Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans

Pretty much what you would expect with the teaming of Herzog & Cage

I enjoyed it

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus: Pure Gilliam. I loved it. I can see that many people would outright hate it much like every other Gilliam film though. The work around for Heath's death was perfect. Overall a simply visually stunning film.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer: Not my first time watching this one, but I was in the store and saw the Blu-Ray release and had to grab it. Unfortunately it's not widescreen so a Blu-Ray release seems almost pointless. But it's still a great movie. Very intense and disturbing to say the least and holds up quite well given how long ago it was originally released.

Dario Argento's Deep Red
8.5/10:)David Hemmings was excellent in this compelling horror.

How does a film shot on 16mm look on Blue ray with a big TV?

Better than say watching the dvd on a big, high quality tube tv, but not by much. It's cleaner and smoother, but nowhere near the difference you see between a standard dvd and a bluray. I guess the main bonus for getting the bluray here is the extra features like the making of documentary and whatnot.

One of the few movies I still hang a "disturbing" tag on.

Paranormal Entity (2009). First of all, what a total rip-off. That Asylum can get away with such shenanigans is amazing. What is more amazing is that i actually liked this low budget rip-off that was purportedly made for some eleven thousand bucks. The scares are much more prevalent than in Paranormal Activity, and the story is a tad darker. In fact, the story itself is different enough to allow this one to stand on its own, rip off or not. Yeah, the acting kinda sucked, but the inspirational terror that it instilled made up for it. Production value was probably greater than what ya'd expect for such a low budget affair, so i say kudos for such a perfect exploitation of someone else's ingenuity. Late.

The fact that most of the murders are shown after the fact with the sounds lightly played over the slow motion view of the aftermath is what really does it for me. It forces the viewer to imagine what transpired and as anyone into horror knows, the viewer's imagination will always trump having the scene played out for you.

It still blows me away that Siskel & Ebert called it "a powerful and important film, brilliantly acted and directed." It's really not a film you would expect mainstream critics to back at all.
