We’ve been spending a lot of time here at Blunt HQ, doing not a lot over the past few weeks, except eating turkey and dozing on the sofa. (we’re not knocking it, neither!!!) This, in turn, has seen us settle down to enjoy yet more random films and documentaries. So, because we’re nice, we thought we’d let you take a look at whats being shown on the Blunt Goggle (or should I say Google?) box.

Bollywood Thriller

Now, this has been doing the rounds on the internet for a while now, but it still deserves a mention. Hilarious. For all the wrong reasons… As the title suggests, this is Bollywood-style take on the legendary Michael Jackson video “Thriller”. And, my God, is it way off the mark!

If you thought Wacko looked a bit iffy, you have to check this dude. The dancing, costumes, and keyboard solos are supreme. Brilliant.

Inside Ferrari

Yes, it is a bit geeky, and yes, we are all boys here at Blunt HQ. This film was shot by National Geographic, who were allowed access to the Ferrari factory in Maranello, Northern Italy. This in itself is worth a mention, as the supercar manufacturer rarely allows anyone to take a peek behind its historic and secretive doors. The film gives some background to the marque, and follows a model through design, manufacture, and testing, and is a great demonstration of the technology and skill involved in creating a $250,000 work of automotive art.

As I said, this is a little on the geeky side, but take a look. It’s unlikely you’ll ever come across this much footage from inside the Maranello gates again.

Going Straight

Well, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without some Ronnie Barker! This is the pilot episode for the BBC series “Going Straight”, which follows on from the fantastically successful “Porridge”. - Here we see cockney tea-leaf Fletch (Barker) finally released after doing his time. He’s on the train back to London, a free man. But, hold on a minute, what’s that “nark” Mr Mackay doing on the train?. Funny. Classic British comedy from one of the best.

Kick Fighters

This is another little number we came across that was filmed by National Geographic, so you know the footage is going to be tight, whatever the topic. In this film, we get a look at Thai Boxing. Mad Stuff. Takes a balanced look at the fighting, as well as the discipline and training involved in this extreme form of boxing, showing why it is an important and traditional part of Thai culture.

Graffiti Fuck

A very basic, but somewhat compelling film. It simply shows New York graffiti artists as they hit the streets, and paint their pieces. Some mad artwork and locations on show here. As real as it gets. Shot in 2004.

Meerkats Divided

Another Christmas requirement at Blunt HQ is a good Attenborough nature documentary. This BBC film is the tale of the Ado Meerkat gang, and their leaders Enkozi and Brown-Eyes. Wonderful stuff, and fantastically shot. - Just watch it and see!!

Well, there you go, there’s a few little visual delights to keep you ticking along. Dont forget to look in our archives for other films, on all kinds of random topics!
