Nitro-Arse 3d 2011 ****
It is the 45th century and the earth is inhabited by a band of humans and a  human/bear hybrid.  They compete for  survival but the humans have an ace up their sleeves, Tim Mothbattt             (Vin Diesel).  Not only does he work out but he is master of machinery.  His girlfreind is kidnapped by the bear king Grrrrrner (Robert Downer Jnr) and Tim must get to Bear Island before they eat her.  He has 60 minutes to travel 40 miles.  He inserts a Nitro propelled gadget into his buttocks and presses the red button...  The rest is movie history.

Rammed 2002 ***
Hold on your knitted scarves as Vin Diesel takes a car with a fuel injection system that would make Apollo 9 weep and drives it through various city locations.  Racing against local hoodlums to raise the money to save a children’s hospice which is due to be demolished by an evil property tycoon and drug baron.  There are various close shaves with plate glass movers and level crossings and there is also a sneaking underneath a moving lorry scene for the car chase enthusiast.  All cars explode upon contact with a stationary surface and the police car write-offs add up to about 30 per chase.

Post Box 2003 **

Charlie Sheen shows his acting abilities from inside a post box for the entire film in this Kafka-esque bizzario.  Matt Perricino, (Sheen) wakes up inside a Royal Mail post box without any idea how he has got there.  He receives a number of sinister phone calls advising that there is bomb inside the box with him and it will explode if he attempts to escape.  It is a race against time for him as the mailbox fills up with assorted post and suffocation approaches.

Distraction 2008
  *
Lewis Crabberger (John Travolta) plays an obsessive compulsive FBI agent with an amphetamine addiction in a confusing shambles of a movie.  Filmed from the perspective of a speed freak the plot is often hard to follow and changes direction frequently.  The film begins with a bomb alert at a children’s playground.  This is merely a distraction for a bank heist which is itself a distraction for a nuclear bomb theft.  This is also a distraction for the ultimate aim of the terrorists which is to kidnap the President of the United States of America.

Cats with Human  Fingers 1981 *
This video nasty was so bad, Mary Whitehouse was hospitalised for 8 days after  watching it.  Charles Bronson turned down the role and Patrick Swayze took up the chalice.  Although the scene where he eats his own brain was filmed with up to date plasticine technology, Swayze was awarded a Monster Oscar by Ultimate Horror Magazine.  The movie explores the terrifying prospect of cats that grow human fingers after becoming infected with the humongo virus.  Colt Bennet (Swayze) unkowingly brings the virus back to the U.S on the bottom of one of his trainers following an African jungle safari.
