My initial review was thus. I definitely need to and want to revisit it again.

I've only seen it once and thought it was reasonably good, so it could be worth revisiting knowing all the character dynamics and relationships.

I had'nt watched this film in along time,I must say its still a powerful piece of film making,funny,sad and scary and still shocking after all these years.The performances are all top notch,for me the film is just as relevant today as it ever was.

Yep, it's all of those things, really good stuff, and banned by the BBFC until the late 60's if memory serves me right... I must read the story the film is based on some time - I have it in a James Ellroy curated anthology of American crime fiction...

I'm a fan of it. These were my thoughts upon first viewing.

"Dead Creatures" (2001)
After about ten minutes I found my attention wandering and started to lose interest in this low budget film but, amazingly, it got better and I found myself actually caring for the characters! After that the film became much more watchable and intriguing. Intelligent zombies, eh? What next?

A respectable and thoroughly deserved 15/10 for an intelligent and well thought out movie

"Does Humour Belong in Music?" (1985)

Footage from a 1985 concert by the late, great Frank Zappa. Some nicely chosen songs along with some excellent interview clips. I think that this film shows that Zappa was, apart from a musical genius and free-thinking radical, a magnet for other great musicians. The other artists on stage with Frank are obviously inspired by him.

22/10 for being Zappa on form doing a rendition of "Dinah-Moe Hum." Mmmm! Peachy!

Is that the one where someone is tied to a chair in a basement for what seems like eons?

Finished off the rest of Band of Brothers today, compelling stuff, especially episode 9 which is the one where they discover the concentration camp. I'd forgotten how good harrowing that episode was

Went all Spidey so far this week:
Spider-man 2 (2004) Pity the CGI was so obvious!
Spider-man 3 (2007) Suffers from the same problem as the previous, that and way to many villians! Cool black spidey suit though!
The Amazing Spider-man (2012) The CGI is getting better and I quite liked Garfields mannerisms more than Maguire's

Yeah! There's a lot of "in-chair-bondage-and-bolt-through-head" action and rubber hand chewing.

Sorry to disagree with your assessment then Troggi old bean, but i thought it was shite beyond belief.
