I’m only about 1.70m tall, but still I had to fold myself in a seat in the Oude Luxor some Filmsfestivals ago to see 2005s’ Takeshis’ by Kitano Takeshi. It’s an interesting, though sometimes hard to follow movie about succesfull actor Takeshi who meets his unsuccesfull counterpart Kitano.
So is this movie an autobiography then? Well, maybe. The movie certainly consists of Takeshi’s own view on the world of cinema, but it’s also made in his own fashion. No wonder the worlds of both Takeshi and Kitano are becoming one more and more. (Do you still follow me, because this is where I lost it sometimes.) Continue reading ‘Och’s Monday Movie: Takeshis’’
There’s only one week of k00rs left in the 90th Giro d’Italia and still no decision has been made which of i campione del ciclismo will carry the maglia rosa as this year’s vincitore. So, to keep my promise made at the previous Weekend Movie, it’s time to feature the most renowned representative of Italian Neorealism: Ladri di Biciclette (1948), or Bicycle Thieves, which nicely translates into Dutch as vieze vuile smerige klootzakken.

Schotte, Gino Bartali, Fiorenzo Magni, Giordano Cottur, Totò (in the foreground, with his stunt double [I think] in the background), Louison Bobet, Fausto Coppi, and Ferdi Kübler.
I campioni del ciclismo thought that smoking cigars was perhaps the source of Totò’s cycling success, so next day they were all seen at the stage start with various cigars. Coppi gets the biggest cigar, and the biggest laughs.
What better way to celebrate the 90th edition of the Giro d’Italia than with Totò Al Giro D’Italia (1948) featuring the most famosi i campioni del ciclismo from Italy.

In the Sexploitation trilogy the OchCult Corner dives into the sewers of the movie industry. The baddest from the bad. To learn more about this subgenre of the exploitation scene, please read the wikipedia. This weekend the first movie. A real must see for all the movie addicts who likes bad movies
Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS
Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS is not your traditionally Weekendmovie and/or World War II flick . It is a movie about the horrific experiments which took place in camps of the Nazi regime during World War II. Ilsa, played by sexploitation star Dyanne Thorne, acts like a Mengele to prove that women can stand more pain than men and therefor are more suited to fight against the allies.
It goes without saying that the torture and bloodsplatters are not from the air. Combined with unfunctional nakedness and a lot of nazi uniforms the ingredients for a great sexploitation movie have all been fulfilled.

Ce n’est pas l’histoire d’un champion que nous allons vous raconter ici, mais celle d’un petit coureur ayant rêvé de gloire et dont le plus grand malheur est de ne pas eu les jambes que son coeur mérite.
Een film waarin alles haar plaats heeft. De demarrage op de Muur van Geraardsbergen gevolgd door het gekronkel van zij die gezien zijn, de interviews in de douches in het vélodrome van Roubaix, een korte glimp van de Casse Déserte op d’Izoard, het vluchtig passeren van een grote kei op de Kale Berg ter nagedachtenis van een tot tweemaal toe gevallen renner, de gangmakers van de monsterrit Bordeaux-Parijs, de ploegleiderswagen der ploegleiderswagens en de entree van de aerodynamica. Zij worden gereduceerd tot noodzakelijke entourage als ware zij de waaiers voor de kust in De Ronde, het stuk van Luik naar Bastenaken, de eerste twee passages van de Cauberg of Mur de Huy.
In Le Vélo zijn het de coureurs acteurs die de film hard schoon maken. Eén korte blik op de geharde en geboetseerde koppen van Ghislain en zijn illustere koersgenoten en je hoort de stem van Jacqeus Chapel al de namen van de kopgroep in mitrallieur-staccato door de ether slingeren. Het kan niet anders of hun harkende lijven alsof door een helastiek voortgetrokken moeten als voorbeeld hebben gediend voor de karikaturen uit Les Triplettes De Belleville.
Voor zover mijn tot mislukken gedoemde chasse patat om de mooiste wielerfilm ooit te beschrijven. Enfin, pour les petites coureurs
, het mes erop en stoempen kijken!

Hey man, This weekend’s Weekend Movie even spinned games, so it’s got ta be g00d heh?
Anywho, roundabout this day, some 2000 years ago, a jew died on the cross, supposedly as a redemption for all of our sins, whether they were commited at that time or not (can you imagine? He (Yeshua ben Yusef) died, voluntarily, to redeem us all (WOW!). How can I (or you) not like him? I mean, that would be impossible, wouldn’t it?). To thank him (yes, no capital h) I think we should all watch this movie about a gang called The Warriors, because they, too, take the blame for a crime they did not commit.

Today’s weekendmovie is a proper Japanese slasher made by Takashi Miike whom we all know from Ichi the Killer of course. I got this flick from a colleague of mine with more or less the same taste in blood and guts so i’d like to thank Bas for this great piece. As usual it’s properly ripped in Divx, around a gig i believe and we had it warmed up since thursday so the seed is already up.
Have fun with it,

There is no solitude greater than the Samurai’s, unless perhaps it be that of a tiger in the jungle – The Bushido (Book of the Samurai).
Le Samouraï (1967) is the first of three collaborations between director Jean-Pierre Melville and actor Alain Delon, with Le Cercle Rouge (1970) being the second, and Un Flic (1972) the third, and is Melville’s most renowned and Delon’s most career-defining film.

Last weekend in Hollywood there was a party. At this party some people got a nice golden statue for behaving very well at the movies. The people who made The Departed got home with the most of these shiny thingy’s. That movie (or rather the film it’s based on) already got some attention here at Och.

Drums and i don’t mean cesar zuiderwijk drums, but those of indians that may or may not have foretold us and or any american that invading another country might not be such a good idea.
There are drums beyond the mountain and they’re getting mighty near
And when they think that they’d changed me cut my hair to meet their needs
Will they think I’m white or Indian quarter blood or just half breed
Let me tell you Mr teacher when you say you’ll make me right
In five hundred years of fighting not one Indian turned white
And there are drums…
