ONLY GOD FORGIVES- if you liked this, you need to find your local neighborhood Muay Thai fighter to knee you in the head. terrible dialogue, silly plot,annoying prom king hipster actor, & pretty red lighting.

I have this in my "to watch" folder...

[emboscado]

About "Only God...": maybe better to put it in "To see" folder rather than "to watch"... beatiful images and photography etc... but absolutely dull in every other aspect. Anodine acting, silly and too simple plot...

I liked "Drive" though but what worked there, not here.

Experiment in Terror (1962)



Classic crime drama/post film noir era directed by Blake Edwards. Cynical undercurrent. Superb cinematography and score by Henry Mancini. Recently reissued on bluray.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ry5ZWlUb8s

--------------------------------

The Ballad of Narayama (1958)

Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita.

A meditation on nature and life cycles in old time Japan. Be sure to get the Criterion version. Stunning studio sets and scene changes. Impressive visuals.

--------------------------------

Gate of hell (1953)

Remastered samurai era drama. High quality visuals and direction, but the story is quite thin and the film feels a bit static and the acting is quite dated. Still worth the time spent due to the lush hand-colored feel the movie have.

i'm really into anime and i've noticed a lot of classic ovas up for stream in their entirety, and i'd consider wicked city amongst my favorite films
here's Shoujo Tsubaki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxME8pxrKyQ very pornographic and weird, dogs getting stomped
artwork originally by suehiro maruo who did stuff for john zorn

Urotsukidoji Legend of the Overfiend
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GzaLBrmQYg
classic hentae  with demons and a comprehensible plot outside of the tentacle rape and whatnot

and Wicked City https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0gB5-VmnKo
one of the best looking anime films in my opinion, just love all the cool colors and vagina detata and love the mind rape scene at 47:46 highly recommended

HOBBIT: DESOLATION OF SMAUG

In my opinion it was awful. I went to see it to the cinema too. Deviation from the book is outstanding. It would be almost as if watching "Decameron" with lasers etc.

Other than that, recently watched

The Sexy Killer - not very good

Ong Bak - ok. not the "best martial arts movie", but quite good. Thumbs up for Muay Thai.

Death Sentence - lacking logic, but entertaining

Hunger - good

Don't remember anything more. Started watching Columbo series. It's quite ok etc., but I don't like when you know the killer from the very first minutes of the episode.

Samurai Cop Wow. Why I've been waiting for so long to see this. This is an absolute masterpiece! If you liked Deadly Prey, this is a must see!

I LOVE SAMURAI COP!!!!!!!! Such a great karate action flick!! Check it out. Trailer is total fun.

If you are into SC Levas I recommend Miami Connection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpZu69OB2KM

For some strange reason I don't think I have watched Deadly Prey. Well maybe, in the VHS days, but I cannot remember. Have had it on my list, will have to check it out one of these days.

classic despite the very "cool" image a-la guy ritchie... it just rules...

I saw this yesterday. enjoyed it as well. main actor does a good job. quality cinematography, actors and script. cannot remember the book very well, in comparison to the movie.. but i don't think its important. solid work that stands on its own feet. can see the ritchie reference, but it doesn't infest the movie. more toned dwn and clear cut maybe.

*Vargtimmen (Ingmar Bergman)
Very good, I think I should listen to the Vargtimmen CD now...
* Made in Britain (Alan Clarke)
No comment necessary I think
* Bad Boy Bubby (Rolf de Heer)
Intense and bleak first twenty minutes, after the killing of the parents it's often funny and absurd - and yeah: To think god out of existance - I heard that from the first track of Vomit Arsonist's An Occasion for Death! Didn't like that happy ending too much, but I think it's ok!

new Alex De la Igleasias... starts as a funny over-the-top violent action movie, to turn in a crazy anti-feminist/goddesmothercult/wiccan horror.
if you like his previous stuff you know what to expect.
His masterpiece is still Balada triste... but this rules as well... Too bad for the English title: Witchin' and Bitchin'

You're Next (US 2011/2013)


Best slasher / home intrusion film I have seen in a long time. Comes highly recommended. For fans of the genre I would also like to point of the Spanish flick Kidnapped from a few years back. Just as good, but a tad more cynical. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNn-OKqR87Q

Vargtimmen. One of Bergman's definitive best. Respect.
