Re: Re:
Out of the Mondo cycle, I’ve only actually seen Africa Addio Not sure it's really a mondo film, but you should try and see the late Leonard (brother of Paul) Schreader's documentary on rising crime rates in early 80s america The Killing of America . It's a very interesting, and very well done, but ...

Re: Best 10 Movies 2009
Look for some noughtie musings in the near future from a new column of sorts. But until then, my year’s spirits were raised mostly by: 1. Inglourious Basterds 2. Not Quite Hollywood 3. Anvil 4. Trick 'R Treat 5. Watchmen 6. District 9 7. Away We Go 8. An Education 9. Knowing 10. Drag Me To Hell Alfr...

Out of the Mondo cycle, I’ve only actually seen Africa Addio . I mean, if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen most of them. It’s a fascinating sub-genre but it’s probably up to the individual viewer to judge how much existential philosophizing, spurious anthropological didacticism or plain pastoral/elegiac...

The Cabin Movie - Three couples (allegedly friends) meet to have sex in a log cabin and film the experience to painfully predictable cello music. Of course, being a mean bunch of prudes with more baggage than sex drive, they don't quite manage it and just hang around in their pants drinking and fal...

Rojo Sangre (2004): a timely entry for the legendary Paul Naschy who diesd this week. Though it’s not his last film, acts as an appropriately mischievous, rather somber swansong for a man who saw the exploitation boom come and fade away into torture porn aesthetics, aesthetics which he rails agains...

Great thread, Mr! I threw a less obscure bunch of these into my Halloween write up but I'll weigh in with a couple both US and non-US: * The Last Embrace -- which I'm guessing is almost Jonathan Demme's least seen picture and probably the least seen picture starring either Christopher Walken (althou...

Er...no. It's kind of cool, isn't it? I mean, what with 3D about to really break into the mainstream after the slew of animations, Christmas Carol and the upcoming Avatar . Can't think why Channel 4 *wouldn't* want to innovatively exploit a buzz trend. And Friday 13th ? In 3D? On terrestrial TV? Wat...

Was it The Last Train ? A meteor hits earth while a commuter train is in a tunnel, there's some kind of sci-fi device on the train which freezes all the passengers in stasis until they thaw out decades (I think) later. The whole country’s turned into an Enzo G. Castellari post-apocalypse film. Or, y...

Can someone *actually* explain the fucking story of part IV to me once they've gone heroically through the entire canon? Not that I actually care that much, but I'm still utterly confused about the whole engineering of the Mandylor character's involvement somewhere between part II and IV that invol...
