Well my Toshiba Multiregion BDX1200 player packed in friday after 4 years use,and to be fair for a cheap player at the time it sure took a hammering and served me well,so have had to fork out for a new All region player for Blu as well as DVD unfortunately. However before it went tits up since my last post I watched.. Night of The Devils (1972) I had never seen this before and I loved it. I found it genuinely creepy with some nice gore for it's era, the Raro Blu looks Beautiful. Naked Lunch. I love Cronenberg especially The Fly & Rabid,so I checked out this title on Criterion Blu as it's the only Cronenberg I haven't seen. As always the quality of the Disc is beautiful as Criterion never fails to be,But I can't say I thought a great deal about the film,It made little sense and seemed to be much longer than needed. Big Bad Wolves. Watched this one on Netflix USA. Iranian (I think) anyhoo it deals with a paedophile being kidnapped and tortured until he confesses to the location of a little girls Bonce,It seemed to me to drag out going in circles & the ending (to me) made no sense. I wouldn't say a bad film but a drawn out loop the loop. Thou Shalt Not Kill Except.. Another excellent quality Synapse Blu. The film itself was fairly original and gory at times,I did however find some of the score and dialogue to be childish and not in the least amusing as I am sure was the aim. Sorry to go slightly off topic but anyone know a release date for Synapse Blu of "Long weekend" It is in the 2014 catalogue leaflets enclosed in other releases and seems to have originally meant to have come out in 2013. |

The Happinet Blu release of Dawn of the Dead 1978 European cut. An okay transfer at best. A handful of trailers make up the only extras. One of which runs for over four minutes and is available in HD. Personally I'd rather the Arrow or the Anchorbay US release |

Pressure Point (1962, Hubert Cornfield) Sidney Poitier in a battle of wits with Bobby Darin. They really don't make 'em like this anymore. I was given this to look at from a friend, a Spanish release, even though tis available from MGM. Maybe tis a better transfer ahem.

Star Trek continues episode 3 Another amazing episode this one taking place in the mirror mirror universe just after the end of the mirror mirror TOS episode. For those who don't know this is a fan produced show(phase 2 is another) with is of outstanding quality in scripts ands effects it just like a forth season of TOS. Well worth seeking out for those who are fans of Star Trek, one of the only things I have ever backed on kickstarter. 9.5/10 |

Tonight I watched the Maniac re-make with Elijah Wood and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by it. It was much better than I thought it would be, and the soundtrack's really, really good. In fact, so good I had to order it. I also saw Fright Night (85), it felt a little bit too long but otherwise it was a fun watch. |
