Romina Power) forced out of the convent she was entrusted to, whose innocence is abused by all who meet her.
High production values, and a scattering of name actors, such as Jack Palance and Mercedes McCambridge, fail to cover up the fact that this is over-long at 2 hours.

succubus (1968)

aka Necronomicon - Geträumte Sünden.
"I have done well, she is perfect...the essence of evil."
Lorna (Janine Reynaud) is a nightclub stripper who is groomed by William (Jack Taylor) to become a part of his bizarre fantasies.
Surreal dream, that you enjoy for the striking imagery, or go nuts and turn it off due to the inconsistencies and constant soft focus!

sexy sisters (1977)

aka Die teuflischen Schwestern. Satanic Sisters. The Devilish Sisters.
"Milly is a very sick girl."
Countess Von Stein (Pamela Stanford) holds her younger sister Milly (Karine Gambier) prisoner. Milly suffers from a sexual trauma, due to being raped. But is the Countess looking after Milly's best interests or is that Molly is actually the sole inheritor of their father's fortune. Can Joe (Kurt Meinicke), save her from the machinations of the Countess and her Dr (Jack Taylor)?
Soft-core sexual extravaganza, that really never gets going plot wise.

mystery of the wax museum (1933)

"To perpetuate such madmen is to celebrate their crimes."
Ivan Igor (Lionel Atwill) is left for dead in his burning wax museum, by his unscrupulous partner. Years later a reporter (Glenda Farrell) trying to get to the bottom of a series of disappearances finds the sculptor is back and has a new and unique way of modelling. And alarmingly has set his sights on 'modelling' her roommate (Fay Wray).
A classic horror.

the raid 2 (2014)

aka The Raid 2: Berandal.
"I'm done."
Rama (Iko Uwais) fresh from raid, is persuaded to go undercover within prison to get close to co (), the son of a major gang leader. From there he is well placed to see Uco become frustrated with his position and escalate things beyond his control.
Evans spins Rama's story into new area's from The Raid, introducing more complex story-lines, and martial arts set pieces. Brutal, dark and spectacular.

the rite (2011)

"You did not choose me. It is I that chose you."
After four years at a seminary Michael Kovak (Colin O'Donoghue) desides to renounce his intention to become a priest. But his teacher is determined to bring him back into the flock and sends him to study an exorcism course in Rome. There his faith clashes with the practices of Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins).
Brooding thriller that foregoes much of the theatrics and scares of other excorism films, prefering to exude a quiet unease, as it explores spirituality, faith and doubt.

nightmares come at night (1970)

aka Les cauchemars naissent la nuit.
"Don't be rediculous! It was only a bad dream."
Anna (Diana Lorys) lives with Cynthia (Colette Giacobine), who is worried about her friends mental state. She consults with Dr Lucas (Paul Muller), who tries to limit her nightmares, all watched over by a mysterious couple next door (Andrea Montchal & Soledad Miranda).
This looks like what it is, two unfinished movies mashed together, producing a psychodrama, with lots of babbe and skin, but not much sense!

ong bak: the beginning (2008)

"Look after yourself boy."
aka Ong-bak 2.
It's 1431, and a lord is betrayed, with only his young son surviving. He is taken in by king of thieves Chernung, who sets about teaching him martial arts, seeing him as the son he has never had, and his future successor. But Tien (Tony Jaa) has revenge on his mind...
As with the original Ong-bak, this runs at break neck speed towards a number of spectacular martial arts set pieces.
