Quatermass And The Pit Anybody given the Blu Ray a go? I gather the picture quality is fairly stunning and wondered if anybody's viewed it yet? |
Finally watched Inferno.The expectations were high and I wasn't disappointed at all.A scale below Suspiria but earns a lot of points on the fact that everything is unexpected in the movie,Argento really plays with the viewer and nothing ends the way it should end .Also, two thumbs up for the incredible architecture of the building:clap: |
Watched De Palma's Phantom of the Paradise (1974) yesterday for the first time ever,does anybody know this is the reason why Jessica Harper ended up in Suspiria? Did Argento go to see this one and was impressed? I was to be honest... :) Btw how did this get a PG rating? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n5qVJEg3qA |
Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's Der letzte Mann aka The Last Laugh. Excellent silent drama from 1924. Jannings is mesmerising as the old bell boy who gets degraded to the lowest rank in a big hotel, just because of one second of relaxation. Highly impressive cinematography by Karl Freund, including POV- and dolly shots. One pre-title, and one inter-title - that's all the text you get in this real "silent" movie, but believe me: this impressive and compelling film needs no lines to win you over. :nod: http://www.tagblatt.de/cms_media/mod...letztemann.jpg The Eureka release from 2008 ("Masters of Cinema") is highly recommended. It contains a re-recording of the original score by Giuseppe Becce and has an excellent picture quality. Greetings! PS: Edgar G.Ulmer, the director of 1934's excellent The Black Cat, was assistant director! :) |

Faccia a Faccia - amazing film and a great presentation from Eureka - this goes straight into my top 5 Spaghetti Westerns :nod:. Fantastic performances from Milian and Volonte and one of Morricone's better scores, coupled with an involving storyline, make this a winner in my opinion! Well recommended! |

okay list of Films viewed this week if memory serves me correct.... Retreat: great mash up of Straw Dogs and Right At Your Door with a brilliant performance from Jamie Bell, Highly Recommended. Full Metal Jacket: what is there to say about this that hasn't been said so many times before, just stunning. Bride Of Chucky: Darkly comic horror made all the more better by Brad Dorif's delivery of the lines. Suffer's from mid to late 90s Final Destination FX unfortunately. Jason Goes To Hell: Gory fun with Jason, much the same as previous entries but fun none the less. Grease 2: wanted something cheesy to watch and decided on this as it was in front of me. Great Soundtrack and Michelle Pfieffer is Yum. It's A Very Mery Muppet Christmas Movie: in preparation for the upcoming movie event of the Year, this muppet retelling of It's a Wonderful life is full of great one liners, Sight Gags and Cameos. I love the Muppets. |

OK, just watched Salo (or the 120 Days of Sodom) and er...yeah... What a demented, yet bewitching, film that is, I haven't quite digested (ew) it all properly yet! Forest Gump sums it up best when he says "that's all I have to say about that" |
