Watched Earth Versus The Flying Saucers last night on Blu. This one is an old favorite of mine, so i decided to give the Colourised version a go as Harry says in his interview that he always envisaged his films in colour but because of budget constraints it proved impossible to do.. While it is a very good effort and in places extremely good, for the most part though the colour is all over the place with most of the characters taking on a very Jaundiced skin tones It is was never the best looking disc and i am not sure if it's the source or some sort of jiggery pokery going on during the transfer, but at times detail disappears into a white mush usually seen on the faces (foreheads) of the actors. The audio i thought was really very good for a film of this age.
However i will still recomend it as i love old Sci Fi movies and especialy the work of Ray Harryhausen, although this is suposed to be his least favorite work.

Love the film but I had to go back to the black and white version, the colours where awful people look like they suffered from jaundice

Glad we think alike.

Dusted off my old Parc DVD of Rise and Fall of Idi Amin

I love this movie, it's got a real Mondo vibe to it...unsurprising considering how soon after his exile it was made. Definitely a guilty pleasure as it's pretty indefensible.

And don't get me started on that film with McAvoy in it...

Don't Look Now- Should take no introduction. Suffice to say, IMHO, it's the best British film of all time only riveld by The Wicker Man. Let's hope Criterion get a hold of it as i'd happily double dip on BD despite the Studio Canal BD being more than adequite.

Thriller: A Cruel Picture

...again...really hoped I'd like this but it's just too slow for me, painfully so in parts especially the overused slow mo death scences
