my son Josh & I watched #WAR2 on #Netflix. To its credit, it kept his attention for the whole 3+hour running time. The story has more twists & turns than a Shakespearean play & turns the bromance so high its ridiculous. The action set-pieces are mostly CGI but the close quarters icicle fight rocks.

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1999. Japanese cult fave WILD ZERO is a mix of zombies, UFOs & punk rock. Real life band Guitar Wolf are caught up n it all, while punk biker Ace discovers the girl he rescued & fallen in love with is trans. But hey, "love has no boundaries, nationalities or genders!"

I don't mind the advert breaks per se, but it's pretty shitty behaviour by #AmazonPrime to start ambushing you with advert breaks MID-SCENE.

#ACentruyOfCinema continues, 1998: I missed HARD RAIN on its release & yeah, I dodged a bullet back then. It's Die Hard in the Wet, as armoured car driver Christian Slater is attacked in an evacuated, flooded town, by Morgan Freeman & his 3 stooges.

#NW for review: Luc Besson's version of DRACULA and so far it's very entertaining. And nicely shot too. There's more than a touch of Coppola's version influencing it.

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1997: Sergio Stivaletti's THE WAX MASK, co-written by Lucio Fulci & Dario Argento, is a grizzly take on the House of Wax movies. Set in Rome, 1912, it has great production values, makeup fx work & an ending which veers into The Terminator!

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1996. THE SUBSTITUTE is another blindspot. Tom Berenger is an ex special forces mercenary who goes undercover in a high school after his teacher gf gets kneecapped after standing up to the gang running the school. Really entertaining & going to check out the DTV sequels!

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1995. How did DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS pass me by, I love these period detective stories! Washington is Easy Rawlins, paid to look for a white woman (Jennifer Beals), hiding out in the jazz clubs. Great support from Don Cheadle & a never better Tom Sizemore.

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1994. DEATH MACHINE was Stephen Norrington's first time in the director's chair & while there are some decent moments, they are eclipsed by very shouty & annoying performances. Good model work & fx, horrible computer graphics, even for the time!

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1990. Somehow, I'd never gotten around to David Lynch's WILD AT HEART, a mix of Elvis, The Wizard of Oz, sex (lots of), cigarettes (even more of) & wild performances - not just Cage but Dafoe, Ladd, Dern. Definitely recommended if you've yet to discover it!
