What are you watching?

The Comfort of Strangers (Paul Schrader, 1990). See, this is precisely why I'm hesitant to travel on vacation. I'd also watch a sequel where Richard Ayoade and his choice of companion get the better of Walken and Mirren. Kind of awesome, and in the commentary Schrader points out that it was made with Berlusconi bucks, which just adds to the decadence. Probably a double bill with DON'T LOOK NOW would sink Venice for good.

EDIT: apparently Rizzoli bucks, my mistake, but I guess a bunga's a bunga.

savaged (2013)

tarantino mentioned this flick in one of his gazillion podcast appearances over the last year, when he was asked which new exploitation movies he liked. this was not only good, but exceeded my expectations more than I could've ever imagined! basically this is "I spit on your grave", where the raped chick gets possessed by an ancient spirit of an indian chief warrior. it additionally features some of the most convincing nasty rednecks in recent memory. the ending is insane (and gory), watch it!

Gator Bait from the Joe Bob Xmas special last year. Is this out on Blu? What Joe Bob showed looked nice but was 4:3

A few years back, the Sebastians released this one and the sequel on DVD-R in the 4:3 ratio. That's probably what that showing was from. But i don't think there's been a Blu yet. Sure would make a nice double feature.

Dishonored (1931) - I'd forgotten how annoying Victor McLaglen is in this one. He goes through the whole film with some sort'a jaw-clenched sneer on his mug. Luckily, Dietrich is enough of a badass as the street-walker turned secret agent X-27 to make it worth watching. 6/10

[Randy G]

Silent Madness - The first half is a rather blank 80s slasher spiced up with some amusingly poor performances and dialogue but then the last half hour of the film becomes surprisingly effective, strange and suspenseful with an extended chase sequence.

Abominable (2006) - REAR WINDOW meets Sasquatch meets College Girls in Peril. Big monkey fun.

Two nights ago I fell asleep watching New Nightmare. Holds up pretty well as an early version of the nonsense we're currently dealing with with Matrix Ressurections etc. Weird thing though. I went to sleep intact. In the morning I woke up with blood all over my pillowcase and my ear caked in the stuff. Theres two big scratches across the back of my neck starting inside my ear and extending round to my spine. No explanation for this at all. If it was 4 scratches I'd be seriously concerned.

Dom, considering you're in Australia, it was probably some terrifying spider that did that to you.

That, or a dingo mistook you for a baby.

Yeah, I was really excited to see IN THE EARTH show up on Crave. I'll be watching it this weekend.

That's a great film. Another really charming Hepburn film is CHARADE, with Cary Grant. Very Hitchcock-like.

It's been forever and a day since we watched ROMAN HOLIDAY, need to correct that, but we re-watched CHARADE last year and it is fantastic.

Watched UNSTOPPABLE, a surprisingly good film with Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. Plenty of action and a solid supporting cast. A late return to form for Tony Scott.

Unstoppable was surprisingly good, and I say that as a fan of Tony Scott.

[Nabonga]

Charade is excellent. Totally agree.

Crisis In Six Scenes

Woody Allen's tv show. It's pretty entertaining. His usual
schtick. Well written if nothing else. Miley Cyrus plays the
most irritating person in the world in this. I liked the running
gag of her eating all his food.
