Meet him and die

Ray Lovelock plays Massimo, an undercover cop who gets sent to jail in order to infiltrate a drugs gang. Inside he gets on friendly terms with boss Giulianelli played by Martin Balsam. In order to get further into the operation Massimo arranges a breakout taking Giulianelli and earns his trust further when he appears to save his life. However, though Massimo is a cop he may have a more personal justice in mind.
Directed by Franco Prosperi who also worked with Lovelock on the nasty as hell last house on the beach, Meet him and die is an entertaining poliziotteschi with plenty of twists. It also has Elke Sommer as the love interest which doesn't hurt either. Lovelock makes a great leading man in these cop thrillers and Balsam is obviously good as one would expect.

Killer cop

The film takes its main starting point as the Piazza Fontana bombing which happened in Milan in 1969. Inspector Luigi Balsamo is a witness to one of the suspects and the chief, Armando Di Federico played by veteran actor Arthur Kennedy orders him to be put into protection. Unfortunately this does no good and Balsamo is killed off. Federico believes the terrorists have some assistance from within the force and suspects Commissioner Matteo Rolandi played by Claudio Cassinelli, however it becomes apparent that the orders seem to be coming from the Attorney general himself.
Killer cop is a straight up, deadly serious poliziotteschi with a real political edge to it. It's got shootouts and is entertaining but its worth noting your not getting the usual car crashes and massacres that seem to punctuate a lot of the more commercially made cop thrillers of the time.

Shape of water

Reviewed it not long back but my Local cinema decided to screen it. I always try and support this sort of film theatrically so went to see it.
It definitely benefits from a huge screen, the set design, creature design and the overall production values are great and look wonderful on the big screen. God bless Vue and its £4.99 tickets.

Exactly that's why me and Sam go more often now because the price is affordable , and the more people get to know eventually more people will go more often instead of downloading or streaming crappy copies of the films .

Since out vue have dropped tickets to £4.99 We havent managed to get into anything. It's ten times busier there. We went to watch The Commuter with Liam Neeson. Sold out three weeks after release.

Comparing that to the Odeon in Liverpool where a Friday night ticket can cost you £14 and all the screens are booked up, it's insane. There is a cinema in the town where I work and I can see films for £6 which is great, but I rarely go because I just want to go home after a day at work

For me, even with a huge TV and expensive sound system it's impossible to replicate the theatrical experience. I'm hoping our vue does another 4k season like last year. Seeing HEAT, ROBOCOP, BREAKFAST CLUB, GRADUATE and TAXI DRIVER theatrically was wonderful.

The Seventh Veil (1945, Compton Bennett)

Yes, the one where James Mason beats a young girl . Full of repressed passion and thwarted desire, this quintessentially British film is where it's at for me.

Have you got the Odeon dvd, Demoncrat?

It's got a great doc about Mason and Huddersfield.
