What Films Have You Seen Recently?

I don't want to pick fault with your score system Troggi but to newcomers 8/10 would appear as if you really liked this movie a lot.
8 for me is really very good. 9 almost perfect, 10 perfect (almost unheard of.)
Personally i like your rating system, your'e a renegade agent of chaos.

To me, this was like travelling back in time to meet my younger self and my mystical path to discovering the punk rocker within, who is an attitude not a hair cut.

Fascinating stuff... Funnily enough I was only thinking of American punks yesterday when I came across something about Penelope Spheeris' Surburbia, a film I haven't seen since the video days...

I rewatched SURBURBIA a few years ago, it is much more of an exploitation film than I remembered. I'd like to see a British punk film full of glue sniffing, smack, speed and violence, set in the 80s when it became a movement of the people. Sadly, it will never happen as the media can't see past art school punk rock as the BBC's recent reshowing off PUNK BRITAINIA proved. It is a sad day when the only person in a documentary you agree with is Gary Bushell.

Yep, I hear you, and Bushell's comments were perceptive. I loved that footage of an emotionally exhausted Jimmy Pursey caught in the maelstrom of punks and NF'ers... I gotta say though my allegiance was always with Wire rather than The Clash, but I'd love too see that film too...

Apparently no.4 is actually going to be Army of Darkness 2, followed by another sequel tying the Raimi/Campbell films in with the remakes.

Army of Darkness... the only film where I witnessed the audience up and leave in their droves, leaving only me and my slightly disgruntled buddy behind...

If you watch the remake you notice little things from the originals like ashs car etc. but why is he's car even there didn't it get sucked into the vortex at the end of two and he converted it into a deadite killing machine.

The footage of Pursey is fantastic. I've never got into the arty side of British punk. By the time I got into arty type stuff I got lost in American pre-grunge noise and never looked back to some of the British stuff that was an influence on it.

Surely that would mean it would be set in either ruined London of the future or modern day.
Unless Ash isn't in it, (i always preferred the bleaker ending myself). I don't really mind as long as they pull their fingers out and get on with it.

I wish I had had the sense to walk out and on EDII as well. I know that there is a lot of love for these two films here but they are bloody awful. Most people I've seen leave a film showing was MEET THE FEEBLES on it's original release.
