They Call me Mr. Tibbs was extremely disappointing after the masterpiece that is In the Heat of the Night.

They shouldn't have bothered.

some more stuff that's been seen, toolbox murders was awful and had to turn it off after 20 minutes, the fog was a pleasant surprise other times i watched this i could not get into it, granted i was either very young or it was on tv after a late night out on the town, might watch the documentary which is on the disc fear on film inside the fog, it was a very atmospheric and creepy film how did i not enjoy it

Talking of that film, watched Django Unchained last night - thought that was an annoying and unnecessary detail that his wife was called Broomhilda von Shaft . . .

From what I gather, they're supposed to be Shaft's great grandparents or something? WRITTEN is an oddball!

Decieded i'm going to watch Hitchock at the cinema on friday. Hear middling things about it but excited none the less.

Written? I put QT! Stupid phone.

I was supposed to be seeing Hitchcock tonight, but I'm sick in bed. Booooo.

Yeah I heard that. How lame

Was quite disappointed by the film on the whole. The soundtrack in particualar I found surprisingly poor, and the pacing was terrible! Sam Jackson by far the best of a rather unmemorable cast (by Tarantino standards). Fox was ok, but the Broomhilda character was woefully underdeveloped, and made a damp squib of the whole quest. A major step down from the rip-roaring Inglourious Basterds . . .

The Naked Kiss - imagine taking a pint of neat vinegar and adding 10 tablespoons of sugar - the queasy feeling it would induce probably feels like watching this movie. You lurch from overloaded sentiment to sexual perversions often in mid scene. There's a bonkers but weirdly haunting children's chorus musical number around the 55 min mark that had me, yet again, thinking never say you've seen everything. What else in this tale of a good girl gone bad and trying to be good again? A heinous brothel Madame luring innocent nurses, Lots of Beethoven, a tailors dummy covered in medals called Charlie - honestly, loads of crazy shit presented crazily. Another gem from Sam Fuller, one I bet John Waters adores

I liked the soundtrack apart from the hip-hop tracks, which really pulled me out of the film. I'm not sure if he was aiming at doing a Posse kind of thing, but to me it was really jarring.
