  1. Loved the Klonoa games, that sort of 2.5 dimension where the focus is on gameplay rather than camera. Did you play Pandemonium also? A sort of similar thing played like Castle of Illusion. A guilty pleasure of mine is also a game called One on the PS1 which contains lots of that neon particle effect (seen in G-Police, Colony Wars, Metal Gear Solid) that the PS1 did with ease.
  2. A Man Most Wanted - Seymour Hoffman detaches himself from the entire film and just wanders around like an omnipresent english ttourist in Hamburg. William Defoe kicks everyone else off the set as his presence is too much for everyone else to handle. 40 years after Chinatown, Anton Corbijn makes this, regressive thriller saved by Rachel McAdams being more real than damp air in the morning. So real is she, that she still lives there to this day on her bicycle ignoring casual invites from powerful responsible citizens like lawyers and heads of secret intelligence nationalists. Salaam Hamburg!
  3. Creep (2014) played like a homo-erotic version of Stephen King's Misery which is where it takes it's cues from. The only female in the film is a voice, which gives the film a mano-y-mano thing. 99centsmasks/10
  4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Cremerthat's the guy from Sorcerer. Love the way he makes his exit at the start. Au revoir!
  5. Sorcerer also has that cool as fuck french actor in it who drives one of the trucks. Talk about an anti hero, everyone loves one of those.
  6. Antiviral is the bastard offspring of a Vincenzo Natali film. Canadian backed science fiction too. Never heard of it before so cheers.
  7. Wonder if one of the main character moons the security camera and from his ruffled arse crack you can tell that he is an extreme basejumper?
  8. Jon Glazer's Birth from 2004. Like an amalgamation of Home Alone and Big written by J.M.Coetzee. After the bleeping ace Under the Skin soundtrack, this orchestral one brought the film down. Kidman's Eyebrows/10
  9. Did Irvine Welsh write 128bpm? About as deep as a topsoil atop an Asda carpark.

    Now Reading

    2066 by R.Bolano read it over the space of a month. Five parts to this and all very different, Bolano is so honest when he writes. Includes glorious depiction of european social behaviour and some truly great ideals that in this public led time would be very hard to accomplish, his romantic view of Archimboldi being an outsider to it all is really interesting to read. Also read the Bolano short about Return of the Living Dead 3 called The Colonel's Son. Now really want to see this Yuzna classic. Bolano says that the film is closest thing to his own biography he ever saw. As an insomniac and writer of such unique stories I can't stop reading all his stuff.
  11. Paperhouse is one of the first films of Bernard Rose, one of my favourite filmmakers. Really makes film as if a lens over fantastical human lives. Ivans XTC, Boxing Day and Kreutzer Sonata all have Danny Huston in playing as lead. Watch his films over and over again.
  12. Great review that. Did you like the quip I heard that Johnny Depp skype'd his performance in from the Bahamas?
  13. When my cousin Vinny represents Mr Cosby in a court of law this is the kind of defence he will use. Amazing!
  14. Elysium felt like the abandoned Halo project from some years ago with Peter Jackson. Exo suit, halo world, etc.
  15. America does outsider so well dunnit? Also check Two Years at Sea http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2359417/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
  16. Tarkovsky's Solaris Soderbergh didn't take all the good bits after all. Lots of procrastination about human or extra-terrestrial existence. The clothes are immense. Best pair of white pants I've ever seen on the big screen on the main character.
  17. Mr Turner English bloke dedicated to his artform begins descent in a changing industrial landscape. Mike Leigh depicts sex as brutal harsh and cold which it can be at times. Worth watching to see a depiction of Margate before the London homeowners moved in and boost their portfolios etc. Ya Mama/10
  18. Ian Boddy first album on DiN - Box of Secrets available as a free download (just enter £0.00) on his bandcamp https://t.co/XMh1KJz7hM
  19. I watched this recently too, so many one liners - "Cyborgs don't feel pain. I do" Rick Rossovich almost steals the film as the classic american straight guy. The influences of comics on the film is so apparent, the film plays like a series of comic book stills. For other cityscapes as real and grimy I'd recommend Scorsese's After Hours played like an extended Hopper painting.
  20. Surviving Life - modern day mashup of Monty Python esque animation as a middle aged bloke questions reality and dreams. Will make you want to never use the phrase "in reality" ever again as it begs the question "What is reality?". Erotic scenes like porno from yesteryear. Defo watch it if you can.
  21. I am surrounded by 'things' music coming out of my arse, how will I reach a higher level of being with all this clutter? A problem explored by Joe Matt in one of his comics.
  22. Hope this happens to me when I go, hopefully be limnal throughout. Are you employed by Imax as some secret persuader?
  23. Director's cut???? Cronenberg is so good in this film. The soundtrack is a pure fantasy dream also.
  24. After reading about chickenhawks, seems there is a whole trail of death and destruction in Hollywood from lust, drugs and abuse. Renfro and Phoenix the end of a very sordid line that was publicised with Polanski and Nicholson and teenage girls in the 70s.
