Dallas-Buyers-Club-Feature.jpg Set during the AIDS outbreak in the 80s Dallas Buyers Club tells the story of Ron Woodroof ( Matthew McConaughey ) an Electrician and rodeo bull rider. After an accident at work Ron wakes up in hospital where doctors inform him he has tested positive for the AIDS virus and even more shocking is that he only has 30 days to live. At first Ron being a homophobic racist alcohol womanising drug abuser refuses to accept the news because only gays get AIDS. When all his friends turn on him he is left alone to confront his own mortality and to search for anything that will keep him alive. Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto are nothing short of amazing first off the crazy weight loss which especially with McConaughey is often frightening many time throughout the film i forgot it was even him until he spoke. Jared Leto plays gay cross dresser and drug addict Rayon who becomes business partners with Ron to bring drugs to other AIDS victims in Dallas. The partnership between both characters is often very funny with Rons homophobia making for some very uncomfortable scenes. Dallas Buyer Club is dark, gritty, sometimes funny and very moving. It really is a must watch both actors give the performances of their lives to bring this story to life and both deserve all the praise and rewards they got for this film.

Well last night I got around to watching the Aussie Blu of The Burning. I've seen the film numourous times as I'm sure have many people on here but the Aussie disc is really nice, strong colours and detail. Well as much detail as an 80's slasher film can have. I think the transfer is the same as used on the US disc, I got it fairly cheaply from fishpond which I would certainly use again.

Reel Evil (2012) Three struggling filmmakers finally catch the break they were looking for when they are hired to shoot a 'behind-the-scenes' documentary for a major studio production - a horror film set in an abandoned hospital. The movie begins quite well with a couple of rewarding blink and you'll miss em' spook appearances and then it's all pretty much forgotten as we get to know the cast and a haze of foggy boredom envelops all. What makes it worse is that nothing remotely interesting actually happens to our intrepid extra features crew until the last few minutes as we are subjected to endless hackneyed shaky-cam wanderings down green tinted corridors for what seems eternity. The occasional close up of a naked breast in no way makes up for the rest of the tedious non-events this film has to offer. I had to smile because the whole film was summed up in just two lines of dialogue. One actress on the main movie says "Is everyone in this film a dick?" and a second character suggests "This is shit". Dreadful. |
