AAnyway, watched Unearthly Stranger (John Krish, 1963). Tense, terse and brittle in the way that only the British can do, this will make an excellent DB with The Night Caller (once I find that bloody disc!!). Very nice looking print as well. Decent shadow contrast etc etc.

Saboteur (1942) Hitchcock's first film with an all American cast is a mainly gripping piece about war time paranoia which races through it's first half before falling flat in the third quarter then really upping it's game in a riveting finale atop the Statue of Liberty. Recommended to those who want to see a precursor to North by Northwest. |

Today i was in the mood to watch some extras on some of my Blu Rays. I watched all the extras on Scream Factory releases of The Burning and From Beyond. There are some great stuff about the make up and effects. Its always great to see all involved in films you love have such fond memories of making the films. Also watched Living In Darkness the making of Near Dark on the region 1 on Blu Ray. I loved the stories from both Lance Henrikson and Bill Paxton freaking people out while they were in make up and the lenghts Lance went through to really become Jesse Hooker. Well worth a watch if you get the chance.

Went to see Reece Witherspoon in Wild last night. I am not sure whether I liked it, I think it will require a second viewing before I can make my mind up and say something sensible.

Grand Piano (2013) Interesting little thriller starring Elijah Wood as a talented pianist. In a packed theatre he finds a message on his music sheets -'Play one wrong note and you die'. Despite the concert hall being an original setting you can't help feel you've seen this film before. Phone Booth and Liberty Stand Still are two recent ish examples. John Cusack strolls through proceedings as the anonymous sniper but it was nice to see Bill and Ted's Alex Winter onscreen as his accomplice. Despite throwing us a few Hitchcock traits Grand Piano doesn't come close to the master of suspense's efforts or particularly offer anything new, but it's still an entertaining enough watch even though you quickly realize this isn't the virtuoso performance you were hoping for. |
