Meet your Nemisis!

Advantages: action packed.
Disadvantages: slightly wooly plot

...to conquer the movie world. Resident evil made a slowish start. The first film was watchable, and for a fan of the games like myself, it was entertaining. It seems, that the series is getting stronger, though, as apocalypse turns out to be a rip-roaring success. Highly enjoyable, and memorable for more than just Milla Jovavic (or, Milla yoyo-a-bit.). Yes she is a fox, but she could also kick your ass! The perfect woman! We left the last film with ...

My Hero

Advantages: Good spooky film, easy to get a hold of, not too long
Disadvantages: bit dated

...be scared silly of the Frankenstein Monster films and I think this was the one that scared me the most. It's very short, only just over an hour long, and probably not very scary if you watch it now as an adult but when you are young it's terrifying. It's in black and white was made in 1931 so it's almost as old as me! It stars Colin Clive as Doctor Frankensein who is on the quest to make a real live bloke out of the dead parts of other blokes. ...
...the brain (or head) of Frankenstein gets swapped with the brain (or head) of a mad man and then all hell breaks out. It stars our hero Boris Karloff as the most unattractive 'son' of Frankenstein and you have to feel sorry for the guy as nothing seems to go right for him. Lasses just run of screaming when they see him as his 'dad' made him look proper unattractive, with an odd face and a humpy back. Frankenstein also has a really funny (strange) ...
