Number 191. Weekend At Bernies
weekend at bernie\'s Pictures, Images and Photos
a childhood classic that should have stayed there, as watching it as an adult had shown me that actually it wasnt a very good, even for a one joke 80`s comedy!
Number 192. Frankenhooker
Photobucket
a truly and utterly bonker film, great entertainment and a truly mind melting view!
Number 193. Devil in the Flesh 2
Photobucket
awful film, somehwere in between bad horror and softcore porn.
this film tries soooo hard to titilate but fails that it resorts to random horror deaths in places to grab another target audience, so so so so so boring!
Number 194. Star Trek
Star Trek Pictures, Images and Photos
didnt really know what to expect, but was blown away!
yes its all the things you come to expect from a summer blockbuster, average cast overlong run time and masses of special effects.
it ticks all the boxes but the ace it has up its sleeve is that its actually very good and wonderfully watchable!
Number 195. Pick Up
oh dear god this was awful, some hippy dream state nonsense about 2 girls going on a trip across country with a hippy on a bus.
fuckin awful on every level.
Number 196. The Teacher
Photobucket
after the first film from the same boxset was the pick up(see above) my hopes werent very high for this, the second film,buuuut it was good, not brilliant mainly due to its super sleazy premise but well acted and well put together.
Number 197. Malibu High
Malibu High Pictures, Images and Photos
another from the drive-in classics boxset, this like the first was terrible.
awful premise, terrible acting,awful direction and shocking soundtrack.
Number 198. Black Scorpion
Photobucket
great fun, great great fun!
effectively batman with lady bits! but its 1960`s over the top camp mayhem batman inspired fun.
it really was a pleasant surprise to stumble across this film late at night on the horror channel!
Number 199. Decadent Evil
dear god after finding the black scorpion this was on straight afterwards.
the black scorpion was great this was all different stages of wrong.
bad sound, awful acting,dire soundtrack,terrible direction.
i never thought a film with this much nudity and violence would leave me bored but its happened as there really isnt anything going on behind the random lesbianism and constant shagging of the characters.
Number 200. Porn Shoot Massacre
Photobucket
oh my, with a title that salacious it could only mean one thing, 80`s style stalker slasher territory.
and yep you guessed right! naked chicks and lots of death.
and thats your lot for this film.
Number 201. The Plague of the Zombies
the zombies Pictures, Images and Photos
cracking hammer horror about zombies breaking out in cornwall! of all places!!

Number 185. Blade Trinity
Blade: Trinity Pictures, Images and Photos
dear god this is a poor film, uninspired action with a ropey plot and dull script.
Number 186. Pirates of the Caribbean-On Stranger Tides
Pirates of the Caribbean: On stranger tides Pictures, Images and Photos
as always these films are brilliantly watchable, the plot is just a loose excuse to string together random laughs and outrageous set-pieces, which it does from the very beginning right through the to the obviously open for another sequel ending!
Number 187. Midnight Movie
midnight movie Pictures, Images and Photos
a serial killer escapes from his film into the movie theater and starts killing the viewers.
an ingenious plan! well put together and tightly directed, this one gets straight into the action and doesnt let up, well acted and the FX are cracking.
Number 188. Timber Falls
Timber Falls Pictures, Images and Photos
like a mix between hostel and misery and nowhere near as horrifying as either.
badly acted withg characters you dont care for, it loses its way and most viewer interest as you dont care if the characters live or die.
Number 189. Blood of the Mummys Tomb
BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB Pictures, Images and Photos
classic bit of hammer! blood duxom bosoms and a monster wedge of legend!
great stuff all round!
Number 190. Children of the Corn
Children of the Corn Pictures, Images and Photos
oh my god this is a truly awful film.
terrible acting, poor direction, needless violence, horrendous music and the most ridiculous ending i think i have ever seen in film.

Number 181. It`s Complicated
Its Complicated Pictures, Images and Photos
nice and simple rom com that stays just on the right side of slushy thanks to its winning performances from pretty much the whole cast!
Number 182. Savage Streets
Photobucket
death wish but with linda blair looking a damned sight hotter than charles bronson!!
bless the 80`s for catsuits and overuse of lycra!
Number 183. Demons
demons film Pictures, Images and Photos
pretty rubbish actually, after all the fuss i was disappointed, atleast ot got stuck in very quickly, but this much like the sequel just feel like zombie films to me dressed up with a different title.

Number 168. Miss Congeniality
Miss Congeniality Pictures, Images and Photos

Number 169. Magicians
Photobucket
good giggle, and i noticed for the first time jessica stevenson looked amaaaazing in this film!
Number 170. The Tripper
blnad and uninsired slasher film trying too hard to be cool.

