  • Although the pyramids are great, very atmospheric, I just can't get why when Fekkesh is talking to Major Amasova in the relative safety of a crowd after spotting Jaws, he would get up and put himself in mortal danger by going away from the crowd and…
  • For me the main thing I'd change is that Jaws dies in the end. I do believe that initially that was in the script. There will probably be some more later when I've had chance to think a bit!
  • What a complete balls-up EON's become. It's almost like they are trying to kill the golden calf. These extended periods between films is really not on. Waiting for a director (i.e. Mendes for SPECTRE) instead of just going ahead and making the next …
  • Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins…(1985) dir. Guy Hamilton. Arrow Video blu-ray. Well this was better than I was expecting, a great little fun movie (only spoilt by some cheesy songs on the soundtrack and a score that veered into 80s action tv the…
  • Of course, Blofeld was THE crazy cat person! My puss, Charlotte, is actually the crazy one in my house. Absolute bonkers.

  • A Pistol For Ringo (1965) dir. Duccio Tessari. Arrow Video blu-ray. Any early Spaghetti Western which is filmed more like a traditional American Western, none of the stylistic tropes associated with the genre. Starring an athletic Giuliano Gemma as …

  • Coffy (1973) dir. Jack Hill. Arrow Video blu-ray. Great slice of 70s Blaxplotation cinema with the impressive Pam Grier. A late-shift nurse takes revenge on drug pushers who messed-up her 11-year-old sister and her ex-boyfriend cop. Then she goes af…

  • @DarthDimi - when I've got a spare half-day I'll get round to reading it, that's a long one! Looks interesting.
  • Ah, you have a women's thread! If ever I need my spirits lifting then it's on with Potato featuring one of the best characters, long on beard and short on leg, it's Captain Red Beard Rum - Ah hah!
