PAYBACK: STRAIGHT UP: THE DIRECTOR’S CUT (1999) - 8 (much better than the watered down theatrical version)
IRON MAN (2008) - 10 (rewatch)
THE SPIRIT (2008) - 4
RENAISSANCE (2006) - 8 (French black & white animated sci-fi noir- really)
VIDEODROME (1983) - 8 (rewatch)
VALKYRIE (2008) - 7
MONOLITH MONSTERS (1957) - 6 (rewatch)
THE LAST HUNTER (1980) - 5 (not as good as I’d hoped but the ending kicks ass)
IN BRUGES (2008) - 9
THE BROKEN (2009) - 6 (slowly paced, creepy doppelganger story)
SAVAGE STREETS (1984) - 7 (nasty revenge thriller)
THE SONS OF THE GREAT BEAR (1966)- 6 (my first German western)
TIDELAND (2005)- 6 (fascinating if not great Gilliam)
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN (2005)- 8 (the 3 hour plus cut)
DJANGO THE BASTARD (1969)- 8 (excellent Spaghetti western)
SUPERMAN REDEEMED (2007)- 5 (attempt to mash together 3 and 4 to make a good film almost succeeds)
MONSTER DOG (1985)- 4 (not as bad as I’d hoped)
MAN OF THE WEST (1958)- 9 (excellent Anthony Mann western)
THE UNBORN (2009)- 4 (limp exorcism film)
RED SONJA (1985)- 3 (rewatch) (I love this bad film!)
THE MURDERS CLUB OF BROOKLYN (1967)- 6 (Jerry Cotton G-Man film)
MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D (2009)- 6 (fun R rated 3D horror flick)
INKHEART (2009)- 5 (flat fantasy film)
THE HILLS RUN RED (1966)- 6 (average revenge spaghetti western)
SHALAKO (1968)- 6 (better than I’d read- solid)
THE CURSE OF THE CRYING WOMAN (1961)- 6 (Mexi-gothic combo of DRACULA and THE MASK OF SATAN)
CHAMBER OF HORRORS (1966)- 8 (excellent period horror story with sharp dialog)
UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS (2009)- 6 (entertaining prequel)
HOT RODS TO HELL (1967)- 6 (wonderfully bad film- square American hysteria with a straight face)
Having taken a vow to watch more westerns this year than last I came out of the gate strong last month with five. Luckily they were all pretty good with DJANGO THE BASTARD and the classic MAN OF THE WEST being excellent.
I also dove back into classic Doctor Who visiting with Hartnell, Tom Baker and Colin Baker for some retro fun.
