It was lost a bit in the Xmas rush but a truly essential purchase is the Third Windows blu of the 2 Tetsuo films. I watched them last night for the first time in about 20 years (sob, I'II be dead soon) and if anything they're even freakier than I remember them. The first, Iron Man, is beyond my powers to describe, just a blast of sheer insanity - they sure don't make em like that anymore. That last image of the cyber things hurtling down the street refuses to leave my brain - its essentially meaningless, even silly, but its so full of power and evil intent you think, there must be something here, some meaning, surely... Body Hammer feels a bit more locatable in the universe - there's bits of The Terminator, Robocop, The Incredible Hulk, the end of Cronenbergs Fly, but its still utterly batshit - again this last image of a human tank rumbling down the street. These films capture the late 80s/early 90s like no others and still seem futuristic. Here's a great freakout triple bill to scare auntie - Begotten (the far past), Eraserhead (alternate present) and Iron Man (some screwed up future) - try getting out of that lot with sanity intact!

 I got a massive Tom and Jerry box set for Christmas!  It's not a bad movie - plus Droppy Dog is in it. Hell yeaaaah! I was surprised it stared Michael York and Malcolm McDowell though.There you go Cult Labs! Tom and Jerry Meets Sherlock Holmes is Michael York's return to the giallo. trebor8273 and Hawkmonger like this.

About to watch waxwork with all the talk about cartoon animals and Sherlock Holmes to keep in spirt of things might watch Sherlock hound some of the episodes directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Starting to watch deep red but don't know as I have never seen it if I should of watched the international cut instead of the directors cut which is the one I'm watching Hawkmonger and ArgentoFan1987 like this.

The Dalton Bonds are great, in some respects the darker more brutal tone was ahead of its time (cf. Casino Royale, Quantumn of Solace and Skyfall) and perhaps ahead of its audience. Tonights film was The Spy Who Loved Me (which I like). trebor8273 and ArgentoFan1987 like this. Last edited by SShaw; 17th January 2013 at 08:10 PM. |

We watched 'The Awakening' (2011) last night. Really, really wanted to like it, but it just wouldn't let me! Have 'The Woman in Black' on its way to me, so maybe that will be more satisfying.

The 1907 version isn't a very good copy and it isn't clear what's going on. A lot of the story is missing and it has nowhere near the spectacle of the 1925/1959 versions. It lasts for about 11 minutes in it's current form.

The Mist (2007) I enjoyed this Stephen King adaptation quite a bit, but, man, what a bleak ending! I saw it via Netflix but I'd probably buy it on Blu, if I saw it cheap enough.
