Carpenter plays with nearly all the rules of a Vampire movie, and succeeds. Highly recommended!

Besides: the French Blu-ray (M6 Video) is excellent; both picture and sound are of highest quality!

Greetings!
Never seen this, added to the ever growing 'to watch list'

Julia's Eyes. if it had been filmed from her POV it would have been a better film. Either it was the mood i was in or it just doesnt hang together, il give it another go, but not for a while....6/10.

I watched Two-Lane Blacktop yesterday - a superb road trip movie with excellent AV quality and a whole array of extra features on this Criterion Collection DVD which I haven't yet seen, plus the screenplay which I'll read at some point.

How absolutely amazing is Warren Oates in that film? One of the best 'road' movies I've ever seen, and that car

Warren Oates is rarely anything less than brilliant and both the cars are great for different reasons, with the Pontiac GTO as a thing of beauty.

Went to see The Wicker Tree at the Grimmfest in Manchester last night with a post-screening q+a from Robin Hardy. I went in with low expectations but I really enjoyed it. Admittedly it can't touch the original but it's a lot of fun and some of the humour works quite well in my opinion. I can appreciate why some people won't be keen and the ending is particularly lightweight compared to the bleak and shocking original but for what it is, it's alright and I'll be investing in the blu ray when it comes out .

Robin Hardy was an interesting interviewee too and signed my Wicker Man dvd (which was already signed by Ingrid Pitt )
