Yeah. I think the edit must have sugar coated their trip a bit, there's some internal turmoil and people 'getting off the bus' but with the amount of acid they were taking it had to have got a lot darker than the doc shows.
They also mention the 'ultimate psychedelic' IC220 or something, which I can't find any reference to anywhere outside this film.

Miss Baja - A beauty queen contestant gets mixes up in Mexican drug wars. An excellent, if somewhat depressing, film. We had to rewind a couple of bits to be sure about what happened as it was occasionally confusing. There are little details that make you think. As the IMDB comments suggest, it's not a film in the US model where everything is explained for you and made really obvious.

Have you read Tom Wolfe's book (Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test) on this? Be interested to hear how the two marry up. I'd like to see it, can't imagine they all come across as particularly likeable, but their place in drug lore can't be doubted.

The film is called "Miss Bala" (a pun, which translates as Miss Bullet). I watched it last week. I thought it started well and then ran out of steam in the second half. What about it made you think ?

I've been meaning to read it, MrsN1 has it in her collection which is unfortunately in boxes at the moment. Ken Kessey comes across like a bit of a cunt in the film IMO and a few travellers were very happy to get off the bus.

The bit when she's looking out from under the bed and the ending. We replayed that a couple of times. Where was she?

The Film about Guy Martin and the Isle Of Man TT. Outstanding in every way. On par with Faster, Faster. A film that draws one in. Wish I'd seen it in 3D but nonetheless it stands on its own as a very well made documentary. The flaming bike scene was incredible!
5/5

Thirst - Park Chan-Wook's vampire film. Some absolutely lovely moments, like when he's hanging upside down like a bat on the guttering, but the film as a whole seemed less than the sum of its parts. Perhaps because the characters weren't drawn as fully as I think they needed to be.
The Conformist - Finally got around to watching this after downloading it ages ago. Ever bit as good as everyone says. Achingly beautiful, brilliantly acted top notch.

Starter for 10.
I liked this film for the nostalgia - set in 1985 uni. scene, I thought the style was spot on. Passage of rites film, with some reference to the class shitstem, but it was essentially a feel good film. Lot of Cure/Smiths in soundtrack. I thought Rebbeca Hall nailed her part as what she called a student who "appeared more worldly wise, than she was" - I remember that aspect to loads of people where I went. James McAvoy did a great mockney part for a weegie.

Watched this this evening. Nature red in tooth and claw, veered between grim and utterly fascinating.

Hah, just downloaded that, haven't got around to watching it yet.
Possession - the Sam Neill, Isabel Adjani one rather than the dreadful adaptation of AS Byatt's book. Whatever you think of the film you have to give it to Adjani for absolutely giving it her all. What with this and going to see A Dangerous Method at the cinema I've seen quite a lot of hysterical women on the screen this weekend.
The Last of England - first Derek Jarman film I've seen, I really liked the 1st half with the narration but I think it could lose about a third if the running time and work just as well.

I've been watching the series MI5, I think called 'Spooks' in the UK.
Sometimes the plots are a bit over the top, but the characterization is excellent.

Bringing Up Baby on the iPlayer which is a great B&W comedy and wifeys favourite
