Yes but it is a recommendations thread with a purpose - read the column and then the first post again. Otherwise we have a perfectly legit recommendations bit and do absolutely not need this one. In the end it comes down to this - the whole aim of this exercise is to mention films we don't mention v...

Well as I remarked at the beginning, the terms are meant to be strict- they're meant to make you dig deeper and deeper - and there's a million ways of seeing a film other than a release - just the other month I watched Miss Leslie's Dolls which is so rare that it's considered lost at the BFI. And th...

Hey girls and boys; Great start - let's keep see if we can keep it going. A few points of note: Let's put all the titles in bold for others to see - I'm just as responsible for now doing this. Let's avoid titles that played Frightfest - So, Melvin, I'm sorry to say Frostbitten is OUT - and I have to...

Lovely job, fellas - onwards with the mission! Incidentally I'm desperate to see the remake of Viy which has been waiting on the shelf for nearly two years now! The Last Witness (1980) - a lost and recently remastered classic of Korean cinema: a trip into the darkest recesses of human nature - a tru...

Films and Recommendations - The Horror-The Horror 25/10/2009

I'm not sure how many of the board members read my column today (and if you haven't I highly recommend you do before continuing) but in the spirit of what I wrote there, I am starting a recommendation topic. BUT anyone who even mentions one of the gazillion movies that are now well acknowledged by t...

I'm sorry , nekro but I have to disagree with you strongly. Who gives any of us the right to judge 'x is better than y' other than for our own personal preference? Yes agree for my money FF looks a much better line up - but maybe Heiko enjoys the GZ films more - maybe they seem more interesting to h...

Definitely a brilliant film as I've remarked a thousand times by now. Though the book will definitely be a surprise to everyone who expects something evne remotely like the film. I'd also like to draw everyone's attention to the fact that Pontypool was chosen to be the Radio Play for Canada's repres...

Maybe it's just me but so far Quentin Tarantino has not made a film so far which I have not enjoyed. All of his efforts have been very entertaining romps through different genres, almost like a film fan making an entetaining tribute for other film fans. I love 'Inglorious Basterds'. There's no two w...
