The Offence looks good:

Tried it a couple years ago and turned it off about half way. Let me know if it's worth sticking it out.

Just watched Nightcrawler, came across it on Netflix, hadn't heard of it but I'm more out of the loop with films than I am with music so no surprise there. Jake Gyllenhall playing a nightcrawling news-videographer, ghoul-for-profit. Enjoyable, at times has a feel of Refn-lite perhaps.

The Offence will be one I try to find as cheap as possible.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a fairly well made horror film. Not your run of the mill plot but I figured it out pretty quick. The best thing about the film is that it has pretty good sound design. Lots of creepy sound efx along with a great location.

Also, The Green Room for the second time. Still pretty good; I like that the goon that started everything is the only person that doesn't get fucked up.

That's a nice one. I watched it a few years ago after seeing Red Letter Media review it briefly in one of their roundup videos. Otherwise, apart from a few Finnish movies like Vyöhyke (available with subs on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwkIaJX3hmg) I basically only watch RLM reviews these days. There are books to be read, drinks to be drunk and noise to be noised.

the offence is, to me a really good watch, seeing a man deteriorate and explode.
this film was one of a two film deal to get sean connery back to play james bond.
think the other may havebeen zardoz

Another great film from Sidney Lumet! Bringing together Connery and Ian Bannen ten years after one of the other greats by Lumet, The Hill.

I'm watching the Ghost In A Shell Stand Alone Series... It's really good.

[rocksoff]

Couldn't get into Stand Alone Project as much as I like the first two GITS films. I have a bit of a low anime tolerance though...

The Hero & the Terror- lame Chuck Norris cop vs serial killer film. Very tame. Only a couple of scenes of piled up corpses in the killer's hideout along with a few fight scenes plus some dull drama. Avoid.

Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead- crime flick with a well-known cast: Treat Williams, Chris Walken, Andy Garcia, Steve Buscemi. Kind of corny, tries to hard to be cool or whatever. Treat Williams' character is a shit-eating violence thug and Buscemi is a sly hit man. Forgettable.

Shin godzilla was less than expected.
A godzilla film lacking godzilla and a sort of authorities procedural

[aububs]

yeah 75% of shin godzilla is taken up with bureaucratic office politics and has no godzilla

honestly i loved it

it's a feature length live action "angel attacks" episode of evangelion, basically

Agreed!

Weird that it comes up i was just about to post about Shin Godzilla. Watched it foe the first time on Thursday. Amazingly AmazonPrime only had the US dub which i realized after I ordered. Aside from the shitty dubbing it was pretty great. I kinda liked the shitiness of the CGI and godzillas cold, fishlike eyes. And also the Japanese nationalism themes. Theyre still so butthurt about those atomic bombs...

[aububs]

the creepy crawling pre-evolved weird bug godzilla really freaked me out

[Euro Trash Bazooka]

I LOVED "Shin Godzilla" (watched it in the plane on my way to Tokyo just as it came out.) I really like the fact we're following politicians in the film, and I feel like the tension kept increasing and never stopped. It's a really cool take on the Godzilla genre.

Also, when Godzilla' spine starts glowing and he emits rays, my child self couldn't help shaking in awe.

I think Audition was mentioned recently? I read that Shout! no longer has the U.S. rights so, most likely, Arrow will release their UK edition over here and they may actually be doing a brand new transfer, which, would be awesome.

Yesterday, I watched Night of the Strangler which has no strangler but has a cool sniper-killer along with a lot of harsh racist dialogue ("You let a degenerate nigger inside your body?!?"). I caught it on Turner Classic Movies & Vinegar Syndrome released it on dvd last year.

Also, Eden Lake, a violent British film about young hoodlums tormenting a nice couple in the woods. The E.T.-style bmx chases are a bit lame but the ending is pretty fucking grim.
