From pirates and Muay Thai islands to undercover Mounties and existential desert showdowns, these films swing wildly between sincerity, absurdity, and accidental philosophy.

Watching Blackout feels like déjà vu and disbelief. Amnesia, cartel shootouts in hospitals, Nolte rants, and logic-defying chaos — it’s like Die Hard in a hospital, if it were written by an AI trained only on old action flicks and tequila fumes.

Act of Murder (1964), a British Edgar Wallace B-movie, involves a romantic triangle and from the start the plot twists come thick and fast. A psychological thriller with lots of paranoia and a pleasingly hard-edged nasty streak. Great stuff.

"My friend, you have seen this incident based on sworn testimony. Can you prove that it didn't happen?..... " - Criswell Plan 9 from Outer Space

Yes I think I can prove it didn't happen, thou prove is a loaded word.

Wrong Number is a 1959 British heist thriller involving train and armoured car robberies and a beautiful, glamorous, sexy and dangerous woman. And of course phone calls. A neat plot, terrific acting, well executed heist sequences. Good stuff.

#Noirvember #filmnoir Assassin for Hire (1951) is a low-budget British crime thriller with a definite film noir flavour. Sydney Tafler is superb as a hitman with some depth and the plot has some nasty twists. An excellent well-crafted B noir.

So I watched #Plan9fromOuterSpace last night, a #Bmovie from 1959 by the legendary #EdWood. It was once voted “Worst Film Ever” and turned into a cult film decades later. It’s definitely worth the 80 minutes, ideally enjoyed with friends and lots of drinks… #movies

Piccadilly, a stylish 1929 British silent melodrama. Pretty Chinese girl Shosho gets her chance as a dancer and becomes the toast of the town. Pure romantic melodrama, let down by the ending. Anna May Wong gives her best performance as Shosho.

Terence Fisher's Kill Me Tomorrow (1957), an OK cheap crime B-movie about a hardbitten reporter who's wrecked his career with booze and self-pity. Now he has to convince the cops that he's a murderer. Lois Maxwell plays a feisty girl reporter.

Wrong Number (1959) is a 1959 British heist thriller. It has a neat little plot, terrific acting and just the right amount of humour. The vital clue is a phone call, a wrong number that might be unlucky for the thieves. A good solid B-movie.

Ricochet (1963) is one of the many Edgar Wallace crime thrillers from England’s Merton Park Studios and it's a typical entry in that cycle. In other words it’s an excellent little B-movie. A solicitor decides to blackmail his own wife.
