Who the hell is interupting my Kung Fu?!!




Now I'm no lover of spoof type films generally speaking, but after watching Black Dynamite I thought I need to recommend it to people. It's more than just a genius spoof on Blaxploitation genre flicks. It's a totally inspired comedy that I believe will not only stand as a future cult classic, but would be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of their knowledge or lack thereof of it's target genre. Without a shadow of doubt the funniest film I've seen in years.



Out in February (in the States at least) on DVD and Blu-Ray. Do yourself a favour buy it, watch it, laugh your ass off, watch it again with mates, recommend it to others and sit back and take comfort in the knowledge that you've helped a great cult comedy!!!





I won't post the soundtrack yet as it's still available, but it's a great one. In fact it's a great 2! You can buy the incidental and OST. Both limited and sure to become future collectors pieces.




Menu for tonight Spaghetti Western style!




Kinda grew up on Spaghetti Westerns (having a Dad who was into the ones with Clint!) and I haven't watched a good one for ages so I watched Il Grande Silencio. Never seen it before although I know Corbucci's other big film Django. One word really... Wow!!! This film is well paced, beautifully shot in an interesting landscape, and is generally well acted. Kinski giving a particularly haunting performance. Recommended to all but the most hardened against Spaghetti Westerns!!!


Awesome soundtrack too!

Suspiria Blu-ray for pre-order

As you should all have heard by now Dario Argento's surreal horror masterwork Suspiria is soon to be released on Blu-Ray in the UK. Just thought I'd mention it as it's up for pre-order at Amazon.co.uk and Play.com. Been holding off rewatching Suspiria, since I heard it was due out on Blu, so once I've watched it I'll try to get a review up.

Oh yeah, happy New Year (if you place any relevance in the Gregorian calendar!)

Blu-Rays residing in the to be watched pile!

The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue

Photobucket

Got both of these beauties on Blu-Ray from Blue Underground. Can't wait to watch 'em, I've had a sneak preview of both and they've NEVER looked better. Insanely good prints considering the age and origins of these films.
