THE REVIEW

Just the fact that Tony Iommi & Geezer Butler chose the name of their band in honor of an Italian film makes this a masterpiece.

Just the fact that Boris Karloff is in it, who to me could also be the defensive midfielder for Sparta Prague in the days of Ferenc Puskàs - but if the name barely rings a bell, it means he's a great actor - makes this a masterpiece.

Just the fact that on a Tuesday morning (because at most you watch a movie on a Monday night) at work you say "Yesterday I watched Black Sabbath", people reply "ah, Live in Paris 70?", and you go "no, Mario Bava 60s" savoring their puzzled expression, makes this a masterpiece.

Or maybe just because I wanted to include the name Black Sabbath on my little page, but "I wanted to do it differently".

PS: No lengthy summaries, no intrinsic meanings, no super-rants VS mop-fests but just one great message: the blonde bombshell is hot.
