Uncle Sam (1996)
I just got through watching William Lustig's Uncle Sam (1996). I also posted a review of it over at my blog. I'm sure many of you have seen it, what are your thoughts?

The Pumaman - 1980 Italy d:Alberto de Martino Whilst notorious as one of the worst films ever made, I found it very hard to see it as such. It is a mess, for sure with a terrible script and special effects awful even by the standards of the day, but the film is a pleasure to watch and exudes heart and fun. For me a truly bad film becomes a slog to get through and usually makes me angry. This did neither. It's all a load of silly, camp fun that perhaps needs to be viewed as if a young child. I have seen many far worse film experiences than this. A lot of the TV shows I remember enjoying when very young look a lot like this film when seen now. Attack The Block - 2011 UK d: Joe Cornish A revisit, this time on Blu-ray. One of the best British films of the last five or so years, in my book. Brilliantly written, superbly performed, paced beautifully, great action scene and really funny. Also deeper themes run throughout, expressed superbly. Unmissable. Bears up to repeated viewing. The Thin Blue Line - 1988 USA d: Errol Morris. A masterpiece of documentary film-making. A powerful investigation into a crime, expertly shown by a master documentarian. Got the case reopened and a man saved from Death Row. Says it all really. |

Deathdream does something similar but thats a much better film. All said and done though, I've seen a lot worse as well and I didn't want to switch it off or start reading a book. |

Cosmopolis yesterday and I hated it, I rarely or never have seen anything less interesting and boring than this piece of dung. Add to that horrible attempts at acting from Robert Pattinson... Wasted time - Cronenberg used to be one of my favourite directors, but he dropped deep with this crap...

I think I need to take a break as I'm starting to feel a bit paranoid in my own home, it doesn't help that I've been listening to Goblin a lot recently. My neck is sore from constantly checking over my shoulder. So time for a cool down period, some of the Dark Shadows TV series, Naked Gun, Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D., Leprechaun and Demons 2 are all planned for today.
