A 1956 style 'Iron Man'?

Advantages: Lon Chaney, Casey Adams, great 1950s LA location footage
Disadvantages: Looks low budget and a bit creaky, but so what, it's good

...ongoing deadpan voiceover narration throughout the film by Police Lieutenant Richard Chasen which seems to have been very much inspired by then-current popular police TV series 'Dragnet'. In San Quentin prison, notorious 'Butcher' Benton has been locked up for robbery and murder. His lawyer, Paul Lowe, is berating him for double-crossing fellow thugs Joe and Squeamy by having taken all of a large sum of stolen money for himself and hiding it, so ...
...about to go to the gas chamber. During their conversation it is revealed that Lowe the lawyer is crooked - he planned the heist and hired Butcher and his 'associates' to carry it out, and then stitched Butcher up and made him the fall guy. 'I'll have the satisfaction of knowin' that none'a you three crumbs is gonna spend it,' says Butcher, and continues 'I'm gonna kill you, Squeamy and Joe.' Lowe reminds him of his date with the gas chamber the next ...

Final Destination

Advantages: Above average horror
Disadvantages: Acting

I have to say I'm not a huge horror movie fan, especially with American movies, the last one to amuse me being that tongue-in-cheek one where the scarecrow thing attacks the school bus. But with a real buzz around films like Paranormal Activity, 'Let the Right One', a subtitled vampire winner from Sweden, and this, it seemed a good time to dabble. As the title suggests someone is going to be dragged to hell and before their time, always a good angle ...
...facing the flames. And with Sam 'Spiderman' Raimi directing, he who cut his teeth in this genre with the first two excellent Evil Dead movies, you know its going to be visually appealing and a little bit creepy. It did $80 million world-wide from a $30 million budget, which is pretty good for horror. Quentin Tarantino named this as number three in his top ten films of the year. Not that that means much.
