Advantages: A movie that will keep you guessing to the end Disadvantages: Needs to be seen twice to fully appreciate
...to the latest Shameless release Watch Me When I Kill (Aka il Gatto dagli oochi di giada, The Cats Victims, The Cat With Jade Eyes), this movies writer/director Antonio Bido was clearly so inspired by the Dario Argento movie Deep Red (Profondo Rosso) that the movie mimics it. Watch Me When I Kill is a rare delight; it?s one of those seldom seen movies that is often discussed by fans of the Italian thriller genre. The trouble being that those lesser ... ...piecing the story together. With Watch Me When I Kill the movie surrounds a shared secret, something that happened in the past that connects a group of seamlessly un-associated characters. The whole series of events begins with the murder of an old pharmacist one day while working in his store. Nightclub performer Mara (Paola Tedesco) stumbles across the scene of the crime, and by association puts herself in the line of danger. When old flame Lukas ...
Advantages: A compelling tale told with warmth and humour by those who lived it Disadvantages: Unnecessary "reconstruction" scenes used over voiceovers
...my childhood however, of the man who got on a tightrope and spent 45 minutes walking from the roof of one tower to the other. This was big news back in 1974, when I was ten, and I well recall the iconic images of this man, who I considered to be a clown, walking on a wire 1,368 feet off the ground. Of course in childhood that number means nothing – in fact despite the TV coverage Frenchman Phillipe Petit’s feat received in 1974, it wasn’t until I ... ...became forever known as the man who walked between the World Trade Center twin towers. Petit, rightly, is the star of the show however for me it was the supporting cast who really helped to tell the story of “le coup” and I recommend this wonderful film to all. Finally, I also realised that the man I had considered a clown for so many years was something much, much more – when he was on the wire he was a dancer and what he did was, for me anyway, ...

Review of Man On Wire
Advantages: A lost Italian classic Disadvantages: A little overlong
...Shameless Screen Entertainments latest offering, Oasis Of Fear (AKA Diry Pictures, An Ideal Place To Kill, Un Posto Ideale Per Uccidere), a movie that journeys back to the directors early career. Made and set in 1971, Oasis Of Fear is a like a leftover product of the 1960's, its message during the opening moments is one of peace and love. The opening credits show young lovers Dick Butler (Ray Lovelock here credited as Raymond Lovelock) and Ingrid ... ...More than anything else Oasis Of Fear is a cultural education, lots of throwbacks to the seventies, while almost debunking the aspect that some European countries offered a much more sexually liberating lifestyle than our own. After all, the couple made their way from country to country selling pornography to the masses, and its far from being the hardcore end of the business. It's curious that even the sound of a couple having sex, would be enough ...
Advantages: Amazing information and tear jerking moments of reality Disadvantages: Would like to have seen even more footage

A Tiger Aspect and Mongoose Production. Cert 15
Release 2008
As i am a fan of Tiger Aspect productions i was interested to see how a documentary of this calibre would be portrayed. This company is one of the most successful production companies in the UK. With my own partner serving in Iraq at present ... ...am also a fan of Ross Kemp's Series of Gangs and wanted to compare his performance in each. I found the DVD very informational and quite heart rendering. In both Ross Kemp talks openly and honestly about his feelings and opinions. He also shows his emotions towards the bravery of the soldiers in Afghanistan which is contrasted in the series of Gangs where bravery is not relevent and instead shows a sign of tolerance. The DVD includes the training ...
Advantages: More than just a football film - its a journey for body and mind Disadvantages: I want to see more skills
...world (maybe not as many in England!) and his influence on these 5 guys is immense, so much so that they go in search of Diego so they can shake the hand of the man who has taught them so much by watching his skills, tricks and team play while playing for Argentina, Barcelona, Napoli and many more. Although it sounds like a football road movie, this is so much more and i will even go as far as to say that this documentary bought a tear to my eye. ... ...river to start their journey in the USA, their aim is to make money by performing freestyle tricks on the streets to eventually get across to Argentina to meet Diego, all with nowhere to stay and nothing to eat. Everything would have to be subsidised by their football skills.
A good idea if it can be pulled off, however the lads underestimate the varying personality clashes, the distance they need to get to, the organisation and if they do get to ...
