[Kunt 4 Life]

Watched Death Wish 3 and Obsession over the weekend.

5 stars for Death Wish 3.

Obsession is grand but I don't really get the hype. Great performance by Inde Navarrette but I wasn't blown away by the movie overall.

Is 3 the one where he's having dinner, hears somebody breaking into his car, goes out, shoots them then he goes back to having his dinner?

The Bone Temple

I enjoyed it. I've liked both the 28 years films so far. I cannot believe there was a gang of Jimmy Saviles in it though. Stick them in The Warriors and see how they get on. Definitely some of the stranger satanists I've seen in a film, though just as terrifying.

Wonder what the americans  though of Sir Jimmy Cyrstal in the flick.
Nothing will beat 28 days later , was a tad disappointed with years but Bone Temple was a bit better.

Boyle pretty much killed the franchise with Years, with a bad script and his weirdo obsession with doing "MTV -esque" set pieces that he throws into everything since Trainspotting and he's afraid getting out in the horror section.

Bone Temple was the better of the two movies.

The Maiden bit in Bone Temple was painful enough.

True, the Maiden bit was a hard watch...

That's the one. He also uses a German World War II machine gun near the end. It's glorious.

yes, and i remember the big closing scene Broson and the detective shooting out the bad guys like a 2player arcade shoot em up. Glorious indeed, although I distinctly remember the detective running like a spaz during that scene.

Jimmy Page did the score as well didnt he?

Watching Escape From Alcatraz on d'telly. Good craic. But it's amusing that in ALCAFUCKINTRAZ, of all maximum security prisons, everyone seems to be a jolly old chap. Not a hardened criminal in sight

bit like Porridge

The Long Goodbye

Finally got around to watching this. Weird to see Elliott Gould play that sort of character when I'm more used to his roles in the likes of Friends and Ocean's 11. Nice little twist on film noir, and I liked the time capsule element of the early 70s counter culture. He was entirely too oblivious to the balcony full of topless yoga hippies next to his apartment every day.
