Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban (2004)
Harry's 3rd year at Hogwarts, with Sirius Black, jailed for killing Harry's parents, and having escaped the prison of Azkaban and maybe after Harry. Darker still than the previous film, this intricately plotted but clever story gives Daniel Radcliffe a chance to shine, as he learns more about his parents' deaths and confronts his fears. Interesting stuff includes the Knight Bus, the Marauder's Map, the Hippogriff and the Dementers with subjects such as werewolves and time travel covered, as the plot again touches on prejudices. More superb guest roles include Gary Oldman(as Sirius), David Thewless, Timothy Spall & Emma Thompson. 8/10

Shivers(1975)
David Cronenberg's first feature film and already his body horror aesthetic is clearly evident.A doctor experiments with parasites for use in organ transplants and develops an organism that once ingested,causes uncontrollable sexual desire.The organism spreads throughout an apartment complex with horrific and violent results.A none to subtle metaphor for disease and sexual pressure as it relates to the human condition.Cronenberg makes a cameo as one of the infected apartment dwellers.
7.5/10

The Vampire and the Ballerina(1960)
Black and white Italian schlock from Renato Poiselli.A troupe of ballerinas take shelter in a spooky castle that is filled with vampires.The Italian version has some nicely worked in eroticism to go with the jumps and gore but in the subsequent American release, all the nudity was cut out.Since that was the selling point,the American audience's indifference to the film was totally justified.
Original : 7/10
Cut version 4/10
