Wow!!! First movie I haven’t seen and of which I had never heard anything (okay, among those released in the last month ;)...and I get the impression that even if I know something about it now, I will never willingly watch it!

Ah, the original title (much more light-hearted) was "Much Ado About Murder"!

Wow Bartleboom, great review but the film is really not worth much, relying solely on Price's shoulders (who's excellent, but it's a role that's kind of tailor-made for him!) (I wonder if anyone also thought about the slender plot of "The Crow"?!... another, subsequent, sequence of aestheticized murders) (my favorite sequence is the one inspired by "The Merchant of Venice"; erm, you could have also mentioned those same suburban freaks serving as gruesome oompa-loompas). But the rating is a stretch.

"Rome," the episode of "Night on Earth" (also Jarmusch) featuring him and Bonacelli, is another one of his comic peaks (though that's quite a few when you really think about it!).

I mean, Urtis, following the reverse chronology of the movie?! Are you saying that the Monica INTERnational POPPular actually evolved from a dying, rotting ectoplasm to a man-eating hot chick that teases you but won't let you touch her unless you're a Frenchie with a creepy face?! (ehem, sorry Trucido!).

The album scores a 3.5; Dez and Meegs were the musical soul of the band (which managed, at least in the "nu-metal" scene, to produce three albums that were fairly "different" in style from one another). Too bad about the rhythm section (Mike Cox was really a mediocre drummer). In the trend of covers (damn, everyone was doing them, and then they even released them as singles), their version of "Shock the Monkey" is one of the best, if only for the interplay between Ozzy's croak and Dez's booming voice (absolutely hilarious!).

Michael Powell L'Occhio Che Uccide (Peeping Tom)

Well, the comparison Powell/Hitchcock seems a bit forced to me... since the former started as an assistant director to Sir Alfred... ah, Peeping Tom, I don't think it was mentioned, is the character who, in the Anglo-Saxon legend, spies on Lady Godiva riding naked and becomes blinded by it. (Oh, Pressburger, good man, you’re no longer relevant!).

Luckily, they experiment a bit with some glitches here, a bit of "noizance" here and there, and other uneven little percussions, because otherwise, stripping everything down, their songwriting is really flat, and even the moods aren’t that great! I quite like Matmos a lot more (they have a ton of irony and a taste for artifice in addition, even if "musique concrète" has a long history behind it!).
