The movie stabs at trying to take you down false turns making you think you may know the killer, however these sidelines are so obvious you know there is no way that this person is the killer.
Visually the movie is great, it gives you a real taste of the Italian Lifestyle while staying 100% on track. It's nice to see technology being used, with many Italian horror movies there was no familiar technology to which we have today PDA's, PC's & Mobile Phones. So this gives you a reminder that your not watching an old movie, you can be lured into that trap with most Italian Horror films.
As is the norm with a Dario Argento movie, go with your gut instinct, you'll know who the killer is from the offset, even with this in mind it does not spoil the movie.
There are no languages or subtitles, but there is quite a good Documentary, and a promotional video of the movie, dont watch the promotional video before the movie as you'll know who dies.
But to me, this was the best Italian Horror movie I have seen made in the last 5 years and desrves a big thumbs up.
Advantages: Exellent DVD for those who wish top take their game to the next level Disadvantages: Only caters for the less experienced or higher handicapped golfer
This is an excellent DVD that really helps the less experienced golfer to understand how they can better their adverage score around the course. It not only teaches you the fundamentals that are required to play better golf, but it also coaches you how course management and and the mental side of your game helps shave numerouse wasted shots off your round. This DVD will help any player who gets in after his or her round and always looks at their card knowing that half a dozen shots could have been saved. "How to break 90" would make an ideal gift for a friend or relative who has recently or is planning to take up golf. Every player should view this DVD as it will help to knock at least 2 or more shots off their handicap. ...
Advantages: Learn how to do puzzles; it's for beginners and more experienced. Disadvantages: Hard to do causes lots of stress
for my hands I was set to go I thought.
Well in the box was the sudoku DVD with case and a pile of sudoku cards for you to fill in. I was never much good at sudoku but this is what I wanted to do. I found that I had no remote for my DVDplayer which didn't help either
You can play one on one with carol or with your family and friends lots of fun.
One week later I am using it as a coaster on my table beside my computer for when I have a good cup of tea. I will get round to completing my training hoist. I'm guessing you want to find out what happened well I put it in my DVDplayer it said it was not the right region DVDplayer no worries I said to myself I have another and indeed it worked.
So this product is designed for both beginners and more experienced players at the start Carol admit she is a sudoku addict. This DVD contains ...
Advantages: Brill film with an excellent soundtrack Disadvantages: flimsy story line
If you are are vampire slayer fanatic like me, Blade is the movie for you. I watch Buffy and Angel religeously and am a big fan of the genre, therefore, when I saw a preview of Blade, I was hooked.
The opening sequence is the pinicle of COOL, although the story line is too transparent, the special effects are awesome and the acting by Wesley Snipes is up to his usual unflawed standard. There is even a cameo appearance of Tracy Lords (better know for her porn movies).
I have to say that I watched this on DVD through my computer. I have Cambridge Works FPS1000 speakers and a Creative live 5.1 Playercard so the sound and picture quality were above average anyway. When the night club scene comes on with the soundtrack "Blade by Public Domain", make sure you turn your speakers up to the MAX !!!
To sum up, if this is the genre you ...
