New Subscriptions System -- Launch date TBA

Sunday, February 28, 2016 Jon W.

Hey guys,

 I just wanted to clarify that the site is not shutting down on September, I will continue with my duties for at least another year.

 I'm happy to announce that the response to the new subscriptions system launching on March 20th has been very positive, this is all I needed to make a decision about whether to continue or not with the site. 

I also want you guys to know that from now on I will be working mostly on the subscribers section, due to reasons of time I'm not gonna be able to work on the "main/free" site and on the subscribers section equally, in consequence, the amount of new films every month will be bigger on the paid section and not the other way around, like in previous months. 

 I really don't know how often I'm gonna able to update the "main/free" site, I know that most of you visit the site because of the unique content and the good quality of the films, I will do my best to upload new films at least once a month, you probably noticed that the requests section is closed now, as soon as I get time to upload some of the pending requests I will open it again. 

 Money is tight at the moment for me, well, not only for me but for my family as well, I need to get money to help, that's the reason of this drastic change, I really need the money.

 I can't work 20 hours a day, that's why I need to focus on the people who are paying, they have the priority now, it's the truth. I can't ask $35 for a subscription and be lazy and just upload a few movies once a month, I really want to change my life and if I want to reach a big number of subscribers I need to make a big effort, just like the people who are making a big effort to gather those $35 every month, I can't let them down.

 I'm planning in working very hard on this 2016 and I would like to see more people interested in subscribing, I know it's not cheap, but it would mean so much to me if you can make the effort, it would mean the world.

 Thank you very much for all the support.

 All the best,
Jonathan.

Shiiku (1961)

Monday, January 04, 2016 Jon W.

(AKA The Catch)
SYNOPSIS:
The Catch, based on a celebrated short story (“Shiiku”) by Nobel Prize-winning author Kenzaburo Oe, was Oshima’s first independent film (and his fifth feature), and was made following his angry break with Shochiku studio over Night and Fog in Japan. The film is a relentlessly savage fable about a Japanese mountain village whose inhabitants accidentally capture a black American airman only a few weeks before the 1945 capitulation. The ‘prisoner of war’ acts as a catalyst, bringing out all the repressed aggressions and latent political conflicts beneath the tradition-girded surface of the community.

The Secret Night Caller (1975)

Monday, January 04, 2016 Jon W.

SYNOPSIS:
Most TV movies about obscene phone callers concentrate on the reactions of the victims--and the subsequent dangers they're exposed to. The Secret Night Caller takes a different tack, telling its story from the point of view of the caller. What makes the film doubly disturbing is that the dirty-mouthed phoner is played by Brady Bunch star and TV icon Robert Reed. Reed portrays an IRS agent (and seemingly contented family man) who is overtaken by his compulsion to phone strangers and whisper profanities. Even worse, Reed's access to tax-office records enables him to ring up people all over the country. The drama concentrates on Reed's mounting realization that he has to stop himself before someone else does. Though seedy and manipulative at times, The Secret Night Caller is elevated by the multifaceted performance of Robert Reed.
