The Case of the Scorpion's Tail

Rating: 
8/10

This is a pretty top-notch Giallo. It has George Hilton, Luigi Pistilli, a black hatted killer, bloody murder set pieces, sexy 70s European fashion, wonderful cinematic compositions, a dissonant score by Bruno Nicolai and oodles upon oodles of J & B Scotch Whiskey. On top of all that, a story that actually makes sense (a Giallo rarity!), you be twisting and turning until the very end.

The Odessa File

Rating: 
5/10

Lacks the pacing that could have made this a great spy thriller, and many of the performances are quite wooden. However, the climax is quite well done and makes up for much of the ho hum middle.

A lot of people said this was horrible, but I didn't mind it so much. Funny but completly lacking in character development.

Tropic Thunder

Rating: 
6/10

Entertaining war film parody. A little bit too much of an action film at the end.

Decent animated feature that's completely cliche, but enjoyable.

La Decima Vittima

Rating: 
6/10

A quirky 60's sci-fi thriller meets bedroom farce. Fairly entertaining but the ending is muddled.
