Someone once said "if you have nothing good to say say nothing"

Perhaps why we didn't get an opinion of tower heist.

For me I'm just useless at reviewing stuff. I can't even explain the stuff I like, I'm usually better when I hate something. I think we just need pretty pictures.

Rasputin-the Mad Monk, shot back to back with Dracula-Prince of Darkness and utilising many of the same sets and actors, this gem from Hammer tells the tale of Grigori Rasputin, a long haired, bearded, drunken, crazy Russian who claimed to have healing hands!
Fine performances from Sir Christopher Lee, Francis Matthews and the delightful Barbara Shelley with direction from Don Sharp bringing to life a script by Tony Hinds. The film contains an amusing scene of Lee dancing whilst drunk, rather like I will be later on tonight ahem...and although not entirely historically accurate, it's still a fine film for fans of the studio.
The Blu Ray from Studio Canal is under scrutiny at the minute from people complaining about the "thinness" of the audio, particularly during the opening theme music, as I posted in the official thread for this, the audio does seem to have no real low end, but a quick adjustment to my surround sound set up, literally taking seconds, meant it sounded fine to me. As for the PQ, I really can't say a bad word about it, it looks fantastic!
Special features include an informative making of, commentary track, a cool feature on Hammer book adaptions, a stills gallery and the ever present Oliver Reed narrated World of Hammer episode, this time a rather boring look at the few Pirate/Swashbuckling/Robin Hood pictures that Hammer produced (and that I wasn't aware of until half an hour ago), for me that is the only bad thing I can say about this set, highly recommended.

Why not just add a comment automatically? Lists are boring. Unless it's a bunch of purchases or something..

Yeah, I agree. It's always good to see what people have to say about stuff and there's been many a film I've picked up on the basis on peoples comments in this very thread. Even just a line or two makes a big difference

Unless there are comments the posts are pretty pointless.

Rasputin the Mad Monk is one of the few Hammer films (along with Straight on 'Till Morning) that really disappointed me.

So my recent post is pointless.
