Hooray! As such with my luck, my beautiful lady and are currently the recipients of the viral variation of H1N1 known as “Swine Flu”. Supposedly caught from an irresponsible cat at the lady’s work, this virus is indeed not very fun, and has the following symptoms:

- Tiredness

- Headaches

- Sore throat

As such, we’ve been holed up in bed, and inbetween intermittent periods of sleeping and Tamiflu, have been watching a few films. Which are:

“Hooray for rock and roll and boo to squares!” is basically this flick’s message, and I can dig it. I’m not normally a huge fan of Richard Curtis, but he does ok here with some great actors to back him up and a groovin soundtrack. Oh, and Duffy. Welsh hag.

 

Christmas is upon us, so it’s back to the 80s. No more needs to be said.

 

John Carpenter and Debra Hill must have been smoking something when  they came up with this one. Some of the kills are neat, and Donald Pleaseance is a blast, but the rest of it’s terrible.

 

The best Friday flick for sure. An absolute blast of self-referencing and horror genius, about fifty years before Craven’s smug SCREAM.

This flick has had some good hype, and it’s a lot of fun. It’s not amazing, and I don’t see it being a Halloween classic, but it’s a good romp. Also, lady werewolves.
