Motion Demon at Silent Hill

I like this picture of Steve Kethero's, taken at Silent Hill, during a Motion Demon session a few years ago

some bookmarks

It's been quite a while since I made any attempt to get my Opera bookmarks in order (possibly my memories of the thousands of carefully ordered bookmarks on crashed computers of the past, has made me question the future value of the task) and looking through them again tonight, I came across a few pages that I enjoyed visiting again.

Dominion:Prequel to the Exorcist

Horror is my favourite film genre. This is one of the very best. It ranks alongside ‘Quatermass and the Pit’ for intellectual excitement. As well as being one of the best horror films I’ve seen, this stands among the best of Paul Schrader’s work as a director. The script by William Wisher and Caleb Carr is flawless. This is a great film.

C.O.M.A

C.O.M.A. - The Community of Multinational Artists - The Subway to Art

I’ve been thinking about C.O.M.A today. This is a German based, world encompassing arts organisation that I was involved with a few years ago. I lost contact with the organisers, which is a shame. C.O.M.A was/is a good vision.

Keeper of the Flame

A strange film this is, indeed. Made in 1942 by George Cukor and starring Spencer Tracey amd Katherine Hepburn, this isn’t what you might expect if you’ve seen their other collaborations. Released a year after Citizen Kane, this has echoes of Orson Welles masterpiece (I wouldn’t argue with anyone who says Citizen Kane in the greatest film ever made) but is a minor work in comparison. It’s very very dark and slightly gothic and has some things to say about the world we live in today, where great power is not always in the right hands. Spend 97 minutes watching this and it's time you won't regret.
