Better late than never... I really liked this. The nostalgia for east Berlin is kind of odd but it's mostly a kind of nostalgia for a kind of consumer innocence and a simpler life rather than any kind of political thing. Anyway, it was too long ago for me to remember much more than that vague impression.As I say I really enjoyed it.

Re-Animator
Based on HP Lovecraft's 'Herbert West Reanimator' the director sensibly plays fast and loose with the rather dull source material. Jeffrey Comb's Herbert West is the highlight undoubted highlight a foretaste of his show stealing roll in The Frighteners.
Stuart Gordon has a new Re-Animator film coming out next year and I'm quite looking forward to it. I has West reprising the central roll and also has William H Macy as the US president, well sounds good to me anyway.
A few things struck me. 1. The film is by many measures terrible 2. the special effects are really good 3. They were much more sparing with music in the 80s 4. The title sequence is cool 4. For a film which attempts to breach the accepted standards of good taste on a regular basis (severed head cunnilingus?) it's remarkably coy about using the F word.
