No Blade of Grass is a 1970 USA Sci-Fi drama by Cornel
Wilde. With Nigel Davenport, Jean Wallace and John Hamill.
Cut by the BBFC for cinema release and again for VHS. Uncut in the US.
Summary Notes
A strange new virus has appeared, which only attacks strains of grasses such as wheat and rice,
and the world is descending into famine and chaos. Architect John, along with his family and friends, is making his way from London to his brother's farm in northern England where there will hopefully be food and safety for all of them. Along the way,
they encounter hostile soldiers, biker gangs, and all manner of people who are all too willing to take advantage of travelers for a mouthful of food.
The message is ham-fisted the look is very 1970, and some odd soundtrack choices
were made, but it's a bleak film about the collapse of civilization. But the story's premise is completely plausible and the violence gives depth to the plot and characters.
No Escape is a 1994 USA action drama sci-fi thriller by Martin
Campbell. With Ray Liotta, Lance Henriksen, Stuart Wilson.
BBFC category cuts for 15. Uncut elsewhere
Summary Notes: Interesting Flick
A soldier convicted for murdering his commanding officer is dumped and left to die on a prison island
inhabited by two camps of convicts.
What is it with guys like Ray Liotta and Lance Henriksen? They are great character actors, but once they take the lead, their films seem to be forgotten or ridiculed. No Escape is a
particularly interesting flick considering that both Liotta and Henriksen appear in it. Not to mention Ernie Hudson and Stuart Wilson, who are two other top-notch actors who seem to be stuck in ruts.
No Escape is a 2015 USA thriller by John Erick Dowdle. Starring Pierce Brosnan, Owen Wilson and Lake Bell.

Summary Review: Ghost of Bruce Lee
Jason Stillwell, a Bruce Lee fan, is beaten numerous times and trains from the ghost of Lee. Jason then must use his newly acquired skills to save Seattle from a crime syndicate.
This

Summary Notes
Two feuding brothers (one a policeman, the other a martial arts expert)
of different political views, join forces to avenge the death of their father, a retired agent, killed by the mafia.
The studio was said to be concerned that the director's version
may not go down well with the religious. However screenings with test audiences did not convince the studio that was a need for change. So the original director's version got the go ahead. However a disclaimer was added to posters to distance the film
from religious criticism:
The film is inspired by the story of Noah. While artistic license has been taken, we believe that this film is true to the essence, values and integrity of a story that is a cornerstone of faith
for millions of people worldwide. The biblical story of Noah can be found in the Book of Genesis.
Company chose to remove shots which dwelt on the infliction of injury (in this case focus on a thumb being severed with bloody detail), in order to achieve a 15 classification. An 18 without cuts was available.

Summary Review:
Strangely entertaining
Just a very simple tale of revenge as our hero,
the rather snazzily named (albeit incredibly bland chap) Steven Thrust, seeks retribution against a group of bikers and their employers who murdered his wife and son. It's a very much a by the numbers affair but is nonetheless strangely entertaining as
we get to see the miscreants get their just deserts as the film progresses.

Summary Notes
A terrorist (Anthony Perkins) holds an offshore drilling rig and production platform for ransom in the

A Northern Soul is a 2018 UK documentary by Sean McAllister. Starring Steve Arnott and Sean McAllister.
The film was originally 12A rated by local councils for local festival screenings in Hull and Sheffield. However when it was submitted to the BBFC it was rated 15 for strong language.
The film maker Sean McAllister was
unsurprisingly not impressed by the BBFC rating and he set out to convince councils that the non aggressive working class use of the word 'fuck' should not need a 15 rating.
Hull, Lambeth, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Southampton, Hackney, Bradford,
Calderdale, Scarborough and Nottingham agreed with McAllister, and awarded the film a local 12A rating.
It was later revealed that the film contains about 20 uses of the word 'fuck'.
Why is violence OK in a 12A film
-- but not a bit of swearing?
My film-making style is intimate and engaged -- I look for characters whom I film over a long period of time and who let me into their lives fully. Finding people who can articulate their situation is important, and
Steve's dream of helping poor kids in Hull during the city of culture period seemed the perfect opportunity. Steve trusted me and talked openly and honestly. Trust and intimacy are things a documentary film-maker works hard for -- they're not easily won,
and it is also a responsibility.
As a result, Steve speaks to me as he would to a mate -- his language is real and engaging. He uses the occasional F-word, as most of us do in everyday language, but only ever in my company, never
in front of anyone else, and this is never aggressive or sexual.
There is a limited amount of bad language in the film. There are 19 F-words: 14 from Steve, and five that feature in the song Sometimes by Akala, who appears briefly
in the film on stage, singing the lyrics When I feel like / Fuck it, I've had enough. It's the BBFC's job to count them and apparently you're not allowed more than four!
But the point isn't the strong language -- it's about a
voice and the everyday lived reality of someone being censored. It seems absurd that this would be deemed inappropriate for children, while films currently playing at the cinema receive 12A certificates despite gratuitous on-screen violence. Mission
Impossible, 12A, has a scene of someone being shot point blank on camera, for example.
The BBFC commented in its annual report covering 2018:
We classified the film 15 because of around 20 uses of
strong language. While the language in the film is not used aggressively or sexually, our research suggests that a significant proportion of parents are concerned about the normalisation of such language in films. The language in A Northern Soul, is used
casually in conversations, across a relatively short feature (75 minutes), with no particular justification.
Three people wrote to us complaining about the 15 rating for A Northern Soul feeling a 12A would be more appropriate. We
received 45 postcards protesting the 15 rating; however, these had been created and handed out to cinema goers by the filmmakers at screenings and do not provide an accurate representation of broad public opinion.
Summary Notes
A Northern Soul is Hull-born award-winning documentary filmmaker Sean McAllister's take on 2017. It follows struggling factory worker Steve Arnott's dream of bringing hip-hop and rap to the city's estates in a youth
project involving a converted bus.

