I'll admit, I don't usually post long reviews, but I do say whether or not I enjoyed the film or what the quality is like if it's a new transfer etc.

No, because you made comments Sawyer.

Besides, a picture paints a thousand words.

............................

I watched

Under Siege
High Sierra
His Girl Friday

Posts like the above aren't the slightest bit informative to other readers though, so in that respect are pointless.

It's nice to read a short comment/review but I don't always feel like writing a short comment/review so I end up posting only a fraction of what I watch here... ;)

Same, I don't think I've posted what I've watched for ages. My memory is so terrible I can't even remember what I've watched this last week and I just haven't felt up to posting just after I've watched something.

I mean how much is expected, an in-depth review? or just a few personal words?

Me too actually. :lol:

Me three ;)

Ditto. Plus, the more comments I make = the less time available to watch films (especially at the moment as I'm powering through a Halloween horror marathon).

Anyone is always welcome to ask about what I thought about any particular film I've posted here, though.

As much as you want to. Opinions are the reason forums work.

For the record i really like the title card posts made by Sawyer, Bizarre_eye and Kyle amongst others.

Although they may not say anything they actually tell us quite a lot about a film.

I agree, and if I could be arsed to do it myself, I would :lol:

:rolleyes:

:D

Most of the stuff I watch is on Blu Ray anyway so unless I have it on DVD too I can't do it

You can search for the pictures on Google

True :doh:
I've not even had a drink yet either :lol:

Tried to rewatch Pete Walker's The Comeback last night, but bloody work tiredness kicked in around the half hour mark and I was well asleep before the end. Still, at least I got to enjoy that fantastic opening kill :rockon: . . .

I've just added watching film #923 (including duplicates) and I've probably commented on half a dozen of them. It's a situation where I could put up a daily list and a few comments/short review because, by the end of the week, there'd be over 20 titles!

It would probably be quicker and easier to make a gallery each week and say something about that weeks viewing. Something for a New Year's resolution?

Yet more horror goodness...

SLIME CITY - Hugely enjoyable mid-eighties trash which features a young artist's descent into madness and a really bad complexion following seduction-by-gothic new nieghbour (said goth is reincarnated cult freak, so bad things bound to happen). I'm slightly jealous in a way, because nothing like that happened to me when I moved recently. I only mention this because one of the people I watched it with said, apropos of nothing, "This just wouldn't happen in Leeds" and then fell silent! (hopefully forever). Anyway, artist guy oozes slime, breaks up with girlfiend and finds himself in the iron grip of an insatiable lust to kill, so perhaps I'm not missing out on too much. It's great fun on a low, low budget and has a touch of Henenlotter about it as well as a nice, gross out climax.

FEMALE VAMPIRE. Some thoughts: birds tweet and crow, lounge music collides with end of the pier organ recitals, dream states and holiday villas, concussion, Lina's vagina is the gateway to Agartha.

It's been a strange day.

What films have you seen recently?

Nice to see a HK film making the list BE,although I'm not really a big fan of this one.
The mix of moving drama and over the top exploitation hysterics didn't really gel that well in this instance imho.

My old review

What were your thoughts? ;)

I've seen it before a long time ago, but didn't remember much about it. I found it very ott. Like you mentioned in your review, it starts off quite tame and even moving, but switches gears very quickly (almost to the extent that it seems like two different films spliced together), and results in a very manic viewing experience! Still enjoyable in parts, and certainly quite bizarre, but I can't see myself watching this again very soon!

Watched Halloween 4 on bluray last night. Not perfect but decent enough in terms of picture and sound. Checked out the extras after. Kathleen Kinmont was fun. Night of the living dead 90 bluray I watched after. Just atrocious. I can't say anymore. While I love the movie,it was let down by a horrible transfer. I hope TT do not release any more blu's if this is anything to go by. Prometheus lined up for tonight if I have my way. If the wife wins out,it'll be Piranha 3DD!

