Fox was probably confused. He meant to say that he'd gone to Paris in an attempt to assassinate De Gaulle but ended up getting shot by that bearded French chap from Moonraker.

Could be! And poor Lord Olivier.I know he was supposed to look confused throughout the film,but I think it was more a look of embarrassment.

He probably was and, after Inchon and that abysmal Neil Diamond monstrosity, he had very good reason to be.

Watched Saw VI again - first time on DVD - very good sequel! Tonnes of great traps and a fairly good twist too.

Just finished watching Inside. Mmmmmmmm, what can I say, It's rather disturbing to say the least. Some pretty cool death scenes and unpredictable throughout which makes a change. Problem is, my g/f thinks I must be some kind of sociapath for watching it and now won't talk to me..... honestly! Guess who's on the sofa tonight?

Inside is a terrific little film. I'm guessing your gf isn't a fan of French horror cinema then? She's not pregnant though is she - that could explain it otherwise!

Speaking of Inside, I think im one of the few people who thought it was way over-hyped and didn't pull through really. It felt lacking and that great tbh.
I may need a 2nd viewing as I not seen it since it was released in the US.

"Shutter Island"

Liked it.
But it was perhaps just too long especially when the film is ultimately only existing to get to the twist(s).

Nice turns, looked great, stupidly unsubtle music though and some good atmosphere.

You can see what's coming though (though where you pick it up I know varies) and only the VERY end was a real surprise.
And this little bit (listen to the final sentence said in the film) saved the film from just being ho hum. As it was a nice little idea and added a real poignancy to the final moments.

I agree. The push this one got on horror websites was overbearing. When I watched I found myself laughing at all the projectile blood spray and how 'try-hard' it was. It wasn't intense or shocking. I liked it, but it's an example of internet promotion gone silly. I had a similar experience with 'Martyrs' - which again is by no means a bad film - but it was pompous and ultimately lacking in depth considering how profound it was meant to be.

Of the recent french shockers, I liked 'Frontiers' the best. That new it was an exploitation picture and went to town providing some nice cheap frills.
