for anyone taking flight, you can find me there under the same callsign...

@WheelsCritic this is exactly where my head is at, atm. Esp now when i get weird obstacles when trying to post (This Looks like Spam! You've reached your limit! Give us your phone number!}. I'll be joining you on the other site soon enough.

@ask_aubry Never Have I Ever...

Need a feel good series to binge watch. Any recommendations?

We recommend you check out 1-minute fight film AMBUSH [Dir. Jackson Bentley, 2023] at youtube.com/watch?v=72022w… [#MartialArtsMonday / #ShortFilm / #ShortShots / @TheDTVDigest]

Phillip Ng's King reminded me a lot of Yuen Wah in Eastern Condors and Dragons Forever: you dismissed him as a jokey henchman until he starts seriously kicking arse!

I was temporarily blind (!) when #WALLEDIN hit the cinemas so only now getting to bask in awe at its epic-ness. So many jaw dropping stunts & fights. A too 10 movie for sure! #WalledIn #LouisKoo #SammoHung #RaymondLam #MartialArts

#Watched #GHOSTGAME, Jill Gevargizian's follow-up to The Stylist. A decent premise and a story which has some interesting twists and red-herrings. I really enjoyed it although I suspect some may be frustrated by the abrupt ending which leaves much to the viewer's imagination.

#Watched #TRAP possibly the most fun Shyamalan film. Josh Hartnett is really good (as aleays).

We reviewed THE TRIANGLE on our most recent episode and it divided opinion. I'm a big fan of this unsettling slow-burn faux documentary -anyone else? #TheDTVDigest #cult #horror youtu.be/HL7H3jF8rzE?si…

#DTVDigest‌ 276: Reviews of @SignatureEntUK’s CLASSIFIED and @HighFliersFilms' GOLDILOCKS & THE THREE BEARS: DEATH & PORRIDGE, THE HANGMAN, HELLHOUNDS & THE WELL. The #DTVthrowback is THE TRIANGLE and the #ShortShot is NO MAN’S LAND. Listen at bit.ly/DTVDigest276

@BrndnStrssng love both this and Neon Demon, Eventually I need to get round to seeing Drive...

Up now on my free tier is a resurrected piece I did on Only God Forgives a couple years back. My favorite NWR film by far. Link in the next tweet! As always, any subs or shares mean the world

@ask_aubry Beyond the misogynistic red flags, the ignorance & conceitedness of his plan is appalling. You gonna tattoo me yourself? Are you trained? Got any artistic skill? Access to anesthesia? Coz I can only imagine down below is 1000% more sensitive than the collarbone.

Dump him.

you had me at "Starring Daniel Bernhardt" but a remake/re-imagining of Deathstalker is the cherry on the top.

@emmasaurustex I hope you're game enough to try the sequel, which genuinely impressed me. It's everything and nothing you'd expect.

I just watched Samurai Cop.

@KavalAuthorActs I think the bottom left is the most atmospheric and professional looking. I'm going to hazard a guess that the top two are more in keeping with the tone of the film. Best of luck at the film festival!

Which poster do you like best for our new short film, Camp Bloody Mary, made during the Te Awamutu Youth Filmmakers Workshop? Our film will play at the Misty Flicks Film Festival on 24 November. Please come along and watch if you are in the area!

@ask_aubry he's in a long term relationship, and needs to weigh the pros and cons of getting married...the fact that he thinks there are cons to being married to his long term partner is a huge red flag.

Girl, no. Don't marry him.

Prepping for the next ep of #TheDTVDigest watching #TheHangman which is doing a good job of mixing genre tropes. Looking forward to talking about it.

@DerekBrocks Agreed. That shot is great. Did you get the impression Tim Roth really couldn't be arsed?

The new Roel Reine-directed Eckhart DTV actioner "Classified" is a middle of the road, lackluster flick chock full of tropes you've seen before and done better, and not really standing out stylistically from a directorial standpoint either, EXCEPT for this banger top-down shot:

@Timobros I am a fan of Tarantino but it amazes me how many people are unaware the guy is standing on the shoulders of giants.

Unfortunately you need to expand your Library Cinesnicker , my main inspiration comes from the works of Kazuo Koike & Kazuo Kamimura.
