Have already watched Texas 2 (alone with headphones! As my wife only has patience/respect for the original film in this particular franchise) and am looking forward to checking out the others very soon before Shape of Water and Black Panther finally get UK release in a fortnight's time.

My wife wants to watch Bava's Black Sabbath tomorrow evening. The Arrow has both the Italian and US cuts. I don't know which to choose (previously I've only seen the US version). Any advice on which of the two cuts I should show her? btw Is it true that the Italian version has richer colours?
I would definitely go for the Italian cut. Not only does the AIP version cut up, censor and change the stories but it completely changes the sound design too. This is particularly so for the last and most effective story in the Italian version, The Drop of Water, where its subtle tone is replaced by a bombastic Les Baxter score in the US cut.

I always go for the original Italian versions of all Bava's films, as he envisioned them himself. They are ALL superior cuts in my book.

Ordered The 13th Warrior from French Amazon (the blu-ray's French subtitles are removable). This is a birthday present for my wife. It's quite a brave purchase for me as I recall this film making me feel quite ill when I previously saw it. The viking characters blow loogies into a communal bowl which they then drink from (or something like that - I can't recall the exact scene). Hopefully rewatching this will be much easier the second time around!

btw Her other 2 presents are a Baby Groot flower pot and a set of 4 Harry Potter glass coasters. So all film related gifts.

Really enjoyed this when i saw it at Frightfest last August. It's not a horror but a low budget Tarantino style crime movie which i am surprised has not yet had a UK release to my knowledge as went down very well with the audience.
