Blonde Venus (1932) - Josef Von Sternberg

This film was really good, even if it was banned two years after it's release.
Marlene Dietrich is the definitive bitch of Hollywood stardom, even if she claims everything she did was for the love of her family. Like you'd turn down Cary Grant for your poor husband and kid. They never had a chance.
What the goddamn hell happened to the kid's puppy though, seriously? It was in one scene, then disappeared for good. Ouch. Poor thing probably got murdered whilst they were on the run.

PS No, seriously... where is the dog?

Leprechaun (1993) - Mark Jones

I think I dozed off, but there was a bit of cheesiness, that I liked. And Jennifer Aniston pre-Friends was quite good to watch.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) - Jim Sharman

After watching this at the theatre for Valentine's Day, I simply had to rewatch the film.
I couldn't help but compare the two, but myself and my friend who watched the film with me agreed that in the grand scheme of things they were both equally impressive. We liked the "live" bedroom scenes better, but we also liked the way the film had sneaky in-jokes and the pauses between each line, allowing one to shout. The stage show did this too, but the actors obviously reacted, some good and some bad. But yeah, overall, both get a five star rating.

This Is 40 (2012) - Judd Apatow

Not as good as Knocked Up (2007), but sequels never are, I suppose. Still worth a watch, but nowhere near as good. As a 20 year old, I don't think I am the target market for this film, but there were some funny bits.

Warm Bodies (2013) - Jonathan Levine

I liked the twist in the regular zombie movie. It was a bit like Colin (2008) - Marc Price, in the way it followed the zombie's point of view (in this case, R [a subtle reference to Romeo and Juliet I presumed, with a particular scene]).
It wasn't a great movie. Some of the comedy fell a bit short of the mark.
Nicholas Hoult should be more of a Hollywood heart throb after this film, as the romance parts were very well done, and it definitely worked as a rom com.

A Room for Romeo Brass (1999) - Shane Meadows

Watching Dead Man's Shoes (2004) perked my interest in Meadows again, so I watched my favourite one again. Paddy Considine is amazing, and I only just realised that this is his debut! Wow! Amazing for a first performance.

Dead Man's Shoes (2004) - Shane Meadows

Brilliant film. British classic. Better than This Is England (2006), and deserves more recognition as a benchmark of excellence.
