THE FOG anno 1980 is a grim classic. Watched it again after feeling the urge reading previous comments here. Still holds up, mastercraft atmosphere - dank and subtly claustrophobic. And what a great soundtrack the score is. So, thanks for the reminder guys!
Been watching a few movies over at mubi stream channel. They do a very good job curating films and always keep it ecclectic. Recent recommended vision was German director Christoph Schlingensief's trash opus TERROR 2000 w Udi Kier in one of the supporting roles as a gun-toothing neo-nazi slash criminal. As of today mubi is also showing Schlingensief's 100 YEARS OF ADOLF HITLER (shot in a wwii bunker utilizing a flash light as only light source over 16 hours - also stars Kier). Mubi also initated an Ozu period now, will re-visit classic tidal flow film TOKYO STORY by Ozu Yasujiro one of these days. True craft on all fronts that one.
Roughed-up ensemble crim flick slash black comedy LOW LIFE also tuned up my hard drive some weeks ago. Not a classic pér se, but I think it worked well despite some faults. Cinematography is especially good and the characters are also fun. Check the trailer online. Kinji Fukasaku's STREET MOBSTER still kills, maybe one of my fav early films of his. Will have to dig forth Cops & Thugs plus Graveyard of honour soon as well. While at it, trawl by youtube and get a glimpse of Jim Greco's short film JOBS? NEVER!! Well crafted skate film, with an aura of Hal Hartley 90s films.
Watching Stanley Donen's ARABESQUE this evening. Same director who did CHARADE - which as Carpenter's above said flick also feature a great score.
Oh yea.... I forgot.... If anyone want to see Hitchcock's THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH over at Mubi for free and get a one week free pass on the platform in the same go PM me your email and name. I got one of three invitations to spare.
UH! Need to get back to ILSA series soon again!!!
