What Films Have You Seen Recently?

I watched Stephen Kings "Thinner" after seeing a few people posting about in on here.

Was a bit of a laugh for an hour and a half. Like a drawn out episode of Tales from the Crypt without the witty intro made by the crypt keeper. A stretched out episode though, not as good as the full Crypt movies.

Thinner is great! Saw it years ago with zero expectations and loved it - one of my favourite Stephen King adaptations. The Mafioso type that's in Godfather III is brilliant in it .

French Connection

Brilliant in its simplicity. One of those 70s NYC movies that captures the aesthetic and atmosphere so well you can't help being completely immersed.

Watched Cooties (2014, Millot/Murnion)
I laughed. Some bits drag, but on the whole a hoot. Equalling HalfLife for the worst first day at work, Elijah Wood and co have to survive the worst case of (pre) teen angst. Not the worst film I've seen.

[Make Them Die Slowly]

Mad Max: Fury Road

Shit blows up in futuristic Scrapheap Challenge.

TERROR CREATURES FROM THE GRAVE
Plague carriers and vengeance from beyond the grave are the main ingredients in this sometimes gruesome Italian horror from the 60s.
Severin's print, while perfectly watchable, is a little ropey on occasions ( there is severe print damage at one point ). However, if this is the only way of seeing films like these, then I'm perfectly ok with that. A nice remastered box set of Italian gothics would be neat.

LIVE LIKE A COP, DIE LIKE A MAN
A couple of hard hitting cops from the 'special force' are on the trail of a gambling den hood in this violent crime drama from 70s Italy, all wrapped up in Ruggero Deodato's dynamic direction.
Having seen this years ago on Raro's dvd, I can safely say 88s blu ray is a huge improvement - it looks fantastic.

I don't think it will be the same watching subtitled films whilst dry.



Two old favourites (Celine and Julie Go Boating (1974) & Les Diaboliques (1955)) and two new ones, A Tale of Springtime (1990) and Morgiana (1972) which is an absolute dark, vibrant, exciting gothic delight - highly recommended!

Scrapheap Challenge would of been a much better name for the film.

Fully agree, or possibly to the depths of Tales from the Darkside. Enjoyable but where's the beef?

I watched it recently, just last week, I didn't realise a few of us had but I'm guessing we all have Netflix!
