It's still a bloody good Fred Williamson vehicle, even if he does look like he's stepped out of Police Academy's Blue Oyster Bar for most of the film.

Bringing out the Dead

Probably haven't watched this in 10yrs+. Don't know why Schrader and Scorsese make amazing movies together, parallels with Taxi Driver are unavoidable. One of Cage's best performances too, he's at this best riding mania

Me too. Shamefully, I don't own it on any format so I need to add it to my collection first.

"Peter Jackson waiting twenty five to make the follow up to The Two Towers then coming up with Hawk The Slayer."

I've never watched Hawk the Slayer, but I adore Mother of Tears. The perfect movie if you want to prove that Argento is still able to produce vintage supernatural Horror films (with a modern touch). I also loved his cheesy Dracula. Brilliant entertainment, and no, I'm not joking.

Having said that, its like going into a jewellers and deciding which diamond you prefer.

I agree, apart from Prince of Darkness. Boring film imho.

I agree, very boring.
