Film 202/365, Day 216/365 – Femme Fatale

A twisty turvy thriller from Brian De Palma.  The story isn’t bad, it does enough to keep you watching, but not quite enough to really grab you.  The single best thing about this film is Rebecca Romijn, ding dong!!!  If I was rating Rebecca it would be five stars, this film however only gets three.  Not bad, but not brilliant.

Synopsis:  Laurie, a diamond thief that double crossed the team she was working with, is mistaken for a lady who has just lost her husband and child.  She assumes the identity of the lady and disappears to America.  Seven years later she is forced to return to France her old team are still looking for her. 

Film 160/365, Day 167/365 – The Horde

Simple story, well executed.  It’s the best way to make a zombie film, in my opinion, don’t try to tell us how it’s happened or make lots of silly attempts to cure it.  It should just be a group of people, who usually don’t get along, trying to get out alive.  Simple but very effective.

Synopsis:  A group of cops go into a derelict tower block to avenge a fallen colleague.  Whilst there things don’t quite as planned and the criminals and cops must now work together if they are going to survive the endless horde of zombies.
