Spanish horror icon, Paul Naschy, dons the cape and fangs to play Bram Stokers imfamous vampire. Nashy looks the part, with his dark looks, but why is he made to come off as weak when he fights? Ok, so he is fighting another vampire, but he is Dracula, THE vampire. Even a lowly vampire shouldn't pose a problem to him. Being a 70's EuroHorror, you can expect some blood, some boobs, some more boobs, and even some more boobs again. Unfortunatley, my view of the film is coloured by the shocking print of the DVD copy.
Zodiac
A truly superb film. Dark and intoxicating.
Been on a massive Peter Falk Columbo fixation recently and felt compelled to watch one of the later films that happens to share the same title as the forthcoming Bond film.
Oddly this particular episode reminded me more of the Daniel Craig era that I would have thought possible.
NTTD throws out the standard Columbo formula completely by opening with the homicide detective at his nephew's wedding and leads to the investigation of the bride's (Joanna Going) 's kidnapping. No murder here.
As with LTK and QoS, I've seen reviews that label this as the worst Columbo episode because departs from formula.
That said, I absolutely LOVED IT!!!!!!!
The villain, played by Daniel McDonald is a bit weak when compared to the likes of Louis Jourdan, Robert Culp, William Shatner, Ted Cassidy, Leonard Nimoy, etc.
In fact he reminded me a bit of Truman-Lodge. Had Anthony Starke played the baddie instead this no doubt could have been elevated substantially.
Another thing.......... Joanna Going could have been a Bond girl in the '90's. Oh well.
One more thing, Peter Falk is in top form as the lieutenant and looks dashing in black tie.
I find it hard to choose my favourite Fincher these days! But your assessment is spot on. Zodiac is a stunning piece of work - the scene with Gyllenhaal and Ruffalo in the diner, towards the end, where they put all the pieces together is delicious stuff.
I never tire of watching this film. It's an absolutely cracking thriller.
Strong Bond connection of course with its two lead actors: Edward Fox (NSNA) and Michael Lonsdale (MR).
This is a very good film indeed, @Thunderfinger. I'm pleased with the way Gervais introduces the biggest lie ever told in the history of mankind. :)
Yes, excellent film. Great performances by both Fox and Lonsdale as well.
Love this film. Cracking thriller!
I remember reading Producer Michael Deeleys book, 'Blade Runners, Deer Hunters, and blowing the bloody doors off!", where he states he turned down the chance to produce'The Day of The Jackal' , since he didnt see the point of it, as De Gaulle was expected to survive. He regretted it because the main thrust of the movie, as he realised when he saw the finished film, was The Jackals meticulous planning, and the Authorities racing against time to identify him!
One of Hitchcock s lesser films. The photo and the score is fine (It s 1938, after all), but as for the rest of the film, it felt forced and rather boring. The attempts at humour weren t funny at all. I think I may have seen this on tv as a kid, but couldn t remember anything. Now I know why.
I will be honest it’s my wife’s choice but I like it the film is very strong and fly’s by of course I want to see a Batman movie on batman day but I’m watching this film I realize that the theme of the movie is compromise which works well with the fact I don’t see Batman lol
Over all a high recommendation

There are perhaps some good ideas here, but this too suffers from bad humour and silly plot points.
Must see for every cinephile.
Did you like it?
Masterfullly directed by the great David Cronenberg who is at the very top of his game. Viggo Mortensen is sensational as Tom Stall.
Very much so, loved it. Call it controversial, but of the four Fellini films I have thus far seen, La Dolce Vita ranks fourth. It’s still a tremendously beautiful masterpiece, but I found myself preferring 8½, Nights of Cabiria and most especially La Strada (one of the most perfect films ever made) more.
I Vitelloni is next. Eventually.
8 1/2 is my favourite, but La dolce vita comes in second for me.
This one looks really interesting. Added to the watchlist.
I just looked that copy up, some nice special features with that release. :-?
Loved the comics as a kid. This was a waste of time. Zorglub and Fantasio were spot on, though.
Great movie.
It's such a well made film.
I have never seen that version. Might be worth tracking a copy down to compare. The English language version with Lugosi is in my top 3 Dracula films.
I liked Suicide Squad, but this was probably the worst DC movie ever. Everything sucks more or less constantly.
The camera actually moves more in the Spanish version and I love it when the count smashes the mirror with his cane instead of knocking it to the floor in the English one.
