Some of the dialogue in English is (nearly) incomprehensible: BB spoke no English and had to read her lines phonologically. The best thing about the movie are the action scenes anyway. I don’t think you’ll have any problem to comprehend the movie while missing some of the dialogue.
In a way, as a Brit of a certain age, it is probably the cast itself that is the film’s highlight for me. However poorly utilised they all are. Bardot is always nice to look at of course but it is Eric Sykes, Jack Hawkins, Honor Blackman etc, even Connery himself, which remind me of all the black and white British films and TV I grew up on. They are like a warm blanket for me. Its the same reason I enjoy The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw so much. Kenneth More and a western. It’s like a mash up of every Sunday afternoon movie I watched as a kid.
[b]The Bastard/I Bastardi/b
With Giulianno Gemma, Klaus Kinsky, Margaret Lee and Rita Hayworth.
Good cast, but the film was a disappointment for me, and you could tell from it’s production values that it’s a cheap low budget movie.
It started good, then it dives into boredom territory, especially in the middle when I dozed off a few times had to rewind to catch up again.
Gemma and Kinsky playing brothers who are jewel thieves, with Gemma being betrayed by Kinsky and he wants revenge of course.
Kinsky is good as always, Gemma a mama’s boy is ok, Lee is gorgeous 
and Hayworth is a bit over the top, but hilarious in her role. It could have been better, but it lacked the excitement and action that I expected. 5/10
Ahh, I love your new gif with Delon, chameleon. 
I thought you would! 
Here Comes the Boom
Predictable feel good stuff from Kevin James. Does not aspire to be anything more than what it is. Entertaining standout performance from Bas Rutten. One of the better Kevin James efforts, which isn’t saying much. If you can lower your standards for an hour and a half, pretty entertaining.
End of Watch
Very good performances and realistic depictions of policing and gang violence in East LA. Strong characterizations, I was impressed by the performances of Gyllenhaal as well as the people who played the gang members. I don’t like how the film blurs the lines between documentary and movie. Those who know me know that I’m not a fan about the handheld camera style of film making. Nevertheless its a well made, unique film.
Blade Runner for the second time.
As good as after the first viewing or even better. This is probably the best science fiction flick I’ve ever seen.

The director is a Welschman living in Indonsia. He became fascinated by the local variation on karate, kung fu, etc; Pentjak Silat. This movie stars several fighting stars, creating some of the most spectacular martial arts ever put on film, ever outdoing some of the best things done by Bruce Lee. I know this is saying a lot, but wait until you’ve seen this movie. In recent memory, only the devastating action scenes in Ong Bak come close to what this film has to offer.
The story is about a SWAT team led by their sergeant tot an apartment block in Jakarta, run by a crime lord who has turned it into an impregnable stronghold.
The movie doesn’t even take time to get started, it has a flying start and never lets down. Some have compared it to a video game, with only small pauses between the different ‘levels’ (the team ty to conquer level by level) of action. There are a few twists and turns, but this movie’s not about storytelling but about action and action alone. A sort of rollercoaster ride, ultra-violent (people are killed with guns, knives, axes and machetes) and over before you know it.
No art (unless martial art), short on logic, high on octane.
A Hollywood remake is already in preperation. See the original before it’s too late.
7,5 out of 10
Dark Shadows. Tried to avoid it but someone bought me it. Found some of it amusing(ish) but still pretty much scratching my head about it overall.
Prometheus. Never really been a big fan of the Alien films and this didn’t do a lot to improve upon that. Most of the characters behaved like idiots and not an awful lot of it made sense. But i did understand why one particular friend thought it had to some extent ripped off At The Mountains Of Madness :
Don’t think this one is up for a re-watch anytime soon.
Just finished " The Devils Wedding Night ".
A female vampire played by the lovely Rosalba Neri lures young women to her castle, as she likes to have a bath in their blood from time to time. Mark Damon heads up to the castle on a bit of research, or does he really just want to see Neri’s boobs…this is the question. Alot of nonsense is thrown into the story for good measure, and at times the film is muddled plot wise. But Damon sports a superb mullet style hairstyle which is not to be missed.
Just watched this a couple of months ago. Have to say it made no sense but i found it enjoyable nonetheless. Did a copy for my neighbour and he loved it. Maybe it was the boobs, who knows!
It kept me watching, but like poking a bit of fun about these films at times 
.
To be honest that film was asking for it. Actually my copy had the title “Full Moon Of The Virgins”…
TED and The Watch
both sucked pretty bad
Rosalba Neri…vampire…boobs…
That was all I needed when I watched it.
On a side note. I never have liked the word ‘boobs’. It always makes them sound like some kind of silly mistake which they clearly are not. ???

So…dare i ask which word you prefer?
I never use words like tits or boobs. Sounds terrible for me.
Breasts or bosom.
“Glengarry Glen Ross” - great cast, great writing, excellent flick…

Same. They both sound very cheap and downmarket to me, as well as disrespectful.
