It is actually Woods who does the singing in Starblack though it looks like his just mouthing something random -and playing some random chords- in that scene.

interesting, in that case it is terribly out of sync
can you write a paragraph or two about this disc? I am working on a composite review of the box and I could do with some contributors (1 paragraph about the film, 1 about the bluray - quality, extras, etc)
Day 2: Johnny Hamlet (1968). I watched this western-style retelling of the Shakespearean play, and had a good time. I had to do a double-take when I saw the great Pedro Sanchez without his salt and pepper beard, and with red hair.

Do you have a deadline? I could give it a go but I’m no great critic
Deadline is November 19 
just write something of of your chest, no need to be a film critic 
Day 3
The Return of Ringo (1965)
Ritorno di Ringo, Il - The Spaghetti Western Database (spaghetti-western.net)
A re-watch that is another “sequel” that I prefer over the original.

I don’t particularly like the movie, but the soundtrack is wondrous and the film has one of the best opening scenes in the history of the genre.
Well, Fidani is a luxury comparatively speaking, I’m about to tick the last Lattanzi off my watchlist and the prospect makes me feel uneasy.

Entry No. 3 in my #Spagvemberfest run is nothing less than one of the best
CEMETERY WITHOUT CROSSES (Une Corde, Un Colt) , which I watched on the Arrow Video BluRay that’s been sitting around for years. My first contact with this classic I think was an older German DVD, and this is of course a huge step up, but alas - not as crisp and clean a transfer I hoped (for the sake of the legacy of the film). It has always been one of my favorites, and oh boy does it deliver: dirty, sinister, brutal, depressing… but with real characters, real (and familiar) faces, realistic settings, actual production design and cinematographz, a gripping story and a fantastic sountrack. As Marvin Schwarz would’ve said “What a picture!” 4.5/5
By the way what puzzled me a bit was the discrepancy between Italian and English here… so they’re definitely more dubtitles. It’s not radical but some scenes are quite strongly altered in meaning or plainly made up. But then I realized I had the English SDH subtitles on and there was actually another set of English subtitles which are a new translation, and that one is more accurate. But the disc menu is a bit confusing in that regard.

First time watch. This ultra last hurrah to the SW genre is highly underrated in my opinion. It takes its time a little, but it’s a very engaging story, and very accurate in terms of the period. Franco Nero is always excellent in his roles, and John Saxon and David Hess make great villains.

3rd - One fidani per spagvember is reasonable amount of fidani. Yes, just make the most epic poster imaginable and then deliver highly mediocre spaghet, which starts promising but soon enough evolves into trash, why not. 3/10

You possibly couldn’t have picked a worse Fidani spag, it’s the blandest of them all even if he’s made worse stuff than this. It’s too conventional for a Fidani flick which is why it is not that good, it’s just boring.
Today I’ve seen Hey Amigo! A Toast to Your Death and it’s a pretty good one. Bianchini does not have much to work with here, but he still manages to wring every bit of potential and energy out of the undeniably spartan content.
This is one of the spaghs no one really talks about, but it’s actually pretty decent and displays an unusual dose of style for such a cheap looking production. It’s just a mid-tier spaghie with not much to offer in terms of originality, but the flick stays true to the genre roots and makes the best of its story despite its conspicuous superficiality. It’s nice to see a serious, low-budgeted spag with some gravel pits that is not a complete joke.

I’m following @SCOTTY footsteps on this one. First time watching a Mexican western. It’s available in YouTube.

I was intrigued by the first 15 minutes and egg-throwing scene, but then it turned to shit, my bad.
A decent cheapo, I liked that one too.

-Yesterday while watching Starblack I was thinking how annoying the saloon fight scene was in it. And now I’m already having a re-run because this film has that scene recycled in it! Otherwise rather ok film but it uses a lot of recycled material from other sw’s which is weird because most of them don’t add anything important to the film and with the running time of 98 minutes it’s not like they needed to add those to make it full length film. 4/10

Day 3
First-time watch, was kinda hoping for a little bit more from this one. Felt quite run-of-the-mill despite having a blind gunslinger as the protagonist.
Tommorow’s watch will be El Condor, I’d never even heard of it until @LeSpecialiste posted about it and that poster looks cool as hell.
On an unrelated note, it’s really cool to see this forum so active. It’s awesome to see so many SW fan all together

Day 3: ‘May God Forgive You … I Won’t’ (1968)
Superior ‘B’ Movie … fast moving, violent and entertaining.
The new German release BD looks great, except that about 1/4 of the screen on the right is out of focus. Perhaps the negative or master print had a physical warp, but this is a big ‘NO-NO’ in these days of technical excellence.

I was gonna wait till toward the end of the month to pop in the Blu Ray to see how the transfer was after seeing the Film&Clips YouTube channel copy last year, but I’ll pop it in sooner to see now.

SPAGVEMBERFEST DAY 3
Tonight, I’m going with one of the earliest - and best - of the Zapata westerns, in the form of A Bullet For the General (Damiani, 1966), one of the better-looking spags outside of the Leones and featuring top-drawer performances from both Lou Castel and the magnetic, always-brilliant Gian Maria Volonté, abetted by a scene-stealing turn from Klaus Kinski. A magnificent western full of all the best traits that spaghettis had to offer, A Bullet For the General is an absolute must-see for anybody even half-interested in exploring the sub-genre further. ¡Viva la revolución!
