93. Django Unchained

I could listen to Leo and Chris talk all day. There scenes together are classic Tarantino. Utterly mesmerising.

After the boreathon that was 'Eli Roth shoots Hitler in the Face' (well apart from the scenes with Chris in obviously) I wasn't expecting much from Django but boy am I glad I took the time.

The over the top action scenes suit the film perfectly and you actually tell what's going on (unlike the aforementioned ERSHITF). Which is nice.

51. Down Terrace

After seeing the amazing Kill List from the same director I was keen to catch Down Terrace. Ben Wheatley's first feature certainly has many of the same assets that made Kill List one my films of 2011. Generally this is involves bickering suburbanite families, organised-crime-based violence and some of the darkest humour ever committed to film.

Down Terrace is a look at what can happen if paranoia grips small time junkies and they start a bit of 'Let's murder everyone we think may know sometihng about anything'. It's eye watering funny at times and is punctuated by some very hard, straight forward violence. Which is nice.

Recommended.
