OMFG! I am so looking forward to seeing this film when it hits the cinemas next week!

I loved Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat, the clumsy news-anchor from kazackstan and I'm sure he'll be just as good, if not better, as the gay in-your-face Austrian fashion designer, Bruno.

In 1945 the Nazis fled to the moon. In 2018 they are coming back.

The Story

Towards the end of World War II the staff of SS officer Hans Kammler made a significant breakthrough in anti-gravity.

From a secret base built in the Antarctic, the first Nazi spaceships were launched in late ‘45 to found the military base Schwarze Sonne (Black Sun) on the dark side of the Moon. This base was to build a powerful invasion fleet and return to take over the Earth once the time was right.

Now it’s 2018, the Nazi invasion is on its way and the world is goose-stepping towards its doom.

Needless to say, this cast list if ridiculous.  Oh, and it is about a group of mercenaries, secretly hired by the CIA to go into 'the jungle' and bring down a drug baron.  Severe ass-kicking is in order, clearly.

Drag Me to Hell
Dir: Sam Raimi
Cert:12A

I was more than satisified with this film.  As a fan of Raimi's Evil Dead films (no really, I love them) this gave me just what I wanted out of him.  Sure, this is not the greatest horror ever, or even the greatest of the past five years - but it is a lot of fun, providing all the jumps you need and a decent B-Movie plot.
The standout performance of the whole film, which is why I was so satisfied, is Raimi's directing style.  He pays homage to his own, earlier horror works on several occassions and it is great to see that his skill has improved over the years to the point where he can deliver a jump and sustain terror using the simplest of devices.  His trademark 'noises', playful shadows and rattling as things move around a room prove him to still be top of the game when it comes to 'being haunted' type horror.
The acting is not amazing and the story I suppose is somewhat predictable, but for someone who enjoys pointing out references to other films this is a laugh.  And, if your date is up for it, I'd recommend this as a date movie - it's lightweight enough for friendly banter afterwards while scary enough to throw yourselves into each others' arms.

7/10

The Lives of Others (Ger: Das Leben der Anderen) (2006)
Writer & Director: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
German with English Subtitles

This film is excellent.  Really excellent.  One of the best foreign films I have ever seen.  It won the Oscar in 2006 for best foreign film, beating Pan's Labyrinth which in this case I think is a good measure.
The story is set in 80's East Germany, following the parrallel lives of two protagonists.  The first is a well-renowned playwrite and his girlfriend, struggling to express their artistry while under the constant scrutiny of the government.  Their parrallel is the man commissioned with the job of eaves dropping on their entire life for several months.

The characterisations are accurate and sympathetic.  You really begin to care about their stories and the acting, it goes without saying is pitch-perfect.
The direction is excellent.  The feeling of oppression and tension is expertly realised on screen - it is not overplayed or exaggerated but brooding and malicious.  This is aided by both a minimal yet moving score and the delicacy with which the main characters handle their situations.
There is a great sense of humanity in this film also.  It is not merely a bleak look at oppression and the futility of rebellion.  It gives hope and empathy, while also stirring a horror at the things man is capable of.
Rent this out now.  Watch it and enjoy it.

5/5.

British Film Box Set. Pretty bargainous. Just thought it was a nice present idea for someone

My OH brought this a few weeks ago after his boss recommended it's one of those films you've got to see! The main language is French although you can alter than in your DVD Player/Blu-Ray settings so it's dubbed in English - like I did!

To me, this film was very surreal and in some parts didn't make sense to me so I plan to watch it again sometime. I could also imagine it would sound better in French with English subtitles so I could get a better sense of the characters. Probably not for everyone, but still pretty good!
