Whispers in the Dark (1992) - This cost $30 million. A "too classy to be a horror" "erotic thriller" with Alan Alda as a murderous nutter?

L'Amour de Braque (1985) Gallic nonsense.

Victor/Victoria (1982) - Nice to see Michael Robbins.

Hard Target (1993)- Serviceable but entertaining actioner, but never reaches the madness it quite needs.

Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter (1990)- Dipshit Toxic Avenger, then Dipshit Darkman.

The Loves and Times of Scaramouche (1976) - The Italian Royal Flash?

Les Ordres (1974) - Cold, clinical Canadian drama.

Leonard Part 6 (1987) - Err, it's as bad as I feared. Joe Don Baker is wasted. Poor Tom Courtenay, especially as he'd stopped acting in films for a decade before the Dresser relaunched him, and then he decides to do this?!?

THe Phantom of the Ritz (1989) - Snooze.

The Purple Ball (1987)

Cut Throats Nine (1972) - Bleak, tough but authentic feeling Spanish western.

The Intruder (1975) - A typical Florida tax shelter film that was never made to be released.

Tales from the Hood (1995) - Better than Boyz N THe Hood (1991), simply because of Clarence Williams III. 

She Came to the Valley (1979) - Peculiar, weirdly 50s type western. 

Satanico Pandemonium (1975)

Hard Knocks (1980) - Dreary delinquency from Australia. 

Revenge (1986) - 80s Oklahoma slasher shite. How did they get Pat Wayne into this?

Cattle Annie and Little Britches (1981) - Amanda Plummer and Diane Lane plus Burt Lancaster in an anachronistic-feeling western. 

The American Scream (1989) - Not the fun the video cover promotes, but a hideously ropey snow-slasher/sex comedy. 

Long Island Cannibal Massacre (1980) - It's a Ronseal kind of film. 

Akenfield (1974) - Didn't realise Peter Hall's epic of rural English life was contemporary set.

An American Hippie in Israel (1972) 

Eliza Fraser (1976)

Mutant (1984)

The Legend of Blood Castle (1975)

The Cop (1970) - Routine Eurocrime.

Watch Me When I Kill (1977) - Generic giallo.

Mamba (1988) - Rote snake horror with Mrs. Sting. 

Stone (1974) - Routine biker adventure, but being Austalian, that adds a lot.

Hell River (1974) - Half-baked but somewhat charming war film with Rod Taylor again doing his quarter-arsed American accent (still sounds Aussie, mind) and Adam West with bleached hair as a Nazi. 

Windwalker (1980)

Mad Mutilator (1985) - Amateurish French slasher.

Moon in Scorpio (1987) - Dreary middle-aged yacht slasher with Britt Ekland.

DEadline (1984)

Freakshow (1989)

Edge of the Axe (1989) - No sign that this is by Jose Larraz, but hey ho, it is.

Cardiac Arrest (1980)

Centrespread (1982)  - Typical Australian grot.

See also Hoodwink (1981) and Heatwave (1982), Man of Flowers (1983), The True Story of Eskimo Nell (1976),  Felicity (1978), Running from the Guns (1987), Kadaicha (1988)

Alley Cat (1984) - Rote vigilante pic.

Evils of the Night (1985) - Neville Brand looks like a nan.

48 hrs (1982) - Sure I had logged this, but no. It's just a fine cop buddy movie.

See also Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

Oddballs (1984) - Is this supposed to be a kids' film?

Witness (1985) - Can't believe this was not shot in Canada.

Jason Lives - Friday the 13th Part VI (1986)   - Huh.

Future Kill (1985) - Miserable punk SF

The Legend of Billie Jean (1985) - Supergirl and Lisa Simpson (in Southern "Mumma's watchin' her stories" mode) versus Man in a Suitcase. 

Teen Wolf (1985) - What a load of shite.

The Nest (1988) - Routine bug movie.

Demonwarp (1988) - Rural alien horror with George Kennedy.

The Wraith (1986) - The Car with a cyberpunk sheen.

Steel Dawn (1987) - Mad Pat in Sarth Ifrika. 

Reform School Girls (1986) - Pat Ast an underused presence.

Faceless (1987) - This might be my favourite Jess Franco. That cast...

