Arrow Video : V Cinema Box

One of the longer of the V Cinema offerings and you could probably could cut it down to that sweet 85min spot without losing much. The middle of the movie does seem to drag a little. 

It’s a pretty nasty film, great kills and tense sequences - I enjoyed the use of fantastic locations and the soundtrack was great. 

I also really like watching Matano - he has the physicality of a movie star and it’s hard to take your eyes off him when he’s on screen. 

Glad I’ve seen this - may never watch it again.

Code of Silence
★★★ Watched

Okay, so it turns out a man whose name is largely unspoken - Andrew Davis - went on a run from the mid 80s to the early 90s and made 5 absolute bangers in a a row. A hard to match feet. Ending with one of my favourites movies ever .. The Fugitive.

Vinegar Syndrome 4K

Back in 1998 a friend of mine called Andy Billington (awesome dude) told me I have to watch Freeway … 28 years later I finally got round to it. 

I shouldn’t have waited this long.

Really enjoyed it - the plot was totally not what I expected in the best way. Such a great cast and a feel that’s so unique to the 90s. 

Nostalgic B-movie Beauty. 

PS. Reese Witherspoon was killing it in the 90s.

Eyes Wide Shut
★★★★★ Rewatched

As hard as she tries, even Nicole Kidman can’t stop this movie being incredible. 

Absolutely stunning. Criterion 4K  

Merry Christmas.
