A few films recently watched.

I thought Death Proof was outstanding, it oozes classic Tarantino.

Planet Terror on the other hand ....

deathproof was great

Tropa de Elite (Elite Squad) - 8/10 watched this when someone posted that the director would be directing the robocop remake. Pretty good, would recommend.

The Wire Season 1: 8.5/10

the bicycle thief - very good

Check out the Apu Trilogy if you enjoy neorealism.

Ah yes, I've been meaning to watch some Satyajit Ray, the Apu Trilogy especially. Being kinda spoilt though, I'm always holding out for blurays. I should just grab the DVD set now.

Yeah, I wouldn't wait for Blu-ray. Sony Pictures Classics distributed the trilogy in the west and somehow, I doubt they're going to make a high priority of a blu-ray transfer.

I still find it rather remarkable (and very sad) that Criterion hasn't released *anything* from Ray.

That being said, the SPC transfer on DVD is very high quality.

death proof was awesome 9/10, planet terror was pretty much like machete, fun while it lasted but i can't really say i remember any particular scenes that stood out from either films.

Could not stand Death Proof, yet enjoyed Planet Terror.

I really enjoyed the trailer before the grindhouse movies and was fairly excited when Machete was announced as a full length film, but somewhere along the way I just lost all interest in it.

Machete fucking sucked.
