I'd pretty much agree with that, and further add that I never liked any of the Ring films, and I usually love Japanese Cinema. For a while these Asian Horror films were coming out in their droves - films like Pulse, Dark Water, Grudge, Phone, The Eye, One Missed Call, Cursed, Infection, the list seems endless... I did like the Three Extremes collections, but the penny has yet to drop on A Tale of Two Sisters...

Seven Psychopaths - Saw a preview of this last night and it was fantastic! This film is a great follow up to In Bruges and is light years better. Great script, great cast and a career high from Walken! You have to go and see it.

Kill List. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Can only echo certain sentiments expressed about this film. Was enjoying its "grittish" quality....but the ending felt like it belonged to an another film imo. Did I miss some subtlety inherent in the script? Don't think so, at least it wasn't Darklands cough cough.

That was my thought on it. I must give it another go and see if the shift doesn't seem as abrupt on a second viewing. I kinda felt like I missed some clues in it |

Maybe. I just felt that if that was his intention, that side could have been fleshed out slightly more. don't get me wrong, I'm all for ambiguity in a film, but this just jarred. Due to the back-and-forth about KL on here, I was waiting for this "shift" and it just felt too tacked on imo. The bit with the hammer though....

Fantastic stuff Frankie, and I would go out this minute and pick up the set on the strength of your post, but I have shot my load so to speak on purchases for this year - I've been spending like a maniac for the last few weeks... But great to have these films available again, the previous OOP BFI issues were unspeakably expensive...
