Another long day today, half way through already ...

100 Bloody Acres excellent Ozzie dark comedy

Grief Tourist or Dark Tourist as it now seems to be called. Really bad.

Son of Cain crap title for an effective Spanish thriller.

Odd Thomas Stephen Sommers latest is an adaptation of the novel, while it has a certain charm, it feels much more like a TV pilot

Last Days Everyone becomes agrophobic in this average Spanish apocopalypse thriller

SVHS Much improved sequel with ghosts, zombies and aliens, something for everyone?

In fairness, this bit of library music (called The Awakening) pre-existed the News At 10, but it's so synonymous with the news, when heard in the film it's quite odd. Plus Adamson drops in the music literally every five minutes or so...

here's a reminder...

I remember seeing another film with that music in it. It was so long ago that I can't remember much about it except;

• 1. It was the supporting film to "The Terror of Mechagodzilla" so around 1975
• 2. It was set on a desert island
• 3. It had lots of underwater knife and net battles to the "News at Ten" theme, laughably!

Any ideas?

Was it Beyond Atlantis ?

I went in to this only knowing i would love it or hate it i dont think there is any middle ground. I loved it right now i cant explain why but its been stuck in my mind since i watched it. I didnt really have any idea what was going on it was like a series of short films but i was captivated from start to finish. I loved the imagery Denis Lavant was great as Mr Oscar. Its hard to recommend this film as its really an acquired taste. The best way to watch this film is to know nothing about it so you can make up your own mind after you watch it rather than going in forcing yourself to sense of it.

Il will wait a while and re watch it again as im sure there is much more i missed first time around and it feels like a film filled with hidden images that a few revisits will be needed.

No need to make up your own mind with this one GANGSTERS, GUNS AND ZOMBIES, I can do it for you(if the title hasn't already). Bollocks and not even soppy ones. That said most of the film is set in a van which I quite liked for some reason that escapes me. Perhaps it reminded me of 5 ACROSS THE EYES in which the camera never leaves the car in which the whole film is set. From most reviews of 5ATE, I'm guessing I am it's only fan.
