Just watched Touch of Evil.

Classic crime noir starring Charlton Heston, Orson Welles and Janet Leigh.

A gripping film about murder and deceit on the US/Mexico border.

Touch of Evil is a great film, nearly up there with Citizen Kane in terms of Welles' direction and acting. I've no idea how he didn't win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar and the opening tracking shot which runs at something like seven minutes without a cut is just sublime.

It's yet another of those films that I should watch more often than I do.

I never noticed the opening tracking shot.

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

It apparently influenced John Carpenter when he was making Halloween which is why the opening shot in that film doesn't have an obvious cut for quite some time. If you're not too tired, put the disc back in and just watch the first 10 minutes as the crane/tracking shot which takes you across the border is a thing of cinematic beauty.

I can recall it quite well, i just never realised it was all one shot.
Probably cos the dog kept pawing me for a biscuit causing a distraction.

Thats my excuse.

I thought it was a great film!

Watched Inferno Of Torture last night. Japanese pinky film by Teruo Ishii, visually very nice but pretty weak in the plot dept.

Centurion.. Good film with some nice gorey scenes. Poor and uneeded CGI did annoy me thoughcensored:

Under Seige 2

Get Huim To The Greek.. Funny film which I did enjoy. Does anyone else think Russel Brand is a good singer? I laughed at the songs, but couldn't help but like them at the same time
