Was flipping around cable last night and came across "Deadfall" on the fear.net channel. It had a great cast..James Coburn, Michael Beihn,Nicholas Cage,Charlie Sheen....but the movie sucked balls....mostly because of Nicholas Cage's OVERACTING.

Jumper. Not that good.

With all the giallo talk in HDC recently, I dug out my Mario Bava Collection Vol 1 and treated myself to this beauty. Even after what...30-35 years of its release, its still an excellent visual treat.

Its a pretty impressive early Bava giallo, with all the traditional murder mystery angle. Hardcore fans might be a tad disappointed with the toned down gorific brutality and sexuality, but you have to admire Bava's brilliance in deftly handling the finer aspects of gialli film-making - the background score, the darkly tinted visuals, the perfect creepy settings...and the atmosphere. You will forget for a sec that its totally b/w, and just sit back and admire the genius of Bava, as he goes about this almost Hitchcock-ian tribute with the perfect ease of a master at work.

Heck...I have to agree with Elvis and admit that, between Argento and Bava, Bava definitely holds a slight edge.

seen Fido yet ?

Mimic- 6.5/10

Always a fun watch, although it loses the fear level early on, which irritates me because it could've been so scary.

Swingers

one of those flicks i revisit at least once a year .. timeless movie.

Black Sheep ---- loved it funny and great special fx but seemed a bit slow passed at times. Check it out if you get the chance.
