yeah...I know the title alone deserves a A- or solid A, but other than plenty of boobies and few lesbo activities it was a pretty average effort I think. I was expecting an epic actually!:D

 For ages I have had a hazy memory of a diver swimming along the wreck of a passenger liner that had sunk long ago and seeing a face at a porthole,this led to the discovery of people living on the sunken ship.I never investigated the possibility that this was an actual film,I just thought I was confusing memories of the Poseidon films or I had imagined it,after all,people living on a sunken ship? Ridiculous ! Turns out I didn't imagine it,after a simple google search I found that it was a made for TV movie from 1981 that featured the likes of Mark Harmon,John Ratzenberger and Christopher Lee no less ! Synopsis from IMDB - During World War II the passenger liner "Goliath" is sunk by a German submarine. Portions of the ship's hull remain airtight, and some of the passengers and crew survive. Over the decades they build a rigidly regulated society completely isolated from the surface world, until in contemporary times a diving team begins to explore the wreck. So I managed to gain a copy of the film and give it a watch,and while the film itself is quite ridiculous,I couldn't help enjoy it for its cheesy nostalgia alone,I just can't give it less than 7/10 !

Society (1989)
 A brilliant bizarre social satire! >>: A- Death Race 2 (2010)  As a straight-to-dvd prequel, it's fantastic! Along with the action sequences the way they simply developed the story I think they did quite better than the 2008 Jason Statham remake. May be that hot South African chick (Tanit Pheonix) had an influence:o but overall I really liked it very much. >>: A-

Le Samourai (1967). From the opening scene to the inescapable ending, Le Samourai is a flick that should have brought tears of boredom to the most patient of patrons. Instead, Melville creates poetry out of the mundane. The simple act of dressing becomes an exercise of heroic proportions. An extended chase scene on foot, where nothing exciting happens, becomes taut with tension, riveting the viewer in the inexplicable way of Melville's neuvo samurai. This is a movie that is far removed reality, dreamlike in expression, and expertly crafted by one of the best of France's quintessential directors. The existential absurdity of the central character is foisted upon our anti-hero, and this is where the Japanese warrior must make his choice, to live his code, or throw away the meaning behind his profoundly absurd ways. Alain Delon, France's pretty boy of cinema, brings to this character a calculating coolness that is inimitable. And as unbelievable as his character may be, its portrayal is sheer entertainment. At one level we may be thinking "Yeah right" but we are fully committed to enjoying the ride. This is where Melville's brilliance shines mightily. How this story is tied together, with wickedly unobtrusive camera work and editing, allows this excessively simple story to be transformed into an existential thread of art, with the most fascinating aspects of is magnificence perfectly hidden from the audience. The beginning and the end serve to reveal the emptiness of life constrained by the honor of habit, and the irony that choice both brings and takes life away. In the end, though we are rooting for our criminal protagonist, we know that fate could allot for any other end but that for which the samurai is most famous.
