Plutonium Shores: The Hellbound Heart
http://www.plutonium-shores.com/2013/03/the-hellbound-heart.html
Friday, 8 March 2013. In the next few days I’m hoping to catch a screening of Hellraiser. A film I have fallen out of love with it over the years. This sudden and unexpected interest in the film was prompted by my reading of The Hellbound Heart. Clive Barker’s 1986 novella which the author himself would adapt for his directorial debut. I first read The Hellbound Heart. Some 25 years ago and whatever memories I had of the story had long since been absorbed into Hellraiser. Than their filmic counterparts (...

Plutonium Shores: Skeleton Tree
http://www.plutonium-shores.com/2016/09/skeleton-tree.html
Wednesday, 21 September 2016. Currently listening to album number 16 from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. I'd normally grumble about Skeleton Tree's. Featuring Theatre of Voices soprano singer Else Torp is one of Cave's most beautiful songs. Essential listening, but you knew that already. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Plutonium Shores: October 2016

Wednesday, 26 October 2016. Video Watchdog (1990 - 2016 - 20? Links to this post. Labels: Video Watchdog (magazine). Saturday, 22 October 2016. Some German film paper for the memorabilia junkies out there. I recently re-discovered these two film programs for The Night Porter. Program is the classier of the two, printed on good quality paper and more professionally designed. The Night Porter. To a German audience? Links to this post. Labels: Art and Design.

Plutonium Shores: The Alternative Ummagumma
http://www.plutonium-shores.com/2016/11/the-alternative-ummagumma.html
Wednesday, 16 November 2016. I’ve been obsessively listening to Pink Floyd these past few days, prompted I suspect by the colossal Floyd boxset released earlier this week. Needless to say I could never afford such an luxury (and besides, the underwhelming packaging has nixed any such extravagant notions), so I’m making do with my modest collection of CDs. Speaking of CDs (and formats), last week I ripped my Ummagumma. Flows into "Astronomy Domine". And Dave Gilmour’s " The Narrow Way". As one of those Pi...

Plutonium Shores: Werewolves on Wheels
http://www.plutonium-shores.com/2016/09/werewolves-on-wheels.html
Thursday, 8 September 2016. Singer songwriter Barry McGuire contemplatin' the eve of destruction in the 1971 film Werewolves on Wheels. I've been seeing enthusiastic word for Psychomania. Ahead of the forthcoming BFI Blu-Ray, and with that in mind, I grabbed some time last night to revisit Werewolves on Wheels. The only other occult biker pic I can think of in that micro-genre of genres. Howling. But watching him in Werewolves on Wheels. One could readily imagine him playing Charles Manson, the similarit...

Plutonium Shores: C.H.U.D
http://www.plutonium-shores.com/2016/11/chud.html
Tuesday, 15 November 2016. Just reading Nathaniel Thompson’s Blu-Ray review of C.H.U.D. Over at Mondo Digital. And I’m pleased to see Arrow have turned in another fine job. I caught the film again a few weeks ago courtesy of the 2001 Anchor Bay DVD (which still looks pretty good! And the film remains a smart, witty and fast-paced monster romp. Watching the film again, I was particular struck by one sequence which anticipates Aliens. 8221; (a line from Talking Heads' Life During Wartime). I went back ...

Plutonium Shores: The Last Waltz
http://www.plutonium-shores.com/2016/10/the-last-waltz.html
Tuesday, 4 October 2016. I’ve been reconnecting with Music From Big Pink. These last few days, the rootsy songs still sound astonishing timeless. At the weekend, I revisited the Dylan documentary Dont Look Back. So last night the stage was set for a screening of The Last Waltz. Of all the concert films I’ve seen over the years this would be one to see in a theatre - the pre-credit title card: “ This Film Should be Played Loud. Which has a fantastic arrangement here) is the one sour note in this otherwise...
