Boo!

I like Punch Drunk Love of course, but never understood the critical acclaim for Sandler's performance as, to me, it's a variation of what he usually plays only that it's transposed to a less comedic, more quirky milieu.

No need. It's on the same dvd. Might watch it later on . . .

The only Sandler film that has ever made me laugh (like, truely laugh) is Happy Gilmore. The guy just isn't that great a comedian in my opinion.

Douch Bigalo. Sorry, Rob Schneider. Doesn't really do much for me either.

Which American Pie film has Adam Sandler in it?

I remember enjoying the American Pie films and certainly would not have done if Adam Bloody Sandler had been in them!

I Am Sartana, Your Angel Of Death/Sartana The Gravedigger

This is the second official Sartana film and the first directed by my man, Giuliano Carnimeo. Excellent SW from 1970, well up to the quality of the first Sartana flick, in fact, possibly better made technically. There is some wonderful camerawork (jerking and tilting the camera as characters are hit by bullets is very effective and impressive, for example). This film crams SO MUCH into its running time, and manages almost non-stop action AND a sense of atmosphere. Excellent stuff.

The version in the Sartana boxset is a pretty good amateur restoration. There is a non-anamorphic version in the correct ratio from a decent, German source and the dialogue scenes are cross-faded in from a VHS source. So the soundtrack is a mixed bag.

As ever, Gianni Garko is charismatic and excellent as Sartana, and Klaus Kinski's character is a riot and deserving of his own film.

AMOK TRAIN (aka BEYOND THE DOOR 3)

A gruesome, late 80's Italian horror inspired by RUNAWAY TRAIN. Most Italian horror's from the late 80's are really bad and suffer from poor cinematography, terrible acting and amateurish gore. But, thankfully, AMOK TRAIN is an exception; it was filmed in 'scope and the cinematography is superb, using the Serbian locations to good effect. The cast are actually pretty good (Bo Svenson taking top honours. Keep a look out for Alex Vitale from STRIKE COMMANDO) and the gore effects are impressive (the scene in which one of the characters tear their own face apart is the highlight).

Get the Shriek Show edition - it's in it's proper ratio and has some decent extras. You can get it from Amazon for around a fiver.
