Bio: Increasingly besotted by old forms of media. Open Reel Tape, Vinyl, even cassette. Am considering getting the VHS out of the attic. ASD and increasingly unapologetic about it as I get older.

Seven Samurai (1954) - Rated 19 Jul 2018

This is truly an original and a classic. Long as it is I wish there was more of it. The character building is immense.

My Cousin Vinny (1992) - Rated 19 Jul 2018

Standout performances from Marisa Tomei and Joe Pesci with a beautiful cameo from Fred Gwynne. One of the last hurrahs of 80s style character comedy from the US

I Am Legend (2007) - Rated 19 Jul 2018

A bit "teen fiction" at times but on the whole really very suspenseful and atmospheric zombie movie. Really great for kids of 12ish up as an introduction to the genre.
