Speaking of Bergman, I watched The Virgin Spring last month. Pretty grim and nihilistic for the most part.

That is one of the few I have yet to see. Thank you for reminding me, I shall pick one up from work tomorrow.

nicely executed releases : http://www.filmfreaks.nl/reel23/

I got The Atrocity Exhibition DVD some time ago and it was really good. Faithful to the book to a fault. I haven't got anything else off the site yet though.

I think I use to have the ATROCITY EXHIBITION dvd but sold it off as it wasn't something I would view again. I at least remember looking at the site...

Watched the killer kid's flick, BLOODY BIRTHDAY, the othe rnight. Gets a dvd release this year. Be a good double-feature with DEVIL TIMES FIVE.

Are they still doing Reel 23? Nice first year but the site seems not to have been updated in ages.

don't really know, i got all 5 & a shirt years ago, didn't release new stuff but do offer more/different shirts LOL......could be wrong but isn't R23 a subdivision of Filmfreaks? and they put out LOADS over the years http://www.filmfreaks.nl/

oops, spotted this & didn't see it:


what gripped me most was Vergeef Me/Forgive Me .....harsh filthy reality.


also worth to check are the Mælström dvd's

epic & grim "man vs nature", no happy hollywood endings, all the heroes die. pretty awesome piece of cinema imho

A list of films me and the woman have ploughed through the last few days:

ROBERTO SUCCO (any Italian/French people here care to tell me more about this guy?)
ONE, TWO, THREE (James Cagney and Horst Bucholtz fight an ideological battle in early 60's Berlin)
FORCED ENTRY (fantastic theme, shame about the somewhat limp ending but Joe's Friendly Service indeed!)
FIVE EASY PIECES (wasted talent Jack Nicholson returns to his horribly pretentious family)
LA CONFIDENTIAL
MISHIMA (Paul Schrader's best film by far. A GREAT film!!!)
I STAND ALONE (better than Irreversible)
SS CAMP 5 (naziploitation. Atrocious acting, violence could have been more graphic but for what it is it's a pass)

Plus one episode a day of THE SINGING DETECTIVE. Next is DAY OF THE LOCUST.

Felt like cliche upon cliche. Good music by The The of course. Shame about the film.

I've been lately watching through a 20 movie Ultimate Hammer Collection. As stated somewhere, such a collection has all, great, mediocre and horrible movies. This evenings selection was Quartermass and the Pit, above average definitely. If a movie has both Martians and the devil in it, can it go wrong? Didn't check who has done the score but a lot of it - remind you the movie is from 1967 - could have been from your average experimental noise record. Or actually your above average record, quite possessing it was.

Quatermass. superb film. Check out the 1972 tv film with sir john mills at prof bernard quatermass. mixing paganism si-fi and a amazing electronic score.
Along with dennis potters work ,nigel kneale has had a massive effect on my ifots work.
