I did struggle to get to sleep when I was younger too but late teens and early twenties I slept an awful lot, possibly thanks to the booze! But I best attempt to go back on topic :o, I find it a struggle to actually concentrate on watching things but tonight I do plan to watch.

3 Attachment(s) They (Umbrella) also did a two disc collectors edition, on DVD. Worth having for the packaging. |
That DVD package looks very nice indeed :) The BD cover is ruined that ratings logo, is it a sticker or part of the cover? God knows why it needs to be so big - almost as bad as the German ones. |

And retailers wonder why we don't buy local :rolleyes: |
Yeah, printed on the cover. A slipcover would have been nice, with no rating on it. |

EMI hated the picture and put it out on a limited run as support with Tower Of Evil in the U.K. |
Aerobicde DVD Mine has really bad audio too. So did my copy of Madhouse but I got the USA DVD and its now fine. Are there any other releases of Arobicide I could get. |
1 Attachment(s) American Mary (2012) A truly original modern horror film, superbly acted by Katherine Isabelle. The film concerning illegal body modification had a fantastic concept and set up for the first hour. Unfortunately it seemed to lose its way for me and it began to dawn on me the film, whilst very stylish and beautifully filmed didn't really have much of a story to it. The Soska Sisters who directed, give us a teriffic build up and some great characters, especially the owner of the strip club and then fails to explore them properly. It would have been great to see more of Mary's career as a freelance mob torturer. Don't be put off though, the opening hour is the best piece of horror cinema i've seen in years. It didn't go full out body horror either, i was expecting full on graphic modifications simillar to Dee Snider's Strangeland but the directors wimped out rather than going for the full shocks. However despite these niggles i really enjoyed American Mary, proof that the true horror genre is alive and kicking in 2013. |
I've watched loads of films recently, as always, but the only one I haven't either seen or posted about before is a film called Dead Cert (2010) that was part of a prize bundle I won on here. http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...100_SY140_.jpg From IMDb: A gang of tough London gangsters get more than they bargained for when a group of businessmen make an offer to buy their club, the Inferno. They turn out to be nothing less than Vampires wanting their land back and turn viciously on the gangsters when their demands are not met. Starring a few regulars from British gangster films, Dexter Fletcher, Jason Flemyng, Billy Murray (playing a similar role as he did in Strippers Vs Werewolves), Craig Fairbass (as the titular Dead Cert), the film starts off like a typical British gangster film a la Snatch etc before turning into a film not too dissimilar to Strippers Vs Werewolves, the werewolves being replaced by vampires this time round. I'd not heard of this film until it arrived through my letterbox the other day and I must say that I did enjoy it, although not really original, it's still a good film with some great scenes and a "blink and you'll miss it" cameo from everybodies favourite Cockney Geezer, Danny Dyer towards the end. Worth picking up for the couple of quid it retails at on Amazon Dead Cert [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: Billy Murray, Craig Fairbrass, Steven Berkoff, Dexter Fletcher, Lucinda Rhodes-Flaherty, Janet Montgomery, Jason Flemyng, Steven Lawson: Film & TV |
I enjoyed Dead Cert Rik. Not a bad effort at all, in fact very entertaining. Far better than Strippers vs Werewolves from the same team. |
I watched the theatrical version of Touch of Evil last night from my new MoC blue-ray, never seen it before but it was awesome, found it quite strange and transgressive that a mainstream film of that era was talking about drugs, prostitution and teenage gangs. Although I have to say some of the 'teenagers' looked quite old :lol: The image and sound quality was fantastic too! HD really improves these 40's/50's studio films more so than any other era of film I think. |

Oh my, just finished watching We Need To Talk About Kevin. What a dark and powerful film. It really has the most incredible use of sound and imagery to make you feel uncomfortable throughout. An astonishing piece of filmmaking, it really is. |
1 Attachment(s) Teacher's Pet (1958) Fun romcom with some social commentary. Is it wrong to think Doris Day was hot back then? ;) |

LINCOLN - WTF, Where were the vampires? seriously though, despite a good titular performance from DDL and the worthy subject matter, I found it over-long, too talkative and worst of all boring. |
Just finished rewatching Toy Story 3 and got choked up when Andy gave his toys to Bonnie :lol: good grief!! |

I also found, even though I knew how the story finished, it was compelling – I thought the same about Zero Dark Thirty – which shows the quality of the film. |

Not as bad as bloody Marley and Me. (No Owen Wilson / crying jokes please) I was quite literally crying my eyes out in the last twenty minutes. Not just a tear, floods of them. Dogs, who needs em'? ;) THAT FILM WILL NEVER BE WATCHED AGAIN. :rolleyes: |
The Collector (2009) Not bad at all and a somewhat different take on the home invasion and "madmen who collect" genres. I do prefer the more classical (read older) mad collector films though. ;) |
Just sticking Motel Hell on. Looking forward to this one, just heard there was a direct sequel in the form of an IDW limited comic book series. If I like it enough i'll get that alongside the Arrow DF. :heh: |
About to watch either videodrome or phantom of death after the episode of space 1999 I'm watching finishes |
Recent viewings starting off with a real shocker dished up by Channel 5 Spider-Man 3 - A howling embarrassment, a stinker a cluttered, tension free, laughless limbo. Will Toby Maguire's career ever recover from those cringeworthy bad Peter Parker jive-ass scenes? Will Raimi's? Anyone who queried the need for the new remake needs to watch this again. The Passion of Joan of Arc - Undoubtably the greatest faces movie ever made. I don't feel I learned anything about Joan the warrior, or the context of her plight, but as a portrayal of pure faith in an impure world it's hard to beat. One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest - why not! The blu ray looks fantastic and the movie holds up even if the portrayals of mental illness look less convincing as the years go by. I always forget Michael Berryman is in this! Anyone else think Scatman Crothers character is exactly the same one as The Shining? A bit older, a lot wiser but its the same guy, he must have got the sack here, sobered up and got a job at the nearby Overlook |
