Up The Creek (1984)
Up the Creek sees Tim Matheson lead the obligatory collection of student stereotypes romping and cavorting in spectacularly childish fashion. And it's fun!

The Big Picture (1989)
Kevin Bacon comedies in the 80's didn't hit big, however, The Big Picture from Christopher Guest stood the test of time and is a film that still gets in on the conversation today.

Overdrive (1998)
Steve Guttenberg is back in the action hero mould and the plot of Overdrive is as scant as it is interesting. If it's action, car chases and sizzling sex you crave... look elsewhere.

Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972)
Directed by Amando de Ossorio Tombs of the Blind Dead is Spanish/Portuguese co-production that has a turbulent history of releases to get it in front of the audience yet still a perfect Halloween watch in 2024.

Revenge of the Living Dead Girls (1987)
Revenge of the Living Dead Girls is a curious title that begs a view. A cheap french zombie flick with quite the twist and some nasty gore!

Volunteers (1985)
Most will see Volunteers as a dumb American comedy, which it certainly is and there are plenty of better ones. However, I always favour the underdog and prefer the pointlessness of this film over Hanks’ bigger hits like Big and Splash.

Renegades (2017)
Renegades has been sitting in my "to watch" pile for about a number of years.
Written by Luc Besson and Richard Wenk (Taken and The Equaliser), there should be some treasure to be found in this story or Navy Seals looking for lost... treasure.

Top Line (1988)
Top Line is a mess and it’s a great shame as there are some great ideas early on for a spirited adventure before things take a ridiculous sci-fi turn in the last 20 minutes.

The Squeeze (1977)
The Squeeze from 1977 is really a combination of the talent involved to keep things entertaining and thrilling. A forgotten British thriller that needs to be resurrected!

Shallow Grave (1987)
All involved deserve more credit than they got for Shallow Grave as it’s a solid winner that benefits from its cheap feel and it is honestly a pretty unexpected success.
