One Eyed Monster.  Ron Jeremy heads up to an Alaska mountain top to film a porno.  An alien infilitrates his penis, detaches from his body, and starts to kill off the crew.

It's not funny, it's not scary, and they show one pair of average boobs.  How did this film get made?

I'm guessing on the premise that suckers like you would watch it anyways?

watched the latest Bruce McDonald movie "Pontypool" - a nice twist on the Zombie tale. about a zombie plague caused by... well that would be a spoiler... so I'll just say it was well done, with some snappy camera work and good acting. Solid adaptation as well by Tony Burgess (no relation afaik) from his own novel "Pontypool Changes Everything".

Last night I watched "The Friends Of Eddie Coyle" (1973) By Peter Yates. Starring Bob Mitchum, Peter Boyle, Alex Rocco, etc. great looking early 70's Heist-y picture with a bit of a rambling Nashville feel, set in Bahsstann.

loose story, great characters, dialogue. Mitchum constantly talking utter nonsense but in a scary way so gets to mostly do what he wants. clever and yet bleak.

Great unheralded/legendary flick. brought to glorious DVD by Criterion.

Now they need to get on that Fat City release asap. Oh also Farewell My Lovely. speaking of Mitchum. that'd be an awesome Criterion release.

8.5 low level hoods trying to make a living while ratting each other out every chance they get outta 10

oh ps some great actual Hockey footage from a 72' Bruins/Blackhawks game. Bobby Orr and etc looking great not a frickin helmet in sight.

Blood the Last Vampire- Weird. Some scenes are definatly ripped right from the anime which is cool but others are just...not fitting. The special effects are quite crappy. Very.....bad movement on the monsters. Wasn't able to watch it all the way through despite loving the anime.

Saw the new HP movie today.  Big meh.  The big fight at the end was nixed.   Just seemed like all the wrong parts of the book were dragged out in the movie.

I liked it, it was the most enjoyable one I had seen since the third one.

The "big fight" at the end was sorta meh in the book.  They left in the whole point of the fight.

Well done film and I look forward to catching the two last ones.

I believe the last book is being split into two movies?

It is. There's going be 8. Book #7 is 2 movies.

What I'm starting to Dislike about the HP movies is that they explain absolutely nothing.

You know why he's the half-blood prince, couldn't you fucking tell us? Stupid BS.

Going to make a special trip back to NY this weekend to catch some of the Nicholas Ray retrospective (with new 35mm prints!) at the Film Forum, and the new Agnes Varda movie.

Most of George V. Higgins' works take place in Bahstahn.  Read the book.
