Cult Labs - What Have You Bought Recently?

I bought the dual format release a few years ago. So disappointing. Couldn't wait to get rid of it.

Reading into it at the time nobody liked it. Caine and co-star Candice Bergen hated it

Well that's odd. For some reason I thought it was your review had got it on my wishlist. Though its been on there for years.

Edit: - definitely not the case. Your review, both times made it clear the film was dire.

There are also way too many for me to ever watch, also a hell of a lot i don't wish to watch either. Too many small parts in bigger films whereas Clint was always the star.

To be clear here old Maurice Micklewhite is merely an example of an actor I once had no time for that now I have plenty of time for. I'm not saying everything he's been involved in is gold. Eastwood, well again I can't say, I've not been overly disappointed so far but I've many many films to catch up on. One I recall thinking was awful is the one he did with Burt Reynolds. City Heat is it???
I suppose old Burt is another example, although I still can't say I'm a huge fan.

City Heat isn't great but it does have it's moments. It's not a genuinely poor film.

I've no desire to pick it up on Blu-ray that's for sure.

So apparently I bought Four Flies On Grey Velvet again :lol:

When my original order arrived along with Eyeball I also got an extra copy of Eyeball and now today I just got an extra copy of Four Flies :lol:

On top of this Amazon have refunded me money because the price dropped from my original order :lol:

I have no idea what's going on here.

I would say that it is one of the most wonderfully enigmatic films that I've ever seen. It is very well shot as well and features some wonderful locations. It is a film that really makes you think.

But like Jess Franco's films for example, it won't be to everyone's taste. Although I'm not comparing it to any of Uncle Jess' films, just to be clear!

New arrivals:

"The Raven" is an upgrade, one of my favourite Price films, plus Karloff and Lorre! what's not to love? :loveeyes:

"Dr. Terror's House of Horrors" is another upgrade for my Cushing collection, thanks to a great tip from @Demdike to a website where it was on sale!

"Forbidden Fruit #3: Unashamed (1938) & Elysia (1933)". Of the two, I had only watched Elysia and it is wonderful, hopefully this will be a better transfer. I've always been very curious about Unashamed and it also includes a commentary. Plus three rare shorts! It's a whole weekend right there :)
