Well I watched the sequel to Les Visiteurs tonight. It looks like the filmmakers also spotted the plot hole I wrote about yesterday and used it as the basis for a second film: Les Couloirs du Temps: Les Visiteurs II. Snappy title eh? I’ll put a break here in case anybody doesn’t want spoilers.

Alerte générale!
July 30th, 2012 · No Comments · Life
The fourth Taxi film (T4XI) came out 5 years ago but I have only just seen it. I thought the first film was brilliant and only recently re-watched all of the first three films but I had been put off seeing the fourth one. A large part of the hesitatance was that Taxi 2 was [...]
The name’s Bond. James Bond
January 18th, 2012 · No Comments · Life
I have been on a bit of a DVD binge recently, and over the last week or so have watched all the Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig Bond films. I wasn’t in the mood for anything too challenging and just wanted to be entertained. It has been a while since I watched some [...]

Yes live at Montreux
January 16th, 2012 · No Comments · Music
This afternoon I watched the Yes Live at Montreux DVD, to remind myself why I like them after watching the 9012Live DVD the other day. After watching the 1985 concert I was left wondering why I had been listening to the band for nearly 35 years and still lappingup new releases. Afterf watching the 2003 [...]

This evening I decided, on a whim, to watch the DVD of 9012Live, the film of a yes concert in 1985, directed by Steven Soderbergh. I have had the DVD for quite a while but can’t remember watching it before, though I’m sure I must have done. It is possible I only watched a bit [...]
Tokyo Gore Police

Sometimes a film comes along where just the title makes you think that at least it won’t be boring. Many of these are Japanese and one of them is Tokyo Gore Police. How’s this for a summary? From the people who gave you The Machine Girl comes the even crazier Tokyo Gore Police! The makeup [...]

Cowboys and Zombies
November 13th, 2011 · No Comments · Life
Zombie films seem to be like zombies themselves. No matter how many you deal with there are always more poping up all over the place. Today I watched Cowboys and Zombies, which has been knocking around the house for a few weeks but which I kept putting off watching because it didn’t look like it [...]
Dirty Harry completion
November 9th, 2011 · No Comments · Life
I watched the last two Dirty Harry films this evening, while Jayne was up at the hospital visiting Frankie. A few good set pieces. I had forgotten all about the Bullitt homage car chase with the radio-controlled car in The Dead Pool, Harry with his BFG in Sudden Impact and the boardwalk shootout. Really it [...]
City Island
May 11th, 2011 · No Comments · Life
I recently watched the film City Island on DVD, another goodie from Amazon’s Vine programme.  One of the real pleasures of the scheme is that it leads me to films, books or music I might otherwise have never heard of but which end up giving me much more pleasure than ones I have been eagerly [...]
Operation:Endgame
March 20th, 2011 · No Comments · Life
This evening we sat down to watch a DVD that Amazon kindly sent us – Operation:Endgame.  Having heard nothing about it, I wasn’t expecting much, but it turned out to be hugely enjoyable with some great performances, notably from Rob Cordory Here is what I wrote about it:
