While I was away.

Trick R Treat (2008), really fun, non-scary, irreverent anthology horror flick. The sort of film Creepshow 9 or Halloween 14 would be in a better universe. 4 Pumpkins.

Drag Me To Hell (2009), lots of old Raimi riffs played over a rather racist and flimsy script. 2 Dead Kittens.

Dredd (2012) Best Judge Dredd film yet made. A day in the life of THE LAW. If any film of last year deserves a sequel it's this one. Five Cubed Perps.

Cigarette Burns (2005) Remember when John Carpenter seemed to know what he was doing? This pile of vile rubbish (with one unintentional ALLOL moment) almost made me forget. There is one sequence which is utterly unforgivable. "Made for TV" is no excuse for this sort of sloppiness, the worst episodes of Season Two The Walking Dead were more watchable than this. It says something when even Udo Kier doesn't give it his all. Not even worth watching for the one big laugh. Minus All Balls.

Miracle Mile (1988) fun eighties romantic comedy fantasy with a big surprise. One of the best films I saw last year. A Trillion Diamonds.
