Oh Jeez, We Went and Got More Round Shiny Thingies!

BIG RIVER MAN
Martin Strel is an athlete. His training routine includes chomping wheelbarrow loads of greasy food and guzzling barrels of booze. Then he jumps into the river and swims for about a month.

Having dog paddled past dead bloated bodies in toxic waterways around the world, Strel sets out to swim the length of the Amazon. Not width, length. Thankfully his gut is also a floatation device.



LOLA MONTES
Criterion bring it on again, this time with Max Ophuls' stunning, starry, sensational sparklecracker of a film. Yeah, dude: sparklecracker.



DAMNED UNITED
Haven't seen this yet and I probably won't because it's got a swear in the title. But, it's supposed to be really good from what I've heard from people I don't know who live in the internet.



I'M OSCARED!!
This space with the clever title is where we highlight films up for an Oscar that are good. Whoa! Here's one now!



That's all for this time. We hope you had fun reading these keyboard clickin's.

Crap! (not a swear) here's another thing I meant to add. Hang on. It's not too late...

SHOCK FESTIVAL
97,310 hours of horror, schlock, sci-fi and exploitation movie trailers. Comes with a disc of MP3 radio spots too. Including one for SINFUL DWARF. Be still my heart!



That's really all for this time. Stay inside! Winter sucks and movies rule!!

The Stomach Flu!

The stomach flu! Blargh!! Who likes it?! Amirite?!?!?!

I've been gripped by this dirty little bug for the past week in one way or the other. This video best depicts what the inside of my body has looked like during these times of trouble. And also, what went through my mind.

Enjoy. And keep your hands away from your face!!!!!!! Amirite?!?!?!

New Additions to the Video Horde

At Have You Seen... we rent movies to people. And sometimes, dogs. It's what we do. Every day. That's our guarantee!

A FEW RECENT ADDITIONS TO YE OLDE VIDEO SHOPPE THAT ARE WORTH AN EYE WATCH:

MARY & MAX
Story of two pen pals from two very different backgrounds. One is an 8-year-old girl from Australia and the other, a 44-year-old chunky man from New York. How do they become pen pals? Watch the dang movie! It's animated, it's funny and it'll also jerk the tears right outta your head!


HOUSE OF THE DEVIL
We're going through a time where everyone and their brother are trying to make a movie that looks like it was filmed in the 70s or 80s. "Throwbacks" they call 'em. It's a kind of pointless task if you axe me (did you?) since if I wanna watch a movie from 1975, I'll watch one that was made in 1982. Anyhoo, this one succeeds and delivers the creepy goods.


FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS (Blu-Ray)
If you're a fancy pants with a Blu-Ray player, you can now watch Fear & Loathing in high def. Chemically induced hallucinations never looked so good! We've also got this movie in the regular old dirty DVD version. Eeww!

NO IMPACT MAN
A man and his family survive on nothing but air and fingernail clippings for a year!



ROSSELLINI'S WAR TRILOGY (Criterion)

Afrika Raps!

It ain't "real" (although it's as real as it gets, yo) but it's pretty funny and pretty messed. Language warning for those offendered by that sort o thang.

LEATHERFACE in Peterborough!

Dad?

In news of the WTF! variety, LEATHERFACE, the freaking awesome U.K. band (not the mutant chainsaw wielder in a dead skin mask, tho that would be cool too) are actually coming to Peterborough on March 2nd for a show at, of all places, Dobro.



LEATHERFACE are one of my all-time fave bands and are responsible for my all-time fave album 'Mush' so, I am stupid stoked about this. I'll still believe it when I hear the chill-inducing vocals of Frankie Stubbs in person. There is nothing more important you could possibly be doing that Tuesday night so do yourself a favour and check this show out! Hot damn! [Paul]

LEATHERFACE Myspace - new album out soon!
