One of those films I watched loads as a child and then hadn't seen for some decades. My memory of it was pretty hazy and I was delighted to find how much fun this silly haunted house film remains.

Author Roger Cobb (a superbly comedic William Katt) moves into his deceased aunt's house, where his son had mysteriously disappeared some time before. Weird stuff starts to happen. There's Vietnam flashbacks, various rubbery monsters and next door neighbour George Wendt essentiallly playing Norm from Cheers.

Need to track down House II now, whcih I remember not liking nearly as much as this one. Never saw House III, didn't even know there was a House IV until reading about it on Wikipedia today!

Fezzik: Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?

Man in Black: Oh no, it's just that they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

THE PRINCESS BRIDE LITERALLY PREDICTED COVID.

90 minutes of people poking things into the camera due to it being shot in 3D. Made the whole thing moderately amusing instead of, basically, quite dull.

It's better made than the first one but still a bit rough around the edges. First half absolutely zipped by and the second half made not one jot of sense. It's perfectly watchable though.

The nostalgia and influence do most of the heavy lifting because let's face it, it's pretty slow, the audio is so bad that dialogue is frequently indecipherable and it looks a bit cheap. Tom Savini does pull a couple of great makeup effects out of the bag though despite a no doubt severely limited budget.

Big, glossy Indian sports biopic based on a true story (with, I suspect, many liberties taken) of a boy who dreamed of Olympic gold. It's a film with a huge heart, its consistently entertaining and at times hilariously over the top. It contains no less than three training montages but just the one song and dance routine.

Went into it not really knowing much. Wasn't expecting to be dropped into the middle of things with no set up, no character establishment, no nothing really. Found it quite novel and thoroughly enjoyed the film as it unfolded. Lovely nod to Churchill's Speech by Iron Maiden at the end.

Director Jon Spira has dedicated his latest documentary to my late brother, so I was never not going to like it. But... The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee is, genuinely, a supremely engaging, thoughtful and at times laugh out loud funny telling of the actor's long life. Narrated by a black and white marionette of Christopher Lee who is voiced by Peter Serafinowicz (thankfully doing more of a homage to the great man than an out-and-out impression), the film uses a range of storytelling techniques that lifts it far beyond the average talking head-type doc which can sometimes get a little dull.

An A-list cast of interviewees giving their thoughts and memories really helps cement the importance of Christopher Lee in the second half of the 20th century and beyond.

I saw it at its world premiere at FrightFest and was delighted that it was really well-received in a large, and largely full, auditorium. Plus it made me want to seek out various films that I've never got around to watching. The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee is roaring success and highly recommended.

So Prey is to Predator, Alien Romulus is to Alien - a back to basics focus on what made the first film so effective, although Romulus doesn't quite reach the heights of Prey. It very much feels like an Alien film for the next generation (and my 17 year old LOVED it and was particularly complementary of the fact that the dialogue actually reflected how young people talk to each other). There's a bit of every Alien film in here, a few new ideas, and when it gets going there's plenty of gooey thrills to be had. Enjoyed it much more than Prometheus and Covenant, that's for sure.

A film whose intro promises so much (tits, gore) but delivers so little (no more tits, not much more gore). Woeful.

To be honest I would have been perfectly happy with a drama about the trials and tribulations of a mid-80s film censor. The unravelling psychological stuff was fine, but led to an ending that I'm not sure really makes much sense.

If I had one complaint it's that save for one seen when the US troops land on the beach, the film doesn't really give a sense of the scale of the battle. It feels like there's about 50 Japanese troops defending the whole island. That aside, Letters from Iwo Jima is a well-constructed, thought-provoking war film.

Quiet, understated and sublime.

The best/only British film about swearing since The King's Speech.

Can't deny it's a well-crafted film with uniformly excellent performances - plus Barcelona looks lovely - but it just didn't click. Didn't mind the often-criticised narration, but just didn't really like any of the characters and found the ending so underwhelming that 30 minutes after I'd finished watching it I couldn't actually remember the final scene.

Tonally it hits the classic 70s and 80s comic period perfectly. It's probably my favourite MCU film and I could watch Andrew Garfield cracking Tobey Maguire's back all the day long.

I know it's a well-worn cliche to say they really don't make them like that any more, but they really don't make them like Roman Holiday any more. Audrey Hepburn is uttlerly charming, Gregory Peck chiselled and conflicted and the ending is just pefect.

Patiently waiting for the Lil Rel Howery-fronted TSA spin off TV show.

Just a prime slice of well-crafted undemanding romcom goodness that is elevated by an absolutely top notch cast.

It's staggering to think this actually happened, let alone happened in the reletively recent past. Every time i watch this documentatry I get a bit angry.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

*eyeball closeup*

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Enjoyed it even more a second time round. The cast is uniformly fantastic, the script razor-sharp and witty and the whole thing is just rollicking good fun.

Sometyimes, you just want stupid and Zoolander has it in spades.

At last - a found footage film that does something different! 70s late night talk show, demonic possession (or is it), batshit crazy ending, presented in 4:3 ratio. Had a goofy grin on my face for the whole thing. Absolutely splendid.

George our fearless hero riding a motorbike around the cinema wielding a samurai sword is worth the admission price alone. Demons is top-notch 80s Italian horror, really stupid and really fun.

There's been lots of praise heaped on Palm Springs but I just don't get it. It's only sporadically funny, for the most part it doesn't do much new with the Groundhog Day set-up except chuck a load of sex jokes in, and the attempts to discuss morality and the like just feel a bit heavy handed.

On the plus side there's great chemistry between Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti and it's only 90 minutes long.

Undemanding comedic fun as an exhausted married couple end up in a series of escalating scrapes on a night out in Manhatten. Date Night is really helped along by a top notch cast, a tightly structured story and brisk running time. Most enjoyable.

