Dogwoof films offer ‘change the world’ documentaries, and I love them for their informative and entertaining topics and film styles.  ’Gasland’ is an eye opener.  Another issue I wasn’t aware of or affected by, but it’s fascinating nonetheless.  Real humanity, speculation and investigation, let your curiosity get the better of you.

What a gem of a British film!  ’Cherry Tree Lane’ is a chilling and familiar, super little thriller.

Check out ‘Jeff Who Lives at Home’, I went to see it this afternoon and really enjoyed it.  It’s funny, well written, quirky and has a great cast.

Vampyr live score

Rarely do you get the chance to see silent films with live accompaniments, so I jumped at the chance when I saw this event.  Tonight @QFTBelfast Steven Severin (founding member of Siouxsie and the Banshees) presented his new score to Carl Theodor Dreyer’s cult horror ‘Vampyr’.  It was my first viewing of the film, and I’m mostly interested in film visuals, but I was very impressed with the score, which is eerie and atmospheric.  Running up to the Belfast Film Festival at the end of the month, this was a great warm up treat. More please!

Last night I watched  ’Enter The Void’ and spent the whole night ‘not getting it’ essentially…the camera is well treated and the editing in parts is nice, but the existentialism plot I’m not a fan of, sorry Casper Noe.  Take a browse through the trailer and you’ll get the essentials.

‘The Pack’ is tonight’s favoured little fright, check it out for some old fashioned tension with a heartbeat drum thump, cool critters and a bit of gore for good measure.

Tonight’s watch is ‘The Maid’.  A quirky situation drama about a family trying to get rid of a maid that refuses to move on.
