Street Trash (1987) 7/10 drags a little but is a classic meltfest. Iron Angels (1987) 8/10 great female-centric HK action film, like Miami Vice (the show) meets Charlie's Angels (the show). Ninja in the Dragon's Den (1982) 8/10 classic early 80s HK kung fu film, set in pre-modern China. Night Moves (1975) 8/10 very decent 70s neo-noir directed by Arthur Penn and starring Gene Hackman. Cutter's Way (1981) 9/10 Brilliant fucked-up amateur detectives trying to solve a murder story. Fat City (1972) 8/10 Stacy Keach is a former professional boxer reduced to day work with the Mexicans. Susan Tyrrell is absolutely fucking fantastic as a barfly who he hooks up with. Dead Sushi (2012) 7/10 If flying zombie sushi led by a resurrected tuna-headed mad scientist is your idea of a fun time then this is the film for you. 毎日が夏休み (Every Day is a Summer Holiday) (1994) 8/10 Very charming film where a salaryman who has secretly quit his high-ranking job bumps into his step-daughter who has been skipping school, and they start a two-person business doing whatever jobs come their way. Ninja Vixens: Demonic Sacrifices (2003) 5/10 If Uwe Boll moved to Japan and decided to make a historical fantasy action film then this is quite possibly exactly how it would turn out. The Green Knight (2021) 8/10 Before I watched this I didn't realise it was A24, so thought it was going to be a Marvel-type film - so glad to have been completely wrong. Dev Patel is great. Bu Su (1987) 8/10 A quiet and semi-gloomy teenager moves to her auntie's geisha house in Tokyo and enrols in high school while trying to help out in the evenings at the geisha house. An introspective drama with some very touching moments, especially the traditional dance plotline. |

Evil Dead Trap (1988) 7/10 Nothing to do with the Evil Dead films, in fact this Japanese horror has more in common with Italian horrors from the late 70s and early 80s. 歩いて歩いて (Still Walking) (2008) 8/10 A very touching small drama - a family gather at the family home in Tokyo on the anniversary of the oldest brother's death. Funny, sad, uplifting. ぼくらの七日ー間戦争 (Our Seven Day War) (1988) 7/10 A group of middle-school kids stage a rebellion against their overly-strict and borderline physically abusive school, which is much more fun than it sounds. The climax, for instance, is like a cross between the booby traps of Home Alone and the crazy muddy maze from Takeshi's Castle. さびしんぼう (Miss Lonely/Lonelyheart) (1985) 9/10 With the rhythms and energy of the characters and the musicality infused throughout this is almost musical theatre, in a way that really works and that I've rarely seen - based around Chopin's Etude in E major, Tristesse, this piece threads the film in many forms. The Chopin work connects a teenage boy to the unrestrained youth of his mother and to the lonely girl he sees practising it in a schoolroom alone, and is heard throughout both diagetically - on the piano by both the boy and his mysterious lonely crush, by the boy and his father as a joyous duet hummed in the bathtub, and on a music box that becomes a final moment of emotion and joy - and on the musical score, in both its original form and in lush orchestrations and even as this great slice of '80s jpop at the end: P. P. Rider (1983) 9/10 I have no idea why the English title is this, but this highly eccentric film is just great - a trio of teenagers see the local chubby bully boy getting kidnapped and set out to find him and rescue him from a couple of yakuza. Lots of extended takes and some incredible tracking shots and a long one-sh |

