[QUOTE=Bit of a shame the first one isn't up to much I was hoping for some classic Walter Hill action.
[/QUOTE] Its not terrible - just a bit run of the mill - the 2 sequals are trashy and more old 80's MArtial arts films.

So I saw the movie The Runaways the other day...
 ...And say what you will about Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, but they put up AMAZING performances as Joan Jett and Cherie Currie. Incredibly well-done, this movie is a fantastic bio-pic and haunting look into the short-lived career and stolen childhoods of The Runaways. It's a fantastic character piece and and definitely an engaging film. Michael Shannon, who plays Producer Kim Fowley, does so with the right amount of sleaze and art. My only complaint about the movie was that it was too short - I wanted more... So I went ahead and checked out... Edgeplay: A Film About The Runaways  What an amazing documentary. Directed by Victory Tischler-Blue, bassist #2 for the band after Jackie Fox quit, Edgeplay is an incredibly well-done and honest film told through depicted through interviews with Vickie Blue, Cherie Currie, Lita Ford, Jackie Fox, Kari Krome, Sandy West, and Kim Fowley. Interesting, sad, disturbing, and ultimately engaging look into the lives of teenage girls who were taken advantage of by their Production Company. It's too bad that Joan Jett was not a part of the film - My only complaint with this one is that, again, I wish that it was longer. Both movies are HIGHLY recommended if you like The Runaways or if you're interested in good, solid music bio-pics or documentaries. Don't let the presence of teenie-boppers Stewart and Fanning fool you - They did an amazing job.

Evil Aliens (2005)
 OK. Wow. Quite possibly the most fun I've had on a random Netflix Rental since we picked Murder Party randomly out of a hat... Low-budget BBC schlock that is an absolute BLAST, Evil Aliens never once takes itself seriously and delivers a truly enjoyable slapstick gorefest. I found myself chuckling outloud more than once. It's sort of like Feast with a lower budget, more silly, and... British. HIGHLY recommended - V, Roshiq, et al: I think you'll get an absolute kick out of this. Elvis - Even though you're not generally impressed with horror comedy nowadays, I think that you'd enjoy this one. 4.75/5.

 Can't really let this one slip by with out noting the Death Wish similarities... but fuck it was GOOD. Best performance from Caine since his 70s heyday IMO. I love gritty UK stuff and this delivered it in spades. I hope there's some sequels. This one will be on my top ten for the year for sure.

Dead Man's Shoes is the best example of a British revenge flick though. I'm guessing you've probably seen it, but if you haven't check it out. That goes for pretty much anyone out there who hasn't seen it too. :cool:

 If you want a movie to make you think, give this a look.