It's big, it's loud but most importantly it's really, really stupid. The first half is stupid, and the second half is even more stupid than that. It's far too long (but this was helped by watching it in an amazing 102 year old cinema that still puts an interval in every film) and I had a really fun time with it.

Fully appreciate there are some mega fans of this out there but didn't always hit the spot for me. Still plenty to enjoy but a pale imitation of the original.

I think I have seen Street Trash about 400 times.

Melting tramps, exploding tramps, necrophilia, a gay dog, penis violence, it really does have something for everyone.

Maddest thing I've seen in years. Only two walkouts in the middle class community cinema in my middle class town, which was slightly disappointing. Sporadically brilliant, looks incredible, but the story it tells does not need to take 141 minutes.

Although not my absolute favourite Jackie Chan, it's Premier League for sure. Chan in his prime was absolutely unstoppable and the balance of humour and martial arts expertise across the cast is jaw dropping. I've watched a lot of his films over the years, yet looking at his filmography I've really only scratched the surface!

It's a well put together chronological telling of the incredible career of Ronnie James Dio. To be a total RJD nerd, I was irked that in between the section on his early 80s Sabbath albums Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules and their reuniting as the band Heaven and Hell in 2006, there was no mention of the Sabbath record Dehuminizer in 1992, which RJD also sang on. Ho hum.

If I have one complaint about Christopher Nolan's meticulously contructed biopic, it's that I couldn't help but feel that some background reading needs to be done first in order to get the most out of it. That aside, it's quite an achievement. Surely an Oscar for Cilian Murphy, and if there's any justice, Robert Downey Jr as well.

My knowledge of Godzilla films is limited to a VHS triple pack I had in the early 90s, but I don't doubt those more experienced than I who say this is one of, if not the, best Godzilla films made.

It's a fantastic achievement, all the more so when taking into acount it's relatively microscopic budget. Characters you care about, a proper story, emotioanl highs and lows AND A MASSIVE RADIOACTIVE LIZARD.

Saw it in IMAX and it was loud as hell.

Also, no Godzooky so thumbs up for that.

I hadn't seen this for probably 30 years and had forgotten that Nancy goes all Home Alone on Freddy Krueger at the end. Sure, it shows its age but it's a really inventive film and remains most enjoyable.

I don't even know how many times I have watched Yogi's First Christmas but I do know I can recite pretty much the entire film.

Watched it as the second half of a "... Goes Wrong" double bill. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thought the stuff with the guy who can't remember his lines (again) was particularly clever, but didn't reach the giddy heights of Peter Pan Goes Wrong.

My first "... Goes Wrong" experience and wow, what an absolute joy. The added live audience really helped and the combination of David Suchet's gravitas with the utterly anarchic, well everything else, was tremendous. Immediately followed it with A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong.

I simply cannot think of a better way to spend Christmas Eve evening than 90 minutes Gonzo, Rizzo, Kermit, Miss Piggy and Michael Caine.

Fair play to Kevin Bacon for agreeing to take part in this ridiculous holiday special though I'd imagine the big fat Disney pay cheque probably helped. It was even more stupid than I was expecting. Didn't hate it.

Many, many years (okay, we're counting in decades) since I'd last seen it, but such is the power of Jonathan Demme's masterful concert movie there was plenty that was familiar. It's a quite extraordinary achievement with some really ballsy choices, not least the decision when Talking Heads launch into Once in a Lifetime, which at that time at least must surely have been their biggest hit, to leave the camera on a tight close-up of David Byrne at the expense of everything else happening on stage for almost the whole song.

From David Byrne's relentless energy to the lighting choices and the gradually assembled staging as the gig is already under way, Stop Making Sense is fantastic to look at, but it's the directorial and editing choices that really make this work as a film. Simply outstanding.

It was fine, I was expecting more. A bit Evil dead-lite. Sophie Wilde though, wow she is good.

I thought this did a terrific job of adapting the novel (a novel which is much beloved in our household).

Novel and film alike are fantastically twisted black comedies and yes, there are differences, but there's clearly so much thought that went into what would work from the book on screen. Loved it.

In the pantheon of "old man goes on a long journey by unusual means to visit someone who is seriously ill" films, this is a very distant second to The Straight Story.

I've seen this at the very top of best DCOM lists and can understand why. A demented cross between West Side Story, Back to the Future and a 50s teen flick, Teen Beach Movie never takes itself remotely seriously.

It has a genuinely witty script, some pitch-perfect performances and absolutely outstanding choreography.

Okay, maybe it flags for a few scenes in the middle of the film, but overall Teen Beach Movie is surprising joy.

Yep, somehow I'd never watched that superhero film that gets universal acclaim. The thing that really struck me is how the film strikes a perfect balance between comic book campness and proper, serious moviemaking. Outstanding.

It's just quite an odd film. There's a tonne of stuff that bears no relation to the main story and could be removed without affecting the core narrative at all. The whole concept is a bit mad, it's shrill, it's loud but at least it's sporadically entertaining.

Beloved (by some) 80s classic that I never got around to seeing. I dunno, it felt pretty dated and while the story within a story framing was quite fun, it didn't make a whole lot of sense. Also, it was irritating that stuff thappened for no good reason at all, such as our hero Atreyu having to leave all his weapons behind to go on his quest. Why? Never explained. I'm probably thinking too deeply about this.

With my B in GCSE Science, I feel more than qualified to understand and appreciate the physics in this film.

Anyway, the world building in the first act is wonderfully done, hints and clues rather than heavy exposition and while I didn't think the rest of the film was quite as good, I can quite understand why so many people rate Interstellar so highly.
