These aren’t recent films, but ones I’ve seen on DVD in the past week.

Firstly Brotherhood Of The Wolf, a French film which I didn’t know anything about before I watched it- but it was surprisingly very good. Cinematography was great and some of the acting was superb, even if some bits were predictable.

I also watched Spinal Tap, a film I first watched years ago but wanted to see again. The stonehenge scene has to be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen (the youtube video doesn’t do it justice- you really have to watch it in the context of the film).

Finally, I watched Marathon Man last night. A really, really good thriller (the torture scene was excruciating to watch), I though Hoffman was superb. Highly recommended.
