"Snakes and Ladders"
FYC: "Snakes and Ladders" - Child-friendly action-adventure movie based on the English version of the classic board-game, with lashings of allegory about the American political system and the influence of the Tea Party on Republican policy. Originally slated as a Michael Bay project, the studio realised it could hire Tim Robbins to helm much cheaper, due to his outstanding financial obligation to Susan Sarandon to buy out her share of the old family summer cottage which became his home after their split. Starring Harvey Keitel as the snake and Vin Diesel as the wooden ladder.

"War Whores"
FYC: "War Whores" - Yu Hyun-mok's moving account of the rise and fall of a Parisian sex worker during World War 1, and her repeatedly shattered dream of merely being abused and exploited for the sexual gratification of unpleasant men, like the rest of the prostitutes, instead of being literally and figuratively fucked with a sinister ulterior motive. All the while her little brother follows her through France, desperately trying to rescue her from the horrors of prositution and war.
First she is used to settle a dispute between her father and the town pimp, and once she has escaped his clutches and found a life of courtesanship in Paris, she finds herself enveloped in the intrigues of the French political scene whilst working at Le Chabanais. Then she is purchased by the invading German generals, upon whom, for patriotic reasons, she spies, aiding the British with intelligence on troop mvements.
She soon becomes aware of 'troop movements' of a different sort when the British renege on their deal of repatriating her and setting her up with a new life, and she is reduced to being a street walker near the front. There she contracts syphillis, but still manages to find employment as a walking disease-bag for British and American serviceman who wish to incapacitate themselves from action and be sent home on medical leave.
The film climaxes when she unwittingly sleeps with her brother for a pair of nylons, and out of shame they enter a suicide pact. As they kill themselves on the day of the liberation of France the radio plays La Marseillaise and the camera zooms in slowly on an American propaganda poster emblazoned with the slogan: “You wouldn’t use another fellow’s tooth-brush, so why use his whore?”. The ultimate date movie.

"Agatha Christie's 'Thirteen Shuriken' "
FYC: "Agatha Christie's 'Thirteen Shuriken' " - Genteel Edwardian detective drama with splashes of 'Kill Bill' in this adaptation of a classic, one of the few stories in which Poirot and Miss Marple both appear, and compete to solve the corpse-riddled riddle. Thirteen English industrialists, together with their friends and staff, gather in a country house in 1919 to decide who will get the lucrative contract for the mustard gas for Churchill's planned genocide against the Kurds. But one by one they are brutally murdered, each by a different, old-school Oriental method, leaving no clues as to the assailant's identity other than an engraved shuriken embedded in their foreheads. It appears that there is a Ninja with a grudge amongst the visitors to Blethien Manor, but who could it be, and can the two amateur sleuths stop him (or could it be... her?) before there is no one left to profit by helping murder the sand-niggers? Includes steamy sleuth-on-sleuth octogenarian sex and Miss Marple's famous Katana duel with the Ninja.

"Woody Allen's 'Tranny Granny' "
FYC: "Woody Allen's 'Tranny Granny' " - The Manhattan mirth-meister's hard-core pornographic semi-autobiographical re-imagineering of Robin Williams classic "Mrs Doubtfire", in which Allen plays a perverted film director, Buddy, suffering from sexual frustration as his shrew-like wife's divorce proceedings deny him the chance to fuck his adopted children. But there are chuckles a-plenty when Buddy disguises himself as a kindly, matronly nanny so that he can continue to pseudo-paedo-incestuously diddle his kids over the holiday season, under the very noses of his embittered wife and a callous judicial system. A festive Christmas treat for the whole family. Includes the classic lines "Don't touch her dreidel!" and "Isn't Rufinol traditional for Hannukah latkes?"

608 State: Mozart Whores It To The Robots
FYC: "608 State: Mozart Whores It To The Robots" - Michael Bay's action packed prequel to Amadeus in which the musical prodigy, having had to squander his annual income on a syphillis treatment, is forced to combine two fantasias into one for Mr Muller's mechanical musical robots in return for the payment of his gambling debts. But little do they know that a music-hating time-traveller has returned from the future and is sabotaging Mozart's manuscripts on their way to Muller's gallery, introducing complex viruses that make the robots churn out Coldplay and go on a killing spree in Vienna. Mozart is blamed for the 'daemoniac' music until the time-traveller's true nature is revealed... but it turns out that he is the descendant of the man killed by Muller in a duel, when he was living under his real name of Count Deym von Stritez, and there is a death penalty hanging over Mozart's benefactor!
