The Holy Mountain

I can’t give this film anything lower than 10/10, but if you were to ask me why I liked it so much – I’m afraid I would find it impossible to give you a straightforward answer. Also to just call this simply ‘a film’ doesn’t quite feel right .. it’s maybe best calling this ‘an extraordinarily crafted piece of visual pleasure made to awaken the part of your brain you forgot existed’. It is evident that Jodorowsky has dripped his sweat and blood over each and every shot (big or small) within this extraordinarily crafted piece of visual pleasure made to awaken the part of your brain you forgot existed. From the opening title sequence through to the last frame, my eyelids were firmly set to open for fear I would miss something.. that and the fact that my eyes couldn’t believe what was being projecting through them. So if your after ‘a film’ with a thought provoking narrative that gets you arguing with your chums over dinner and wine – this isn’t for you. Yet.. if your after an extraordinarily crafted piece of visual pleasure made to awaken the part of your brain you forgot existed and gets you happily perplexed with your chums over dinner and wine – this is for you. 10/10Here’s a trailer.

Tin Tin Movie – First Casting Announced

You may or may not be already aware that Herge’s classic character ’Tin Tin’ is to make it to the big screen in a mix of CG and 3D. Two little known directors (Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson) are behind this project which is set to start filming September 2008. So who do you think would be the most likely actor to be cast in this salivating induced project….  yep … surprise surprise … the first cast member announced is Mr Andy Serkis.  I’m not at all shocked by this news (I’m actually relieved), but who (or how many characters) is Andy going to play … Snowy anyone? 

Cocktails For Two

The Spike Jones and the City Slickers BIG hit .. there’s nothing new here, I just watched it recently and fancied sharing it with ya x 

Whose Line Is It Anyway? Ryan Corpsing

I love Whose Line Is It Anyway?  …  These three clips especially tickled my fancy where Collin manages to give Ryan the giggles.  

Black Christmas

 Unlike some other horror movies from the 1970’s (Halloween, Friday the 13th, Suspiria) Back Christmas has unfortunately become a bit of a lost gem. I must admit that I had not seen or heard of Black Christmas until very recently when recommended by a friend.. but I’m really glad I’ve discovered it now. It reminded me of how well they used to make horror movies in the 1970’s, every shot in this lost classic keeps you well and truly on a knifes edge. The film may not be as gory as it’s brothers and sisters from that decade, but it certainly makes up for it in suspense and JUMPS! and it hasn’t dated to badly either after more than thirty years. From the horridly twisted telephone calls to the scary as hell eye that look’s through the crack in the door.. there’s plenty here for all fans of the slasher/stalker genre.. see it NOW. The Duvada also comes with some very informative documentaries that give you a detailed account as to how the film was made. Using interviews from producers and actors, even revisiting some of the main locations.. there’s more here than most highly regarded horror movie packages.  8/10
