On Blu-ray?

Taste is obviously available on a WB UK disc but which version of Risen are you getting?

Not on Blu-ray through the Google T.V.

Oh right. That doesn't count.

Taste is only £7.99 on Amazon and is in the two for £13 offer if you wanted the Blu. It looks great.

I'm sure that makes sense to you.

Bloody auto correct.

Cuba. A British soldier turned mercenary arrives in Cuba at the time of the Communist revolution to help the ailing government, and rekindles an old flame. This late 70s drama has a fabulous cast - Sean Connery, Brooke Adams, the great Denholm Elliot, Roger Lloyd-Pack, and Chris Sarandon to name a few - and is consistently entertaining and watchable, never getting boring, yet never really catches fire either. It was alright.

The Serpent And The Rainbow. 1988.

Anthropologist Dr. Dennis Alan travels to Haiti to discover a rumour that a new drug is being used in black magic that can bring back the dead.

Wes Craven brings us a new type of a zombie film that doesn't have the rotting flesh and brain craving ones we know and love, this was intriguing on how it would go with story of using Voodoo as a source and hallucinogenics and the effects of it as we see Bill Pullman under the influence of it.

Set in Haiti where a lot of people believe Voodoo is still practiced although not to the extent of sacrificing animals, there was problems during production, with Craven he was able to bring a chill factor imagination, it may not be on the edge of your seat, but does have a great background score that blends in well with the atmosphere of the story, another film I wasn't daft on after seeing it the first time but certainly more enjoyable now.

Savage Harbour (1987)

Frank Stallone and Chris Mitchum take on some naughty types in this third tier actioner. The stilted dialogue and shoddy set pieces aside, it's the absolute lack of charisma shown by the lead that makes this a total blast in that hideously perverse way that I have
I can't wait to watch it again.

Settled down to a good old British crime film last night. Robbery with Stanley Baker from director Peter Yates. Baker puts together a team of pros to attempt pulling off a train robbery.
Around the 30 minute mark I decided it would likely be a one watch before a destiny on the shelves of CEX. 45 minutes in it went off. Just so dull, I simply didn't care about anyone or whether they pulled off the job or not. For a film with a decent rep and plenty of talent involved it was rubbish.
