Review: Severed Heads – Dendy Cinema, Sydney, Wed 19th June 2002

4 July, 200215 May, 2017 Film, Industrial, Live 0

I’ve seen a lot of the stuff before over the years but It’s All Good, and Tom Ellard (and I presume Stephen Jones) did a sterling effort transcribing it all to VCD for the big cinema screen. I think the coarse resolution of the old stuff just makes it look more organic and gritty, and suits the nature of the thing. Others disagreed, but some geeks just won’t be told.

Review: Baise-Moi

2 May, 200218 November, 2016 Film 8

Baise-Moi is a MUFF special. A film that’s little more than an amateurish, adolescent exercise in prurience whose stream of apparently-subversive images masks an utterly uncreative, conventional, conservative nature.

24 Hour Party People.

(2002, dir. Michael Winterbottom) Factory Records and its bands occupied thirty to forty percent of my brain between the ages of sixteen and eighteen.

First, let’s get into character. Go find a mirror. Look into it. Go “grrrrrrrrrrruff!” Now hold that look. Hold it … hold it …

Review: Queen Of The Damned

10 April, 200222 July, 2023 Film, Goth 1

As part of a culture, any culture you care to name on the planet, the concept of ‘respect’ is seen to have inherent value. In fact, people throughout history have been acculturated to believe that people must seek the approval and approbation of others. Earning other people’s respect is seen to be inherently worthwhile and worthy of pursuing.

Allow me to destroy what little goodwill and respect I have garnered with the good people of this site, both wonderful posters and vile, mailbomb sending lurkers, with the following review.

Review: The Item

The Item (1999; dir. Dan Clark), from Trillion Entertainment, may possibly be the most fucked-up film of all time. I heartily recommend it.

Review: John Carpenter’s Ghosts of Mars

23 October, 200123 August, 2016 Film 0

I’d give a spoiler warning, but that would require a plot to spoil.

I had in reality already seen this movie. I seem to recall my ex hiring out
“John Carpenter’s Vampires” a couple of years ago. This film was almost
identical and still just as bad the second time around. However, not only did
Mr Carpenter take on directing and executive producing roles, he also composed
the music (which I will not even begin to attempt to describe).

As I attended a preview of this godawful shite someone had the gall to call a
film, it is my civic duty to make sure that no-one else suffers the same agony.
