I watched Dirty Dozen: The Deadly Mission tonight an enjoyable if largely derivative made for TV sequel to the original. The film misses Lee Marvin, who is replaced by Telly Savalas' Major Right. Its not clear if he is supposed to be the same character (its a different name, but he mentions that he has previously led two previous "dozen" missions. The German blu-ray has an English language soundtrack and is presented in the original 1.33:1 ratio. I have The Fatal mission queued up next

Double bill of:

Oz: The Great steaming pile of wank....wait. Oh dear god this was bad, just exruciating for 99%* of the time. Avoid, just avoid. 'Shudder'

Thankfully...

Maniac (2013) Faired FAR better. What a truely great take on a classic horror film, one of the greats in fact. Recomended.




*The remaining 1% comprised Bruce Campbell's cameo(s) and the single minuet of Evil Dead homage...really, in a PG movie.

Just finished watching Eyes Wide Shut, re-affirms Kubrick's sublime film making, as if it needed a reminder. It's funny that a film that lasts 2hrs 40mins where not a lot actually happens can keep you glued to the screen for its entire duration.
I didn't enjoy it as much 12 years ago when I rented it, but I think I was just too young to appreciate it. It is most definitely a grown up film.

Wrong Turn 3
Wrong Turn 4
Wrong Turn 5
I must say I think Wrong Turn 5 has a great performance from Doug Bradley playing a right bastard (again) and I hope if they make a 6 they bring him back.

Happy Birthday to Me

How has this not been remade? I would have thought it's contrived/Scooby Doo like plot would make it ripe for the modern slasher film.


Jaws 2

The Horror is far from over! Fours years after the great white shark terrorized the small resort of Amity, unsuspecting vacationers begin disappearing in an all too - familiar fashion. Only one mans knows the truth...

Now tell me that doesn't sound like your average slasher film. (Esp with it's focus on isolated teens.) Anyway a couple of scenes still have the power to make you jump!

Heavy snow again this morning here in Bremen so another Saturday warming my hands over my blu-ray player. So far I watched Dirty Dozen: The Fatal Mission, the third and final T.V. sequel. I enjoyed it, surprisingly I didn't recall the fact that one of the dozen was a woman this time round, or perhaps I didn't see it before.

I also watched The Corridor which makes good use its sound design to create a real feeling of unease. I saw this at Toronto After Dark in 2011, so you can find more of my thoughts about the film over on my Diary thread.
