Just Like a Woman
Gerald is a smart, young, high-flying American banker. Everything is great until his wife finds another woman’s underwear in their bedroom and subsequently throws him out. He finds lodgings with Monica, a recently divorced 50-year old housewife, who is smitten with Gerald. But after their first night of love, Gerald avoids her. Monica feels used and betrayed until Gerald confesses he likes to dress up as a woman. This movie follows the story of a transvestite man's life with both the elements of drama and light comedy. The movie follows his struggles and process of accepting himself and his relationship with society by being a transvestite. Although there have been many movies that portray human sexuality, there are less movies that tells the story of particularly transvestites. For an average person to understand the motifs and psychology behind a transvestite person, this movie succeeds in introducing this particular identity through its easy to watch genre. The two main leads in Julie Walters and Adrian Pasdar are great. Overall, I found it a sympathetic portrayal of a man's double life and it was quite enjoyable.

Keeper of the City
A mad killer is murdering the mafia bosses of Chicago. Jim Dela is the cop investigating the crimes and thus gets into contact with Vickie Benedetto who is the wife of Vince, a psychotic man who hates his father’s mafia past. A terrible name for a pretty decent cop drama. It has all the ingredients of a 90's low-budget, gritty straight-to-video romp. The storyline has nothing you've never seen before but that's alright as long as it's engaging enough. It's got a great cast in Louis Gossett Jr., Anthony LaPaglia and Tony Todd. There are some slow spots but things generally moved along. Worth having a look.

Deadly Dream Woman
A woman who is a part of a Triad gang loses her memory after an attack. She is taken in by a kindly mother and daughter who run a prostitution business in Hong Kong. However, when she sees the man that killed her Triad boss/father, her memories return and she swears revenge. This HK movie might give you an impression in the first 10 mins that this is going to be an all-action affair but sadly it doesn't. It reverts to a bad comedy that moves the plot at a snail's pace. It is only in the final 15 mins that everything is redeemed and the viewer is treated to a fantastic assault on the villain's lair. Sharla Cheung doesn't have the physicality of other better Hong Kong action actresses but she gets the job done here in the leading role and looks very pretty alongside Chingmy Yau and Ken Lo as the baddie. It's a shame this movie had to resort to being a nonsensical comedy for the majority of it's time instead of being a full-on action movie.

Lady Dragon 2
A female karate champion seeks revenge on the men who raped her and murdered her soccer hero husband. A below average Cynthia Rothrock action movie set in Indonesia. It's completely dreary and devoid of any good excitement. Even the action sequences are not that great. I would have expected Rothrock's fights to be OK but they are indifferently choreographed. Billy Drago as the main villain gives yet another one of his over exaggerated performances that only he can do. It felt like he couldn't give a shit about the role. In the end, this is a low budget disaster that has the serious misfortune of also being a complete bore.

The Granny
Granny’s family wants her dead so they can collect her insurance. While she is on her death bed, she drinks an eternal life potion and returns to the land of the living. She is on a mission to wreak havoc over her greedy relatives. This is a low budget horror parody and while plenty of the jokes fall flat, there are some genuine laughs along the way. Most of the best lines in the movie fall to Stella Stevens as the title character. There is also dollops of gore as well including one kill in which a woman's neck is ripped open by reanimated animal heads on a fur coat. The movie is fairly raunchy, kinda purposefully funny, a bit gross, and a whole lotta dumb - in other words, it's just about the perfect movie to watch after coming back from an evening in the pub.

Full Eclipse
The LA police department have a special team of officers with a talent for reducing big-time crime. The team leader has an excellent track record for crime reduction in other big cities, but his methods are unconventional, and so is he – he’s a werewolf. This action-packed thriller is more of a twist on the traditional LAPD action movie rather than a twist on the werewolf movie. The action sequences are very exciting, adrenaline-fueled affairs and in the other scenes there are plenty of close ups and interesting sound effects to set the mood of the movie. Mario Van Peebles does his usual action hero thing with great flare, and Bruce Payne makes an excellent villain as Mr A Garou. The pacing is a bit off though as it doesn't really pick up until the 2nd half. It's a fairly entertaining movie elevated by some great directing, but the storyline could definitely have used a bit more work. If you're in the mood for a decent action movie then this could do the trick for you.

American Ninja 5
When a scientists daughter is kidnapped, American Ninja Joe Kastle, attempts to find her, but this time he teams up with a youngster Hiro he has trained in the ways of the ninja. The final installment of the American Ninja franchise takes on more a kids movie kind of approach which doesn't help if you're expecting some hard edged martial arts/action stuff. The kid Hiro more or less takes on the central role and not the American Ninja himself. In keeping it being kid friendly, there is more slapstick and groaning humour in the movie. The martial arts is decent but not exciting. It is easily the worst of the franchise and thankfully no more movies were made.

