Great story of police corruption by the great Sidney Lumet starring a sweaty, overweight, violent Nick Nolte

all the incidental music appears to be Axelrod.
which is nice.

Charlie's clearly a music geek. He has posted Spotify playlists of all the music to his Twitter feed. There's some good stuff there.

Just watched the full length version of Young At Heart - 'Fix You' had me in pieces. Again. The Y@H chorus turn a pretty average song into something beyond words.

EDEN LAKE yesterday... somehow slipped under my radar but was picked up in a clearance sale (10 DVDs for £20). Quite liked in a Britified Deliverance meets Funny Games kinda way.... but... whereas my prejudices on the American outback certainly can imagine demented banjo-playing rednecks terrorizing the out-of-towners my mind was during the movie (especially concerning its ending) wondering wether it was realistic for the UK - it did not fit in with my prejudices on the British countryside... I could imagine it happening up in the Northeastern-most parts of Finland perhaps.... but my view of British countryside is too shaped by watching too much things like Jeeves&Wooster as a kid or something...

Watched "Sherlock Holmes" last night. Enjoyed it more than any of the other Guy Ritchie fiilms I watched recently...
"Sometimes I get a hot ear..."
Lonely Jelly
Oof, Deliverance!
Ugly Custard
I loved this one, but felt it more like middle class vs under class rather than Deliverances' inner city vs countryside, and it wasn't as easy to like the smug "good guys" as in Deliverance.
Lonely Jelly
Agreed on the "good guys", but I don't particularly like the "good guys" in Deliverance either...
As we don't have such an obvious class society over here in Sweden, at least not with so much impact on everyday life as I get it does have in the UK - maybe I'm missing some of the point with the movie?
I didn't really interpret it as underclass but more as bored teens in the country where there's not much to do except for mischief and how all that really got out of hand under the leadership of an obvious psycopath... well... in fact the class issue didn't enter my mind until you mentioned it...

Been watching HEROES, not to impressed with this series and SONS OF ANARCHY, ok so far, only 2 episodes in.

Possibly, that film is very much about class and this perceived "chav" underclass that has been all over the news for the last few years. Some of my friends found the portrayal of the youths actually offensive (in pandering to these tabloid "broken-Britan" type fears) though I reckon the film gets away with it by treating the posh guys just as badly."As we don't have such an obvious class society over here in Sweden, at least not with so much impact on everyday life as I get it does have in the UK - maybe I'm missing some of the point with the movie?"

a friend of mine makes short 'comedy' films...
warning...it's pretty damn depraved so the easily or even not easily shocked should not watch, but those with a very immature sense of dark wrong humour might just laugh as much as I did...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZKUXYqOvrc
am sharing it cos I don't know how long it'll last on youtube and I think from an artistic point of view it needs to be seen..
be warned - some very shocking scenes involving black puddings ,drills and a deranged hippie called Penny who can feel your energy....
it's like 'bottom' do porn vs the texas chainsaw massacre

I saw 50 Dead Men Walking, a film about an IRA informer that doesn't have any Irish people in the lead roles, so there's quite a bit of strange quacking going on, especially from flame-haired Rose McGowan.
The lead actor is good though, as is Ben Kingsley. It's a pretty good tense thriller until, sadly, it turns into a Bourne movie at the end.

we watched DIG! last night. did'nt really know much about either band before watching. painful viewing at times but so bloody funny.
YEE VOOLURES-AWL!

Saw The Road starring Viggo Mortensen. Great post-apocalyptic human drama with potential to be a classic IMO. Recommended.
The Horseless Headman
Really great, and occasionally darkly humorous, dissection of a typical Japanese family as they navigate through freefall and emerge bruised and battered the other side.
Haunting incidental music, remarkable silence throughout and as perceptive a film about Japan in the recession as you could wish to see.
To infinity - and beyond!
Lonely Jelly
Well, yeah - I think the portrayal of the youths are what made it harder for me to "believe" or "buy" or how you wanna put it... I don't know why I feel I can believe Deliverance more though as I'm sure it's just as sterotyped and turned up to the extreme concerning the portayal of the bad guys...

Penny Serenade
Heavy 78 and Victrola action in this 1941 tearjerker as shellac-addicted Irene Dunne leafs through her 'record album', playing syrupy hits that bring flashbacks of the laughter and tears of her marriage to Cary Grant.
In 1940s record shops they apparently had someone who played the sheet music for you so you could tell if it was good or not, and the listening booth was the size of a kitchen. They also whistled en masse while they danced.
Horrible cute doomed child: "I bought you a record, because you love records and you and daddy love each other."

Permissive - It cam yesterday - twice in one night -
I thought "Groupie Girl" was bleak, but quite funny in places - this is just bleak...
The soundtrack is a winner too... well worth a purchase...
Although was feeling a bit robbed - if only someone had filled late night BBC2 or CH4 with this and similar films in the 80s - life would have been so much different...
In OST LP of this would be great - must be on someone's list...

The band in the film apparently was made up of members of Mungo Jerry and Comus, so presumably they're on the soundtrack as well?

Lindsay Shentoff - worth watching as a historical document - bleak -Wow!!! A Lindsay Shentoff film worth watching??? He's renowned for some of the worst schlock ever.....
Schlock - it could easily fall in that bucket, but based on the subject matter and music it just falls the right side...
Hearing the Forever More and Comus tracks (particularly the Comus stuff) in the context of film is quite odd...

Certainly not Gareth Hunt's finest moment and fairly typical of Shentoff's 'oeuvre'.....

I think there is merrit - in the clip... If this had been a Nescafe advert in the 70s sales would of gone through the roof...
Top tassle action there too

we had mini documentary festival here (actually it was Helsinki's festival, we were given some films to watch, like in old times).
I watched three good films.
Videocracy - funny documentary about Italian TV, half-naked ladies, B*rlusconi, modern Robin Hood and wannabe reality stars. it made me want to see only Italian TV all the time. film was fun, full of weird characters, though was bit of lacking investigative criticism. i also started to think something like this might very much happen over here, as mayor of Tallinn is also quite a character like B.
Red Chapel - it just won Sundance too. it was hilariously fun (+sad) documentary about North Korea. Danish film maker takes two comedians to N. Korea for cultural exchange, lot of post-irony and honesty and surrealism. though i would have liked they were singing ""Spasticus Autisticus" instead of "W*nderwall". I'd like to know if Danes on board like also this film.
Magnetic Man - that's something for all music lovers. hearty film about Finnish folk/prog singer Pekka Streng, who died young, but was able to release two albums before. it was nice to study about his life. most of audience had never heard about him, one friend, like myself, knew his more uptempo song "Puutarhassa" + some other tracks we had got because of that track. if nothing else, then film got few new fans over here, like i heard after screening.
