Tina

Much like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino does what all storytellers would love to do, rewrite history, and he does so with panache, humour and gore.

Looking like a mixture of Elvira and Chrissie Hynde,  Moth was a force in photojournalism.

This is a really entertaining ultra-violent film. Portman is plain amazing in the role of Mathilda as is Reno as Leon.

It’s gorgeous and bright, yet dark and scary all at the same time, and it looks and sounds absolutely amazing in this 4K UHD release.

Imagine a world where acting icon Vincent Price forms a fish-shape out of tuna and mayonnaise then invites YOU to try it for your dinner guests…mind blowing.

A story about a group of kids vanquishing the unseen ‘bad guy’ with a few red herrings thrown in. It’s more Goonies with some pretty scary horror.

This newly restored 4K UHD Blu-ray by the BFI is amazing, with ‘better’ translated subtitles and a black, epic sound and picture so sharp you’d swear it was made yesterday.  

Yep, The Invasion is essentially The Body Snatchers, without pod people. You are not replaced in this film, you ‘change’. It’s a straight-forward remake of the 1956 film Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but the story has been updated with mobile phones and to reflect contemporary times.

It’s a story of corniness, involving drug runners and the Lobo Crime family. Oh and there is blood and arm ripping. Nicholas Hoult as Renfield is a delight, as is Nic Cage, who lisps through a set of pointy teeth and doesn’t go FULL nutjob in the part.

I admit to absolutely loving Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. I know in this day and age it would be seen as sexist and somewhat misogynistic, but it was made in a time when it was a joy to see a beautiful sassy woman twirl nipple tassels as a finale to the story.
