well, I have been super busy with reviews but in danger of burn out so I hear you, come check them out when you want to get a feel for it all again. Still thinking about you up there buddy so come back when you can but dont force it, I learned that hard lesson!

I heard that too and it seems to be an emerging way of doing things. with cinema getting expensive and on demand cheaper and less effort particularly with smart TV it may be the way forward for films that may not get a wide cinema release.

Glad to hear you liked it, man. I thought it was marvellous and would rate just slightly higher than Kill List, although I gave them both 4 stars. There’s not much between them.

I’m still kicking, man, but took a break from blogging at the moment. I’ve not been watching, reading or writing anything. I’m far too busy at the moment. I only started taking notes again, for the first in ages, yesterday. Hopefully, I’ll be back into the swing of things by the end of the week.

By the way, I not sure about it accuracy but Wheatley’s new film is supposedly being released on demand, in cinemas and on film 4 all on the same day. I believe it’s June (or July) 5th. It worth googling that (I should too) incase we miss a free opportunity to see it. That kind of thing is unheard of but I like his style if it’s true.

I remember you reviewing this some time ago and here I am, thought I would check it out after finally getting round to watching it myself and reviewing it; and also to see if you’re still kicking? Anyway nice review and spot on with what I thought of it too. I still think Kill list is better though mate, this was different but not that far removed from Wheatley’s messed up genius. He’s already got another one the cards.

I’ve not yet managed another viewing Laura but it’s one I definitely will be visiting many times again. It was my favourite film from last year. There’s more I’d like to add and probably will do a revisit review when the time comes. Thanks for dropping in. And I’d buy a ticket to watch Phoenix and Hoffman read a grocery list too. Two outstanding performers.

Repeated viewing gives a lot of insight into this film. If you take the time to read other reviews – it is amazing all the different and interesting takes people get from this movie. If PTA writes a grocery list and Phoenix and Hoffman read it aloud, I will be first in line to buy a ticket. Thanks for your thoughtful review.

Thanks Vic. I remember liking this more when I first seen it and it didn’t quite live up to my memory but it’s still a good Carpenter pic and probably one of his last decent movies. For the concept alone it deserves a bigger audience.

I can feel your enthusiasm in that comment alone Alex.
You point out a few of his highlights there. The only one that jarred with me was the courtroom theatrics. I enjoyed that side to it but it didn’t quite convince me. That being said, there is still plenty to admire.

I don’t know what it is about Sleepers, but I love everything about this movie. Actually, it’s one of my favorite films of the ’90s. I love its nostalgia, its authentic street cred, its courtroom theatrics. And that cast… man, I just love it all.

Great review! Probably my favorite JC film from the 90′s. Great commentary on the DVD too with JC and his DP Gary Kibbe. You are correct that the film deserves more respect. I’m glad you reviewed it and are spreading the word on this oft overlooked JC horror gem.
