Dredd-After the 4th attempt, I managed to make it to the end and although not completely blown away, I did enjoy it, at least I managed to stay awake, unlike when I saw Judge Dredd at the cinema back in the day.So, there you go Hawk, no reason to kill me anymore
I'll probably add it to my collection if I find it cheap

The LAST STAND.

This got a critical drubbing so I went in with low expectations....


AND REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY enjoyed my self immensly.

Its daft, arnies acting is as ropey as ever but its a gunuinely fun film with plenty of chuckles, a fair bit of violence and daft stunts and its very well photographed and the action scenes and gunplay are well handled.

It actually kind of stinks that this didn't get a better reception.

Trinity (Titoli) (Annibale E I Cantori Moderni) - YouTube

05. "His Name Was King" - Luis Bacalov DJANGO UNCHAINED SOUNDTRACK [HD] - YouTube

Another great song, not from a western, but The Last American Hero...

10 I Got a Name 'Django Unchained' Soundtrack - YouTube

If I remember correctly, during the raid scene, as they're riding down the hill, the Battle Royale theme starts playing.

Berberian Sound Studio (2012) Peter Strickland
The second time I've watched this, and I will watch it again. It is a great film about the genre I love so much. The idea behind this film is very original, and that, and the way it is executed, makes it good film. Toby Jones plays an unforgettable character. He will stick with you for a long time.
Strickland mentions Herz's The Cremator as one of the main influences for this film. To be honest, I don't really see this influence in Berberian Sound Studio. The Cremator is a masterpiece still after 40 years or so. But Berberian is a great film nonetheless.

American Mary (2012) Soska Sisters
American Mary proves that (real) horror films aren't dead yet. Liked it very much. Shot in 15 days with a limited budget, but much better than the stuff that is oozing from your screen nowadays.

Another weird day....a lotta films I have my best friend hasn't seen, so it's more for her to see

The Last Unicorn: Beautiful, I'm still such a sucker for animation. I love it.

Hostel 1 and 2: Had a huge discussion about how ungodly terrible the third movie was afterwards

Army of Darkness: BECAUSE!

Femina Ridens (AKA The Frightened/ Laughing Woman-Piero Schivazappa-1969): this one should take no introduction. A deeply unnerving, strange film with an amazing atmosphere and amongst the best cinematography i've seen from a 60's soft core film (though it's a stretch to call it even that, it's a bit of a genre bender). A must for any self enfused art house chump.

not a film but been watching some mash, like how you have a audio track without the god awful laugh track which really doesn't suit mash.
