Movie #30 of 2024: Hawk the Slayer

The story is ludicrous but editor Eric Boyd-Perkins bends time, warps flat performances (Jack Palance being the exception of course), motivates the use of heavy fishnet over lens diffused lighting, and composites charmingly practical vfx to lift this 1980 fantasy film to sublime levels of cinema you might not expect.

Prisoners of the Lost Universe (1983)

My rating: 6/10

A weird beast, somewhere between wacky parody and shameless rip-off of Flash Gordon, but pretty entertaining - lots of people in weird costumes doing vaguely swashbuckly things, cartoon sound effects, and general shenanigans, and of course John Saxon hasn't met a piece of scenery that wasn't absolutely delicious to him.
