I see a film and I write a few words about it. Sometimes I add a picture.

94. Stoker
Directed by Chan-wook Park, Stoker is a solid piece of Asian cinema in a western setting.
It has all the usual tropes; Murder and brutality is a hobby practised by more of the protagonists than not, while law enforcement and the general consequences of death dealing are something of an after thought.
It's ultimately a gruelling experience that any wannabe sadist will enjoy
56. Cemetery Junction
Cemetery Junction is the best film John Hughes didn't make. It's also the most 'ungervais' movie Ricky Gervais will make. By that I mean it lacks acerbic, nasty and sometimes hilariously cruel humour he can dish out for a more positive and sunny outlook on the proceedings.
This is to his and the films credit as it is a beautifully entertaining comedy that is both very, very funny, nicely observed and all warm and fluffy with it.
