Coming soon..

I have to admit I do love a bit of 'controversy'. So when films baddest boy Lars Von Trier announced (quite some time ago now) the title of his latest project to be 'Nymphomaniac', I knew he wouldn't disappoint on that front.

The Film Posters look... promising; the actors and actresses appear to be in the throes of passion; having intense orgasms; (although if it wasn't for the film title tho they could also quite easily be on the bloody toilet!) and after finally getting round to watching the trailer, the style itself appears to be miles away from the intensity of the apocalyptic drama that was Melancholia, yet still has that same raw, poetic; somewhat gritty appeal to it.
Disgustingly excited.

Also, for completely different reasons, Steve McQueen's '12 years a slave', based on a true story of a man kidnapped and forced into slavery, is another film I'm more than willing to fork out to see, (although it may have to be a orange Wednesdays- two for one type situation as cinema prices are fricken ridiculous these days).

The film featuring Micheal Fassbinder (of course) is apparently quite a harrowing, unflinching depiction, which in terms of the subject matter is very necessary I feel! I'm actually getting really bored of this softly softly censored approach taken in most Hollywood movies when it comes to something very real or historic in comparison to the extreme sloth type violence shown in the majority of the horror movies/slasher flicks released year after year! (I mean wtf!)

The second installment in the Hunger Games trilogy- Catching Fire is also an obvious must watch. I'm a sucker for fantasy.
