Some DVDs I watched recently:-

Ginger Snaps

Pretty interesting take on the werewolf story, although tying in lycanthropy with the menstrual cycle is nothing new, as Alan Moore did a long time ago in an issue of "Swamp Thing". Still, pretty funny, as the girl has a tail. Basically a drama of two sisters. Revived my interest in the sub-genre and probably rewatching Dog Soldiers.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Saw this ages ago. Needed a rewatching I guess. A bit too long and anti-climactic after the "blowing up the bridge" sequence. No doubt it's Sergio Leone's best, though.

Rio Bravo

Another rewatch. Quentin Tarantino's favourite Western. Superb acting throughout. Favourite part is the Ricky Nelson - Dean Martin duet. About the only John Wayne western I've watched, but I'm getting "The Searchers" soon.

Hostel 2

Lotsa tributes to Italian horror and splatter, with a distinctively Argento-ish death sequence. All said though, not as mean spirited as the first movie and definitely not as inpirational as the source material - makes me hanker for "gialli" like Torso, Deep Red and Delirium. Ending made me cross my legs.

Shrek 3

Jus to finish the trilogy as I've watched the first two. Not really that funny and cringe-worthy in parts (especially the princesses striking back). Hated that hippy sorcerer.

Simpsons Movie

Funny although hardly as macabre as the series. The comic timing is also not as punchy as the series.

Salon Kitty

Supposedly a Nazisploitation movie but this is quite good arthouse porn. I'm a big Tinto Brass fan. This one has midget and amputee porn and bread-penis of Hitler fetishism (don ask).
