Happy Easter!

Samurai Commando Mission 1549 - trailer

My mate Paul directed my attention to this *kind of* Japanese remake of another awesome Japanese film called TIMESLIP (aka G.I. Samurai). This new one is entitled SAMURAI COMMANDO - MISSION 1549 and just like TIMESLIP it's about a modern day platoon of Japanese soldiers that are sent back to the past. The trailer certainly looks cool. I'll finish here so I can head off to the nearest video webstore. No, wait, oh bugger, it's Easter, they're all closed!! Haha.

Elevator muzak?

It's been a while since I last bought some music so this week I scooped up a few titles from the local music pusher. Some of it I knew very well, some of it I already own on LP, and some of it I hated as a kid but thought I should give a chance. xD.

The Smiths: Hatful of Hollow (my first The Smith LP which I bought shortly after it came out. This version contains singles versions and radio recordings from The Peel Show, and it's better than their debut LP).

The Smiths: s/t

Morrissey: Bona Drag (wauw, imagine if some old geezer came up from the cellar at The Smiths' old record label and said "Bloody hell, I just found the mystical last Smiths album that was never released!". Well, that's how this Morrissey record sounds and how good it is. In my view anyway [and that's what counts here, haha]).

Morrissey: You Are the Quarry (fortunately it was very cheap, otherwise it'd be quite annoyed as I forgot I've already got a copy of it!).

Sex Pistols: Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols (ordinary release without all the extra tracks. Fortunately! I want the original track list, goddammit!).

The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Are You Experienced (UK version)

Sonic Youth: Goo (original one cd version)

John Coltrane: Blue Train, Traneing in, Dakar (3 albums on one 2 disc release)

Miles Davis: Kind of Blue, Ascenseur Pour L'échafaud, Somethin' Else (3 albums on one 2 disc release)

P J Harvey: 4-Track Demos

P J Harvey: Rid of Me

Kent: En Plats i Solen

The Ventures: Guitar Freakout, Super Psychedelics (2 albums on one 1 disc release)


- and in addition to all the above Henrik Larsen was so kind as to send me a bucketful of 1980s heavy metal albums (on cd-r) and thanks a lot for those, Henrik!

Review of Norwegian horror movie extraordinaire...

...I keep babbling about the cool Norwegian horror movie DE DØDES TJERN and now kool Todd over at "Die Die Die Fuckers Kill Kill" blog has seen the light too!!! Go here (there's an awesome Aqua Lene video as well!!).

Could it be any more awesome???

...I highly doubt it! xD xD xD

Hardboiled on a Sunday

What a difference!

My gawd! I've just received the DVD (Cannibals: Legend or Realism) that I ordered on Monday from the Czech Republic!! It's Saturday today! How awesome is that!! The last time I ordered a DVD from the Czech Rep. (The Jail) it took 2 months to get here! O_O And the first time I ordered from said republic (Zombie: The Beginning, Island of the Dead, Deep Blood) it also took a very long time and I had to deal with bank transfer and writing personal letters to the company. Wauw, this is such a difference. For future purchases I'm definitely going to check with these people first to see if they've got what I'm looking for. Oh, and did I mention that out of the three eShops they are the only one that accepts PayPal! So much better than annoying bank transfers or credit-card payment that you're never really sure is secure or not.

Responsible... Moi??

Altho I'm very much against censorship I do understand that gore (even fake latex stuff and stage blood) isn't everyone's cup of tea (not least considering the previous cannibal post) and there are 5 year old kids surfing the net as well (because they've got irresponsible parents) so I guess I'll have to ask to see some id at door from now on (flashing boobs will get you in tho).




Needless to say the image was created by Member-X.

Screen grabs from the Czech CANNIBALS: LEGEND OR REALITY dvd

Woo-hoo! I've just got an email from the nice people at the Czech store where I ordered the film saying they've shipped it now. Fantastic!! I was afraid they might not have it in stock. When I ordered the last DVD (Mattei's The Jail) from (another) Czech shop it took two months before I got it because they had to back order it from the publisher (funnily enough their website didn't mention any of this when I placed the order!). Well, this is certainly cool news.

I found some screen grabs on a Czech film site and I'm posting all of them here + credits info. You'll find the original page (with a long plot description in Czech) here.
