Registered 8 years agoThe grabbers.
Set in ireland , a meteorite crashes into the sea and a monster that lives on blood and water starts to terrorize the locals. After investigation it appears that the monster doesnt like sucking blood that had a high alcohol content so naturally everyone gets pissed up in order to battle it effectively.
Some good one liners and generally entertaining bollocks.

The Devils
I can't believe I'd not watched this before, it's an excellent, if strange film. Oliver Reed plays an eloquent and sex loving priest. He acts as the leader of his town that has known peace and prosperity, but when he protects the town's famous walls he makes powerful enemies. He's accused of being in league with the devil by a spurned nun.
It sounds absurd and in many ways it is (although it is based on events of the time), the film has an almost pantomime feel with the French court and the machinations of the church. The early part of the film establishes the priest as urbane, but a reasonable man set against the horrors of the plague sweeping through the town.
When he's accused of working for the Devil things take a more sinister turn. For me Oliver Reed steals the show, his performance in this is superb, he is given a run for his money by the inquisitor who is over the top with his zeal, but it's the priest's strength during the trials that gives him the crown.
Mention of Vanessa Redgrave's performance as the nun obsessed with the priest should also be made, while it doesn't stand out as much as the lead's, it does work well.
As I said at the start it is an odd film, for it's age it's a very sexual film and the sheer craziness of it all is a juxtaposition to the horror of what is happening. I appreciated how effective the torture scenes were without the modern tendency to show you everything, for me it has greater impact that way. An excellent and disturbing film to watch.

Hyped would be an understatement. -
The Devils has only recently stopped being banned I believe, which is why it's slipped under the radar for most. I sought out a dodgy VHS as a teenager and was massively disappointed when it wasn't the XXX porno I'd been led to believe.
Good film though. Nobody chews the scenery like Reed did. -

Shame there's unlikely to ever be a sequel.

Gravity (3D) was a solid 7 for me. I can't imagine it translating very well to 2D/video/tv release. Its quite unashamedly a 90minute tech demo. -

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I don't think the 3D added anything and I wish I'd seen it in 2D.

First full length film I've actually seen in either IMAX or 3D and probably the last. Visually it was stunning and although clichéd in parts I didn't feel the script was as bad as some on here have made out.
It didn't have me on the edge of my seat like Captain Philips though.
Dreams of a Life (UK Netflix) - 9/10
Interesting if somewhat depressing documentary looking at the life of a forty something woman who died in her London flat in 2003 yet the body wasn't found for three years. Her story is told through interviews with friends and colleagues along with some dramatic recreations. Well worth a watch.
