Looks good.

To be fair, my complaints about Kill List aside, I think British cinema has delivered some absolute top notch stuff over recent years, generally I'd rather watch a British film than from anywhere else right now.

Here's a review of The Devil's Business:

http://www.chrisandphilpresent.co.uk/dvd-review-the-devils-business/

The cover art for the upcoming LP on Death Waltz is cool. Hopefully the movie will get a US rel soon.

Lately I've seen: Dirty Harry, Unforgiven, House of Games, Rec 3: Genesis

I've seen Dead Man's Shoes once & only thought it was ok. I had high hopes for it at the time. I'd like to see it again but rented it via Netflix & I'm no longer a member.

I agree on British films. I'm a huge fan of'em.

after many suggestions I have watched A l'intereur and I save nothing of it.
Despite the many splatter scene is ridicolous, with no tension whatsoever.
The whole story is full of huge holes, predictable and the way cops behaves is ridicolous.

[bitewerksMTB]

That's too bad about A l'intereur. I like "Inside" alot; I get a jolt everytime I see that guy smash her in the belly with the billyclub.

This is interesting:

I met him a couple of times for exhibitions in my hometown, definitely annoying.

Watched some of "In the Devil's Garden" last night but couldn't pay attention. Early '70s UK film with Suzy Kendall (Kendell?), looks like it was filmed for tv about a schoolgirl rapist-killer.

Just ordered Ken Russell's "The Devils" dvd. Looking forward to seeing it again.

Has anyone seen "Appropriate Adult" about Fred & Rosemary West?

"Innocence of Isalm" could become a cult classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E55rwmKSyg

[ConcreteMascara]

Watched "One Deadly Summer" with the my girlfriend last week. What would be okay is made great by Isabelle Adjani and her naked prancing. The rape scene is pretty good too. Unfortunately the actual violence is not graphic at all. Every time I expected to see some gore, the camera cuts away. lame.

and I watched "Sin City" for what seems like the 100th time last night. It's so over the top and ridiculous but that's what makes it good. Basically a 14 year olds fantasy run wild. And Micky Rourke is just so good as Marv

[bitewerksMTB]

Appropriate Adult is ok, nothing special. No mention of incest at all & the actress that plays Rosemary seems to be dead-on: a foul, mouthed bith but doesn't really look old enough. I was unaware of the cult rumours or the things Fred's brother did.

On a rainy Sunday afternoon I watched Point Black with Lee Marvin.

Electra Glide In Blue (1973).
Director: James William Guercio.

John Wintergreen (Robert Blake) is a motorcycle cop patroling the rural Arizona highways with his partner "Zipper" (Billy Green Bush). Wintergreen, a rookie, is looking for an opportunity to be transferred to homicide. When he is informed of an apparent suicide, Wintergreen believes the case is actually a murder. Detective Harve Poole (Mitchell Ryan) agrees, and arranges for Wintergreen to be transferred to homicide to help with the case. The plot unfolds--

In my opinion this is a classic. Very good craftsmanship on all fronts in this production. Enjoy

[bitewerksMTB]

Electric Glide in Blue is very good. I always watch it when I come across it on tv.

Rainy Saturday viewing:

Manhunter- so much better than Silence of the Lambs & has the best ever jump-through-a-window-only-to-be-caught-by-a-huge-serial-killer-who-throws-you-into-a-refrigerator-while-IronButterfly-is-blaring-loud-as-hell scene.

Bleeder & the original Mother's Day (I can see why the remake wasn't really a remake. It's an awful movie)

Currently watching Star Trek: New Generation. I guess it's a shame that I've never seen a single episode of Star Trek. Quite decent series.

No wave cinema influenced by the French new wave. Comparisons can also be found in Chris Marker's Le Jetée. Especially in sections of the narrative and as well in the main character.

Just finished watching Excision. Leaking new age cinema out of all corners, that kind of turns me off, but still a quite compelling and weird movie with a good dose of blood and guts. Recommended