The Housekeeper (1986)- Dreary Canadian psychodrama Ruth Rundell Mystery with Rita Tushingham. Begins in London, though the snowy Canadian industrial locale has a  more Northern look to it. 

Stand Alone (1985)/The Annihilators (1985) - Ropey New World actioners, but at least Stand Alone has Charles Durning giving it his all and Bert Remsen looking like Len Fairclough.

City Heat (1984) - Burt and Clint (and Richard Roundtree briefly) in one of those "Bugsy Malone with adults" films. 

The Red Headed corpse (1971) - Rote giallo.

Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller (1989) - Aussie kids TV esque Canadian coproduction.

Kill Me Again (1989) - Routine Val Kilmer.

Pouvoir Intime (1986) - Fair Canuck thriller.

Nightmare  on Elm Street III - Dream Warriors (1987) - Nan Martin should have done more horror stuff, as a Sheila Keith-like presence. 

Heathers (1989) - the sheer late 80s-ness of it is a problem for this Millennial. Not the other stuff, which is fine. It's just 1989 was a time when things looked tacky. 

The Unnamable (1989) - Routine late 80s horror with plenty of FX, gloss but little actual meat and dull performances.

Killer Party (1986) - Feels like a Goosebumps, but then you realise William Fruet worked on that.

Dead Ringers (1988) - Excellent performance from the man in the pink castle. 

Out of the Dark (1988) - Divine emanating drag king vibes as a hard boiled PI is the one highlight. 

Creepshow 2 (1986) - Holt McCallany's big Irish head  dressed up as a Native American - like a member of the Indian Showband...

Sinbad of the Seven Seas (1989) - The Princess Bride Italian style. 

Bodycount (1986) - The Italains gamely do an American slasher, but there's no style or excitement.

Spookies (1986) - Is this supposed to be a kids' film?

Let Sleeping Cops Lie (1988) - Routine Delon vehicle.

Pumpkinhead (1988)- Typical mid-range 3-star US horror.

One Crazy Summer (1986)  Too obnoxiously zany

River's Edge (1986) - Dreary 80s indie music in film.

Twentieth Century (2019) - I like the visuals, but this latest film from the Winnipeg Film Group never really comes together. Nice to see once ubiquitous Canadian funnyman Sean Cullen again.

Cross Country (1983) - Bland Canuck thriller.

Mongrel (1982) - Aldo Ray, Miller lite and a killer dog...

Doorman (1986) - Forgettable if well-made semi-slasher with Bradley Whitford.

Dead Bang (1989)

Midnight (1989) - Lynn Redgrave as Elvira versus Tony Curtis. Like The Mummy Lives, not a comedy.

The Private War of Sgt. O'Farrell (1968) - Rotuine Bob Hope comedy. 

Kilink in Istanbul (1967) - Bond and Dracula soundtracks appear in this luantic Turkish item. 

Sudden Death (1985) - Routine female rape/revenge. 

Strike Commando 2 (1989) - The fact that Richard Harris in this horrid ninja/Raiders/Rambo knockoff is so staggering that I thought at points it were  a lookalike, but then he opened his mouth, and when a strange culchie/Yank twang came out in that unmistakeable voice, no, it is him. 

Passport to Shame (1959) - Rote Brit noir with Diana Dors and Eddie Constantine.

Mad at the World (1955)  - Surprisingly rote JD-er 

The Frightened Lady (1940) - Rote Edgar Wallace.

The Edge of the World (1937) - A very Scottish picture.

MIdnight Limited (1940) - Rote Monogrammer. 

The World Ten Times Over (1963) - Decent turns by Sylvia Syms and Billy Hartnell. 

Living Legend (1980) - Earl Owensby plays the legendary king of rock and roll, Eli.

That's right, Eli.

This not-Elvis however sings with the voice of actual Roy Orbison (whose career was in the gutter -hence his appearances in the Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club).

The songs are ear-scrapingly terrible, despite that voice.

Owensby has no charisma or presence, and you don't buy that he is this huge rock star. Dean Stockwell was a better lipsyncer to Orbison. Plus Orbison's voice is so inimitable that it just doesn't fit Owensby's lips. You may as well have just cast Orbison.
