19.01 Although there were some interesting ideas and characters, as well as a strong performance from Isabelle Huppert, it felt very dated. The jokes don't hold up so well. At times it was heavy handed and it almost had a student film feel to it. This was further emphasised by its needless references to French cinema. The scene towards the end where the detective gets shot 10 times recalls Jean Luc Godard and the 'sensitive' police officer Melville is presumably named after Jean Pierre Melville. A relatively good film but it lacks an edge.

17.01 Awful addition to the Hellraiser series. Even Lance Henriksen and the beautiful Katheryn Winnick (star of Vikings) couldn't save it from being the worst film in the series. The Lament Configuration only shows up towards the end. A big mistake.

16.01 This was a pretty unsettling film. It kind of gnaws away at the viewer by repeating visual cues and sounds, building up to an extremely unnerving atmosphere. Smiling naked people standing in darkness freaked me anyway.

10.01 Kubrick's final masterpiece gave me even more to ponder on my third viewing. I loved the references to his previous films, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, Lolita and 2001 A Space Odyssey. Visually and atmospherically excellent.
