 A Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy
I supposed I shouldn't be shocked that one movie isn't mentioned at all for its famous rules explanation clip.
Of course, this is real life and that is a movie, but I don't think it's very rousing to declare, "Let's make sure that we only fight if we are guaranteed victory!" Not exactly an exciting tag line for your campaign.
Someone asked me last night what movies are coming out that you want to see, and for the past three months, my first answer has been the same: The Bourne Supremacy.

 Review: Scum
After the BBC banned his original version before it was released, Alan Clarke remade Scum two years later with much of the same cast and crew and the same script (almost).
Scum is unforgettable for all the right reasons, because you know this sort of thing was actually happening behind closed doors in 1979.
They were the true scum, as were the powers that be at the BBC for banning the original in the first place, a rather telling occurrence, in retrospect, which goes to show just how much the truth can hurt.

That's not to say that the movie doesn't have depth - it is in fact a raw, no-holds-barred look at Borstals and the things that could happen in them.
The original soundtrack doesn't appear to have been tampered with and has that harsh sound which features on so many British movies from the seventies and eighties.
If you're a fan of the movie or are interested in the genre then this is a disc you really should watch at least once.

 Weekly Web Review
For those of you who haven't seen the film or have otherwise not heard of Solanas, she developed her own brand of radical anarcho-feminism in the form of the Society for Cutting Up Men (SCUM), and gained infamy for the act the movie is named after, shooting Andy Warhol.
What you get is an account from Valerie herself (actually, this may or may not be fictionalized, but it is presented through her perspective) about herself, SCUM, and the people around her including Andy Warhol and his gang.
As you go through the site, you are presented with quotes from SCUM as well as a link to the full text of the SCUM Manifesto, which Valerie describes as "a bullet in the head of the male establishment." It is an interesting read and makes for good contrast to the patriarchy stuff (such as

In this sense, Scum is fundamentally a study of masculinity, power and control.
Minton uses the setting of borstal, in which life is lived at the most base and bleak level, to examine the very essence of masculinity and male power structures.
It does most of what Scum does plus a great deal more and I get the impression it is what Scum was trying to achieve.

Some movies had great impact on there age, movies that today it is hard to imagine having the sociological impact of their time that they did.
That isn't to say movies of the post-Apocalyptic genre are simplistic, infantile works of childish destruction appealing to the earliest memories of childhood frustration at the inability to change the world.

In 1977, Alan Clarke was having difficulty finding someone to play the lead in his TV movie about the cruel realities of borstal life.
The rest is controversial history: The TV production was banned — a watershed moment for censorship in Britain, which would spark the creative forces behind the project to fight Scum's corner all over again as a feature film, using largely the same cast and crew.
In Scum, I think the boiler house scene is blinding, just for young kids you know, giving it large.

 SCUM: The Life Aquatic or This Movie is in Honor of Me
I rarely go to movie theatres, my logic being that I am easily disappointed and this feeling combined with the dissappearance of 10-12 dollars generally results in seething anger.
I like Wes Anderson movies not so much because I think they are brilliant complex cinematic masterpieces, but because the complexity of their facade serves as a sort of veil that allows me to publicly indulge my desire for hollywood sentimentality of the John Hughs variety and the satisfying melodrama of an overbearing soundtrack.
But apparently the artistry of this movie, which produced the whimsical facades that allowed me to enjoy sentimentality wihtout shame, is a sort of all purpose veil.

Still the most notorious project in his native country, Clarke's Scum began life as a 1977 BBC film starring a young Ray Winstone as Carlin, a boy shipped off to a youth prison where the warden and his lackeys show no interest in reforming their charges.
In either form, Scum is one of the strongest "youth in prison" films and would make a solid co-feature with the earlier Born Innocent and the later Bad Boys, to cite just two obvious examples.
The BBC Scum features commentary with Daniels, actor David Threlfall, and producer Margaret Matheson, as well as a separate discussion with Winstone, covering the technical and creative genesis of the film as well as the complex fate it encountered with the BBC.

As a matter of fact, I'm quite sure it was all because of that movie that his career went down the drain.
The plot of the movie is that he fakes his own death in order to become famous again...well, he just might have to try that in real life too.

And having read the Phantom of the Opera novel I can say that the movie interpretation is pretty close to the spirit of the Phantom character.
I've heard alot of people criticizing Gerard Butler's performance vocally and acting wise as the Phantom, but from the trailer while his voice is not as powerful as Michael Crawford's he's not a screechy, fingernails against a chalkboard, Jerry Lewis pitched singer either.
With Gerard Butler, he has more experience with acting in movies and can use subtle facial movements to express emotions that are easily conveyed onscreen.

Bad language, scores of blood and violence and a spell or two in solitary confinement are on the cards here along with scenes that pack more than a punch, featuring a graphic assault with billiard balls wrapped in a sock, a horrific rape and a gruesome suicide.
Scum was first made as a television drama in 1977 before being remade as a film with many of the same principal leads two years later.
Not many TV stations were willing to broadcast it, but a year after their conception, Channel 4 put it on the small screen, albeit with a few cuts.

However, the biggest upgrade from the first movie had to go to Mystique, who got a lot more screen time and a lot more to accomplish.
The third X-Men movie would seem to be a perfect entry point for the popular cajun, with the burgeoning romance between Iceman and Rogue (in the comics, Gambit, who is a charming womanizer, has a romance with the never-can-be-touched Rogue).
I'm the type of movie viewer that wants to enjoy the film as it was intended to be watched, and reading overt plot twists beforehand is not key.

Anyway, she manages to be surprisingly sympathetic as the authoress of the SCUM manifesto (that's "Society for the Cutting Up of Men") and a play entitled "Up Your...," which I suppose is appropriate considering the decadence depicted.
The print is finely cut, the acting is superior, and there's an underlying sense of something close to the heroic in a clearly quixotic way.

The movie carries itself like a documentary, then gets bogged down in some kind of plot (which is actually reserved for the African-American half of the cast plus Schiffer), making any kind of real exploration seem even more contrived than it was.
