tonight: a stranger in paso bravo, after i read some reviews i take it from ebay

Great film yes, but if Saura made in '65 he really was a visionary
Most dificult film to do in 1965 (if something like that had happened at the time it would have been all covered up), it was easier for Franco (Jess not the other one)to do a vampire lesbo flick. In any case he did La Caza in 1964 (his first film) which Iâm still surprised how they let him made it, if you have already seen it you would know why, donât forget that all Iberia was under totalitariam regimes, and even if Spain was more open in artistic terms, thing were not easy for any cinema director wo wanted to tackle some aspects of then society, By the way La CAza also should have a special mention a good film.

Iron Maiden: Live After Death[/quote]
Iâm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life, and it doesnât have much time
âCause at 5 oâclock they take me to The Gallowâs Pole
The sands of time for me are running low
Iâve used to bump up a lot with these hairy guys in Algarve, they all have houses in Albufeira, and when they were there the beer consumption increased a lot
Just finished watching the original Death Wish, while on my Bronson kick.
Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS. Loved it.
Watched Mr Majestyk, its great, but donât think itâs up there with Bronsons best.
In Bruges
Another late entry in the line of films which I think werenât made without Pulp fiction. This is a nice one. 7/10
(It seems that Bruges is a beautiful city in which all people happen to speak English and no one cares very much if there are a few shoot-outs amongst the foreigners in the streets)
Fuzz.
Early 70âs Burt Reynolds cop one which is a pretty low key affair on the whole, and just cannot get into this films style / tone which is a little hard to describe. The comedy in the film just does not work, and Yul Brynner has a very strange role as the âDeaf Manâ.
MindHunters 2004
Was on TV, and Iâm so weak that only have the strength to pick the nearest remote
Another one of those the killer is among us thrillers, with a lot of familiar faces, surprise to see Kilmer in such a small role, not so much for Christian Slater (he must be used by now).
Anyhow not a particular inspired one, the cast seemed totally out of place Jonny Lee Miller was menacing in Train-spotting not here , the plot was trivial and full of holes (big ones), you get the feeling that they are letting anyone enter the FBI these days, the dead scenes were cool at least, turning Kilmer into a puppet was the best of the film.
Forgettable

In the late middle ages the earldoms (counties) of Flanders and Brabant were local super powers; therefore these regions can compete with some Italian, Spanish or British regions as far as beautiful cities and towns are concerned : Bruges, Ghent, Ieper, Veurne, Brussels, Antwerp, 's Hertogenbosch âŠ
Bruges is often called the most beautiful one of these (itâs ranked among the ten most beautiful urban locations in the world), and it is, but ⊠only a limited number of buildings date from the 14-17th century, most of them date from the 19th century and are built in a neo-classical style (personally I prefer Ghent).
I donât think the people from Bruges are used to people running around with guns, but they sure are used to films being shot in their little city (itâs not that big actually). Bruges and Ghent are favourite locations of European film makers who are making a movie set in medieval times.
All people speaking English in Bruges: Some say the people from Bruges simply have to speak English, because if they spoke Dutch (or better: their local variation on it) nobody would understand them. My wife lived in Bruges for about twenty years so she speaks the local dialect fluently; after all these years, I am able to decypher most of it, but not all. You might know that the âgâ is a difficult letter to pronounce in Dutch. Bruges is written âBruggeâ in Dutch, so with a double g. The point is that the g is not pronounced in brugois, and is replaced by what is called a âhollow hâ: open your mouth as if you want to say âhaaâ, but only let pass the air, donât say a thing - thatâs a hollow h. So Brugge is pronounced: BruâŠe.
The film: nice lightweight movie

Wasnât Raquel Welch in this one though Ennioo? As I remember she made the whole thing just about watchable.

Like this one a lot. Redeemed Colin Farrell as a talent for me.
I watched W. C. Fields in Six of a Kind yesterday. Fields is great, the movieâs terrible.

The all-speak-the-same-language part is a typical compromise of films set in another country. So this wasnât meant serious by me.
Interestingly there was in this one not one dialogue which referred to the fact that our 2 killers were in a foreign country. Someone from outside Europe might think that Belgium is a British province. (Or something like Wales)
In Germany the G is spoken, it is even a double G: BrĂŒgge
The black humour on the film is quite good, the scene on the train where the guy says to Farrell that is not American but Canadian, is just an example.
Agreed. Was surprisingly pleased with this one when I rented it!
âWild Hogsâ Not a classic but harmless fun. 6/10
This is one I watched recently. It wasnât bad and there are a couple of genuinely spellbinding scenes â I loved the bit where the tortured girl crawls across the bed while Ilsa is tied to it.
I disagree. I think itâs one of his best. A fantastic bit of action.
For what itâs worth, I also liked In Bruges. I still canât stand Colin Farrell, though.
I just watched a film noir, Night and the City. Before that I watched The Plague of the Zombies, which was awesome.

I know you were joking, but it offered me the opportunity to make this remark about the dialect from Bruges
BrĂŒgge: I think your âgâ is different from ours, itâs more like the g in the french word garçon (itâs at least not gutteral like in Dutch). We pronounce the u in Brugge more or less like the u in lucky. Our g is more like the ch in MĂŒnchen or Mönchengladbach
