#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1994. DEATH MACHINE was Stephen Norrington's first time in the director's chair & while there are some decent moments, they are eclipsed by very shouty & annoying performances. Good model work & fx, horrible computer graphics, even for the time!

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1990. Somehow, I'd never gotten around to David Lynch's WILD AT HEART, a mix of Elvis, The Wizard of Oz, sex (lots of), cigarettes (even more of) & wild performances - not just Cage but Dafoe, Ladd, Dern. Definitely recommended if you've yet to discover it!

today has been one of the most stressful I've EVER had at work. I even startled the electrician working upstairs by screaming FUCK!! at the top of my lungs. Calmed down by editing a MAMMOTH, 300th episode of @thedtvdigest.bsky.social & grabbed a new #skircle to remind myself there's chill out there.

As part of our 300th celebratory episode, @thedtvdigest.bsky.social is looking at the #shortfilm THE SECOND TIME AROUND. A very enigmatic, beautifully shot film. Got a spare 15min? Head over to the Channel4 app & check this out!

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1989: Ringo Lam's WILD SEARCH has been likened to Witness; yeah if you squint hard enough, although there's no barn building here. Chow Yun Fat stars as a cop on the edge, protecting a young child & her aunt from a gang of arms smugglers. Gritty, realistic action.

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1988. HER VENGEANCE is a nasty grape/revenge flick about a young woman (Siu-Fung Wong) goes after the 5 rapists who attacked her. Lam Ching Ying proves even when in a wheelchair he's a badass. The bloody, A-TEAM style ending is awesome.

#ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1987. I'd often spied CHERRY 2000 in the video rental shelves but never got round to seeing it. Wow. This is one for all those incels demanding their sexbots. Speaking of: our "hero" is an idiot who ignored the "Do Not Get Wet!" warning sticker. Great crane stunt though.
