Just watched Captain America - Winter Soldier. Not too impressed to be honest. Then again, i've always thought CA was rather ridiculous and his outfit in the films just looks a bit 'Captain Dress-up' to me. Simplistic moralising is also something i can do without in a supers blockbuster. I think i might be in a bad mood. That comes off a bit too harsh. It's not that bad, just not that good either. |

Watched The Godfather on Blu-ray for the first time last night, breathtaking transfer. I still consider it to be one of THE great American films, in fact it's very nearly flawless. I only just realised Sofia Coppola is also in Part One. Part Two tomorrow. |

Decemberdike # 25 Symptoms (1974) Surely this is Vampyres director José Ramón Larraz's masterpiece. A beautifully made and told Gothic tale of madness, jealousy and murder with hints of the supernatural thrown in. Atmospheric and slow burning, the film takes it's time to unfold, carried along by the brilliant performances of Angela Pleasence and Lorna Heilbron, as a sense of dread builds to almost suffocating levels before erupting in a malevolent mass of violence. Simply superb! |
