The Devil's Bloody Playthings (2005)
Cumpulsive viewing
I thought this movie was brilliant. Don't get me wrong, the acting was pretty poor, and the movie had a very cheap feel to it, almost the feel of a home video. But, from the first conversation in the opening scene, i knew this was going to be pure entertainment, and sure enough it delivered in huge quantities. Some of the scenes are seriously sick, but i reckon when making a movie with no real actors or funding, why not use dialogue as the main source of entertainment. (At the end of the day i've seen Hollywood movies with less entertainment than a Sunday-school pantomime.) I watched TDBP with a girlfriend, and we both howled with laughter from start to finish. I wish i could get my hands on more movies in this vein. I gave it two thumbs up and a massive 10/10. Well done Mr. Hellfire.
Je suis une nymphomane (1971)
Surprisingly quite good
I found "I am a Nymphomaniac" surprisingly quite good in it's issue, and is definitely not a comedy as tagged in some reviews
A young girl becomes addicted to sex after an accident. Carole, played by actress Sandra Julien, hates what she's become, but is compelled to have sex with anyone that will comply. Her work soon takes her to France where things start escalating out of control. After a suicide attempt she is helped by a priest and her doctor, and is diagnosed as having psychological problems and that her illness is curable.
Although the movie featured soft-core gratuitous sex scenes,(soft-core by todays standards) attention is bought to a rare illness that isn't always recognised as an illness. Some decent acting from Sandra Julien (some of the other characters seemed a little wooden) and an interesting storyline, i enjoyed this movie quite a lot and gave Nymphomaniac 7 out of ten.
