CINAPSE Weekly Roundup — November 1st, 2014
Deluged by the plethora of awesome content the Cinapse family provides each week? Worried you missed something? Never fear, each Saturday our Weekly Roundup will show you a little glimpse of the week’s highlights, our most popular posts, new releases, column updates and anything that has provoked a response from internet trolls on up to insightful feedback and discussion.
THEATRICAL RELEASESThis week’s big releases give you a choice between the tonally weird Horns, which with a R-Rating could have been a hell of a lot more fun, or, the film many of us loved at Fantastic Fest this year, Nightcrawler. A gritty, fascinating look at the dark side of video journalism and the media in LA with an incredible performance by Jake Gyllenhall.
HOME VIDEO RELEASES(Takes a deep breath…) We have reviews of Life Of Crime, Eurocrime, Halloween 6: The Producers Cut, Che!, The Vincent Price Collection II and Begin Again, where the girl from Bend it Like Beckham makes sweet sweet music with the Hulk.
We also have not just one, but two reviews of the new Director’s Cut release of Nightbreed. Check them out here and here. I agree with the sentiments in there, the early Cabal cut nearly killed me when I saw it last year.
TVThis week in Doctor Who, a curious fairytale of an episode, In the Forest of the Night. The season finale preview suggests it could be a doozy too!
