1.Howard The Duck [1986] starring: Lea Thompso, Jeffrey Jone, Tim Robbin, Ed Gal, Chip Zie directed by: Willard Huyck February 18, 2008

This is one of those films that is so weird you either hate it or love it. When I first watched this I thought it was a truly awful film. However, after a few beers this film is actually quite entertaining...If you want a film that is daft, simple to follow and has a true 80s feel, either buy a cheap copy (or better still rent) this film, kick back and spend an evening sniggering on the sofa. It is a bad film in a typically 80s-outrageous-hair-and-daft-outfits way. Yes, it's so terrible it is worth watching - as long as you don't expect anything more than slightly cheesey entertainment. To it's credit, it has got a pretty cool front cover!

I have to say that Il Trovatore is one of my favourite Verdi Opera's, with a great mix of drama and suspense, twinned with the most unlikely of story lines! There are ample opportunities for the musicians and artists to shine, and some did in this production! In particular, Dolora Zajick, much the best actor on the stage, gave a passionate and inspired performance as Azucena. She has a wonderfully resilient voice, and carried the role off superbly. I also enjoyed Sherrill Milnes' performance as the "evil" Count Luna. Milnes wouldn't be out of place as the baddy in one of those silent films twiddling his moustach! I found his powerful Baritone extremely convincing. Pavarotti's voice is as agreeable as ever, but as usual his acting ... Read More:

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £18.67
Tired of being in low-budget horror films, Rebecca Raven, (Erin Brown) decides to take a break at a summer home, forcing studio bosses Frank, (Michael R.

5.The Best Of Film Noir [2000] starring: James Bacon, Jeffrey Wells (II), John Houseman, Rod Steiger, Charlton Heston October 27, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.82
I decided to ignore the advice of the one other review, as I thouht I would risk getting what it claimed to be. Perhaps the other guy who got some other disc had the best deal after all. All you get for your money is a moderatly interesting mini documentary that consists mainly of trailers. If you are very new to Film Noir this will actually work very well as a pointer to some classics slightly lesser known than the top half dozen everyone knows. However, you can get this as a tag on to one of those film Noir collections elswhwere on Amazon. For some bizare reason you get two "condensed" versions of two lesser (but superb) Noirs - DOA and Detour. Why on earth anyone would want these, as they are easily available on lots of cheap copmilations, I have ... Read More:
