A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Romero & Argento get together for a Poe inspired anthology. Overlong at 1hr per segment and neither story is amongst the respective director's top tier (though the Argento delivers a lot more bang for buck than the Romero) work but it's still good. BU BD is excellent and the ported over restrospective documentary from the dvd, including fun vintage behind the scenes footage, was good to see again too.
The Stendhal Syndrome 10/10
another excellent BU BD that blows even the best dvd release out of the water. Noticeable improvement in detail, colours and plenty grainy (a good thing). The film itself is underrated; an absorbing character study/thriller that is intense, fast paced and brutal, and the titular syndrome makes for some stunning surreal sequences - and that's just the first two thirds, before heading into 60s Polanski-style territory. The obvious passion for the subject matter and unique style lacking from more recent Argento efforts like Card Player and (especially) Giallo is in force here. Asia is compelling to watch, dp Giuseppe Rotunno and composer Morricone do superb work. What's not to like?
The New York Ripper 10/10
"Sweetheart, I'm a prostitute, not your wife. You want coffee, you make it yourself"....quacking killer with a bizarre motive, red herrings, stylish visuals, gory murders (or "moiders"), a standout film in the giallo genre by Fulci, presented on another great Blue Underground bluray

Have you seen Fulci's Black Cat?

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Yep, not amongst his best work, more middle of the road - still makes it worth a watch from time to time. I take it you're a fan?

TMNT 7/10
Pretty decent story and some good voice acting
Animation is top notch but just really felt like a long episode rather than a movie.
A full series done in this style would rock

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

This is a newer movie, right? I always confuse this with the old Sean Connery film.

I think it is a Jim Caviezel movie, with a kind of predator meets 13th warrior vibe. I liked it to if I recall correctly.

Ahh yes, I know which one it is now. Hmmm... maybe a double feature with 13th Warrior is in order.
