Filthy Review - 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989)

Review by Jude Felton

Has is really been over 20 years since Bill S. Preston Esq and Ted “Theodore” Logan first graced our screens? It has indeed, and when Fox announced, out of the blue, that they were to release this gem of a movie on to Blu-ray, I was surprised, albeit happily surprised. Saying that though they do have a habit of releasing some cool movies through their MGM label, with Killer Klowns from Outer Space and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 being two recent beauties to hit Blu.

Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast, it's 'Hudson Horror Show 666'!

There'll be no tapes here though, just 35mm goodness as Re-Animator, Conan the Barbarian, Phantasm 2, The Devil's Rain, Switchblade Sisters and the original Black Christmas splatter across the big screen! I plan on being there, and so should you. Read on for more details, including ticket info.

Filthy Music Review - 'Plan B: iLL Manors'


Plan B – Ill Manors: Music from and inspired by the Original Motion Picture

Review by Jude Felton

Ben Drew, aka Plan B, has appeared in a few movies in recent years, such as Adulthood, Harry Brown and the upcoming The Sweeney, but with Ill Manors he has turned his talents to directing. Unfortunately the film does not at present have a US release, although I will be picking up an import copy in the near future, of which I will then review. Having listened to this soundtrack though you will get a very good idea of how the film plays out, and it is brutal stuff.

Filthy Review - 'Savages'


Savages (2012)

Review by Jude Felton

Director Oliver Stone has without doubt been a favorite director of mine for years, and between the mid-80s’ and mid-90s’ I pretty much enjoyed the hell out of every movie he made, aside from Nixon, which I have still yet to see. Stone definitely puts his own stamp on each film, and is never shy of letting you know what his stance is on any given subject. Whether you agree or not is down to you, but damn he has made some good movies, even if he has gone off the boil of late.

Filthy Review - 'Gangsters, Guns and Zombies'


Gangsters, Guns and Zombies (2012)

Review by Jude Felton

The first I heard of this little gem, from back across the pond, was several months ago when I caught the first trailer. I will admit, as if often the case these days, that when I saw there was another zombie film on its way I wasn’t exactly filled with manic excitement. However, there was something about the trailer that just seemed to gel, and fortunately that is amplified in the film itself. Zombies won’t die, not in film anyway, as long as there is passion behind the making of the film. Gangsters, Guns and Zombies has this passion by the shitload.
