So after being chained up in the Black Dog basement subsiding only on a thin gruel of rotten potatoes and children’s tears while working feverishly on getting the next episode of the podcast ready, Dylan has declared, “Success! Huzzah! “Hey can you let me out of here now?” Josie guests as we drink and riff on the film One From the Heart. Take an ear listen here!

Also, as you know, the month of October is almost upon us. And also, as you know, that means Halloween and watching scary films! Scaretober or Shocktober if you will! Starting on the 1st, we’ll be publishing a scary movie recommendation everyday. You can follow along on the Facebooks, the Twitters or the Instagrams – black_dog_video! I’ll also put it up on the website. Should be fun!

Housewife – New film from the director of the crazy Turkish flick, Baskin! A woman, who was traumatized as a kid when her mom butchered her dad and sister, grows up and joins a mysterious cult. Heard this is a good slow burn with a nutty finale that may or may not involve tentacles.

Izzy Gets the F%#k Across Town – Fun-looking little comedy finds Izzy, at a low ebb in her life, trying to get across LA to crash her ex’s engagement party. I love these type of flicks.

The Looming Tower – Mini-series depicting the events leading up to that fateful day in September all those years ago. I wonder if it touches on some of the conspiracy theories – inside job, aliens, manatees etc, that made the rounds on the internets?

MV5BY2ExMmI4MTUtNTFmZS00ZjBkLWFjOWEtNjE3MGVkZDQ1ZDZhXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjUzODM0ODI@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

The summer is finally winding down, the kids are finally back to school and we can finally breathe in relative safety. I love the fall – the crisp air, cool nights, Halloween, hearty stouts. Bring it on!

Word of note – the Cambie store will be closed Tuesday September 18th and Wednesday September 19th from noon till 5pm each day. There’s a film crew taking over the spot but they should have everything wrapped up by 5pm. Sorry for the inconvenience.

New Releases!

beast-blu-ray

Beast – Cool, tough British flick about a woman torn between her oppressive family and the loner dude who just blew into town who may or may not be a killer! (should be on the shelves today or tomorrow)

MV5BMTA4OWQ0NGYtNDgxNC00MzI4LTgzNzktYzAxMDcyMGI3OTFmXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTIyODMzMzA@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Ghost Stories – The title pretty much tells you what you need to know – three (I think 3) ghostly tales guaranteed to shiver your timbers. (should be on the shelves today or tomorrow)

MV5BOGUwYjU2NjEtMmRhYy00ODVmLWE1YmMtNzY1OGEzOWI4ZWRkXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNDkzNTM2ODg@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Happy End – New film from Michael Haneke (Funny Games, Piano Teacher) stars the always great Isabelle Huppert as a member of a family with secrets. Can’t wait. (should be on the shelves today or tomorrow)

MV5BMjI2MzU2ODQ4M15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwOTgxMTU5OTE@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Headshot – I’m just going to post the awesome description from the IMDB for this one – Uwais (The Raid) plays a young man who washes ashore, an amnesiac with a serious head injury whose past comes back to haunt him shortly after being nursed back to health by a young doctor. Violence ensues. Sweet, sweet violence.

MV5BOTU5MDg3OGItZWQ1Ny00ZGVmLTg2YTUtMzBkYzQ1YWIwZjlhXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTAzMTY4MDA@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Hereditary – The best horror, and one of the best films, of the year finds Tony Colette and Gabriel Byrne as the mom and dad of a family that has a history of, shall we say, bad luck. A nice slow burn the builds to a great (if not a tad derivative) last act. Loved it.

MV5BMjAyNDEyMzc4Ml5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMjEzNjM0NTM@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Ocean’s 8 – It’s the ladies turn for the heist hoo-haw! Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bulloch, Anne Hatheway and at least 5 other women are getting together for a nice caper at the yearly Met gala. Looks like fun!
