Troll Hunter.
Worth seeing, but maybe if you have a good second-run cheap theater in your area that shows low-budget semi-parody-delivered-totally-dry Norwegian Troll movies. |

If you can, try and watch La Strada and Bresson's Au hasard Balthazar one after the other. They're almost identical but manage to complement and in a way complete one another. Im not sure if that was Bresson's intention when making Balthazar (I'm sure it wasn't) but, well I'm also sure you'll get my point if you watch them like that. Individually they're both fantastic but placed side by side they become a kind of epiphany. They should be put together in a boxset. |

Just watched:
"Public Housing" by Frederick Wiseman. If you don't know this guy's (very long) films, try to download or find copies now. His latest, "Boxing Gym" filmed in Austin is currently playing on PBS. Also liked "13 Assassins". |

over the weekend I saw Machete and Social Network. Machete was better as a trailer. Social Network was definitely worth the time invested even though I had seen it before.

Watched Ingmar Bergman's "The Touch".... his first English language film and a real wankfest of earlier themes about infidelity and doubt. von Sydow and Bibi Anderson are good though.
Also watched Michael Winterbottom's "Summer in Genoa". Love this guy and his work. I think I'll watch his latest called "The Trip" now. |

Haha I saw SOCIAL NETWORK on tv today and it was hilarious. Just a bunch of rich snob pricks saying smartass things to each other. Was this supposed to be a recreation of actual events? I remember the prereleaser hype promoting the accuracy of the movie, and if SO, wow... these people sure are clever non-fictional smartass billionaires with too much time on their hands! Either way, it was funny shit. I really like Fincher's style -- worked great for THE GAME, FIGHT CLUB, and SE7EN -- and seeing it applied to a movie about smartass "social networkers" was kinda surreal. And strangely entertaining. Even if I didn't like anyone in it or anything about it.
Hey, Henry, I'm a big WINTERBOTTOM fan. You should watch Butterfly Kiss if you haven't, one of my alltime favorites. I'll post some rartings for stuff in another post... |

I am assuming the wink hints at your sarcasm in deeming Faces of Death a "Classic", so no need to run it into the ground. If you want to see ACTUAL DEATH, Death Scenes, Traces of Death, and -- ugh -- EXPLODING VERMANTS (seriously) shows REAL, UNCENSORED death. Faces of Death 1-5 is mostly fake shit, with some real shit too, as most of you know. Either way, all that shit grosses me out a bit. *goes off and watches SLAUGHTED VOMIT DOLLS TRILOGY PART 3: SLOW TORTURE PUKE CHAMBER* |

midori - 9/10
![]() 1992 cult anime movie that was banned when originally released for depiction of animal abuse. It was directed, written and animated by the one guy and it's just a really depressing arty fucked up anime that runs for about 50 minutes. Great melancholy keyboard music also. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Yeah, I was more into "Budd Dwyer shoots self dot aye vee eye" as a child, so I can't really say much.
Either way... death rules! |

Love "Butterfly Kiss". I recently tracked down a couple of Winterbottom's very early TV efforts such as "Forget About Me" and am looking forward to seeing those. |

The last couple of days ...
![]() Black Narcissus (9/10) ![]() If you've not seen this before, please don't be put off by the less than inspiring poster. This is a masterpiece, creepier in its way than almost any horror film you're ever likely to see. And visually, there's not much in all of cinema that even comes close to it. ![]() For a Few Dollars More (7/10) Probably my favourite Leone western (which I'm generally not a huge fan of). This gets the top spot though, largelly for Gian Maria Volonte's El Indio character, for me the most genuinely sinister western movie villain ever (although Jack Palance's character in Shane runs him pretty close). |

ok.. not that I'm asking for a handout, but whats the deal with CG? I've heard it mentioned on this site before, checked it out and heard it mentioned from several dealers I trade/buy dvd-r with. risks of virus and the like? how does it work with the ratio thing? how does one maintain a good ration if they don't have much to upload etc? color me curious as i'm a bit torrent virgin
