Eastern Promises
Really liked this one, well paced and well performed (Viggo Mortensen in particular) as Naomi Watts' midwife tries to find out the truth concerning a 14 year old Russian girl who died in childbirth. The trail leads her to people trafficking and the Russian mafia, and to our man Viggo who's a driver and friend to the son of the mafia boss. David Cronenberg hit all the right notes with this, believable characters and his unerring way of showing the true brutality of violence. Good film. Flesh + Blood Medieval actioner from Paul Verhoeven, as Rutger Hauer and his band of mercenaries kidnap the fiancee of young lord in revenge for being betrayed. A young Jennifer Jason Leigh spends most of her time naked in this, using her body to keep Rutger as her protector within the mercs group. I first saw this when I was about 10, the bloke in video city rental shop didnt give a shit if you were underage as long as you paid up and this sordid, bloody affair warped my fragile little mind! Its fairly brainless but quality entertainment.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988). This one is for Novakru. How a silly B-movie can be smart is beyond me, but Killer Klowns is just that. Just about every clown cliché is used and abused in this fun flick, but instead of being corny it transcends into the realms of flat-out funny. For those that hate horror comedies this flick is not for you. As well, keep those kiddies away as this one is twisted enough to turn Bozo into the Devil, unless of course you want to cure them of their childhood. The acting is splendid b-movie bad, but not so much as to be detracting. The effects are actually pretty decent for low budget fun, and the story is simple though original. The killer hijinks are simply carnival sublime. Yoohoo! Merci beaucoup.

Cop Out
Actually a fair bit better than what I was expecting. Nice to see Willis in a comedy role with some action going on too...Morgan is not half as annoying as usual... Kind've takes you back to when every few films was a buddy/cop/action film. If you liked "showtime" you'd probably be alright with this.

Just watched CURTAINS and MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE. It was supposed to be a quadruple feature but I slept through THE RUINS and ROCK N ROLL NIGHTMARE, which, I believe, was the first DV movie.
