Chris: Death Rage is an Italian crime film starring Yul Brynner as a retired mob assassin who has unfinished business as he trains an assistant, not a great or even good film in any way, but I watched it to see Yul Brynner who was good in it, so recommended for his fans, Watch: When Free.

Chris: The Assassination Bureau is a British comedy / adventure film based on a Jack London novel starring Diana Rigg, Oliver Reed, and Telly Savalas, it could be seen to be an extension of The Avengers tv series due to so many actors appearing in the film from the series as well as having a similar feel to it, entertaining, different, strongly recommended for fans of The Avengers, Watch: When Free.

Chris: Dune 2 is a large second serving of Dune at 3 hrs, mostly a war in space film, beginning looked particularly good but long and not absorbing, don’t need more of this, Watch: On Subscription Service.

Richie: It had some interesting scenes, but the characters and script were hard to get into, I loved Part 1 but this one really didn’t do it for me, Watch: On Subscription Service.

Chris: Late Night with the Devil is a horror film about a 1970s tv broadcast about the occult that goes wrong, this looks and feels like a cult film on the first viewing meaning this is one of the better horror films in years, David Dastmalchian is a “must watch” actor now on the road to become a modern Vincent Price, Watch: On Subscription Service.

Richie: It got so many things right, it was a really fun watch, Watch: On Subscription Service.
