  1. Night of the Hunted (La Nuit des Traquées) (1980)

    First film I've seen by Jean Rollin and liked it. Good plot characters. Disliked the fact that it had a 15 minute sex scene I mean really there was no reason for it to be that long and again the transfer to DVD wasn't very good. I'm now interested in seeing Fascination and Grapes of Death not sure about other films by Jean Rollin.

  2. Orphan (2009)

    Had a lot of flaws but overall I liked it. The girl who played Esther did a great job at that role. By the way, Transylvania is a part of Romania, not Russia.

    Vacas (1992)

    About the rivalry between two families from 1870 (Carlist War) up to 1936 (Spanish Civil War). The title translates to cows a bit confusing as to what the cows have to do with anything. But the camera takes shots at the cow seemingly careless in its gaze and at one point the camera takes up the vantage point as if it was peering at the world around it. And what does it see war, bloodshed, etc. Also how how history repeats itself. Great film highly recommended. Only problem was the transfer to dvd wasn't as good as I would have liked it to be and the subtitles from Spanish to English were a bit wrong at times.

  3. I guess it says a lot about the state of Hollyweird when some of the movies I've enjoyed most recently have come out of Pixar Studios.

    Jahfin I recommend these movies if you're tired of the Hollywood same old. Fairly recent films that I think are very good.

    Subculture of skinheads in the 80's set in England a bit after the Falklands War with Argentina. Good interesting film.

    Good follows this Colombian immigrant in New York City who has to find a way to make money fast in a place she's unfamiliar with after her husband leaves her.

  5. PlaceCalledChiapas.DVD.jpg

    Documents the Zapatista uprising and movement in response to NAFTA and rising neo-liberalism of Mexico and its disastrous effects on the indigenous Mayans in Chiapas. It was alright just to get a general idea but you're much better off reading the writings of Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos.
