watched Bad Teacher. hahaha. felt it went for the mush at the end though, ho hum.
as mate has expressed interest in that ol' family favourite Philosophy of a Knife, might dig that out as well, but am more interested in rewatching Motel Hell, as it's easily been 20 years since i saw it last

cant remember if i raved about The Beast in Space (XXX) as these painkillers are effective but WOW, twas a big hit on friday as id only hinted at the nature of said movie.....easily the "best" of "Al Bradley"'s spag scifi (with or without the humping) i truly cannot begin to describe this galactic romp, though suffice to say i now prefer it to SW if only for the scene in the bar where the "hero" asks for "uranus milk".....i may now buy the Shameless edition so i can show it to kids

Took out a free Netflix trial last night and the girlfriend and I were in the mood for some "silly horror" so went for April Fool's Day, probably the only 'holiday'-themed slasher I hadn't seen.

It was ok, nothing special. I appreciated the novel approach to the slasher genre that it took but it just lacked something. Funnily enough, about 25 minutes in the missus said "I bet she's got an evil twin sister called Buffy or something" which was an incredible twist prediction, even if it wasn't the whole story.

saw my oldest film on dvd again last night, Hitchcock's THE 39 STEPS, excellent Criterion dvd

Eric Stanze's RATLINE, was good and gory but was a bit slow in places, hoped it would of been better

Just watched More by Barbet Schrader. A blind buy for me and a good one - I found this a totally engrossing 2 hours. The characters are rough edged and belevable, the mileu really well captured, great soundtrack, Mimsy Farmer (enough said), sledgehammer ending, beautiful scenery and set dressing. Well up there with Requium for a Dream and Trainspotting in the best drug movies ever made camp. Fantastic picture too - I highly recommend this one.

Just watched over the last couple of days:

Day of the Dead - Hadn't seen it for a while so I'd forgotten just how good it was. Definately the best of the original Romero dead trilogy.

The Shawshank Redemption - First time I've ever seen the whole film and I was blown away by it. I can see why it's so highly regarded. Admittedly, Brooks death scene is the only time a film has brought me close to tears.

At Earths Core - Great fun!

Just seen Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method.
Kiera Nightly was amazing in this but saying that I just could not get into this movie. There was not much going on and it was a straight up drama about Freud etc.

I should have read more about it rather then waste hour and half! Did not feel like a Cronenberg flick at all.

[Frankie Teardrop]

I've just watched ANIMALS, which feautures a small town guy who gets mixed up with some kind of werewolf woman and does some shagging before some 'horror' happens. Was it rubbish beyond belief? No, it was intensely average. Will I ever watch it again? No.

[Gojirosan]

Just struggled through Grindstone Rd.

It's not awful - it looks fine in a TV film way - and passes the time. But it is such a hackneyed collection of cliché And the dialogue! Ouch. Really badly written indeed.

But Fairuza Balk is in it ( I love her!) and though not at her best, she carries things along by throwing herself into matters. Greg Bryk is woefully miscast as her husband though - he looks like a weaselly villain type and it's hard to buy him as a psychiatrist and family man.

Also, you will guess the plot very easily indeed!

Sad really, Balk deserves better than this kind of thing. Her career seems to be winding down into low rent trash and bit-parts.

Catch 44

Bit like a week and rubbish version of pulp fiction with women as the main characters ...Avoid