Not of This Earth is
a quickly made, low budget, R rated, sci-fi movie. It's made very much in the style of the B movies of the 50s and 60s except for the R rating. The R rating comes from several scenes of topless women and some sexual activity. The star of the film is
Traci Lords in her first role in a non-porno film. It is also supposedly the last time she appears topless in any film. I'm sure this is one of the big attractions of the movie to a lot of viewers. She did surprise me though by her acting. It really
wasn't bad.
It is an interesting and fun movie and has some pretty good scenes of it's own. The film has plenty of mistakes and bloopers to look for that were left in due to the low budget.
Not of This Earth is a fun movie that combines some light comedy, horror and sci-fi. The movie is not meant to be taken too seriously. It's best viewed by a non critical eye with the
intent of just having a good time. This can be a really enjoyable and fun modern B movie if watched in the right frame of mind.

Summary Review: Surreal
Italian Gothic horror that tells the tale of a man who stops at a remote castle hoping to get
medical help for an injured woman, only to find the inhabitants mirror the darker sides of the woman and himself.
This is a somewhat surreal Italian exploitation movie and although it does have a plot hidden within it, the
emphasis is firmly upon the entertainment provided by each scene. The exploitation theme is carried out with great enthusiasm with large amounts of nudity, lesbian themes, whipping and even a horny spider, but all somewhat harmlessly.
Visually, the movie is quite classy with good production values and this is a good quality print. Overall whilst this is no masterpiece, it does combine some good moments coherently with surreal elements and it all looks pretty into
the bargain. Collectors of this genre could do much worse than get hold of this, its well above average for this type of movie.

There's not a lot of nudity here at all.
Instead of erotic lesbian vampires with no clothes on; we've got a cumbersome plot about a man who wants to unlock the secret to immortality.
The usual Rollin problems...which are: The subject matter would usually lend for a
visual feast. However Jean Rollin manages to be an ultimate bore when it comes down to the cinematography in this production.
The editing is sloooooow. Do we really need to see a guy walk across a field until he disappears into the horizon? In
an end sequence maybe, however not in the middle of a story that already tends to induce sleep.

there, producers were looking to trim Nymphomaniac to four hours, and then split that running time in half for Volumes 1 & 2 . This trimmed producer's cut is what is expected to debut in Denmark on Christmas Day.
The Wall
Street Journal reports that In general, apart from scenes with oral sex, the onscreen activity is not as graphic as in adult fare (In addition, unlike in real porn, body doubles are used). Also, the film often portrays sex as a mechanical, unemotional
act. Von Trier seems to want to show that appetite for sex is human, but that it also sometimes makes humans act inhuman.

Did we really need more? Did we really need to see a graphic self-abortion, male genitals in all manner of pre/post sexual release? Did we need more conversations between Joe and Seligman?
After viewing Lars Von Trier's director's cut of Nyphomaniac, packing in at least 40 more minutes of provocative button pushing, the answer is an enthusiastic Yes!
In the new cut, there is more of the
father figure, we can see how the rest of Joe's life becomes predatory and predestined. We also get more explicit looks at the character's early travails. The train tryst before offers up some hardcore results now. And then there is the abortion. It's
graphic. It's gross. It's gruesome. But it's also a necessary part of Joe's past.
