Run Fatboy Run (2007)
Run and grab a copy
Being a Spaced fanatic and fan of both Simon Pegg and the brilliantly funny Dylan Moran, I hang my head in shame with how late I was coming across this film.
I thought Hot Fuzz was good, but not on par with the excellent Shaun of the Dead, and having heard mixed reviews of Run Fatboy Run, it took me a little while to lay my hands on a copy, but thankfully I wasn't let down.
The laughs come thick and fast right from the start, whether it's Dennis (Pegg) chasing a thieving transvestite down the high street, or the "itch in the scrotal area" scene involving Dennis and the shop dummy, the bitch-slapping "fight" between Dennis and Gordon (Moran) or the blister popping ooze-fest, it never stops.
The support from Hank Azaria and Thandie Newton are played to a tee, and a special mention to the side-splitting Harish Patel who steals every scene he's involved in is perfect.
The story is predictable, but don't let that stop you from enjoying yet another excellent British offering. I was a trifle disappointed there was no Nick Frost in it, but we can't have it all.
Hellmaster (1992)
This was a waste of a pound
A few weeks ago my wife and I saw this film on sale at the local Poundshop along with some other "budget" DVDs (Aenigma, Nutjob, The Red Monks, Turkey Shoot, etc.) and for the fun of it, we decided to part with a quid and buy it, thinking it would be a Nightmare on Elm Street rip-off. If we'd have known what we were letting ourselves in for (not that we expected much to start with) we wouldn't have bothered! First off, with names such as David Emge and John Saxon, you would expect quality. Sadly by name value itself, they cannot save the next 80-odd minutes of pure crap that vomits itself onto your TV screen.
The supporting cast is pretty well useless. Made up of nobodies whose acting skills would put a sack of potatoes to shame and I won't even talk about the shambles of a story.
Admittedly I did watch it with a smile, but this was a smile of disbelief due to how badly the film is badly written, not to mention the bad edited with audio levels all over the place. All in all the shiny little disc would make a rather nice coaster for your mug of tea.
Poor film and was a waste of a pound.
