Bad Lieutenant

Harvey Keitel calls Jesus a rat fuck, reprising his role from The Last Temptation of Christ.

Seriously though, this film is bleak as fuck. Keitel is the human equivalent of a black hole. One of the most degraded, fucked up characters I've ever seen in a film. This definitely falls under the 'couldn't be made today' category.

It's a good one for sure. King Of New York will always my my go to Ferrara movie.

To be fair the only thing holding something like that from getting made nowadays is New York being expensive to shoot in and being relatively clean compared to how it looked before Giuliani turned it into the tourist trap. Plus you had old school producers who would take a chance on stuff like that.

Think Ferrara fecked off to Italy and got super Catholic.

That's funny given his films sit at the further reaches of exploitation films  :laugh:

I'd say Ms.45 is my favourite of his, but he for sure has several really good ones.

Gravity

The effects were good. It could have been better if the dialogue wasn't such unbelievable Hollywood cheese though.

Saw it in the cinema and thought it was fierce tedious.

Saw the first few minutes of it in the Imax, it looked amazing. Not quite as spectacular on DVD though.

I just watched an ad for a new Irish horror film called Hokum. The same dude made Oddity, the trailer of which also looked interesting. Is there a bit of a movement for Irish horror lately or is it one dude doing good things? I must try to get my hands on these and have a look.

Oddity was great.

Gave Wonderland a rewatch last night. Still a good film even though it feels like The Doors part 2.

Seeing the Oddity movie mentioned too, thought that was terrible. Had to turn it off the acting was so bad.
