Saw Eurekas Touch of Evil Blu ray this afternoon - first of many viewings, what with all the cuts/commentaries. Incredible film, looks amazing, Janet Leigh is hot, Orson Welles disgusting, Charlton Heston heroic - a noir masterpiece and a must buy. Roll on Repo Man and Two Lane Blacktop!

I really liked The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec and Phurious, you're the first person I've come across who didn't like it! I found it to be a brilliant fantasy film plenty of good laughs, well orchestrated action set pieces and extremely good performances.. I hope there's a sequel as I'd love to see how the characters develop in another adventure and what happens to her sister.

| Venus In Furs last night. Loved it! Probably my favorite Franco thus far.  |

 I think it displayed way more potential than it actually delivered, which can often be the case with the beginning of a series, so perhaps a sequel will be more promising on the story front. But for me personally I thought the set pieces were quite shoddy, in fact I'd go as far to say that The Mummy did a better job of portraying a fantastical ancient Egypt and it's phantasmagorical creatures in an early 20th century setting. By no means an awful film for me, just a disappointment when I'm aware of what Besson has been capable of directing previously (a touch of the Argento here methinks, although Besson's writing and producing credits have lent themselves well to some cracking action flicks of recent years).

Like you rightly pointed out I think it's purely subjective and the BBFC are probably covering their arses (no pun intended) - I mean that whole bath scene was alluded to earlier in the film and one could argue that it's an integral part of the story, the fact that the viewer gets a flash of a Blanc-Sec in the nuddy is neither here no there really - well that's what I reckon anyway.

I cant wait to see Dragon Tattoo reboot. it looks very good and Fincher is a very good director! Tonight I saw A Lonely Place To Die, this this was a very good flick and surprised it did not get a wider release! I missed it at FrightFest although its more of a thriller really. Very good acting and well made flick. |
