RE: Last film you watched
^ that's a nice recommendation
Corridors of Blood(1958)
A top notch cast including Christopher Lee,Boris Karloff and Betta St.John star in very handsome looking horror from Robert Day.The story revolves around a doctor who develops an opium base anaesthetic to which he becomes addicted.Although it could do with a few more scares,the real thrill of the picture is seeing messers Lee and Karloff together.
7/10

Sorcerer(1977)
Based on the novel Le Salaire De La Peur by Georges Arnuad.William Friedkin's adaptation was a massive finiacial flop upon release despite a great turn from leading man Roy Schneider and its sprawling,explosive content and tone.The film represents the last hurrah of pre blockbuster cinema and was the director's personal favourite of his body of work.
7.5/10

Dragon In(1967)
Although this has been remade twice in 1992 and 2011 respectively it's King Hu's 60's wuxia that is rightfully one of the most enduring and influential examples of Taiwanese action cinema.A simple story that follows the children of the executed General Wu as they are taken to safety at the Inn of the Dragon Gate only to discover thay they are walking into a trap set by emperor,who ordered their father's death.Beautiful looking and thrilling,its how action films should be done.
8/10

Frances Stein (2015) P. J. Woodside plays the title role, as well as directing and writing, on a film loosely based on the Frankenstein story. At times betraying its low budget, with inconsistent acting, variable script and shoddy action/fight scenes, it is however watchable and sometimes compelling with twists, some guessed,some not, and some decent cinematography/ camerawork. Woodside is a prime example, occasionally overacts, but other times rather good. Also starring Scott Cummings,Cody Rogers,Jessica Leonard,Steve Hudgins, T.O.N.E-z & Ruby Sayard Kelly. 6/10
