What Films Have You Seen Recently?

Watched Braindead last night. Actually quite charming.
Very funny, especially anything involving the Priest, "I kick arse for the lord!!!", and the bits with the baby, especially the park bit.
Felt a bit slow and annoying at times, but paid off in the last 30 minutes, which you could almost call Tomato Paste: The Movie.
May get the blu ray eventually, but really want to see the 104 min theatrical cut.
Final opinion, great fun film, but I almost enjoyed Bad Taste more.

Depressing shite.
Don't bother.

I love this alternate poster for the film:

I thought it had some genuinely effective moments but, overall, it's an extremely intelligent film by people who know and love horror addressing the audience with a smart commentary on viewership. It basically says 'When you watch a horror film you want to see good-looking people in their teens and 20s being horribly slaughtered and some naked female flesh' with a device making the film-within-a-film reflect the audience's desires.

I'll definitely buy when it's out and wouldn't be surprised if it forms the basis of a film studies MA dissertation or is prominently featured in part of a Ph.D. thesis in the near future.

Had another go at watching Murder Set Pieces last night and it was still as bigger pile of crap as i remembered from last time.
Truely awful. And a dreadful transfer as well.
Give me Fulci's New York Ripper any day!

CARNIVAL OF FEAR - Otherwise knwn as 'Closed for the Season'. Similar to my recent experience with 'The Vineyard' in that I felt stranded in someone else's dream, though less the sort of dream that impresses with its florid wierdness, more the common or garden kind which suffocates with a dull, rambling disconnectedness... I'm enough of a cine-masochist to actually be into this kind of hypnagogic lameness, and felt there were some OK bits of imagery scattered here and there, but the clown thing... guys, if you want to show us a sinister clown, then do something more than just show a clown being a bit sinister, if you know what I mean. For those misguided enough to potentially want to see this disjointed alternative to zolpidem, the plot concerns two twentysomethings searching for the roots of their childhood fairground-based trauma, and unfolds as a series of dream within a dream within a "Hey, did you just dream that?" type scenarios which quickly become annoying. A sinister clown guides them along to the baffling and not very interesting end. I'm dissing it, but something made me stick with it, and, although I didn't really enjoy it I guess I'm in a minority in saying I found it somehow likeable.

Wouldn't say awful.....but it wasn't great. I would have liked to have seen the film directed by Guillermo del Toro or Tim Burton

The movie was just to much like a cheap Twilight cash in for my licking.
And when you attempt to be the next Twilight, you dont asspire very high.
Your right though, Del Toro could have made it surprisingly refreshing, but alas.

Watched Rodriguez's Roadracers. Really enjoyed it, being a fan of both low-budget films and rockabilly.
