We have a small local cinema that technically has 3 screens (one only has 16 seats and is used for private hires) built just after the First World War.

Kung Fu Hustle (2004)

Hong Kong kung fu movies meet Looney Tunes. One of silliest movies I've ever seen and one of the funniest.

To Live and Die in LA (1985) - I didn't realize William Friedkin directed this. It's above average for a mid 80's action movie, but obviously didn't have the kind of impact that 48 Hours or something did. William Peterson, later of CSI, wasn't the all time flashiest choice for the "plays by his own rules" cop protagonist. He's a decent actor, but that show was a better use of his limited skills. Cable, not the big screen, was the proper arena for this memorably titled bit of car chase mania.

Has anyone ever seen "T-Men", the film noir about the Treasury Department? I've somehow seen it a bunch of times. This is also about a counterfeit operation, which in 1985 seems kind of random. Why would you bother counterfeiting US currency when, post 1971 gold standard ending, there is so much of it out there? Just sell crack or something.

Willem Defoe is striking as always as the bad guy and the title, later imitated in the x rated feature "To Live and Shave in LA", is again, relatively memorable. There is plenty of brutal violence and seediness.

solid 4/5

Thankfully I'm in central South Africa so none of these are anywhere near me but they are frightening.

They have even shut down entrance to the Kruger National Park so that tells you how serious the situation is 

Man, teens can't even go to the park to get themselves killed by a guy ion a striped sweater.  That is bad.

Shouldn't have forgotten about LAST TEMPTATION, definitely one of the best Jesus movies, and one I own on Blu-ray.

Banned in South Africa sadly.

I have seen it and it was good.
