Last week or so:
Apostasy -brilliant British film about the cult of religion.
The Killing of Sister George -big favourite of mine with Beryl Reid. Lots of censorship when this was made but it proves what you can get away with if you're smart.
Things to Come -not seen it yet but anything with Huppert in it is worth a look.
Pool of London -not seen it.
La Notte -beautiful film. Slowly getting through buying a massive backlog of Criterion USA titles. Must have a wish list of 30!
Apocalypse Now -that's my homebrew UHD with 3 discs out of the 6 disc Steelbook and reusing my old
Bob Peak Paramount DVD artwork.
Pharos of Chaos -brilliant and sad documentary on Sterling Hayden (brigadier general in
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) where the filmmakers just follow him around for a week in France and on his canal barge.
Roman Polanski: A Film Memoir -best documentary I think on Polanski as he was under house arrest when it was made so maybe he was a bit more open than he should have been (legal advice:
Giuliani, Parnas & Fruman LLC).
Chained -not seen that but it has Vincent D'Onofrio and is directed by Jennifer Lynch who made the brilliant
Surveillance (
AVForums review) and ever since has just been making tat TV stuff. The Steelbook in Germany apparently has some violence added.
The Martian -great South Korea release with some lenticular love.
The Tree of Life -wonderful film from Malick.
The Diary of a Teenage Girl -really enjoyable film from the director of
Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Kidnapping Freddy Heineken -not seen it but it looks a very interesting true story and has Rutger Hauer. Germany Steelbook.
Waking The Dead -one of my favourites from the early 2000s and with a great cast.
The Take -1970s the way it should of been with Billy Dee Sho'nuff Williams
Glory -not seen it since VHS.
Conan The Barbarian -never seen it (working backwords with Schwarzenneger). Looks bare bones (nothing on the case) for extras but it's loaded with the US extras except the commentary.
The Fly -not seen it since VHS and I struggled with it not sure I ever got more than 60mins into it. I don't like flies.
And since I'm now a Hellboy fan I've been buying some tat:
I have that cool looking bust release on the way.
Poundland/British Heart Foundation:
Never seen any of them. Will watch anything with Nic Cage and I seen Melissa McCarthy in that video below and she was brilliant in
Can You Ever Forgive Me? -worth the risk for £1.50-£2.00. I still watch the odd Kevin Costya film but he obviuosly struggles for money to make them.
