This evening I watched A Single Man and Cannibal Ferox with the commentary.

I saw it at my local Cineworld and you’re right, there’s like three or four screenings a day, which is a lot less than many other “big” releases. Though it is what would usually be considered art house, the films heading towards a haul of $100m in the US, so you’d think there’d be a bigger splash in the UK – the screening I attended yesterday was at 3:15 and was sold out! Completely out of the ordinary, even on a Sunday, at my local.

I guess it boils down to the time of year – there are stacks of films out: all the awards-consideration types of films and big budgeters like Green Hornet too. Just not enough screens. I still can’t believe, with all the hype it’s had, that BLUE VALENTINE’s not paying in my local cinema – Optimum only saw fit to put it on 36 screens nationwide! None of my local cinemas are showing the new Carpenter flick, THE WARD, either.

I suppose it all goes down to a multiplex's raison d'être which is to make money. Why would they put on four shown as a day of Blue Valentine or The Ward which would attract a small audience when they could put on The Green Hornet (in 3D, not 2D) which will have a much bigger audience and therefore more cash?

Give it a couple of months and these films will be in your local arthouse cinema so all is not lost!

Yeah out of the 6 cinemas here only 2 are showing Ward but they both ain't close

Lat night I watched:

The Making of Battle Royale: The Experience of 42 High School Students

I really enjoyed this, its amazing how energertic Kinji Fukasaku was for a 70 year old man. Cant wait to watch the rest of the special features

Dead Beat At Dawn

This is the third time I've seen this film and I still like it a lot. It's ultra low budgetness (is that a word) gives it a really gritty feel, and the stange colured lighting make it seem like a living nightmare. I especially like the 'I hate people speach'. Whenever I hear the phrase ultra-violence I think of Deadbeat at Dawn.

Logan's Run.

Some outstanding images and locations. The rubbish phazers add to the charm. Great soundtrack. Jenny Agutter circa '76. I don't need to say anymore.

Oh, someones remaking it. Good luck with that.

[Inspector Tanzi]

The Undergroung Banker - A wifes loan shark debts get out of hand, so they rape, drug and film her in action, they end up burning down their flat with the wife and child still in it, the wife dies and the little boy suffers terrible injuries and the soft husband decides enough is enough and goes on the rampage with his unbalanced friend.
