Recent fillums wot I and we haz watched include...
The new
Blair Witch film which was so frikken godawful that I won't waste another sentence upon it other than to humbly suggest one is to avoid the stanking turdflop at all costs. Not only shite but also dull, dull, dull which is surely the worst of all sins for a supposed horror flick

In brighter (darker) news,
Rupture was a surprisingly decent indy flick somewhat in the vein of the
Hostel, the first
SAW film and any number of others ilkish of this... only it isn't. It has none of the gore, but way more tension and suspense than the majority of its predecessors, and although it does seriously let itself down once it finally tries to do "The Science Bit" it is still well worth the watch imo.
Most recent viewings was
Closet Monster. A refreshingly original take on the coming of age genre, this film pleased me (and Mrs Me) far more than either of us expected. Part of that originality comes from the fact that this particular coming of age is of a young man discovering his love for a typically "indy movie exotic" German slip of a lad with waspish hips, cheekbones to die for and that laid-back, swoony. way too kewl for skool quality we probably all have for our belobeds. Part of the quirkiness comes from Isabella Rossellini playing at least one talking hamster. Part of that watchability comes from the way it builds upon many other films, makes its nods to them lightly, then adds another layer. Meh, all bullshit aside, it's worth a watch. Mrs Me said it reminder her of Donnie Darko if that helps. I don't disagree.
And in totally unrelated news, one I don't think I posted weeks back when I actually watched it...
The Brothers Grimsby is the best film Sacher Baron Cohen has yet made. IMO and all that. Creased me (and also Mrs Me) up from beginning to end. Genuinely funny and only let down by the kinda shite that sadly seems to let down all Britflicks - you'll know it when you see it, cos we've seen way, way too much of it unfortunately - but very much worth it all the same for the doubled-over, pained with laughter scenes inbetween the raggedy plotstuffs.
