Re: Let's Discuss Potential Movie Purchases/Viewings
Has anybody seen this one?
I don't think I've ever heard of it, reviews are uneven - ranging from calling it a straight up fail on Ashby's part to a good effort that was ruined by shitty studio re-cuts to an interesting but flawed piece of 80s neo(n) noir to a straight up lost masterpiece
usually in cases like this the middle opinions are the closest to true, so probably it's probably something with good elements that doesn't quite gel
The talent on hand is what really got me stuck though - Ashby, Stone, Bridges playing a damaged alkie detective, Andy Garcia playing a scarface-esque coke dealer - there's a lot of potential here.

FYI...i just copped TT BODY DOUBLE in haist since they mentioned that they sold out and that TCM still had a few copies left...
SAE is now claiming they still have some in stock, so I swooped in and grabbed mine. DONT SLEEP.
Re: Let's Discuss Potential Movie Purchases/Viewings
I watched it some time ago. I'd say "interesting but flawed piece if 80s neo noir" nails it. Bridges and Garcia are great, but the script leaves something to be desired... as does the production design.drizzle wrote:Has anybody seen this one?
Re: Let's Discuss Potential Movie Purchases/Viewings
Picked this up today. Never seen it, but heard great things about it. Seemed like a decent price.

Breaking Bad - The Complete Series (November 26, 2013)
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment cooks up a full batch on Nov. 26 when BREAKING BAD: THE COMPLETE SERIES comes to Blu-ray™ in its entirety. One of the most explosive series ever to air on television, the 16-disc set is this year’s must-have gift for the holiday season, complete with all 62 episodes and more than 55 hours of special features. Starring three-time Emmy® winner Bryan Cranston (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series) alongside two-time Emmy® winner Aaron Paul (Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series), the critically acclaimed drama from Sony Pictures Television boasts one of television’s most radical storylines, giving viewers a glimpse into the life of how far a man might go in order to take care of the ones he loves. “Bryan Cranston is still turning in a transformative, unimpeachable performance as Walt, who remains one of the greatest dramatic creations ever to grace our TV screens,” hails USA Today’s Robert Bianco.

About once every three months or so, Amazon will randomly drop the price on most of the sets to below $30. I have about ten of them and never spent more than that on any of them. Never seen them anywhere cheaper.

Re: Let's Discuss Potential Movie Purchases/Viewings
the Voice gave this a surprsingly giddy review, heaping praise of 'this is how you do a dumb bmovie right' variety. It looks like Lord of The Rings done on a Spartacus budget. Also reminiscent of that one Uwe Boll movie where Ray Liotta is an evil wizard, but with more kungfu and less Ray Liotta. I'm so all in on it.

Drafthouse Films Unholsters Ms. 45
At Drafthouse Films we're huge admirers of Abel Ferrara, so there's no greater pleasure for us than announcing our acquisition of the North American rights to Ferrara’s 1981 revenge thriller classic Ms. 45. The film follows a mute garment-district seamstress – played by the late model/actress/musician/screenwriter Zoë Lund – who, after falling victim to multiple unspeakable assaults, ignites a one-woman homicidal rampage against New York City’s entire male population. Now remastered in HD from the original negative materials, Ms. 45 returns to theaters this December and will debut on DVD and Blu-ray uncut for the first time in North America early next year.
The fiercely independent auteur Abel Ferrara debuted with his infamous 1979 D.I.Y. cult classic The Driller Killer, which established his signature fusion of NYC, despair, calculated stylish flourishes and idiosyncratic humor. Two years later, his follow-up feature Ms. 45 starred the then 18-year-old Zoë Lund, and explored similar themes while executing a uniquely feminist entry in the urban revenge subgenre. In Brad Stevens’ biography “Abel Ferrara: The Moral Vision”, Ferrara recalls of the film, “it shook people up to see an innocent person like themselves suddenly becoming a wanton murderer.” Combining the rampaging angst of 1976’s Death Wish and Roman Polanski’s surreal, post-traumatic Repulsion, Ms. 45 returns from the cult underground over 30 years later to reclaim its title as perhaps the most shocking, complex and empowering vigilante film of the 1980s.
“One of the primary missions with Drafthouse Films is to build a selection of films which destroy the barriers between 'art-house' and 'grindhouse," says our Creative Director Evan Husney, "and Abel Ferrara's work embodies just that. Ms. 45 is one of those fringe ‘80s films that has been somewhat marginalized as pure exploitation, so we are beyond thrilled to reintroduce it to a new audience of cinephiles."

What's the deal with All The Boys Love Mandy Lane? Heard (no Amber) about this movie for years, it's now finally getting a limited release.
Somethign about the trailer makes me think there's gonna be a corny twist at the end where she was the killer all along.

I follow drafthouse on twitter and have been checking out everything they have been posting about it. Can't wait to check it out.
The soundtrack is pretty amazing. I have been trying o get a copy.

Re: Let's Discuss Potential Movie Purchases/Viewings
Copped the Code Red release of The Visitor a couple of years back.
Don't get your hopes up! The Visitor is pretty boring even though it briefly has Franco Nero as alien Jesus and John Houston wandering about on roof-tops. Franco Micallizzi's soundtrack on the other hand is dope. I can up it for you, Random, if you want.
Speaking of soundtracks. I've avoided Death Waltz's hipster vinyl OST reissues, but I couldn't pass this up:

We should make a thread of movie soundtracks to share.
