Watched the BBC adaption of Dracula yesterday starring Louis Jourdan and Frank Finlay. This is one of my favourite versions of the age old story, but the barebones DVD isn't up to much, really poor quality for the outdoor scenes and not much better for the scenes on the cardboard BBC sets, shame really because this is one of the more faithful adaptions of Stoker's classic novel |
THE VINEYARD. Utterly crazed, mad doctor seeks eternal youth flick. It's a weird jumble of 80s US, anything goes, horror and Hong Kong supernatural/black magic horror, which positively throbs with a mutant libido. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if a drugged up James Hong who wrote the script and directed it, was in some kind of psychic contact with his penis throughout the whole process. Highly recommended. |
And old film (1994) but ive been watching Clerks and I know my friend hates it for some reason but I love it. Its the type of thing that i'd do if I worked in a convienice store. I also think the b&w visuals work for it. I don't know what the PQ of the blu is like but im thinking of buying it |

Last night I watched the French thriller En Face, starring Jean Hugues-Anglade, the utterly bewitching Clotilde Courau and Christine Boisson who I remember from Emmanuelle. It is a film that has been on my radar for years, and I finally picked up the DVD as part of a bundle from a French seller on Ebay a short while ago. I enjoyed the film, which has many twists and turns, is well shot, features a great cast and has a great sense of erotic menace. The French DVD features optional English subtitles, a good quality anamorphic transfer and a number of interesting special features. Before watching En Face I watched Cloverfield on TV. I remember the film coming out at the time and almost went to the cinema to see it because of the involvement of J.J. Abrams who produced the TV drama Lost, which I used to watch with my ex-girlfriend. I have to say that I was very impressed indeed. I really enjoyed the hand-held faux documentary concept of the film, thought the set design was fantastic, the special effects worked well and the sense of dread and powerlessness was very pervasive. I recently watched the Female Prisoner Scorpion #701 quadrilogy. I had seen the first couple of films once before but I'd never previously seen the third and fourth films. In short they are very well scripted, exciting, sleazy, wonderfully shot and inventive exploitation films. In a sense referring to them as exploitation does them a disservice because they are genuinely well made and interesting films. Meiko Kaji's performance as the wronged woman looking to survive and kept going by her desire for revenge is first-rate. She is a very attractive lass as well! |

I have the first series of Twin Peaks and enjoyed it alot but never bothered with the second series yet. Strange really as i like Fire Walk with Me immensely. |
Well, FWWM has certainly taken the mystery of out of Series 2, haha. |
Yeah, seeing Fire Walk with Me before watching the first two seasons of Twin Peaks is definitely not the way to go as it takes all of the mystery and intrigue out of series one and the first half of the second series! |