pretty bad monster movie, the FX weren`t too bad but the acting was!
Number 173. Bitter Feast
bitter feast Pictures, Images and Photos
saw meets masterchef?
yeah its that bad, with little to none for a plot other than petty vengeance this was a hard film to watch.
Number 174. Pieces
fast paced 80`s splatter flick, didnt muck around just got straight into the violence and tore up the bodycount!
Number 175. My Name is Bruce
my name is bruce Pictures, Images and Photos
effectively galaxy quest but with a horror superstar fighting the undead chinese god of beansprouts!
good fun and very easy to watch
Number 176. Alice
a 2 part TV movie adaption of wonderland and through the looking glass spliced together into one head spinning monster!
twas very good though!
Number 177. Shower of Blood
my god this was awful.
went through a phase of watching bad cheap horror and this was one of the worst, part vampire film, majority soft porn this is a pitiful esxcuse for a film with some truly terrible sound editing and somehow even worse acting!
Number 178. Bay of Blood
A Bay of Blood Pictures, Images and Photos
dismal italian horror, very little going on, awful dubb and horrendous acting
Number 179. Six Degrees of Separation
Movie: Six Degrees of Separation Pictures, Images and Photos
very talky and not much going on, effectively two snobs telling a story about a maybe conman who they still kinda like...maybe.
ultimately very frustrating due to the gash ending

Number 158. Billy Madison
billy madison Pictures, Images and Photos
oh god sandler got on my nerves in this film, had some good laughs from the supporting cast, but they are the ones who saved this film!
Number 159. The Italian Job
Italian job Pictures, Images and Photos
not a bad remake, thankfully since they only take the general gist of the original and sell the film by association its not ruining anything from the original and merely making a good crime caper film instead!
and edward norton is great as the panto style villain!
Number 160. Species 3
Species 3 Pictures, Images and Photos
this is a series that should have stopped at one film, quite how it made it this far is beyond me, and they even made a fourth one after this piece of garbage!
Number 161. Nazi Dawn
Photobucket
terrible film, some tripe about a nazi ghost killing people on a ship.
not scary, not gory, not entertaining! defo not watching again......ever.
Number 162. Enemy of the State
Enemy of the state Pictures, Images and Photos
as always will smiths films are watchable forever! this is no exception, just a shame that this one is a bit slower than his others, but that said the last 15 minutes are fantastic.
Number 163. Princess Blade
The Princess Blade Pictures, Images and Photos
post apocalyptic hack and slash nonsense, expected better
Number 164. Airheads
AirHeads Pictures, Images and Photos
a great film with sooooo many holes in the plot its unbelievable but still very entertaining and as an added bonus for me its got my fave white zombie song on the soundtrack!

Number 153. The Waterboy
The Waterboy (September 13th 2011) Pictures, Images and Photos
one of adam sandlers better efforts, even if it is a one trick pony of sandler getting angry and hitting people.
underneath it, as always its a feelgood movie of the runt or idiot who overcomes being an outcast to get the girl and save the fuckin day as he does in all his earlier films.
same old same old, but what annoys me about his early films is that essentially he plays the same thick fuckin idiot of a character, and that character is ultimately a bit of a tool.
just takes some of the enjoyment out of the films for me.
Number 154. Dumb and Dumber
Dumb & Dumber Pictures, Images and Photos
a truly terrible film, populated with annoying characters acted by awful actors.
why the fuck i watched this film for a second time is beyond me.
Number 155. Big
empath, skilled, rose rosetreee, empathy, tom hanks Pictures, Images and Photos
cracking film, my fave with tom hanks by a country mile
a prefectly balanced comedy with wonderful performances all round!
Number 156. Scary Movie 2
Scary Movie 2 Pictures, Images and Photos

Number 148. Clerks
Clerks I Pictures, Images and Photos
brilliant, i love this film, and having the joy of working in a conveniance store i completely sympathise with pretty much every gripe the two characters have with their customers!

Number 149. Clerks II
Clerks II Pictures, Images and Photos
good film, nowhere near as good as the first film but still has some damn good laughs within its short but direct run time.

Number 150. Jay and Silent Bob strike back
Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back Pictures, Images and Photos
brilliant, childish, silly, sexist and very very very very funny.
crammed full of in jokes and camoes that only longterm smith fans will notice, i love it!

Number 151. Mallrats
Mallrats (HD DVD) Pictures, Images and Photos
the first kevin smith film i saw, and what a great way to be introduced to the view askew universe.
all the memorable characters are here with the diologue heavy film taking over and destroying a new game show in the local mall.

Number 152. The Hills Have Eyes II
The Hills Have Eyes 2 Pictures, Images and Photos
not, i repeat not the new remakes!!! nope i watched the truly attrocious original sequel.
and much like the first film it was awful on pretty much every level.
its a good job wes craven got better or he would be making the popcorn in the foyer at cinemas these days!

Nimber 145. Enchanted
Enchanted DVD Pictures, Images and Photos
another disney princess film!! i feel i may have watched more of these this year than throughout my entire life upto this point.
but it was slick (as you would expect from disney) soppy (same again) and very entertaining!

Number 146. Dogma
Dogma SE DVD Pictures, Images and Photos
a classic, i love this film, i love the script and how its just soooo fast paced.
and fantastically funny.
one of my fave kevin smith films

Number 147. Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes 2009 Pictures, Images and Photos
horrendously over the top, and quite enjoyable. though quite why they had holmes and watson bickering like children all the way through was beyond me, and slightly took the edge off it, taking it from a good film into the average with a lot of changes that needed to be made to it pile!
whether that will happen for the inevitable sequel we shall have to wait and see.
