What'd you think? I know Romero was demoralized with the production after suffering the all-to-common studio interference, it being his first studio film. Funny that his next one, The Dark Half, also was a studio-backed project. All things considered, I've always really liked Monkey Shines. Even if a lot of Romero wanted in the film got lost to the editor, what's there is a pretty damn original horror movie. Whoever trained the monkey deserves some sort of award. Amazing creature they found for Ella.

Thought it fucking ruled, I loved the "and you, you're a clinical cunt" scene. It definitely had a vibe of family friendly garbage but anytime it almost became that, something insanely cruel or hilarious would happen and steer it back into horror territory. I can see myself watching it many more times in the future.

Ana Lily Amirpour is Directing a Female-Fronted Remake of ‘Cliffhanger’!

lol.

I watched her movie A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night a while back. It had an interesting premise - a young Iranian vampire girl walking the seedy streets of Tehran - so it kinda challenged ideas of female vulnerability and her hijab, instead of being a implement of oppression, becomes a useful weapon of disguise.

I didn't think the story was all that compelling but it had a cool Jarmusch type vibe.

 

[CiG]

Yeah that's kinda what makes this a weird/disappointing move for her, since that and The Bad Batch were at least interesting and now she's going to do some throwaway gender-swap remake.

NW:

Looks cool! How is it?

The director's comments suggest it might be more than mere gender swap remake; I'll suspend my judgment for now.

Low budget garbage with the talking head from Re-Animator........so in other words great! You should check it out

10 to Midnight fucking rules, easily one of my favourites in Bronson's career. So many of the shots are surprisingly amazing considering what you might usually expect from a Bronson film. The lighting and the tension, the use of violence and the purposeful way the blood is smeared on walls and flesh, it's so visceral, almost like a De Palma film or something.

Watching this one next:



There's a kind of lukewarm air about this film but I remember liking it, hopefully it still holds up.

 

[rms]

It's really good

 

[CiG]

Agreed, and it feels like a TV movie but I looked it up and it's not one. Trippy, but yeah I like it a lot.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Currently watching Predator. Forgot how much I love basically anything 80s Arnie.

Filming for the Black Widow movie starts in June according to Johansson herself. I rarely get excited for upcoming comic book movies anymore but this is one I've been wanting since the MCU started.
