Tzameti (13)

Hello there, I am sorry about the wee career break last week, apparently Dave trod on the internet when he was doing the hoovering in the nude so we had to go without for a while. Still, the distibutors have been voiding their pre-Christmas nuggets upon us, here is a list of all the films that have been released in the last two weeks and their ratings:

Idlewild: shit
The Guardian: shit
Open Season: shit
New Police Story: shit
The History Boys: shit
Frozen Land: shit
Tais Toi!: shit
Stick It: shit
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning: shit
The Aryan Couple: shit
The Great Ecstacy of Robert Carmichael: shit
Marie Antoinette: shit
Barnyard: shit
I Saw Ben Barka Get Killed: shit
Gypo: shit
The Last Kiss: really remarkably fucking shit
The Grudge 2: shit
KZ: might be good but not a bundle of laughs

Maybe there will be a good one out this week, I live in hope.

Anyway, I have not been slacking off, there are still DVDs to watch. Over the weekend I watched Napoleon Dynamite, twice, once normally and then again with the commentary on. The commentary is fantastic, when you hear it you realise that Napoleon Dynamite is actually a documentary.

And I just finished watching Tzameti, a movie in French by a young Georgian filmmaker. Tzameti means 13 in Georgian. It starts off and you think it is going to be a load of black and white retro-bollocks, because it takes most of its style cues from that Rififi film, but that came out in like 1955, when human beings still spoke in grunts and Raquel Welsh walked the earth in a fur bikini. But it quickly gets pretty nasty and intense and in the end I really enjoyed it, this film is good but don't watch it with your mum.
