Rollin' with the Nines (2006)

Gulp!

[9/10 · 14 February 2006]

This is a stunning feature. Shocking and balls out this film makes you think, wince and scream all at the same time.

For a low budget Brit flick this is one of the most dynamic films to come out of the UK in years.

There were parts I didn't like - the start is hard to get into but when the film gets going it gets going fast with great action and violence.

Kudos goes to Terry Stone who is outstanding. Not so good were Vas Blackwood and George Calill who both seemed a like they were sleep walking.

But over all this is a superb film. And bound to cause some serious controversy when it opens in March

The Purifiers (2004)

Not The Best UK Action Movie This Year...

[2/10 · 14 February 2006]

I don't normally DO action or martial arts films. I'm a girly girl. But every so often you have to relent and let the boyfriend watch something HE wants.

The Purifiers was it. He followed the production of this in magazines in the UK like Impact and Combat along with another UK action feature. We had a double bill of this and Richard Jobson's 'Purifiers'.

Comparing the two is like chalk and cheese (although they both share similar actors and stunt men and where made around the same time). One is interesting. Enjoyable. Fun. And exciting. The other is The Purifiers.

If you have the choice of watching one or the other Left For Dead is the one to go with.

This film is just dull, pointless and badly acted toss. Alexander should be shot for crimes against acting. Oh well could be worse... at least I had the momory of Left For Dead to erase this!

Left for Dead (II) (2005)

Not My Kinda Film... Or So I thought!

Left For Dead surprised me. As I said I don't normally DO action or martial arts films. But this was a fun movie, enjoyable and not badly put together for an independent action film.
