An American, a Mexican and an Irishman…
I’ve started watching films again. The Irishman Firstly, I started with Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman. Loved it. The main cast have been great in everything I’ve seen them in. And this film was no different. A masterclass. For me it had those Jackie Brown vibes, in that a lot of it felt like I was…

Rest in Peace David Lynch
Gutted to hear that David Lynch has died. Easily in my top three film directors. Possibly even the top spot. Seeing Inland Empire in the cinema in 2006 (I think) completely blew me away. It still haunts me to this day. And turned me on to the music of Chrysta Bell. Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive,…

Heat
Finally watched this film for the first time and I absolutely loved it to bits. As I sat there sweating through the UK heatwave — my apartment being three or four degrees higher — I became lost in this world of LA. It goes without saying that Al Pacino and Robert Deniro are at the…

The Babysitter

Thoughts on The people under the stairs
I finally faced my childhood trauma by watching The people under the stairs in full. I saw sections of it as a child and remember only the image of children running from something in the wall cavities of a old creepy house. It was an absolute surprise and joy to see Everett McGill and Wendy…

Watching The people under the stairs An image from an old film haunted me for some years in my childhood. Only recently did I discover somehow, without watching it, that the image was from The people under the stairs. Now I’m going back in to a film I may have seen as a child and…

Thoughts on Friday the 13th part 2
Apart from being an entertaining and very 80’s killing spree around the cursed area surrounding Camp Crystal Lake, I thought this was a really well made, and clever horror film.

Watching Friday the 13th part 2 Loved the first film but have never got round to watching the others. It’s about time I remedied that.
