Hi everyone- Newer member, just had to write in about Kevin Smith's new flick, Jersey Girl. I've been a fan of his for ages, every since the indie classic,...
Disgusting, vile and just not funny. Nearly as bad as A Room For Romeo Brass. Like soap operas for Sun-reading football hooligans. Not worth me getting worked...
I could've got a delegate's pass for the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival (I co-wrote a short that was screened). I could've got in to films for free. I...
Hey man I'm still here talking. However there seems to have been such a run of crap films in the cinema lately, that I haven't been able to muster the...
It's by chance that I happen to have watched this film over the Easter weekend. It could so easily be a cheap, clichéd modern retelling of the story of Jesus...
I missed Laurel Canyon at the cinema, so can't really comment, but from what I've read, this film is very 'sexually liberal' (threesomes, and suggestions of...
oh, i put this on my (way too long) online rental queue after seeing Arcand's superb 'The Barbarian Invasions'. I'll move it up now, thanks! ... Yahoo!...
No I think what you meant to say, was A ROOM FOR ROMEO BRASS is the best British film since KES. Anyway leaving that aside when is OLYMPIA on ? as I would love...
wow, mike. cheers. never heard of it, but have added it to my online rental queue! have you seen any of his other films? are they available in the uk? i think...
'visual drag'! so THAT'S why it was screened! and the festival has finished, sorry. but remember to check it out next year! search through the feather boas and...
Yes, Damnation is on the Werkmeister DVD. I find it a lot tougher going than WH, but it's interesting. Mike mob61uk ... online rental queue! ... uk? i think...
Powerful stuff indeed. I'm not very familiar with the true history of the French in Algiers, but I understand that the film gives a fairly accurate picture. ...
I've not seen it myself, but many critics (including Susan Sontag) rate Bela Tarr's 1994 film "Satantango" as one of the great films of the 1990s. Apart from...
It's all quite ridiculous, of course, but in a thoroughly enjoyable way. The strutting Flynn often looks preposterous – especially when he thinks acting...
hi guys Cool group!! I have just joined it, as I am desperate for some new comments!! I have to prepare myself for my dissertation and I was wondering if any...
wow, mona. cool films to write about. first thoughts: you probably know already, but artificial eye are about to re-release the three colour films all together...
Hi Damien Loads of thanks for your responds, it has been the best so far;) I know! They are going to release the box set, but unfortunately I have already...
Hello all, Just a quick hello and a quick question. I am searching for a film called Bride of War (1998), and cannot find it anywhere. Has anyone seen it?...
It was passed by the BBFC in 1998 (cert 12). The distributor was Sgrin - Media Agency for Wales. How much of a release outside Wales it got, I don't know - I'm...
Thanks Gary. I really appreciate the information. I recently found a movie called Solomon & Gaenor which is also Welsh and was only available in North...
No no no, not the sequel, I would have said Volume 2 in that case wouldn't I. Also before we kick off, let me also say that apart from seeing ENTER THE DRAGON,...
Thanks for the info Gary, a censorship problem wouldn't have occured to me, but I guess in colour it would have been quite a bloodfest. I was joking about the...
With regards the black and white sequence: Yeah, it was shot in colour. You can tell it's not black and white film. (Also, part of it was shown in colour on...
re: masculine/feminine i think both of these films are intrinsically feminine. the whole red thing in cries and whispers seems very womb-like to me. and the...
Well, I rented it! (I realised I had read about it... some weirdo film with a whale in it... in sight and sound...but thanks for recommending it) Very strange...
Just to reiterate: Artificial Eye are considering a dvd release of Satantango, but are waiting to see how the Werckmeister Harmonies dvd sells first. Has...
A wartime melodrama which depicts a mythical village England, where everyone knows their place and is happy with their lot. Social claptrap, or course, but I...