Some great gore effects and nice kill scenes. Rose Mcgowan , over the top gore, over the top action, Rose Mcgowan . Over all a very enjoyable film to just kick back and relax your brain too no thinking required.

How dose this look on Blu Ray or does it miss the point having it on Blu Ray considering how its shot just wondering what anyone who has this on Blu ray thinks.

Oh and did i mention Rose Mcgowan is in it.

The bluray looks good. There's a lot of artificial grain which was added in as an effect as it was shot digitally which took a while to get used to but it does look good. I do think Death Proof looked better on bluray because all of the degradation of the film was done physically and not digitally but Planet Terror still looks great

Cheers Paul i think ill pick up the double bill Blu Ray.:clap:

Darks Shadows











HaHa, and a comment:lol:

Did enjoy this film as I do all Tim Burton's. It was atmospheric and visually impressive. I found Johnny Depp's performance very good, but have to admit i like his acting in general so others may disagree.

Eragon on Film4, enjoyable enough fantasy film with Robert Carlyle, Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich and some kid I've never seen before or since. I wouldn't say I'd be in any rush to own this film, but I'd probably watch it again on the old tellybox.
Time for some Spider Pig action now with The Simpsons movie, for the umpteenth time!

You didn't pick up on the Star War's rip-off element's of Eragon? There so blatent!

Can't say I did no :lol:

Rented this from work last night. A little slow paced perhaps but I enjoyed it. Willem Defoe is fantastic in this film about a hunter in tazmania searching for the tazmanian tiger. It looks wonderful as well with some great cinematography.

I've ordered the BD of that. Very good movie, I enjoyed it.

Nice to see Sam neill on top form too....

Black God White Devil

A key film of Brazil's Cinema Novo movement, Glauber Rocha's 1964 film Black God White Devil follows the fortunes of a poor farmer who kills a cattle owner and goes on the run to hook up with a religious maniac and later a revolutionary bandit, all the while followed by hired gunman Antonio das Mortes... A ragged, feverish film Black God White Devil is a heady brew of mysticism, religion and politics played out against some of the driest scorched looking landscapes in Cinema, the story propelled along by a Greek chorus of fantastic Brazilian folk songs. The violence is often surprisingly sadistic - a baby stabbed to death on a sacrificial altar, a bride raped on her wedding day - and the film is outlandish enough to include a startling tip of the hat to Eisenstein's Odessa Steps. Rocha's film sits somewhere between Gospel According to Matthew, A Bullet For the General and El Topo, and if all that sounds intriguing, this is the film for you...

Best film of 2012 for me.

Oof, jumping the gun a bit there aren't you? I'll definitely be adding it to my rental list now though.

My best of 2012 is currently a battle between Holy Motors and Berberian Sound Studio. But still many more I need to fit in before the end of the year . . .

Spies Like Us (1985)

Sporadically funny cold war adventure starring Chevy Chase and Dan Ayckroyd, directed by John Landis. The laughs are thick and fast during the first half but come to a grinding halt after that as a plot about Russian nuclear missiles gets in the way.

The film has nice eye candy in the shapely forms of Donna Dixon and Vanessa Angel and Landis casts his mates Harryhausen, Gilliam, Oz and Apted in nice cameos, not to mention Bob Hope playing a swift round in the Afghan desert.

I've never seen this, but have wanted to ever since I saw the spoof Family Guy episode 'Spies Reminiscent of Us'.

I picked it up for 1p plus postage from Zoverstocks in a three disc set with Blazing Saddles and Best in Show.

I'd never seen Blazing Saddles or Spies before but enjoyed both.

If anyone can spot a connection to make these three a box set, then answers on a postcard to ....

cos' i damn well can't.

I did fully intend to include the phrase "so far", but clearly had some kind of brain fart! :D

It certainly edged out SNOWTOWN as best Australian film for sure.

Really looking forward to seeing Berberian sound studio, its almost criminal how difficult its been to see this film, Toby jones is a brilliant actor imo.
