Legend of Hell House - Pretty great haunted house flick. Basically the biggest inspiration for Edgar Wright's DON'T fake trailer in Grindhouse. Oozes with style and mood, brilliantly directed and shot. Characters are a bit iffy, but luckily the performances are pretty good. Roddy McDowall in particular is awesome.

7.7 out of 10 possessed black cats.

Darkman - A better title would've been Clicheman, because it is just that: cliched. Really, really cliched. Maybe its cliches weren't cliched yet when it was released, but that goes to show you how dated it is. The greenscreen effects don't hold up at all either. It's entertaining though, mostly thanks to Liam Neeson's performance and some of his lines ("Take the f*cking elephant!") and Sam Raimi's direction.

6 out of 10 Bruce Campbell synthetic masks.

Guardians of the Galaxy - Just as good as last time...maybe even better. The villain didn't bother me as much anymore and its message seemed stronger than last time; it really is solid escapism.

8.1 out of 10 'finger to the throat' metaphores.
