Mysterious Stranger
Some interesting magic history, a few neat tricks and lots of David Blaine’s self-hating magic style-endurance artist crap.
Haunted
Starts out with some amusing short stories but never amounts to much. The main plot line is barely existent and the stories are pointless.
Zardoz
Yeah that’s right, a novelization of Zardoz. It’s just as inexplicable as the movie.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
It was a good read even though it’s about wizards and other nerdy things.
Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror
This one is so bad it’s good. Another Italian zombie movie. This one has bad overly lit make-up, no plot, ridiculous situations (a bear trap in the middle of the estate grounds), and a 30-year-old playing an 11 year-old with an Oedipus complex to the extreme.
The Streetfighter
A violent and gritty kung-fu movie starring Sonny Chiba. Terrisan is basically playing a kung-fu version of Tuco from the Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Don’t Torture a Duckling
Early thriller by Lucio Fulci. Moves along pretty well , but the story is predictable with some laughably misplaced moments of violence and a few squirmy kids and sex moments.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Much better than the Royal Tanenbaums. Slow paced and unfunny at times, but worth viewing for the art direction alone.
The Diabolical Doctor Z
Low Budget 60s exploitation by Jess Franco. Entertaining, but not quite as stylish as I expected. The soundtrack is excellent and there is one or two memorable scenes.
Spellbound
Documentary about National Spelling Bee. Not a terribly deep movie, but entertaining nonetheless.
