366 in 366

number 7. the masque of the red death
classic hammer looking edgar allen poe film, part of the corman/price collection of films from the 60`s. creepy and violent in equal measure.
number 8. inseminoid
a truly poor and vulgar sci-fi horror from the 80`s. swiping equal parts from alien and demon seed but with more skin on display in the needless and tasteless rape/insemination scene. avoid this boring and ugly film.
number 9. inception
high on concept and swish in delivery but with most of the visual ideas being too heavily borrowed from the matrix along with an unhealthy amount of the plot, add in a predictable ending and its horrendously overlong run time and i failed to see what all the fuss is about.
number 10. tekken
the live action version from 2009, my god this was awful. the action was poor, the acting was worse and the direction was predictable, the story was poorly told and very mundane, this makes dead or alive look like citizen kane in comparison.
number 11. fist of fury
classic bruce lee, but as with alot of his early work yes he is as amazing as always, but the terrible dubbing(which in this film he sounds like a bad john wayne impression) and bad stories cant pick up the slack inbetween the exceptional fight scenes.
number 12. the goonies
a childhood classic that should have stayed there, as its only from watching this film as an adult that you notice some of the truly terrible continuity errors and the insane amount of product placement!
