Mr. Bowie is on ITV1 at the moment. Hopefully it's not regional so you can all enjoy some good quarter to one in the morning telly. Not sure how long it's been on for mind, or how long's left...but he seems to be enjoying himself.

EDIT:
Just went to a break, its 'Live By Request 2002'...so it's probably been seen by anyone whose interested already. Never mind.

Panorama: The Killers BBC One on Sunday, 4 April 2004 at 2215 BST

A documentary by Fergal Keane, 10 years after the Rwanda Genocide.  A true testament to the power of media, misinformation and propaganda.

QuoteIt was as if we were taken over by Satan. We were taken over by Satan. When Satan is using you, you lose your mind. We were not ourselves. Beginning with me, I don't think I was normal.

Not for the faint hearted I fear.

Tonight on BBC1 at 11:30pm...

A Concert For George.

Quote from: "The Radio Times (Online)"
Staged at the Royal Albert Hall on 29 November 2002 — exactly a year after George Harrison's sad and untimely death — and unfussily filmed by David Leland and Chris Menges using over a dozen cameras, this celebration of George's music proves once and for all that the "quiet Beatle" was a consummate songwriter in his own right. Surviving Beatles Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney (whose ukulele introduction to Something is a genuinely fond showstopper), Travelling Wilburys Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty, and key musical collaborators Eric Clapton and Ravi Shankar join Harrison's son Dhani in an all-star update of the first rock aid gig, The Concert for Bangladesh. Whether you're young or old, just sit back and feel the quality.

A short while before that on Five at 09:00pm...

The Godfather

Quote from: "The Radio Times (Online) also"
This crime drama and its 1974 sequel are among American cinema's finest achievements since the Second World War.

The production problems are well documented — how Paramount wanted a quickie, how Francis Ford Coppola came cheap and how he turned the picture into an epic success, a box-office hit that was also an artistic triumph.

His first masterstroke was casting Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall and Diane Keaton, four relative unknowns and one known risk; his next masterstroke was to keep cool under fire, like Michael Corleone himself, turning Mario Puzo's pulp novel into art and showing how capitalism and crime go hand in hand.

It's thrilling, romantic, tense and scary — a five-course meal that leaves you hungry for more.

Easy now.

The American Nightmare  
BBC2   Monday 05 April 11:20pm

Quote from: "Radio Times"Referencing such horror classics as George A Romero's Night of the Living Dead, Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and David Cronenberg's Shivers, this unflinching documentary from Adam Simon wipes away the gore to reveal the dark underside of American society that inspired them. It's hardly revelatory to blame the sexual revolution, Vietnam, racial tension and Watergate for the moral breakdown that fostered the spirit of suspicion and fear that fed these films, but Simon's selection of clips and interviews (notably with Romero and make-up maestro Tom Savini) skilfully supports the thesis. There's a touch too much hindsight, perhaps, but it's still gripping stuff.

I haven't seen this before, or ever heard of it (it was made in 2000), but it sounds quite interesting.

Given that it's a documentary with clips 'n interviews with horror directors, displaying the cast wasn't strictly necessary:

Quote from: "Radio Times"Cast List
George A Romero  .....   George A Romero
John Carpenter  .....   John Carpenter
Tom Savini  .....   Tom Savini
David Cronenberg  .....   David Cronenberg
Wes Craven  .....   Wes Craven
John Landis  .....   John Landis
Tobe Hooper  .....   Tobe Hooper

They should have mixed them up and got them to play each other - so that John Carpenter  played Tom Savini, Tom Savini played Wes Craven, etc - just for a bit of a laugh.

It was great wasn't it? I've never seen a zombie movie before (I suppose Silent Hill and Res Evil don't count), and I'm glad I popped my cherry with this one. It was grim and great.

Silver SurferGhost

The Dead movies have so much more to recommend them than simply being gorefests,
but if that's all you're after then they still won't disappoint.
Remarkable considering how cheaply they were made.
If you liked that one, don't forget the original Dawn Of The Dead tomorrow night, apart from some dodgy acting it's ace.
And Tom Savini's in it with some comedy Hell's Angels.
I'm reliably informed that seeing this doesn't spoil the remake either as only the basic premise is the same.
While (from what I've seen of it) the new remake looks good on it's own terms, there doesn't seem much point
in really comparing the two.
As they're trying to in plugging the new one.
The American Nightmare was pretty good too, I thought, given the limited amount of time it had to cover that many film makers.

Quotebottlerocket on at stupid o clock in the morning tonight
They pulled it and put The Howling on instead...I was looking forward to Bottlerocket as well.

Tonight, Sean Penn's The Crossing Guard BBC1 11.55
Jack Nicholson contemplates revenge on the hit-and-run driver who killed his daughter.
A thoughtful slow-burning character study, not a revenge thriller (Sean Penn, innit).
Alternatively on BBC2 at 11.50, Pandaemonium, looking at the relationship between Coleridge and Wordsworth.
Might be interesting, but could just as easily be a style-over-content chummy *Brit-Pack* movie.
Especially as Julien Temple directed it.
It might just be like Plunkett and McLeane without all the shooting, or Robert Carlyle and Ken Stott to save it.

Two cracking films on almost back to back on Sunday night on Channel 4, starting with John Woo's Hard-Boiled, in my view his best work and the film that made his name in the west. He crams every trick he knows into, its incredibly fast paced and its got chow Yun Fat in it, what more do you want?
Swiftly followed by Freeway, which is a modern day, brutal take on little red riding hood, with Kiefer Sutherland as you've never seen him before and the same goes for the heroine, Reese Witherspoon. If you associate her with things like Legally Blonde and haven't seen this, it'll be an eye-openeer and you'll see why some people think she's a brilliant actress.
First one at 11:40, the next at 2:30 after half an hour of some bollocks so set those videos...
