The Cabin in the Woods: Always great! The Poughkeepsie Tapes: Had to download this one, on the grounds that they never released it. Not too bad of a film, but some parts are hard to see because of lighting. The Devil's Carnival: More for fans of musicals, not my cup of tea, but for fans of Repo! The Genetic Opera, you might enjoy this. Splinter: Actually a pretty cool movie! My one complaint though is that the camera moves too frantically when you see the monster. I mean you just wanna look at it and take it in, but it doesn't give you a chance |

Das Testament Des Dr.Mabuse: Very much enjoyed this also, simply stunning stuff from Lang (whose work's i'm gradualy opening up to more, might order M come payday). I hope I can make it a 3/3 by loving The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse, which i wonder if will be much different due to the time gap... Demdike@Cult Labs and Handyman Joe like this.

| Dredd I’ve not read any of the comics so can’t JUDGE it on that basis. But as a gritty sci-fi actioner I found it wholly entertaining. Comparisons with The Raid out of the way first: I enjoyed this more. While I found that film repetitive and soulless, the futuristic trappings and decent character work kept me engaged here. Good ‘world building’, had a pleasingly retro 1980’s vision of the future vibe with all the concrete and neon. The fun gimmicks like the slo-mo and psychic vision stopped it from becoming a monotonous shoot-em-up, and I liked the banter between Anderson and Dredd (Carl Urban doing a fun Clint Eastwood shtick). My only gripe would be the final act. Seemed to end with a bit of a whimper, would’ve liked a bigger showdown to finish on (were budget restraints maybe a factor there?). I hope I get the chance to see it in its 3D form, was a bit of a letdown when my telly told me it wasn’t compatible  . . .

I'm gonna watch my copy of From Beyond this afternoon, I haven't seen the film in a very long time so I'm looking forward to revisiting it after all this time

Right it's been way too long since I let you know what I've been watching (and I do tend to watch at least 2 films a day after work) so I'll give brief reviews for a select few Berberian Sound Studio - THE most incredible surround sound mix I've heard yet. To be honest the film was a little boring at times but the way the sound envelopes you I cannot help but want to watch it again soon just for the experience Holy Motors - Ummmmm yeah, okay..... ummmmmm  The Illusioniste (L'Illusioniste) - Fantastique animation film from the creator of Belleville Rendez-vous, made me laugh sooo much. I just loved it, shame the UK hasn't got a Blu-ray release. Another to add to my ever growing list of Blu's to buy when in Paris in a few weeks time. Superb! Untouchable (2011) - Hands down one of the funniest films I've ever seen. I think it may well hold a place in the top 10 best films I've had the pleasure to watch. LOVED IT! Dredd - Just brilliant, so much fun. 5 out of 5, another one added to my French 'To Buy' list EDIT: In case anyone is interested, my current list of Blu's to buy in France are Dredd 3D in tin case A Very Long Engagement L'Illusionniste / Les Triplettes de Belleville Boxset A History of Violence (supposedly has best PQ, no DNR)
