A few weeks ago I watched Breaking Away, for probably the fourth time in the past 10 years. I don't know what it is about this movie, but it always leaves me with a smile on my face. I loved all of the actors and the setting. Starring a very young Dennis Quaid, Dennis Christopher, Daniel Stern and my fave, Jackie Earle Hayley.

i liked oliver reed in it. i think cronenberg's best is scanners and the fly.
it seems every movie i see oliver reed in, his character kicks the bucket. makes me wonder what actor in the history of movies has the most on screen deaths?

The Grand Duel (1972) The first half of this made me cringe a bit with the questionable acting by some and the dodgy camerawork. But I started to fall in love with it in the second half for the same reasons Posts: 4057 | From: uk | Registered: May 2007 | Site Updates: 0

An Italian production which combines the gritty crime genre with Chinese kung-fu starring Bruce Leung (who??), who demonstrates some spectacular kung-fu action !
Hilariously dubbed audio, and a bomb-dog that explodes onscreen in the first couple of minutes !
For some reason, during the final battle the location changes from sun-drenched Rome to snowy mountain scenery literately within a second ! (i had to rewind for a moment to check whether i didn't miss some unexpected plot development.. but no, it just shifts to snowy mountains for absolutely no reason what so ever)
It all ends with some serious machine-gun mayhem, Rambo-style ! well, technically pre-Rambo-style.. after all, this is from 1974.
For those willing to ever watch this, i don't wanna give too much away.. but the obnoxious kid-brother dies, thank god !
The Godfather Squad really is a masterpiece of trash cinema.. and i love it !

Duel. One of Spielberg's first movies. Dennis Weaver stars as a sales rep terrorised by an unseen trucker trying to run him off the road. Very claustropobic. Solid 8/10.

The Godfather Squad was released on a double-feature dvd from Code Red last year. Its co-feature is Bruce's Last Battle, which i haven't seen yet, but if it's only half as much fun as The Godfater Squad was, it'll still be a blast !
The Godfather Squad alone makes it worth it though. You'll love it.. trust me !

The Flesh and Blood Show - The day I've dreaded has arrived when I didn't like a Pete Walker film. I'm heartbroken Posts: 4057 | From: uk | Registered: May 2007 | Site Updates: 0

Unfortunately I've seen worse. But yeah, it's hard to believe that's the same guy who made House of Whipcord, House of Mortal Sin and Frightmare.

I have not seen The Flesh and Blood Show. Die Screaming Marianne isn't great either.

Around the same time as he did The Flesh and Blood Show, he also did The Four Dimensions of Greta. The dvd-sleeve of Greta says the following about it :
'Tacky British sleaze at its most glorious and dubious, featuring possibly the worst German Accent ever committed to film, enough pubic hair to stuff two sofas, and some of the worst acting and limb contortions ever seen.'
Sounds tasty, right ? Posts: 2176 | From: The Netherlands | Registered: Jun 2011 | Site Updates: 0
