    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    And yet it's totally true.

    Hell of a flick if you get the chance to see it. It'll probably swing by on Film4 soon as I saw it on Channel 4, and they usually turn up on the other channel within a few weeks.

    Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide Part 2, Grudge Match, and Lone Survivor:
    http://deadshed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/...s-nasties.html

    1) Moral panic and horror movies get a thorough going-over.
    2) Slightly cringe-inducing jokes about moobs and prostate exams for two cinematic icons.
    3) Watch men fall down a hillside and wince like you've never winced before.

    1) A spooky camera can photograph the future!
    2) Middle-aged men rescue art from the Nazis!

    A favorable review for Monuments Men, MZ? You on Clooney's payroll?

    I don't see what people were complaining about. I dug it.

    It wasn't incredible, but I don't understand why some people hated it.

    It got bogged down in the usual war film cliches and didn't really make any comment on the fact that the allied bombing campaign was more destructive to Europe's historical art than the Germans ever were. The characters were too one note as well. The German every-nazi, the sneaky Russian and the angelic British/Americans don't cut it for me, I'm afraid.

    The biggest problem I had though, was it's failure to be serious. The approach was just too silly for me, with too many snappy one liners.

    It should have and could have been so much better.

    Short Night of Glass Dolls (Aldo Lado, 1971):
    http://deadshed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/...aldo-lado.html

    A highly political giallo from Aldo Lado (Night Train Murders) mired in the murky world of Cold War paranoia and a corrupt elite, co-starring Barbara Bach.

    The Expendables 3, and Cheap Thrills:

    http://deadshed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/...-guns-and.html

    1) All the big names are back (except Bruce Willis), but Ronda Rousey and Antonio Banderas steal every scene they're in.
    2) In which a man chops off his own pinky finger for $15,000.