High Desert Kill
Like every year, Jim, Ray, Brad and Paul leave the town for a week to go hunting in the desert. But this year everything is different: There’s not a single animal to be found, the whole forest has fallen quiet. Two female campers they meet have mysteriously disappeared the next day, leaving their whole equipment behind. And then they start to behave weird themselves..an alien power is using them for cruel psychological experiments. For a TV movie, this isn't too bad with a good storyline to it. The characters aren't ones you warm up to with Marc Singer's cocky hunter being the worst of the lot. The New Mexico locations look nice, the story maintains a nice level of old-school spookiness with a strangely unsettling nature and there are some cool cheap special effects throughout. How they manage to destroy the alien threat to their lives is pretty lame though. I was still fairly entertained though and it's worth a watch.

Future Force
In the near future, a cop protects a reporter from an organisation of crooked, renegade cops who thinks she knows too much about them. This is a pretty average b-movie hokum with David Carradine and his robotic laser arm collecting bounty on the heads of villains. I can't say I'm a fan of Carradine and the fact that the supporting cast perform better than him here says it all. He looks bloated and a bit tired in this - simply going through the motions and the dialogue he spouts is hilarious. The whole movie is shot with a dingy, uninspired poor man’s karate movie look about it. The action scenes are OK though the scene in a junkyard in which Carradine's flying robot arm kicks the shit out of a villain is pretty funny to watch. It's not as bad as some says it is but I can't say it's good either. It is what it is and you'll just have to take a punt and see if it appeals to you.

Bed & Breakfast
Life changes for three woman who run a failing hotel, when a mysterious man washes up at the beach. This romantic comedy was one of the few movies that Roger Moore did after leaving his role as 007. The story is a gently comic drama, where Moore, as a bullshit artist of the highest degree, sexes up three generations of women with his raised eyebrow that Dwayne Johnson would be proud of!! There's a rather weak out of place crime subplot which only appears right at the start and the final 20 mins of the movie. The movie might have been better without this to be honest. Moore is his usual charming self and gives a good performance. In the end, this is just an average movie but those that want to see a light romantic movie will probably enjoy it.

The Awakening
When an archaeologist violates an Egyptian queen’s tomb, her evil spirit enters his new born daughter and starts possessing her when she turns 18. The main problem with this movie is it's incredibly dull and nothing much happens. It's all a bit of too little too late when something interesting does happen in the story. Hammer tried unsuccessfully to do this story before with Blood of The Mummy's Tomb and that failed for them and this one does the same even with a Hollywood legend in Charlton Heston in the lead role with Susannah York as his support. The only bright spot in the movie is the location filming in Egypt and the fantastic tomb sets which are impressive. The deaths are not that good and one tries to even copy The Omen. Overall, this is a boring movie with too many long scenes of dialogue and not enough atmosphere or dread. A wasted opportunity.

Flesh-Eating Mothers
A venereal disease turns an entire town of two-timing mothers into cannibals! Gore-hounds should get a kick out of this horror parody in which cannibalistic mothers run rampage around town. The arm and leg chewing sequences are done really well despite the low budget. Children and even a baby are eaten by their mothers but the funniest scene has a pair of the mothers ripping a cat in half after arguing who gets to eat it! Yes, the acting is poor but I think that's the way it's supposed to be. I can't say there was too many laughs to be had from the movie either. It's OK I suppose but nothing special.

Shock Treatment
Janet and Brad Majors, unhappily married, are separated after appearing on a game show. Janet becomes a superstar while Brad is thrown into a mental hospital. But what does fast food magnate Farley Flavors have up his sleeve? The follow-up to The Rocky Horror Picture Show by Richard O'Brien may not be quite as good as it but it's still a lot of fun. Some of the regulars return in different roles, however, the tongue in cheek humour and craziness of Rocky Horror gives way to a movie that tries to be a bit too bizarre for it's own good. The plot really doesn't matter, and nor should it. Some of the songs are really decent. As for the leads, Cliff DeYoung is underused as Brad and Jessica Harper as Janet is fantastic and has a great singing voice. Don't listen to those that say this movie is really bad - it definitely isn't. Give it a go especially if you loved Rocky Horror.

Gimme an
Can a squad of misfit cheerleaders with an over-age trainer possibly win the big cheerleading competition? A terrible 80's teen sex comedy which deserves an F grade for crappiness. If you're expecting this to be up there with the likes of Porky's or Meatballs, you'll be sadly disappointed. It doesn't even come close to them. Fair enough if you enjoy watching lengthy cheerleading displays as you might get something out of it but for a so-called comedy the humour is sadly lacking. The acting is the worst you'll ever see. Simply awful, lame and forgettable.

Go Tell the Spartans
It is the early stages of the Vietnam War and a group of American military advisors led by Major Asa Barker have to defend a tiny village called Muc Wa from a large force of Viet Cong. Burt Lancaster turns in a fine performance as Major Asa Barker who has doubts about the wisdom of the war America is about to embark upon. The timescale is set before the conflict in Vietnam was thoroughly Americanised. It is not your typical glossy, overproduced Hollywood action extravaganza nor is it overly laden with patriotic sentimentality. It is, rather, a compelling exploration of the hubris and naivete that shaped the American war effort. The action scenes are competently done and the directing by Ted Post is good. When you've already seen all the other 70's and 80's Vietnam war movies, this one might be worth a watch for you.
