VHS : Buffy The Vampire Slayer - The Movie [1992]
This is not a great film by any measure, on the other hand it is not the worst I have ever seen. It's not a patch on the TV series, but will be interesting for hardcore buffy fans. There are numerous inconsistencies between the film and the start of the TV series (I think the biggest is that buffy doesn't get any older in the 4 or so years between the film and the TV series!). That's not really the point though, this was where it all began! There are definately a few "Joss" moments in the script, but it's not really laugh out loud funny like the TV series. It deserves a watch if you are a Buffy fan or have a couple of free hours where you don't really want to use your brain. You can get it from a marketplace seller for a couple of quid, and ...

VHS : Till Death Us Do Part [1969]
I saw this film in England several years ago (I hadn't even heard about the tv serial) and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I've been hoping to find it on dvd ever since. Last night I ended up discussing the film with an English mate of mine in a Brussels bar, and he told me the film is now banned in Britain, because it's not p.c. I sincerely hope this is not the case. The film never shocked me and it did NOT turn me into a racist.

105.Road House [1989] starring: Patrick Swayze, Kelly Lynch, Sam Elliott, Ben Gazzara, Marshall R. Teague

VHS : Road House [1989]
Nothing special to add to all the other ambivalent encomia already shovelled onto this mess of a film. Lots of good ingredients that add up to nothing but unintended laughs.

Fast cars, explosions, naked chicks for the guys, naked Swayze for the girls (and for Swayze himself), and of course, superb fight sequences. The story and the total absence of police are simply ludicrous.

Funny thing is, when Dalton's bouncer-mentor turns up to help, about halfway through the movie, he's so much cooler than Dalton you want to skip the plot and just tag along with him. An opportunity wasted.

Definitely one to put with other films you reckon are good because they're bad.

VHS : American Samurai [1992]
I first watched this film years and years ago when it was on Sky and I loved it. The fight scenes were gruesome and all in all it was very entertaining. Then low and behold, I managed to track down this DVD which, I must say is a travesty. They've dubbed the word "dick". A word that's been used in mainstream television and would barely give a film or television programme more than a "PG" rating. This film when originally released was certificate "18" because of the violent nature of the fight scenes. Unfortunately dubbing aside, which was very amusuing, the fight scenes are butchered to such an extent that you barely know what one combatent has done to the other. If you watched it years ago and would like to see it again, get it by all means but don't expect ... Read More:

VHS : Frantic [1987]
Discover Paris the way you would probably never see it. Garbage collecting trucks shown three times in the film. The French police that understands English and does not like nervous Americans, and they send their incognito agents behind the man they have more or less sent to hell. The US embassy obviously speaking with a forked tongue, being reassuring on one side and sending its secret agents behind the American citizen at once without telling him of course (S*** for S***head as Dr Walker says). Then a Statue of Liberty, the original mind you, seen and shown nearly too much. Underground parking lots that are crime avenues. Parisian zinc roofs. French taxis with black taxi drivers getting a flat on a highway. Then constant contradictions between tipping and not ... Read More:

VHS : The Three Musketeers [1973]
Richard Lester and Alexander Salkind rekindled that old Alexandre Dumas (père) favourite of One for All and All for One! with a stirling cast, all of whom played their parts well and wore their splendiferous costumes with both dignity and aplomb. The 17th Century appears to be remembered as a time of loquacious and flippant humour ... which some may find 'less than serious.' Still, it's a colourful and thoroughly enjoyable swashbuckling and cloak-swirling romp. In fact, I wanted - and still want - one of those ostrich-feathered hats!

Although there was only one book (Les Trois Mouquetaires), Richard Lester shot THE THREE MUSKETTERS and THE FOUR MUSKETEERS primarily in Spain, and back-to-back as one film, but released them as two ... and payed the cast for one only. ... Read More:
