7/10 The Italian Connection (1972) 95m - Mario Adorf is still alive at 95 years, Henry Silva just died also at 95. Apparently an inspiration for the 2 main guys of pulp fiction, pretty decent action. Always liked Mario he's got the body of ollie, naschy. He would of made a great Mario from (nintendo), though where the fuck they get off trying to make Henry Silva as a good looking dude, OK its 70s Italy but come on.
6/10 The Thrill Killers (1964) 70m - Don't mind me, I'm just at home alone relaxing by the pool painting in my swimsuit whilst wearing 4 inch heels, cause this is how I dress casual around the house. Holy fuck thats some quick acting poison, the guy brings the cup to his lips and doesnt even drink and a nanosecond falls down dead. Actually some good acting in this film
2/10 Olga's Girls (1964) 70m - By coincidence, same year same runtime, but totally shit. Dubbing a film latr rarely works, esp when 90% of the dailog is a voiceover.Meant to show the seedier side of life, vice drugs, prostitution, torture etc but its all some tame. Girls are ugly to boot
4/10 The Hypnotic Eye (1960) 79m - Fuck the hero cop is a stupid fucker. The other cop looks a little like vince price. The scene with gramps being a beatnik poet is WTF. Hmmm I'm not sure if waking up the lady whilst dangling like that was the best idea. In fact I would say 99 times out of 100 it would be the wrong idea.
5/10 Evil Eye (1975) 106m - Giallo but more supernatural than the usual, with genre fav's Anthony Steffen & Jorge. In fact no real resolution in the end
5/10 Murder in the Blue Room (1944) 61m - Typical piece that they put out then as a vehicle to promote some 'entertainers' Of course back then all the entertqainers sucked. Fuck Bob Hope btw. One thing that was not explained was why was there a genuine ghost wandering around and no-one bats an eyelid.
5/10 Naked Violence (1969) 92m - They're really selling the myth of absinthe, I've had it a few times and its just a normal the initial interview in the police station took like 40 mins or so, fuck talk about bad pacing. The whole film is a bit of a yawn TBH

Btw I did add a couple of films here but they're not here now, I mustn't of saved it, Haveta redo, fuck

7/10 The Unnaturals (1969) 83m - Film full of bastards except the man and his mum. Nice film that gets a bit surreal at the end. I've always loved Luciano Pigozzi
5/10 Naked Killer (1992) 89m - Not really any nudity, just the usual hong kong overly stylish crap. Though theres a lot of genital mutilation
4/10 Deathstone (1990) 88m - Jan Michaels Vincerts crap acting fully on display here. Not sure why he got often cast for action roles cause he's a weed (prolly cause he doesnt have the chops to pull off anything with emotion)
6/10 The Hound of the Baskervilles (1980) 100m - Quite a good adaption, fuck that must make at least 10 I've seen, prolly after jekyll and hyde would be the 2nd most films story.
5/10 The Possessed (1965) 95m - Also style over substance, must of taken me 2 weeks to watch.
7/10 A Family Torn Apart (1993) 98m - Family drama a predictable tale but saved by some good acting. True the parents were assholes but murder come-on, a bit overkill.

4/10 The Hidden II (1993) 93m - Actually quite liked the start of this, I think I was in the mood for an 80s style sci-fi. Though after 15mins its like and this is not how is gonna be
5/10 The Big Scare (1964) 85m - Very french comedy, I guess you need to understand french fully to appreciate it
8/10 Spring Breakers (2012) 94m - Nice style, very predictable story though. Also it does wear out its welcome, should of mixed it up around the 60min mark.
5/10 Crazy Desires of a Murderer (1977) 89m - Giallo, a bit unusual then again a lot of giallo's are.
5/10 The Card Player (2003) 103m - Actually better than all argento's recent stuff. The ending was just stupid though
7/10 Speak No Evil (2022) 97m - Completely implausible story but hey best not to engage the brain. And one thing that didnt make sense is what were the kids for?
6/10 Ricky 6 (2000) 111m - Based on a true story, part of what led to the satanic panic of the 80s. But the actual story is pretty tame. NZ we had our own (related) version 90s I think some pre-school was performing static rituals on childred etc, of course it was all BS. The main guy that got accused died recently IIRC.

5/10 The Spreading Ground (2000) 100m - Dennis Hopper is one of the greats, though this aint near his best work. Interesting premise police and the mob were trying to track down a serial killer. Not exactly sure why the mob was (some land deal for $150million or something lame, it never made sense)
3/10 Rooms for Tourists (2004) 90m - How is this compared to hostel, it has nothing in common! Very scary film, WTF OK I guess some reviews have something to do with the making of this film, but theres reviewer names I realize morrison-dylan-fan, Scarecrow-88, ElijahCSkuggs (though he always rates high)

Its a pity they didn't go with it.
Cause instead of listening to arnie saying varitaions of 'I'll be back' at political rallys for the next 3 decades we could of heard him say
'watch me while I ejaculate some tax cuts for you'
He could of been president

I actually saw that in the thatre, pretty disappointing TBH. some of the earlier episodes were better. Though to be expected as you must run out of good idea material after a while

yeah I havent seen anything for maybe the last 10 seasons.

but its normal nearly all artists follow the same path
first couple are OK but they're learning the ropes/art
then 3-6 album/film whatever is the best work
then a slow decline of getting worse and worse and they've used up all their ideas and their powers fade

I don't know if you'ld call that science. But yes its how things go. I've seen the decline in myself,
this is easily measurable (as not just in my head) I used to do complex algebra equations in my head, in a second, now I am with pencil and paper for 5 minutes and still don't come up with the correct answer.

Luckily for me I started from such a good place
