I don't care for any of the Stephen Sommers Mummy films – the overuse of CGI and dumb humour ruins them for me.

I would imagine Boris wasn't impressed at being under the makeup and said "lose it" or you can hire Chaney instead.

Don't watch Van Helsing then, that hurts my eyes.

- Has Anybody Seen My Gal? **** out of ****
Lovely film with a brilliant cast and a message ("money isn't everything, but it has the power to change people" ) - watch out for James Dean in a tiny role! Charles Coburn is outstanding.
- Les yeux sans visage (Eyes Without A Face) ***** out of **** (sic!)
One of the best Horror movies (Dramas?) ever shot... Cinematography, cast, screenplay - this movie is -yes!- perfect! Maurice Jarre's outstanding score always brings me close to tears. This film is art - simply art!
- The Invisible Man **** out of ****
Claude Rains - only able to use his distinct voice! - dominates this film - in a totally positive way! This film is powerful, and highly effective. Few but moody settings and great dialogues (H.G Wells' book is a brilliant read!) make this flick one of the best Universal Horror movies. Una O'Connor is so funny!

Watched the two 'Mesrine' films this morning:

1) Killer Instinct
2) Public Enemy #1

I enjoyed them to a point. I think I would have got more out of them if I was more aware of the man, and the politics of the time depicted

However, I found it a bit off-putting because (to me, at least), by the end of the movie, he looked like 70's era Bruce Springsteen!

Well, Jack Pierce did forget to give Karloff a fly so I would imagine it being a nightmare when he needed to piss!

Oh how i LOVE this film. From the neon lit wonder wheel to the dawn showdown on the Coney Island beach the film just pulls you into the world. Its such a delight to watch the Blu Ray the film looks amazing. Just watching the extra nice to see the actors after all these years talking about the film and how they got involved.

Just out of interest, do you reconise the intro to this song?

The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Set eight years after 'The Dark Knight', the final part of the trilogy see's a reclusive Bruce Wayne take up the cape and cowl once more to save Gotham from a speechifying Bane! As the title says 'The Dark Knight Rises' and over the three movies he has. 'Batman Begins' saw the action take place in a dark and gloomy Gotham with touches of Burtons vision, (the railroad). The Sequel saw a more modern city set in the light of day. 'Rises' is set entirely in the day its more the nature of the characters that is dark. The movie is long but along the way are some nice nods to the previous two and, (to me at least), a surprising revelation which to be honest I should have realised having previously seen the Batman animated series.
