Dead End- is a funny movie, i dont think it was meant to be funny, but some of the comedy comes out of nowhere. Its a excellent horror movie as well.

The Plot: When a family en route to a Christmas Eve gathering decides to takes a shortcut down a wooded road, an eerie sequence of events signals trouble ahead. After nearly colliding with an oncoming car, father Frank (Ray Wise) picks up a ghostly hitchhiker (Amber Smith) and her infant child. With the sudden appearance of their new passengers, the route becomes dark and treacherous -- and the family's numbers rapidly begin to dwindle in a series of seemingly connected, grisly roadside accidents.

Its a excellent horror flick.

I like road trip films. Spot on review. First time I watched it, it came on like a fever dream and although not a perfect film by any standards, it did pull me in. Repeated viewings have been just as enjoyable. Certainly better than most of the pish that was around at this time. At least it tries to do something different.

A thoughtful depiction of the travails of the struggling entrepreneur. Stan and Ollie have the bright idea of buying their own boat to make their fish-selling business more profitable; buying the boat from a junkyard and renovating it themselves are possibly less bright.

The usual mixture of ritualistic tit-for-tat squabbling, spectacular catastrophes which anyone but the boys themselves can see coming, and Ollie doing those looks to camera after he's the victim of one of Stan's mistakes. The big man is definitely more sinned against than sinning in this one, as Stan manages to drop the anchor through the bottom of the boat and nearly saws his own head off; Ollie resorts to literally tying him up to avoid further accidents. No real plot worth mentioning, but joyous stuff regardless.

A Grim Almanac of Norfolk

Written in almanac form  'A Grim Almanac of Norfolk 'covers over 300 hundred years of Norfolk history. There is a story for everyday of the year and is accompanied by many black and white illustrations. Naming just a few you can find tales of  bizarre accidents, smuggling, body snatching ,murder and much more. Because of the style of writing it is easy to dip in and out of with no need to read from front to back. The book is well presented and must have taken the author many hours of research to complete the book , I am enjoying reading the book and those with an interest in social history will find it interesting , however some people may find it repetitive as the book has a running theme.
