Kiss Kiss, Kill Kill (1966)
The first in a series of German imitation-Bond movies made in the mid-60's and a rather good one too. This one's got it all – a likable lead in Tony Kendall, a put-upon sidekick in Brad Harris, over-the-top gadgets, lots of beautiful women (Maria Perschy, Christa Linder etc), a wonderfully entertaining villain, a cool underground lair, fight scenes galore, terrific European locations, a catchy title song, and a great explosive finale. What more could you ask for? Throw in a brainwashed army of women with matching blond hair, groovy black outfits, and machine guns (Fembots?), and you've got one heck of a cool movie. It may have stolen some ideas from the 007 movies but it's still got some charm and originality on it's own. The movie may start a bit slow, but once it gets going, it's just a ton of fun.

A Taste of Honey
This movie was a milestone in British cinema, and also introduced the magical young Rita Tushingham to the screen for the first time. It revolves around a 16 year old girl Jo who gets pregnant by a black sailor who abandons her soon after and also her despicable mother who is more interested in having a good time with men than looking after her daughter. She also abandons her daughter after getting married. Jo meets Geoffrey, a homosexual man who moves in with her and promises to look after her. This is a classic movie of a now vanished world. It really is a true picture of what life was like in the working class communities of Britain's northern industrial cities. There is extensive location filming in Manchester and the surrounding area. Barton Swing Bridge and the Manchester Liners Shipping Company, Old Trafford Football Ground complete with floodlight pylons, the atmosphere of a back street boozer and Blackpool's brightly lit amusements are seen. The acting is tremendous with Dora Bryan superbly cast as the selfish mother, Rita Tushingham the gawky teenager full of youthful wonder of her harsh world and Murray Melvin as the young adolescent battling with his sexuality and feelings for the enchanting Tushingham. It's a must see for anyone interested in what is known as a kitchen sink drama or who lives or has worked around Manchester.

Boy
This movie which takes a look at native life in rural New Zealand during the mid 80's captures the fleeting innocence of childhood. Boy, a scrawny twelve-year-old with an affinity for Michael Jackson, is tasked with watching his younger brother Rocky and a slew of cousins while his grandmother is away, but things get wild when Boy's estranged, criminal father reappears. Director Taika Waititi shows the lives of average Maoris in New Zealand. The comedy that's on show is fantastic. It's very interesting to see Boy and his family and friends interact on a daily basis. They run free across the town, where everybody know everybody, without a care. Boy manages to remain an upbeat and energetic movie, even while dealing with tough issues like broken families, drug use and death. Waititi's creative take on Boy and his father's rough relationship is both light and poignant, making the movie an entertaining watch for anyone who is a fan of Waititi or Michael Jackson.

Virgin Witch
Disowned by the sisters taking the lead roles, this is a poor sleazy British movie about witchcraft. A girl gets a job for a modeling agency, only to later discover that it's all a cover to recruit young girls for a coven of witches. She's got her eyes on taking over the head priestess role in the coven. This movie is just an excuse for Ann and Vicki Michelle (of Allo Allo fame) to get their clothes off and parade naked or wear scantily dressed clothes. The supernatural aspect of the story is barely mentioned. The movie gets boring very quickly. The acting and production values are awful and some of the dialogue laughable. Don't waste your time watching this crap.

Macross Frontier The Movie: The False Songstress
This anime movie is not a condensed 2 hour version of the TV series but rather an alternative retelling of the Macross Frontier story Do You Remember Love. In AD 2059, the Galactic Fairy Sheryl Nome, the latest in a long line of famous songstresses to grace the galaxy, descends upon Frontier to kick off her upcoming concert. At the same time the alien bugs Vajra decides to attack Frontier and suspicions begin to start that Sheryl is a spy for the Vajrans. Is Sheryl in league with the aliens or is there another force at work? This is the first of a 2 part movie series which concludes with The Wings Of Goodbye. It's a great movie but those that want to see numerous battle scenes will be disappointed. They are few and far between. This is more like a concert movie for Sheryl Nome and her songs are sung by the wonderful Japanese singer May'n. The characters are all likeable and are mostly the same as the TV series. The plot is not really the important part here - it's just set up for the 2nd part. The animation is really good. It's not the best Macross movie I've seen but still entertaining though.

P to JK
A ridiculous and fairly disturbing story revolving around a 26 year old policeman who gets married to a 16 year old schoolgirl without even dating after a chance encounter at a party. How the parents of the girl agree to this I have no idea! Only in Japan would this kind of thing be acceptable. It's a pleasant enough movie targeted to teen girls around the same age as the heroine about the highs and lows of the couple's relationship. There's the added charm of Japanese heart throb Kazuya Kamenashi to make the girls swoon at him in a policeman's outfit. Tao Tsuchiya is good as the 16 year old schoolgirl Kako though why she feels the need to settle down so early in life with an older man instead of enjoying her youth is beyond my comprehension. The scenery showing the city of Hakodate in Hokkaido is beautiful. Despite the dubious nature of the story, it's definitely watchable and those that like light romance movies will enjoy it.

Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn (1983)
The evil Jared-Syn terrorises the small desert planet of Lemuria by sucking the lifeforce out of folks with his storage crystals. It's up to heroic ranger Dogan to stop the foul villain. While the basic premise offers a pretty cool blend of Western and science fiction elements complete with the inevitable gunslinger showdown in the middle of a tiny mining town and a fierce tribe of Cyclopean beings standing in for your usual savage Indians, the movie is undermined by Charles Band's leaden direction, a plodding pace and crappy special effects. The ending to this is quite anticlimactic and disappointing but getting there provides some degree of fun. If you can turn off your brain for 83 minutes, you might like it

The Ghoul (2016)
A homicide detective goes undercover as a patient to investigate a psychotherapist he believes is linked to a strange double murder. As his therapy sessions continue the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur. Don't go into this thinking it's a horror movie because it isn't. What starts out as a standard police drama slowly melts into an endless, dark, psychological journey, where everything is gradually turned upside down. The ending will disorient viewers and it's quite good. Unfortunately for the ending, the bulk of the rest of the story leading up to it borders on slow torture. This is the kind of movie that will split viewers - those that love mind benders will no doubt enjoy it but as for the rest I don't know. As it's not an easy movie to watch, it won't be for everyone.

Boo! A Madea Halloween
I've never seen any of Tyler Perry's Medea movies before but if they're the same as this shit I think I'll pass from watching the rest. The movie sounded good on paper but as soon as I started to watch it I had an inkling it wasn't gonna be that good. The jokes, the acting, hell just about everything in this production stinks. Stupid, lame and awful are some of the words to describe this movie. Avoid!

The Desert Rats
Interesting re-enactment of the desert campaign during WWII as seen through the experiences of one small company in the British army. A motley band of Commonwealth troops of mixed personalities led by Captain MacRoberts played by Richard Burton. Through the fire and hell of battling the Desert Fox and his war-hardened troops, MacRoberts by lifting their spirits and their morale eventually melds his men into a fighting fit group of warriors. The Desert Rats is a very realistic war movie, presenting strategies, battles, action scenes and a great duel between James Mason (as Rommel) and Richard Burton. Actual genuine footage from the war looks to have been inserted into the movie as well. The battle scene between the dug-in Aussies and Rommel's tanks is well filmed and exciting. Well worth a look.

A Place to Go
This is a great social drama centering around the Flint family who are living in a poor area of Bethnal Green, London. 60's pop star Michael Sarne is the idealistic hero seeking to escape from his drab existence by agreeing to take part in a robbery at a local factory. He hooks up with the inimitable Rita Tushingham, who proves to be more than a match for his wiles as her character is full of life and rather independent. She's the best actor in the whole thing, certainly showing up Sarne as a rather bland leading man. James Bond's Bernard Lee plays the mouthy head of the Flint family alongside On The Buses' Doris Hare as his wife. It's interesting to note that times are changing near the end as the Flints buy a new high rise flat and their old street is destined to be torn down. If your expectations are not too high, you'll find some entertainment here.

A coming of age tale as 17 year old disturbed teenager Brydie White played by Hayley Mills falls for a travelling gypsy boy who gives her the love she doesn't get at home. It's sad to say that this movie is a forgotten classic. I'm not sure if the characters in the movie are supposed to be Welsh or English but judging by the accents and some of the actors in the production I'm guessing it's Welsh. The cinematography showing the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside is fantastic and harks back to how the Summer months used to be in the UK. A young Ian McShane plays Mills' gypsy lover Roibin and there are appearances by Geoffrey Bayldon, Annette Crosbie, Jacqueline Pearce (of Blake's 7 fame) and noted Welsh actress Rachel Thomas. For those wondering about the title it refers to Brydie's mental state. It's a good movie for fans of Hayley Mills with an interesting story to boot.

A good idea for a plot but badly executed. How would society look today if humans reverted back to being neanderthals/apes that communicate through grunting. The story is set in modern times with modern houses, technology etc but yet the people eat with their hands and don't appear to have any degree of intelligence. I think that's one thing that doesn't make any sense. There is no overall storyline, it's pretty random and pointless and seems set up mostly to shock the audience such as one man masturbating with a mouse! I quickly became bored with the whole thing. It really is a big mess this movie. I'm sure it's destined to become a cult movie of some sort but I couldn't wait for it to finish. Didn't like it one bit. Terrible.
