I've seen most of the giallos out there. The stuff I find these days is usually pretty bad. La Bestia Uccide Sangue Freddo falls into the don't bother category unless you are a completist. 1/5

I remember loving House of Flying Daggers. Watching it on blu-ray brings out the amazing colors but the lame special effects really suffer. Still an impressive visual feat. 3.5/5

M is a crazy Fritz Lang movie. Peter Lorre is amazing in the film. The film itself isn't the best but it's great to see how many things we thing of as modern has been used for over 100 years. And it looks great on blu-ray. 3.75/5

Cool Hand Luke is in my top ten movies. It looks amazing on blu-ray. I love this movie. 5/5

Les Choses de la Vie is a slow burn movie that doesn't pay off much. I get while film geeks love it but it's nothing special. 3/5

Cat O' Nine Tails is a fun giallo from Dario Argento. Karl Marlden as a blind man is great. 3.75/5

13 Assassins is one of the best Takashi Miike films. I expect it to be in my best of the year list. 4.25/5

It took me 10 years but I finally made my wife watch it. She appreciated it but didn't love it. She has problems. 5/5

Exit Through the Gift Shop is one of my favorite films from last year. It's a great movie. 4.5/5

I heard good things about Knowing. Despite my better judgement, I rented it. The first hour is great. The second hour undoes all that greatness. 2.5/5

Predators is a decent restart of the franchise. I hope they make more. I didn't enjoy it as much the second time. 3/5

A L' Aventure is a sexy French film. I don't think it's for everyone but enjoyable. 3.75/5

The Wild Hunt jumped on my top ten of the year at the last minute. It's a great, dark and disturbing movie about LARP'ers. 4.25/5

I love 70's Italian cinema and giallos. While Blood Splattered Bride isn't a giallo, it certainly has all the conventions of one. Plus lesbian vampires. 3.25/5

I think Street Trash is a movie that if you didn't see it at a certain age you probably won't enjoy it. I can see why it's a cult hit but I found it very tedious. 2.5/5

Nude Nuns with Big Guns is a step up from director Joseph Guzman. While ridiculously derivative of Robert Rodriquez and Tarantino films, he does show a better understanding what made 70's exploitation films work. 3.25/5

Trash Humpers might be one of the worst films in years. Just horrible. 0.5/5

Bibliotheque Pascal provides an interesting take on the issue of human trafficking with a surrealist take. Not sure entirely what happened but it was a good watch. 3.5/5

Probably one of the worst documentaries I've ever seen. Rich white lady takes a moderately talented Thai dancer and brings him to America to become a moderately talented ballet dancer. Yeah rich white people! 1/5

Cinema Paradiso is in my top ten films of all time. It's a loving tribute to film and romance. 4.75/5

All Good Things is a film that didn't need to be made. It's a boring story where nothing happens for a long time. 2/5

It's always good to get a different take on current events. Armadillo follows a group of Danish soldiers in the middle east. 3.5/5

The French are putting out some amazing horror films these days. 7 Days is a difficult but rewarding film to anyone willing to view it. 4.25/5

PVC-1 is a real time film that keeps the tension tight. 3.75/5

Martyrs is a tough film to watch. I love it and hate it at the same time. It runs though so many areas that the beginning doesn't even begin to hit at the ending. 4.5/5

Not my favorite film but I can see why people like it. The first half of Heavy Metal is much stronger than the second. The story drags forever and derails all the good will established in the first 2/3rds of the film. 3/5

Adam's Apples is a charming Danish film starring the always watching Mads Mikkelsen.The running gag with Mikkelsen is great and there are some wonderful bits but it's one note tone kills the pacing of the film. 3.25/5

I haven't disliked a movie this much since Dead Girl. Human Centipede just pointless and useless film making. Avoid it. 1/5

Timecrimes is just a great film. I really enjoy it. If you enjoyed Triangle, watch this, it's better. 4/5

Necromentia has lots of potential and it does a lot with its modest budget. However, it feels like a bad Hellraiser knockoff and the script could use a bit more work. 2.75/5
