Watched Looper a week or two ago. I kinda hated, kinda enjoyed it. Bruce Willis generally makes me cringe, but I liked that there was a consistent visual aesthetic and a decent amount of violence. I mean compared to most of the big budget sci-fi these days it wasn't bad at all, but it still doesn't compare to most stuff from the '80s.

And I watched the new James Bond, Skyfall which wasn't bad for a popcorn movie. Sort felt like a waste of 2+ hours though that I won't ever get back.

Schindler's List 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Blu-ray

This is an ok Spielberg moment, though I detest his cynical use of emotions in his flicks I must admit he has some highlights during his career. Best moment in Schindler is when the camp commandant wakes up in the morning, picks up his rifle, and shoots on of his "camp sheeps". Jaja

I think whether you love or hate this film for whatever reason thematically, it is hard to deny the quality of the performances. Ralph Fiennes particularly gives an outstanding performance as said commandant.

Anyone seen Coriolanus? Fiennes also stars in and directed it, a little hard going but an interesting Shakespearean adaptation.

Reality - Matteo Garrone

Italian director known for his true crime inspired movies (everybody should check both THE EMBALMER and FIRST LOVE, but also the exploitation docu-drama Gomorra), new excellent movie about a fish retailer who get obsessed by being part of the Italian version of Bog Brother. Start like an over the top comedy and turns into complete mental breakdwon.
Absoluetly loved it.

Figured I'd post this here. If you can get past Ebert's enthusiastic endorsement of E.T., he also endorsed a lot of amazing directors like Herzog, Fassbinder, etc.

I had no clue about that Goodman thing mentioned in the article, I'll have to track down the book that it's in.

Watched Cube (1997) last night, I think as sci-fi goes it has aged pretty well and still very enjoyable. A lot of "points for consideration" to it as well, certainly a lot more to it than just "stiff acting and shoddy script" that a lot seem to think.

I watched FROM A WHISPER TO A SCREAM last weekend. Directed by Jeff Burr with Vincent Price basically telling stories of a small town. Pretty good & very gory. Even a bit sadistic. I remember renting it on vhs but I think it was under the title "The Offspring".

Been looking forward to this one. From what I've read it seems like a fun and caustic movie. Have been trying to find the Embalmer since a friend recommended it, but so far I haven't found it in any shelves. Looks like I have to order it online.

MUTTERWILD

The Mooring(2012)
Troubled teen girls on wilderness boating trip stalked and killed by houseboat psycho and his love slave.
Enjoyable trash.

Virgin Among The Living Dead(1971)
Euroshock collection cut.

Exterminator 2(1984)
Official sequel. There is another Exterminator 2 that I like even better but isn't an actual sequel. That one starts off with a rooftop skimask gang rape vigilante massacre. Both films are good. This one has a flame thrower.
