The Boss(1973) A hitman(henry Silva) blows up a bunch of gangsters whilst theyre watching a porno at the cinema. and ends up mixed up in a rival war between the mob. Another of those gritty style euro crime type films from fernando Di Leo. With Silva giving one of his usual ruthless performances. although, he does manage to show his soft side a bit when he falls for the slutty daughter of a gangster after he rescues her from some kidnappers. even if he does treat her like crap at first. pretty entertaining, with lots of twists and turns, and some brutal violence between a lot of the talky parts. recommended 71 out of 100.

Deadly Blessing (1981) Classic Wes Craven horror chiller and one of his most underrated films. Maren Jensen, Sharon Stone and Susan Buckner are three young women terrorized by what appear to be their deeply religious Hittite in-laws led by a stern Ernest Borgnine. However as the film rumbles on weirder things occur leading to a convoluted over plotted finale. The film isn't likely to win any best film awards but it's nicely photographed, has a memorable score by James Horner and one or two shock sequences that will stay with you long after the movie finishes. |

Prime Target Angie Dickinson stars as a cop with a mission. An odd thing this. The constant references to her being "hot stuff" for a start A fellow female plod is killed during a bombing ... so Police Woman leaps into action cough. Nothing is as it seemzzzzzzz. One of the stranger films I have seen this year. But I would rather watch they bints-in-the-desert tosh again.

852dea5a923a33ae767c82ad9a612667.jpg BRENDA STARR REPORTER (1945) Columbia 13 Chapter Serial Based on the 1940's comic strip. Brenda Starr reporter for The Daily Flash, receives a coded message from a mobster after she and her photographer cover a house fire. The message gives the location of a quarter of a million dollars.. Fun serial that was once thought lost. Chapters 3 and 4 are incomplete/damaged but it is easy to pick the story up. Most cliff hangers involve Brenda being gassed, falling off a roof or crushed etc. |

The Professionals (1966) The Professionals is one of those films you just know Quentin Tarantino would kill to have made. Clever dialogue overflows and the influence this film had on Quentin was probably huge. From the men on a mission that doesn't go to plan plot line to choice snippets of chat - 'Let's go to work' says Marvin as he, Burt Lancaster, Woody Strode and Robert Ryan, finalize their plan to break Claudia Cardinale out of a Mexican stronghold. "I bet you're a big Lee Marvin fan" says Michael Madsen to Harvey Keitel following a bust up in Reservoir Dogs. No wonder, because he's excellent in this. Laconic coolness personified, although perhaps not quite at Walker levels. Anyway that's almost besides the point. The Professionals is one of the great westerns. It's beautifully filmed with a haunting score from Maurice Jarre, Director Richard Brooks gets the best out of a fantastic ensemble cast, which also includes Jack Palance and Ralph Bellamy, and everything from the sweltering desert to the fantastic action scenes tie in to make this a genuinely great film for all film fans not just western genre specific. |
