The new and the old
So recently I've started up my old habit of buying some movies with each paycheck. It's pretty exciting really because for the most part, I haven't seen the movies that I am buying previously. A lot of the time people may argue that this is stupid logic, especially in today's economy. However, my interests are pretty exact so I'm bound to be amused, entertained or captivated by what I am watching.
Maybe I should start reviewing the films I watch on here, just so I can get into the habit of writing more. My girlfriend and I really enjoy the same movies, and I haven't been able to find one yet that she hasn't enjoyed to some extent. That, my friends, is a true test of companionship. If you can find someone that is WILING to sit through films like Blood Orgy of the She-Devils, Godmonster of Indian Flats or Joe D' Amato's Images in a Convent (extremely pornographic, I wouldn't recommend it as a first date movie, unless you date hookers), than you are in luck. My first love in cinema will always be trash and horror. Horror plays a huge part honestly, but to a lesser degree there is exploitation and science fiction as well.
I've discovered that my tastes are slightly changing though. I don't know if it's because of external influences or my own personal beliefs have begun to shift, but there are certain elements that I am finding I don't get as much enjoyment from as I use to. Maybe I am just seeing movies differently than I use to. It's odd to watch a movie again after a span of 5 years or so, your perceptions of what is happening on screen and the interaction between the actors changes. No matter what. I'm not suggesting that I'm tiring of horror or exploitation films, but my preference is shifting to different styles of horror. Right now, I am intensely interested in foreign horror and adventure/scifi, with the exception of J-Horror. I still struggle to enjoy that despite that it is generally well received. If i could, I would love to own every film put out by Onar films. These are hard to find Turkish films that often demonstrate a deep love for Western cinema, featuring not only borrowed footage but also exhibit Turkish interpretations and re-interpretations of classic Western figures, images and events from superhero, western and science fiction cinema.