Typhoon Club (1985) 8/10 Same director as P. P. Rider - a group of school students before and during a typhoon in semi-rural Japan. The Terrible Couple (1980) 7/10 Same director as the previous two. Yusuke, a teenage boy, moves from Kyushu to Tokyo to attend a new high school, moving into his Uncle's empty house. Through a mix-up, one of his new schoolfriends has rented one of the rooms, Kei, a girl. Structured mostly like a romantic comedy, but with added elements of kitchen sink drama and schooldays drama, this is an enjoyable little film, not as interesting or dynamic as the director's later works, and has a bit of an abrupt ending, but definitely worth a watch. Grave of the Firefilies (1988) 7½/10 Pretty sad. The Deserted City (1984) 7/10 Eguchi, a post-grad student from Tokyo, takes up summer residency to have some peace & quiet to complete a thesis on Edgar Allan Poe. Having some connection to the family who live there, he is greeted by the youngest daughter, 19 year-old Yasuko, played the always-excellent Kobayashi Satomi. Also in residence is the grandmother. Absent is the older sister and her husband. The mother died some 12 years previously. Around this group the drama plays out, while Yanagawa itself is used thematically as Old Japan, tradition and the creakingly slow movement of time and energy. While much of the story is literally told, it is quite charming and calls to mind Merchant-Ivory productions in the west. Asahinagu (2017) 7/10 A pretty charming and goofy Nogizaka46 High School Club movie, where three freshmen girls find themselves having joined their high school's all-girl naginata club. The film follows the highs, the lows, the bonding, training with an amusingly strict female monk and her little helper, and overcoming adversity and building confidence. Not on a par with films such as Swing Girls or Shodo Girls but if you are a fan of those films you will very probably enjoy this. |

Joshiizu (2014) 7/10 A fun parody of super sentai, an all-girl superhero unit formed, the five young women recruited because their surnames are colours - red, yellow, blue, green, and navy. There are several laugh-aloud moments throughout, and some favourites are in the cast: Mitsuki Takahata as 'Yellow', Kasumi Arimura as 'Green' (a has-been actress currently playing "Tree B" in a small theatre troup), and Jiro Sato as Charles. Destiny: The Tale of Kamakura (2017) 7/10 Mitsuki Takahata and Masato Sakai star as a writer and his young wife - she has moved in with him in his house in Kamakura, where spirits and humans freely intermingle. Akiko, the young wife, adjusts to the small city and even befriends the God of Poverty much to the surprise and bemusement of her husband. However, her acceptance and open-heartedness pays dividends after her soul is stolen and her plucky husband must decide upon travelling to the Great Beyond in an attempt to rescue her. Demonic (2021) 6/10 Watched solely in preparation for RLM's episode of Half in the Bag. The concept isn't terrible but the film is very boring. Annette (2021) 7½/10 Annette has a great beginning, so unexpected and refreshing, and it has a great ending, with a fantastic performance from a child actor. The first half of this musical charts the formation and consolidation of a romance between a dark-edged stand-up comedian and a soprano opera singer. As things move towards the middle it begins to feel like the adult version of A Series of Unfortunate Events, with shades of Les Misérables' Fantine, especially the filmed version as this also seems to have live singing with a similar vocal recording. The film does drag during its 2h20m run time, but there are true moments of emotion in there, although I don't think I'd be able to sit through it again. |

Last action hero (1993), piece of shit basically but I like Charles dance so watched it Dreamscape (1984) With Dennis Quaid, not great but not bad either, especially like the post apocalyptic nightmares the president has, David Patrick Kelly with Neon green nun chucks as the bad guy who can turn into a snake monster, fairly entertaining |

Here Today (2021) 7/10 A kind of platonic romantic dramatic comedy which begins with a humorous meet-cute between a septuagenarian comedy writer who is in the early days of dementia (don't think it's anything like Hopkins in The Father because it very much ain't) and a late 30s-ish jazz singer. Misha and the Wolves (2021) 6/10 So much of the running time is spent in service of presenting and obsessing over the twisty-turn narrative and fakery, that the real meat is left to a couple of talking heads in the final five minutes - what could have been a fascinating and compassionate documentary about delusion, and childhood trauma, instead becomes a disappointingly shallow experience. Hardly worth bothering a watch, just read the Wikipedia page slowly and gasp loudly every paragraph. United in Anger: A History of ACT UP (2012) 7½ This documentary charts the inception and growth of ACT UP, founded in New York City in March 1987. Seizing the means of production, ACT UP used such things as media activism, mass marches, & demonstrations, to raise awareness of AIDS, and to bring it into a mainstream who was trying desperately to ignore it. Waiting... (2005) 7/10 Independent mid-2000s chain restaurant comedy written and directed by a former waiter who wrote it while still working as a server. Stars Ryan Reynolds, Justin Long, Anna Faris among others. |

