Quickly watched The Other Side Of The Wall documentary which is an extra on the Possession disc I picked up today.

An insightful look at a truly unique film, although Daniel Bird's monotonous narration was a bit myeh at first, but it grew on me, particularly when he swears - I never fail to smirk when academics have to quote their subjects :lol:
I particularly enjoyed the bit when Zulawski 'claims' to forget the name of Wajda's Palme D'Or winning Man Of Iron (which beat Possession in 1981 - although Adjani won best actress):
"Man of... er.... (to the interviewer) what was it? Iron?" - Priceless :nod:

Saw Watch me when I kill (aka The cat's victims) - I really, really liked this one - it had a strong lead, terrific soundtrack and some great kills. An underrated giallo.

I watched this yesterday too, after having bought the dvd months ago. I second everything you say, especially the soundtrack - very Goblin-lite but in a good way!

I had it lying around for a few months too :lol:

I don't know why but somehow I had to immediately re-watch it after the first viewing - I don't do that very often (occasionally I may re-watch within a few days or weeks), but it really made an impact on me.

I remember when I first saw the Shameless trailer for it - it looked quite terrifying with the kills featuring prominently. It actually made me want to wait a bit before getting it. With hindsight, even though it was a brilliantly made trailer, I think Shameless should have gone with the International trailer to promote it - it gives away a lot less.

Loved the Bido interview - really informative and you could tell that he was passionate about his work. Will watch the Wilson Bros fact track in a few days.

Otherwise, a magnificent job from Shameless :clap:

Will get the Bloodstained shadow at some point in the future.

It's been ages since I saw Watch Me When I Kill and his thread makes me want to watch it again, and soon!

Watched/listened to the commentary of The Hidden last night.

Inexplicably Jack Sholder is accompanied by a not very talkative Tim River's Edge Hunter.
Sholder isn't exactly a raconteur and he sometimes sounds a little condescending towards the audience, but there were some pretty interesting anecdotes and he didn't pull any punches when discussing the less talented actors who were involved.
It was pretty cool watching the film after so many years and I think it holds up really well, particularly the first alien transfer effect.
So with Tim Hunter on the commentary, Kyle Maclachlan in a key role and Chris Mulkey as one of the early antagonists it was somewhat of a Twin Peaks who's who, before that show even existed!

Watch Me When I Kill is one of the best flicks ever released by Shameless. A classic giallo! :nod:

Greetings!

Agreed, I have it as THE CAT'S VICTIMS, will upgrade to Shameless soon, when there's a break in their releases, too much good stuff keeps coming out, damn their good taste.

Red State. saw this under the impression that it was Smith's take on horror, ahem, never believe what you read it seems, nevertheless it was certainly something different from silent bob, mates loathed it for unknown reasons, ie 3 minutes into it he was moaning (hmm). i can see why its been slated in US though.....surprise of the week!!

Horrible Bosses....hahahaha i liked it, bit formulaic, and Spacey on "loathsome" autopilot but despite that, laughed a lot and thats what you want from a comedy surely.

also watched Charlie Sheen's "roast", really to see if any of them had the gumption to take this piss out of the Guinea Pig debacle, but sadly not, best one ive seen yet though....

Cannibal Ferox..what can i say about this that hasnt already been said? thought i had let it slip pass me at the time, but the iguana incident gave me deja vu so hmmm, brutal brutal film, the ultimate "they deserve what they get " scenario IMO.

Norwegian Ninja tonight wheee!

Cat O' Nine Tails
No doubt this will get mixed reviews but I thought it looked great. Not my favourite Argento, but a nice addition to the Arrow collection.

Late 60s hippy / druggie flick from BFI starring Mimsy Farmer. Good film and a great ( if underused ) soundtrack from the Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd. Excellent pq.
