Capricorn One (1977; Peter Hyams) - Extremely entertaining conspiracy thriller about a fake Mars landing. The plot might be far fetched, but great cast and thrilling action scenes.
7.5/10
Freaks (2018; Zach Liposfky, Adam B. Stein) - Did we really need another low budget version of the X-Men? This starts out intriguingly but soon becomes your average mutants vs. government story.
5/10
The House With Laughing Windows (1976; Pupi Avati) - Dark atmospheric Italian horror, only let down by a somewhat ridicuolous late twist.
7/10
White Of The Eye (1987; Donald Cammell) - Experimental serial-killer flick with interesting cinematography and attractive Arizona locations, but the plot was just a bit too crazy for my liking and it's not a particularly gripping watch either.
5/10
TV
Dark Matter - Season 1 (2015) - Good concept: Some people wake up on an abandoned space ship with no memory of who they are and how they got there. But let down by low budget and unimaginative set design.
4/10
Repeat View
Death On The Nile (1978; John Guillermin) - All star Christie adaptation still delivers the goods even if Peter Ustinov's performance as Poirot has been somewhat spoiled by David Suchet's take on the material.
6.5/10
The Pink Panther (1963; Blake Edwards) - Not an out-and-out comedy and far less slapsticky than the sequels this is still a charming and likeable movie.
7/10
The Wing or The Thigh? (1976; Claude Zidi) - Classic French comedy pokes fun at the country's obsession with gastronomy. It's not as hysterical as other Louis De Funès comedies, but has about a handful of good laughs.
6.5/10
Still with computer problems. 
I'll be back next week, though, I'll just miss this one. ::biggrin:
