Welcome to my blog, if you are looking for reviews of the latest releases then I would suggest taking a look at some of the other excellent blogs mentioned to the right of this blog, for I review an eclectic mix of films from any era and any country and have sadly little time for the latest film news.
Enjoy my blog and don't hesitate to comment, I will answer without delay!

I'm back!

You may have noticed (well, I hope you did anyway) that I haven't been active for the past ten days or so, this lapse is entirely due to the fact that the area I live in lost access to the internet for that whole period of time :(

Well, now I'm back online and I see I've got a lot to catch up with, I really can't wait to read all of the excellent reviews and other such things you guys have written, and I assure you that I'll be writing some soon.

I'm glad to be back, for I missed the intelligent discussion you guys provide and your interesting reviews.

My next review will be of Werner Herzog's debut film, Signs Of Life.

    Well, I'm glad that you're back!

    I can't wait to hear what you think about "Signs of Life." It's a personal favorite of mine!

    Welcome back to the netherworld of the internet! I saw all the Kinsky films except Hosferatu but am currently de-fascinated with Herzog, so look forward to viewing his first born vicariously.

    Thanks guys.

    Nathanael, you'll probably agree with my review then because I enjoyed it a lot as well!

    S.M.Rana, how could you be de-fascinated with Herzog not only is his work fascinating but so is he as a person, anyway Nosferatu is pretty great but I have yet to see the original...
    Herzogs work with Kinski is pretty impressive though, apart from Cobra Verde which was a big disappointment...
    Have you seen My Best Fiend, a documentary made by Herzog explaining his complex relationship with Kinski?

    The strange African dance and song rhythms of Cobra Verde were particularly bewitching. I once rented My Best Enemy (Liebster Fiend) but did not manage to see it for some reason. My de-fascination is because he films extraordinary things, whereas I am more interested in ordinary things, which are fascinating enough.

    I agree , but I thought the films pacing and almost non existent storyline really brought it down.

    I can understand your fascination with ordinary things, I often feel like watching something ordinary but the majority of films I enjoy are of extraordinary things...
