Death Ship (1980)
A startling lack of Nazi corpse ghosts
If this was like Alien on an abandoned Nazi ship, with rotting Nazi skeletons lurking in the dark depths of the ship THEN this would be a movie. Or maybe that happens towards the end? I wouldn't know cos I had to turn this trash off after less than an hour. George Kennedy sleepwalks through another potboiler.
Da 5 Bloods (2020)
Masterpiece
Innovative mixed media fusion, genre hopping, emotionally hard hitting, gripping, relevant, informative, gutsy movie. Funny as hell too.
Delroy Lindo gives a performance of a lifetime that elevates the film to classic Vietnam war film status.
Mark Kermode can eat... sheeeeeeeeeeit.
Before Stonewall (1984)
Warmly presented and informative
A humanising and edifying account of the emerging gay rights movement across the early to mid twentieth century. Before Stonewall documents the struggles gay people faced leading to the protests of the 1960s. Containing archive footage of early depictions of gays on film, original interviews with gay rights activists, frequenters of early gay scenes of New York and San Francisco and authors including Allen Ginsberg. This film made me realise what a force for the creative voice the gay scene was in how it championed the subversive and the ironic. It is testament to the boundless positivity and optimism of the prominent individuals of the gay rights movement featured in this film that despite the often painful experiences they had to endure, their stories are retold in a witty and engaging way. Highly recommended for both educational and entertainment purposes!
