I just binged the first three episodes thru Comcast .FBI agent Clarice Staring is listed as one of the top ten heroes in cinematic history by the American Film Institute. Being asked to play the role of Clarice Staring in a reboot is kind of a big ask ; the reality is there's no replacing Jodie Foster in any universe. :) I have to say Rebecca Breeds is really carrying the show.I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised.
That's the sort of sentiment you'll hear from the mouths of nostalgic fans, for whom the Miami-based band represented the power and angst of South Florida’s punk and hardcore sound from the '90s.
To honor the group, brothers Gary and Tarek "Rick" Ahmed, Connecticut natives, blow the dust off Load's rise and fall in Whiskey on Beer, an hourlong documentary that features interviews with musicians, club owners, bartenders, and fans who lived to tell the story. Among those who appear in the film: Shai Hulud's Matt Fox, Marilyn Manson's Scott Putesky, and Interpol's Sam Fogarino.
The film will premiere at Savor Cinema November 8 as part of this year's Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival (FLIFF).
The beauty of Load’s sound was layered in punk, alternative, and sludge, but more crucially, it emerged from deep in the soul of the group's charismatic and erratic frontman, the late Robert Johnston, AKA Bobby Load.
“For anybody that remembers that time, it was very difficult to see past Bobby. He was so exceptional as a frontman. He epitomized what a punk-rock singer should be onstage,” former Load drummer Fausto Figueredo remembers.
ohhhh yeah! I really want to see that. It was in the theater here recently, but of course just in Swedish with Danish subtitles. I have to wait for DVD and hope there is English or German subtitles.
We actually own it, but I just haven't watched it yet. I have to watch with German subtitles, which I think I can manage....I actually watched Auf Die Anderen Seite this way and got by pretty well... It is harder for me to follow just listening. OH..my husband just informed me that actually the copy he has only has Scandinavian subtitles. Unfortunately, that isn't going to work for me. My Danish knowledge is still very little... (I am actually American btw... :) )
Fatih Akin is another great director.. I recommend this film and 'Im Juli' He also did 'Gegen Die Wand' which is supposed to be very good, but I haven't seen it yet.

Have you seen any Aki Kaurismaki films? A Finnish director with a wicked sense of humor....but his style is not for everyone. It is very FINNISH, in that there isn't a lot of dialogue, but when there is, it is priceless! I would recommend any of his, but I especially liked The Man Without A Past.
We own that film! As well as the classic Leningrad Cowboys Go America.
Well, it's not really Del Toro's film (I am a huge fan of his work, though). El Orfanato is the first film by this guy Juan Antonio Bayona, and I'm looking forwards to seeing more of his work. Spanish film is getting extraordinarily good in recent years.
No...but he had his fingers in it. :)

Was really well done!! I am a big Del Toro fan. The Devil's Backbone is probably my favorite ghost movie ever..
