Oh, HELL YEAH!

Il Grande Duello was good - one of the better if stranger Spaghetti Westerns, mixing surprising daftness with an actual solid plot and decent twist. Plus, Lee Van Cleef starring. So, all good.

Well, except for the print. Movies 4 Men have a good set of Spaghettis, but their prints are diabolically awful (Blindman, in particular, is unwatchable picture quality) - in fact the trailer there is better quality than the movie I just watched...

Trailer Tuesday- Since Bond is always good background while doing stuff, today I have this on...

Ooh, the US theatrical trailer for the Korda version... Aside from having the stunning June Duprez, and Conrad Veidt (he's a fucking antihero here, right, not a villain... But that's for another post) this is one of the seminal genre movies, as it essentially invented blue-screen as a genre tool. If you haven't seen it, you should- it's flawed but important.

Trailer Tuesday- One of Conrad Veidt’s best - apart from the crappy ending, which is totally wrong - with Joan Crawford as well.

Guess what I'll be going to see tomorrow night...

Trailer Tuesday- Just watched this on DVD, and loved it. Not quite as good a single nostalgia piece as the first one, but good fun, with proper action movie hilarious geekgasm when Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Willis all joined in for the big airport battle. (Actually Arnie and Bruce made a good double act there)

Trailer Tuesday- amazingly our local fleapit is getting this in a couple of weeks, even though they usually just get films for the blue-rinse crowd. Presumably being filled with the likes of Helen Mirren is what qualifies this one.

Anyway, the first one was great, and I’m looking forward to this.
