What films have you seen recently?
saw MACHETE again - brilliant that scene when he pulls the guy's entrails out and jumps out of the window, reminds me of Itchy & Scratchy from The Simpsons great film, shame no commentary and making of on extras |

Thor with Brannagh commentary. Being a thesp Brannagh has an engaging way of talking and displays an obvious passion for the film and the people he worked with, very informative and witty. Pusher with commentary from Winding Refn and William Lustig! Amazed to hear Lustig on the commentary and great to hear them chatting about the Prince Charles cinema in London for the first 5 mins. Lustig was in charge of the R1 release of the movie and he and Refn had become mates after Refn asked permission to use excerpts of Maniac and Vigilante in his second film Bleeder. Absolutely fascinating and insightful commentary that left me quite gobsmacked in that Refn's movie career came about serendipitously. Also amusing to hear him say that he'd never do a sequel The Football Factory commentary with Nick Love and Danny Dyer. Heard this one a few times before. It never fails to crack me up as Dyer is just a complete goon and Love sashays between geeky director and mockney geezer. Can't imagine this would appeal to many people, but I've got a soft spot for Love's films, which I think are really well made. I'd go as far to say he's like a cockney Shane Meadow's in many ways.

I've also heard good things about Stake Land, and have added it to my LoveFilm rental queue. |

As I've mentioned, I usually shy away from modern horror (there's still too many pre 1990s horror films I haven't yet seen!), due to becoming 'disenchanted' with it through the latter part of the 2000s. I'm therefore (blissfully?) unaware of most new films. Just filtering via IMDB now on horror films made between 2010 and 2011, and I'm probably aware of 1 in 10 and have only probably watched 1 in 20. Compare that to a random year from the '70s or '80s, and I've most likely heard of more-or-less all of them, and have watched around 90%. I am slowly starting to come around to watching more 'nu-horror', and have been generally pleased with some of the more hyped-up 'heavy-hitters' so far. I don't tend to actively seek out some of these newer indie horrors, although I actually do have The Pack at home unwatched - is it any good? One of the latest indie horror films I can remember enjoying was Colin, which on remembering discussions here when it was released, is a very 'Marmite' film! |
