It has to be said by the way, that the Eureka release of Fright Night is pretty amazing and worth a go

I bought a cheap Samsung blu-ray player from Tesco (£ 39?) last year. The up-scaling on my dvds is noticeable even to my limited optical faculties. I still buy dvds almost exclusively and am happy with the improvement i have with the ultra cheap set-up. A proper filmy would likely scoff at my tv and player, but it works for me.

Ahem.I also perused Mike Nichols' Catch 22 (1970) earlier. Always remembered that it was the Heller novel that first made me laugh out loud whilst reading a book. So the film, which I caught late night on BBC1 finally, did at least contain the part I chortled at ... but the structure caught me napping ...callow 12 year old and that .... Watching it now, I see something of how Hollywood was also caught napping by a fresher perspective ... whilst it paradoxically is the last great studio picture of that period. I digress. It's better than M*A*S*H imo. Or In an attempt to escape the madness of war ... a man is declared sane enough to fight on ...Alan Arkin plays the everyman in this rather ribald satire. Since no one will ever film the 3rd volume of Spike Milligan's war memoirs ... this will suffice as best world war II comedy

Restless tonight Jess' radiant sleaze just not hitting the spot etc ...  Ho hum Blue Velvet it is then ..... "It's a strange world ..." When Jeffrey finds an mutliated ear on the way home one day, he begins a jouney right into the darkest shadow cast over his whitest-white bread town. Far more structured than the films that followed it ...but looks aren't everything Still as disturbing as it ever was. The shitey 'erotic' thrillers that trailed in its wake only serve to strengthen it. It pretends to be Sirk at the start, lulling you into a sense of unease (this IS Lynch after all...) then turns into a very vivid look underneath Suburbia's wingtip. Plus he steals Hitchcock's greatest trick Less & more mental than you remember ....
