“Boorman and the Devil” is one of 2025’s most unexpectedly gripping documentaries… (it) reframes a sequel many see as a failure as a meaningful — even essential — filmmaking experiment. Among this year’s undistributed gems, it’s a true standout that demands to be on streaming at least.”

Writer-director Larry Cohen’s God Told Me To is cheap, cynical, grimy, weird - and far more mesmerising than any $250m blockbuster.

Another outstanding recommendation from @purecinemapod.bsky.social (@elrickane.bsky.social specifically). If you want an all-killer-no-filler heist noir thriller, I HIGHLY encourage you to seek out 'Plunder Road' (1957, dir. Hubert Cornfield).

PLUNDER ROAD (1957)
Crackerjack heist film. Gold on a train
Brilliant idea for robbery at the beginning. The rest is all about getting away
Tension-filled. Complicated feelings. Sometimes I wanted them to get caught. Sometimes I wanted them to be free
72 mins. No fat
Thx @elrickane.bsky.social
***ANNOUNCEMENT***
Coming in 2026 on Blu-ray in Australia from #NewWaveVideo: #LoveExposure: Perfect Collection (2008)!
More details to follow soon….
The story of a teenage boy named Yu, who falls for Yoko, a girl he runs into while operating for the sake of sin as an “up-skirt” photographer.
Udo took a chance on my rinky-dink festival in Vancouver back in 2000 - he went on TV interviews with me, carried 35mm film prints up stairs, went to get me coffee and even live-dubbed Giancarlo Giannini's voice when BLACK BELLY OF THE TARANTULA showed up without subs. RIP Udo, you were a star 🌟

It chimed with a discussion in this excellent episode of @purecinemapod.bsky.social about how Kubrick anchors his films in reality, even when the subject matter is fantastic, e.g. people eating normal cereal normally; toilets flushing out of frame...

This is terrific, and way beyond the usual biographical re-telling they pair each of his films with other fascinating-sounding films from all over the shop.

For DAY 325 of my year long retrospective on made for TV movies that need a DVD/Blu Ray release, I'm going with an OG classic, The Midnight Hour (1985). This Halloween love-fest is about a group of teens who accidentally raise the dead on the scariest night of the year. GET DEAD!
