Bought quite a few films since the start of February, but my most anticipated was George Romero's Martin. I've heard so many great things about this that I was desperate to see it, which is why I saved it for last! Never has a film that I've anticipated SO MUCH bored me so much! nothing happens and and has no story apart from a young guy who goes to stay wih a creepy old uncle who keeps telling him he's a relative of Nosferatu. His granddaughter tells him he isn't. Granddaughter tries to convince grandad that he boy isn't evil which just makes him shout about Nosferatu even more Quote:
Did anyone else feel the same way about it, because it seems to me like everyone loves it.

HOLY MOTORS - Believe the hype. I thought this was amazing. An actor guy roves around Paris in a white limo looking for 'scenes' in which he plays various bizarre characters. It's obviously quite 'meta-cinema' on one level, but, being a weird movie freak rather than a cineaste per se, I enjoyed it more on the level of surface effect. But what a surface - I loved the way 'Holy Motors' turns emotionally, from cold strangeness to something altogether more affecting and tender in its latter stages. V/H/S - Although it's maybe not entirely succesful, I enjoyed this episodic 'found footage' experiment. At some points it comes close to capturing the sinister grottiness of abandoned, degraded VHS footage. At other points, it's a bludgeoning whirlwhind of video fragments. I really liked the segment with the digital glitch entity, which for some reason I found genuinely creepy, and to be fair most of the episodes manage to sidestep cliche just enough to capture something reasonably disturbing. CLONE - Aka 'Womb'. A woman clones (and gives birth to copy of) her dead boyfriend. She raises the clone from birth. Things get Oedipal. I liked this slow, meditative take on some big questions about love and sexuality. It's not exploitative, despite its subject matter's potential, and those looking for something more explicit might easily find themselves bored by 'Clone's glacial, contemplative approach, but it's an unusual film which is worth a watch. DEATH WATCH - In dystopian early eighties future Glasgow where death following disease is a novelty, Harvey Keitel films the last days of a terminally ill Romy Scheider after media boss Harry Dean Stanton implants a camera in HK's eye. The results are broadcast live on TV. As well as being an eerily prophetic critique of 'reality' TV before it even happened, this is really moving and in some places heart rending, particularly at the end. The idea of all the above named actors making a seemingly Ballard-inspired sci fi movie in post-punk Glasgow is also pretty intoxicating. A brilliant film, highly recommended. INDECENT DESIRES - Sixties softcore director Doris Wishman's films often amaze me with their subtle, unforced but utterly haywire weirdness. I'm not sure how much of her approach was deliberate or not. The same weird shots - mostly of peoples feet and inanimate objects - crop up in most of her movies, so I'm assuming she was trying to get some basic point across. It gives her work a really cryptic, dream-like edge. Here, the madness is reined in just a bit, but we have the requisite foot fetish along with an insideous and pivotal recurring shot of a water cooler. The plot involves a creep who finds a discarded doll in a bin, takes it home and finds it's supernaturally connected to a woman he's stalking. The incessant upbeat jazzy score adds to the lopsided sense of estrangement. Not for all tastes, but recommended for some (well, I'd recommend it to myself, anyway.) |

That interlude alone - the church/accordion scene - is my of my favourite scenes in recent years. And the chameleon-like Denis Lavant is just remarkable. |

I might watch what I refer to as the zannibal trilogy Cannibal Holocaust (Cannibal Film) Zombie Holocaust (Cannibal Films With Zombies) Zombie Flesh Eaters (Zombie Films) |

Because of being unemployed and skint i cant afford to buy films. But when i was in cex other day just browsing and looking at what i wish i could buy i saw Death Tube for £1 so i thought this looks interesting its only a quid..By god it was a pound wasted what a god damn awful film.. One of those where the concept was a good one and cant help thinking it could have been done so much better, The acting was terrible not one likeable character so couldnt care less who lived or died, And what the hell was with the Character behind the killings must be the worst ever in any film in the history of films, It was like a really bad pokemon reject seeking revenge on the people who rejected him, and as for the other bear characters its like as if pudsey bear and his relatives have made their debut film in there spare time between raising cash for children in need, As if the film wasnt bad enough to begin with when they where all released from their rooms the films went so downhill it actualy become embarrasing to even watch...Such a god damn awful and terrible film that even the horror channel would probably be embarrased to show it and worst thing is they went on to make a sequel.