Lady of the Manor (2021) 7/10 Justin Long's directorial debut (with his brother Christian). The thread of the film revolves Hannah, an uncouth but engaging woman heading towards middle age, who becomes drawn into intrigue when sleazy Tanner Wadsworth hires her as live-in tour guide at his family's stately home. There she is accosted by the prim ghost of the original civil war-era Lady of the Manor, who is at first disgusted by Hannah's modern habits and who Hannah naturally finds starchy and repressed. But, of course, they come gradually to realise each has their own merit, and they teach each other mutual respect and become best buddies. Malignant (2021) 7/10 Watched for RLM's Half in the Bag. Goes from fairly mild X-Files episode to pretty wild X-Files episode to Harry Potter and the Audacity of This Bitch. |

Green Card (1990) 7/10 Peter Weir's take on the odd-couple romantic comedy - the set up is blessedly taken care of immediately, as the film opens with Andie MacDowell's Brontë already having accepted to marry her French friend's French friend, Georges, written for and played by Gerard Depardieu, to allow him a Green Card. Tales from the Crypt (1972) 7/10 An anthology of five tales, helmed by Sir Ralph Richardson as The Crypt Keeper. His illustrious name is accompanied by other big hitters of British film and television, including Joan Collins, Peter Cushing and Ian Hendry. Zappa (2020) 7/10 Practically a hagiography. Watching Serious Musician Zappa moralise about drugs and business responsibility then dismissively talk about cheating on his wife while she's at home giving birth to and raising their kids, with a smirk, then nonchalantly telling her to get penicillin prescriptions because he has the clap because hey, how can he resist fucking young fans, is something to behold. Candyman (2021) 6/10 Picture a Spike Lee film - teeming with real characters, real dialogue, real rage, real insight, real philosophy. Picture this Candyman - teeming with embarrassingly cardboard characters (is the gay effete? You best believe it!), bad on-the-nose dialogue whose delivery often sounds like a humdrum videogame, bleached of anger because it's so constructed it lacks a spontaneous rage, with the kind of insight you'll see on social media a hundred times per day, with nothing to say that hasn't been said before and better. Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021) 6½ Treads Cube Zero territory by film number two as it combines a couple of escape rooms with behind-the-scenes shenanigans, before finally throwing in a little twist-to-set-up-the-third-film ending. |

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains (1982) 7½ Enjoyable early eighties satire on the lower levels of the music industry, wherein a trio of teen girls, led by the truculent energy of Corinne Burns (Diane Lane), gains the notice of a local female news co-anchor via their defiant anti-baloney stance. Running Scared (1986) 7/10 An action-comedy centred around two irreverent Chicago cops, Hughes and Costanzo, played by Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal respectively. Jimmy Smits is the villain, a smart-dressed drug smuggler whose stated aim is to become "the first Hispanic Godfather." While the comedy is pretty much B-material, and the plot devices well-worn (including the kidnapping of a loved one to set up the final confrontation), the two leads have an easy rapport, and it's a buddy cop action comedy from the 1980s, what's not to enjoy? People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan (2021) 8/10 The greatest love story in the history of cinema. Rango (2011) 7½/10 Exquisite animation backed up by an entertaining story filled with film references and a diverse cast of characters equals an engaging and fun viewing experience. Black Rain (1989) 7/10 Ridley Scott directs this late 80s international cop movie. The theme sometimes feels a little muddy - what they're going for here is some kind of amoral West versus honourable East, an East tainted by the influence of America, as two New York detectives are charged with escorting a Yakuza from America to Japan. Relaxer (2018) 7½ Inventive, quirky, funny, and piteous - and all without ever leaving the couch. Necessary Roughness (1991) 7/10 A nuts and bolts film about a ragtag college american football team that is elevated by a great cast, and some genuinely sharp dialogue. If you aren't looking to have your life changed but simply want to enjoy the company of a film for a couple of hours then this one should definitely be in the runni |

There's Someone Inside Your House total shit don't bother Mandy finally watched this after somehow avoiding any spoilers for 2+ years apart from the vodka/toilet scene... watched it on my birthday, drunk and slightly tripping and after eating a big lump of meat.... Shan't forget it in a hurry, quality film. (Wish Johan Jonansson was still alive, huge fucking loss to film/music there... Mbe his Blade Runner score & that other one unused one will see the light of day some time... it must have been so gutting to do the massive amount of work to score a film and then it not get used,twice) |
