Albert Pyun goes ballistic with BULLETFACE


I've been an Albert Pyun fan for years.  Some love him, so hate him, but you can not deny that he makes films that are unique and have a weird way of subverting the expectations of the audience.
And now he has a new film entitled BULLETFACE, which I think is one of the best B-Movie titles I've ever heard.  What is even more intriguing as that Curnan Pictures has decided to market and distribute these themselves (with Neoflix.com)-and have put together really amazing packages for a great price to get started.

BULLETFACE TRAILER

The Collectors Edition set is 5 discs, which includes Bulletface, a Bulletface commentary disc and a soundtrack CD for Bulletface by the synthtrack movie maestro Tony Riparetti.  This is especially welcome, because I find the pair of composer and director to be a huge part of why I enjoy these movies.



But the fun doesn't stop.  I really enjoyed the Weird Western Tale styled LEFT FOR DEAD from 2007.  The last two discs in the set include the "Inferno Version" of the film, which I'm really intrigued by AND another Riparetti score disc for the film.

LEFT FOR DEAD TRAILER

 
I've only had a chance to listen to both CDs from start to finish and was really surprised by the excellent quality of the releases and the content as well.  Bulletface features two songs by Elyzium and I was really impressed by the track Lost. If you like electronic scores, you'll want both of these discs.



I'll be blogging Bulletface and Left For Dead this week, but I wanted to make sure that any interested Pyunanites saw that this was available via AlbertPyunMovies.com and at 40 percent off of the retail price for a limited time.  Since the cost of the set is less than the cost of one of the soundtracks, I think fans will be happy right out of the gate and I can not wait to take a late night drive to the grooves of Left For Dead.

Tony Riparetti music from Nemesis 2 through 4 (where can I get this for myself???)

Also, be sure to check out the Pyun site for LOTS of interesting content. The blogs and behind the scenes material is a lot of fun to go through. I think this is one of the better filmmaker blogs I've read over the years. Pyun isn't asking for your love here, he is sharing his stories-ones that compliment the movies and are brutally honest about the final product. You have to love that...

Plus, I saw the words NEMESIS 2.0 here. Nemesis is, without a doubt, one of my favorite action films. Give me a ten disc set...hell, just typing Nemesis has me thinking about pulling out my LD player to load up the widescreen edition tonight!

David Z'z 2010 Movie List Project

Lists lists lists...this is the first year I've tried to keep up with all the movies I watch in a year-and the results for 2010 are already kind of scary. Yep, I somehow manage to watch a lot of films and somehow do things like play the entire campaign of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 in two sittings. 
Well, if nothing else, I'm putting my love of movies to good use.  How about you? Anyone else track their viewings?
As for the ratings, these are quick numbers more rated by my enjoyment than any kind of critical standard. For me however, I can't imagine ever rating a movie higher than the fun it gives me!  Here we go...
