SISTER STREET FIGHTER - HANGING BY A THREAD. Another hugely,enjoyable slice of Etsuko Shiomhi. As she slices and dices her way through another collection of weird and wonderful comic-book style martial arts villains. Also stars a young Yasuaki Kurata.

recent viewings.... ABDUCTION: Pretty average teen action film starring Taylor Lautner as the kid that former russian black ops soldiers are looking for so they can use him as leverage to get his father (who he doesn't know and happens to be a spy) to hand over a database of names of people who have sold info to the other side. Pretty much your average chase movie with retard face as the main star. Uninspired but if you have 106 minutes free, it's not a bad switch off brain film. WARRIOR: absolutely brilliant film that focuses on two estranged brothers who both enter an MMA contest. Much more in here than that mini plot synopsis though as the story of their pasts and the relationship with their alcoholic father beats in the background of all the face bashing. Top turns from everyone involved, Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and especially Nick Nolte who has been nominated for an oscar for this. Highly recommended. |

Went to the GFT last night to see the 'new digital print' of one of my favs - Herzogs Nosferatu. It looked great, a few degraded scenes but leaps and bounds over the Anchor Bay DVD - amazing detail and colour, will always be a slightly gauzy looking movie but I loved this transfer. Queston is are these new prints (Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo have also been on) indicators of blu rays down the line? (I know there's a French one but it's not even German friendly never mind English) Surely if they've gone to the trouble of digitally restoring these films they'll be blu rayed? A program of Herzog's 70s/80s classics in Hi Def would be my dream, even moreso than the Universal Monsters and Hammer and I'm desperate enough for those.

Last night, I watched the Region A Women in Cages Collection (Big Doll House, The Big Bird Cage, Women in Cages). The Jack Hill ones are great with some bizarre humour to go with the tougher aspects of the films but Women in Cages has none of the humour and is a really bleak and tough film with Pam Grier as an incredibly sadistic lesbian matron with a mediaeval torture chamber!

Meant to say, (probably a different thread this) but I think Kinski's performance in this movie is tied with Karloffs Frankenstein as horror's greatest ever performance - they are both incredible at portraying something completely alien yet somehow sympathetic, even tragic. keirarts likes this. |
