Mother of Tears-Dario Argento's conclusion to the Three Mothers trilogy. This time round, the plot revolves around art student Sarah(played by Dario's daughter Asia) who has to stop the rather lovely looking Mother of Tears from causing Rome to go to Hell! That's pretty much it as far as plot goes.
What can I say, I liked it surprisingly considering the bad rep it's had for the last 5 years, particularly on here. Yeah, it's not Argento's best film, but it's certainly a masterpiece compared to The Card Player! My only real issue was some of the FX were awful and cheap looking, especially the scenes featuring the ghostly Daria Nicolodi, which were seriously bad. Oh, and Sarah's ability to make herself invisible had me chuckling too. It does have some nice gory set pieces and a couple of instances that made me jump(a rarity these days) and I know I'll definitely watch it again.

So... I watched Puppet Master last night, I think I may have missed the point but it was shockingly bad the fact that it took me 3 attempts to actually get to the end should have prevented me from even bothering but people seem to like it so I gave it a go.

Never again.

It does have a plus side though, I thought Irene Miracle was good in it, so it gets 1.5/5 for that at least. Not going to bother with the 4 sequels !!

At least the BD was only £7.20 on pre-order.

I watched John Wayne's The Searchers the other day. Thought it was meant to be considered a classic among classics. Dull meandering tedious pointless drivel. Give me Rio Bravo anyday.

Ugh I had to watch The Searchers at college for Media Studies, I hated it so much... Much prefer Leone

I'm glad someone else didn't like it. I didn't hate it but I just don't see why its revered as a classic of the genre. I always feel like I should try again with films like that as though I must have missed something. It started out quite well but after about half hour it just seemed to lose it's way completely and just meandered on.

I prefer Leone too...

...but I still recognise that The Searchers is a stone masterpiece and one of the best films ever made!!!
