Still patchy after all these years, as if Richardson was torn betwixt making a 'straight' thriller and a 'funny' movie?? It still has its moments, Sayle's overeager traffic cop being one. Coltrane a hoot as a rather brusque nutter being another.

If that is the version from 'The Comic Strip Presents...' box set, it's the American video-version, which is about eight minutes shorter than the original UK cinema release

I saw one of the trilogy years ago not sure which one, each to their own but likes of AU trilogy, Grotesque and Guinea pigs series old and new have no appeal to me and not my scene.

Tomb Raider, the remake. Forgotten most of it already. OK time-waster as I can't remember it lagging at all, but purely popcorn stuff. Oddly enough, Nick Frost made the biggest impression on me and he was only in it for 5 minutes at the beginning and end of the film.

White of the Eye (1987)

Aside from a fairly brutal scene where the killer bounces a woman on her head to knock her out then binds her and drowns her in the bath, Donald Cammell's thriller is instantly forgettable.

The narrative seemingly passes by in a blur of pointless lingering shots of scrub land hillsides, dusty deserts, rocks, side streets and power lines in what comes across as self indulgence for self indulgence stakes, unless Cammell tried to make his film as 'arty' as possible. In which case he failed. Oh and just a thought. Just because Cammell filmed a small fish flopping about instead of showing knife slashes to a victim does not make this some sort of clever giallo.

Caprice (1967)

Industrial espionage cosmetics style meets James Bong action in this outlandish caper starring Doris Day and Richard Harris.

The plot is convoluted and practically irrelevant and the film gets by on action escapades and sixties chic alone. The sight of Day skiing down a Swiss mountainside whilst being shot at by a sniper only to career over the edge of a cliff and get rescued mid air by Harris in a helicopter is pure Roger Moore 007 and not easily forgotten.
