No Safe Haven is great Hauser fun, quite the b movie. Loads of action, sadistic revenge and boobs.
The other Hauser I´ve seen is Reason to Die, a South African giallo with a huge body count. The next Hauser I´ll be watching is probably The Siege of Firebase Gloria, A Vietnam flick shot in the Philipines.
I’ve seen Hauser in Tough guys Don’t Dance which is a trashy neo-noir that’s complete bonkers and i enjoyed the hell out of it.
On her body
(Sorry about the omission)
I recently watched The Outfit, which was awesome and has me in the mood for more Donald Westlake related stuff. I think I will watch The Split next (I’ve seen Point Blank and The Hot Rock). Anyway, I particularly enjoyed Joe Don Baker in The Outfit – he has fantastic screen presence.
Also watched Maniac, which was a bit silly. The gore might have been ground breaking at the time, but now we’ve seen it all before.
Toxic Avenger Part 2.
Are hero continues to clean up his town Tromaville !
Not as good as the first film which is one of my favourite Troma films. This lacks pace as to overlong.
THE MOLLY MAGUIRES - Pinkerton agent infiltrates a violent group of irish mine workers in order to bring evidence to the police and bring them to justice. When I saw Martin Ritt’s name on the credits I knew that this would be a quality film and it was one indeed. Excellent perfomances by Richard Harris and Sean Connery who doesn’t talk much, especially in the beginning, but he’s just as good, and at times even better, than some of his other more well-known roles. Powerful ending with a great last shot showing Richard Harris probably feeling guilty as hell inside walking out of the scene and in the backround people practicing in the gallows for the forthcoming hangings.

Heh, just yesterday I was talking to some guy about the problem we Spanish speaking people have with the whole “on/in” thing since we use the same word for both meanings. I always get them mixed up.
Italian is extra difficult because they make one word of the preposition + the article
su + il = sul (sul corpo di Jennifer)
in + il = nel (nel corpo di Jennifer)
As far as I know you don’t do that in Spanish. But prepositions always pose problems, in every language
Lets Get Harry.
Man is kidnapped and his brother and friends go to rescue him. Robert Duvall plays a mercenary who helps the guys. The type of film that was made in the wake of Rambo First Blood Part Two. Brad Fidiel was at his peak when he scored this one in the 80’s. Been done many times before the film, but it just has a good feel about the film. But most of all the film delivers the correct amount of action where necessary.

No, we don’t do that. I actually got it right from Italian to Spanish but failed in my translation to English since as I said, I always get “in/on” mixed up. You’ll see me making this mistake pretty often since I never had any formal English education so I learned mostly by myself and there are some things that I still can’t get right.
Also, Italian and Spanish are quite similar in many ways, so even when some nuances and specific meanings can be as hard to understand as any other language, it’s easier for us to get a general idea of what somebody’s talking about in an Italian text/dialogue. Same with Portuguese, in my case Brazilian Portuguese since the European kind sounds pretty different.

But this is done in Spanish in the case of to + the or from/of + the
At least in the masculine form. Not the feminine.
So, a + el = al de + el = del
An example in a title would be Four of the Apocalypse which, in Spanish is Los Cuatro del Apocalipsis
Yes, but it’s done only in those two cases and just in the masculine as you say. I think Italian is far more complex in that aspect. And the form is more simple since it’s just an elimination of a letter when in Italian you’ve got the case of in + il = nel.
I think we got this thread a bit off topic.
THE DON IS DEAD - Strong plot, great cast, very good pace. Excellent one, I enjoyed it very much. Recommended for fans of 70s crime/mafia-related flicks.
The Devil’s Double I really enjoyed this, even though it was not quite what I was expecting (I was under the illusion that he become more and more like him and his evil ways), A fantastic performance by Dominic Cooper, it was so easy to forget he was playing both roles. Obviously they couldn’t have filmed it in Iraq and I was intrigued to as where it was filmed, I was expecting it to be somewhere else in that part of the world and it was quite a surprise to me whilst reading the end credits that it was filmed in Malta. Highly recommended.
Horrible Bosses. Pretty raunchy but also pretty funny.
Le corniaud (The Sucker) (1965) with Louis de Funès.
I wasn’t expecting too much, but this is highly recommendable comedy, extremely funny and very entertaining.
Really loved it. 8)
Gordon’s War (1973) - Low budget beautifully gritty crime film… a great motorbike chase at the end and some nice set pieces throughout the film… some may find it slow paced, but I didn’t.

[size=12pt]ORANGES AND SUNSHINE[/size] (2010, Jim Loach)
Jim is the son of. His first feature film (after a lot of work for television) tells the story of Margaret Humphries, a social worker from Nottingham, who uncovered the truth about the child migration program, under which over 100.000 British children were taken away from their parents, and sent to Australia. They were promised the oranges and sunshine from the title, but instead they were forced to do slave labour in the suffocating heat of the Australian inland, and often sexually abused by the priests who were supposed to look after them.
I’m not really a fan of Emily Watson, but she’s pretty good here, and so are Hugo Weaving and David Wenham as two of the victims. An interesting debut of the son, well-made, well-told, but lacking the intensity and genuine indignation of the movies of the father. It therefore takes some time to get into it, but patient viewers are rewarded.

Finished watching the 13 episode mini series Villains, good stuff.
