The Eye (Gin gwai)
Mediocre ghost story in which bursts of sped-up film and of quick cuts are a lame substitute for real cinematic suspense and horror. Plot is alright up until about the halfway point.
Zombi 5: Killing Birds
Absolutely horrible. It was like a student film from a C student. The overly loud sound of chirping insects will drive you nuts. Literally nothing happens until about 56 minutes in the film.
Crimson
Gangster/mad scientist movie that is only worth watching tsee the satyr burlesque number in the middle of the film.
Murder Party
What’s not to love about a gory thriller/comedy that makes fun of art scene-sters.
Zombi 4: After Death
I thought it was better than Zombi 3, but not by much. More gore, and an effective opening. Paper thin plot and characters after that.
Zombi 3
Fulci literally phones this one in. A few interesting shots, but mostly poorly paced and horribly acted with no tension
Children of Men
A great sci-fi film with lots of long-shot action sequences that will have you wondering how the heck they co-ordinated the action.
Bacon Dogs
I’ve Added a Quick Links Nav to the Site
A little maintenance note here: I added a few links to the home page in the form of that quick links widget off to the left. If you click the bar at the top it disappears. Pretty neato keano I’d say.
Twilight Zone for Your Listening Pleasure
Yesterday I came across this incredible Web log, Twilight Zone for Your Listening Pleasure. This guy posts tons and tons of great garage and rock ‘n’ roll records with large cover scans and links to the full albums in MP3 format. Usually, you just click in to the comments of each blog post and you are given a link the the MP3s in zip format. Cut-n-paste the link and you can grab the files for free. There is a limit of one package download per hour, but it’s worth the wait to get your ears on some of these comps.
