I agree with you w.r.t. to Sin City (I think the comic book visuals perhaps help) but he almost ruined Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for me. I just don"t find him believable in that kind of role.

*Odd really as i like most other football violence films even though i find it totally abhorrent. Must be due to the lack of a certain pub landlord.

Green Street is bloody awful and Frodo woefully miscast...however The Football Factory is great.

That's because there's a proper hardman in it.

I can't stand either of them and find the whole 'football hooliganism' subgenre to be thoroughly distasteful. That said, I quite enjoyed Cass.

Why do you think they are distasteful, aren't the majority of films we discuss on here distasteful to the masses. I personally love "The Football Factory" especially as Dyer has no character arch, he starts out an arse, learns nothing and remains an arse to the end! I find that really refreshing in a film.

Blue velvet

Just as good as eraserhead.Jeffrey Beaumont, ( Kyle MacLachlan )returns home after his father collapses and ends up finding a human ear this leads him on a investigation that shows a dark underbelly of sex and violence, of Middle America, along the way he meets Dorothy who is a sex slave of drug dealer, obscenity-shouting psycho Frank( a fantastic performance from Denis hopper). Fantastic haunting score and great use of sound in very chilling and disturbing film. With some great support from the likes of Laura dern and dean stockwell. 9.5/10

Hellraiser 2 hellbound

A fantastic sequel that is better than the first, taking place after the first movie finishes. Kirsty wakes up at the Channard institute a psychiatric hospital run by the sinister dr channard who has a interest in the puzzel box, it's not long before he brings Julia back from hell and they use a young girl to open the entrance to hell, were channard becomes a cenobite which leads to a confrontation between pinheads cenobites, and channard. For me the real highlight is the the wickedly evil character of Julia and of course pinhead. 9.5/10

Terminator

The original and still the best. A classic. 10/10

As previously mentioned I.D is the best footie violence film, Elijah just wasn't convincing as a fighter to me
