Medium Cool, Haskell Wexler's 1969 docu-drama about the turbulant events around the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. A news cameraman (played by a tough-headed Robert Forster) explores the Chicago slums and its volatile racial tensions and discovers his news agency is passing his footage to the FBI and the CIA... One of the most incredible American films of the sixties, Medium Cool's extraordinary final act is set amid the maelstrom of actual riot between peaceful protestors and a brutal Chicago police force... See it and worry.

Ghost Stories for life not just for xmas
Just picked up my Ghost Sories For Christmas boxset from post office (or Nazi HQ as I like to call it) Dived right in because I wanted to watch Lost Hearts again as I recently re-read the story,my fav MR James story,although its set at Halloween which kind of pisses on the whole idea of stories xmas,well done BBc,could'nt you just call it Ghost Stories DUH. But a great set pity it took so long to release but well done BFI. |

I bet there'd be a storm of online outrage if they'd dropped christmas from the title . . .

Showed mate Gu (aka Bewitched), was suitably weirded out, even though it's not as totally crazed as The Boxer's Omen, it's still a unique watch.
