NEXT OF KIN 1982



It's an offbeat oldie that somehow is in my permanent rotation.

There's a SPACE WAR arcade machine.

Music by Klaus Schulze

Currently 3 episodes into Small Prophets. Written by and featuring Mackenzie Crook (who wrote and starred in the brilliant Detectorists series).
Small Prophets also stars Pearce Quiqley (played the terrifying Gospel John in The Gentlemen), Michael Palin (Python), Paul Kaye (Game Of Thrones).
Whimsical, magical and great fun.

This is amazing. Really liked it. Also kown as Freaks vs The Reicht



Nazis capture circus freaks who have special powers to help their war effort. Thankfully it's nothing like X-Men. It's dark, fairly violent and beautifully shot.
6.9 on IMDB

Loved the rendition of Radiohead's 'Creep' by the six fingered piano player.

 

There's also a reference to Thom Yorke's 'No Surprises' video scene.

TOM HARDY
Havoc​

Havoc is an action thriller written and directed by Gareth Evans.
Many will know him for his “THE RAID” films. If you like fast-paced action
and a soundtrack that pushes you back into your sofa, you'll love Havoc.
Havoc pulls no punches, with severed body parts, blown-out skulls,
and gallons of blood all part of the norm. And just when you think,
“WTF?”, the film really kicks into high gear.
Havoc is a film that is definitely worth watching.

Just watched this...a low budget affair albeit with fantastic acting and an excellent story...meh music but it worked.

 

Watched a couple of good movies last night.

28 Years Later - Bone Temple
Top notch zombie stuff. Very violent. The Jimmys showed an obvious link to Jimmy Savile with their blonde wigs, tracksuits and bling. The leader of the Jimmys also said he was the son of Satan. Surprising that they used 3 Duran Duran tracks in the movie but they fitted well. Radiohead's 'Everything In It's Place' is perfect. Then there's Ralph Fiennes miming to Iron Maiden's 'Number Of The Beast' is brilliant!

Also watched Daisy Ridley in 'We Bury The Dead'.
Again, a zombie movie but nothing 'run of the mill' here. Good storyline (it's not all about the zombies). Really enjoyed it.

I'm not big on zombie films but am about Ralph Fiennes! Thanks, gonna definitely watch it!!

 

I am 40 minutes into The Mountain (2018) and unless there's a really bad curveball this is a great movie. Not much dialog, not much is spelled out.
