"Brother" by Takeshi Kitano
I watched it yesterday for first time, so my first impression is that Brother is very violent yakuza vs.mafia themed film with lot of shouting, shooting and fingers cut-off and one seppuku. Add on that a little amount of quite dark humour and almost no soundtrack at all and you`re watching it very intensely, my popcorn consumption was far less average. Very cool movie, so cool that I could watch it only once per three years. |

Just.watched.this.film..It.was.not.too.bad.
Quote.from.IMDB After dropping you in the action right from the start, the movie keeps coming with constant laughs and good action. There were not a lot of scares in the movie, other than the few obvious scenes where you could see one coming, but horror is not what the director was going for in this film. Laughs, however, come often and from many different directions. Jessie Eisenberg's nerdy, insecure 'Columbus' character and Woody Harrelson's redneck zombie-killing 'Tallahassee' play very well off each other and provide plenty of memorable moments.

I am sitting watching Arsenic And Old Lace a fantastic black comedy about two maiden aunts who poison lonely men and have 13 bodies hidden around the house. It stars Cary Grant, Raymond Massey, Jack Carson and Peter Lorre.
Its a great film and I forgot that I had the DVD so just dug it out this morning, it is one of those films that I never tire of.

The Raven (1963)
I have just been watching The Raven on DVD by courtesy of tabler: thanks for the loan mate!
The Raven actually has a very strong cast, with Vincent Price in the lead as, unusually, a (mostly) good guy, retired sorcorer Dr Craven; Peter Lorre in classic back-stabbing form: Lorre: Let me go! Oh please let me go! I don't care what happens to the others! Karloff: You really dont care what happens to your friends? Lorre: Why, no...Should I? Karloff: Such perfect treachery fills me with admiration... Boris Karloff, much more suave and articulate than in Frankenstein mode, is the lead villain and gives brings wit and charm to the task of being thoroughly bad. He is ably assisted by femme fatale Hazel Court, second wife of Dr Craven, who convinced her husband she was dead in order to run off with Karloff's Dr Scarabus and enjoy the finer things in life, conjured up for her by a more extravagent magician, and because she prefers bad boys. There is also an early outing for Jack Nicholson, before he became an icon of sixties counter-culture, as Peter Lorre's not too bright son: Nicholson: Why father...I thought you'd left us? Lorre: Move around my boy, I cant reach the knots from here. Did you really think I would leave you and run away? Nicholson: Well... Lorre: You think exactly like your mother. The Raven is a lightweight horror movie spoof, nothing more ambitious than that, and it is about 90 minutes of honest fun, laced with some excellent comic diologue and sharp sight gags. For example, Lorre and Price run out of dead man's hair for a spell they are creating and visit Price's father's sarcophagus for a top-up. First they remove the heavy silk shroud from his embalmed body and neatly fold it four times between the two of them like they are folding bed linen in a laundrette: this combination of the gothic with the utterly banal is typical of the entire film and made me giggle almost throughout. If you liked the original b/w tv series The Addams Family and The Munsters then this is for you.

I am watching a film on BBC1 right now called Small Engine Repair starring Iain Glen and Steven Mackintosh about small town Ireland and an aspiring country singer.
The film is fairly mediocre but the reason I am posting this is that the soundtrack is absolutely superb Iain Glens singing and Guitar work is just great (unless its dubbed), its like a cross between Johny Cash and Neil Diamond. Infact tomorrow I think I will try and get the soundtrack.....oh bugger its just finished as I'm typing this.

Unfortunately this didn't show up in my BBC region - did you happen to notice if Ms Clarke obliged us by dis-robing?

No afraid not (I wasnt even aware she was in it) but believe me, the songs are great (and I am not even a country fan).
