The Touchables Rarely seen UK swinging 60's film. Good cast including the gorgeous Judy Huxtable, great score (Wynder K Frog, Nirvana etc), but not quite the undiscovered gem I expected. Very much of its kind.

Tamzin Outhwaite in a very dodgy Rumanian set 'thriller' called 7 Seconds. It's a Wesley Snipes vehicle full of car chases and shoot 'em ups. The plot is quite clever but it is ruined by terrible dialogue and really fast crash editing that makes Quantum of Solace seem rather sedate. Tamzin does well wih the action stuff but looks suitable embarassed when delivering lines such as 'you f-----g shitbag'. Avoid ......

The Ruling Class starring Peter O'Toole

Watched two films last night. The first one was "Hotel Reserve" which I didn't really find very interesting at all, in spite of a good cast - I'll probably watch it again, but I won't be going back to it in a hurry. The second was an American RKO B picture, "Destination Murder" which, going from the description in Halliwell's, seemed to have very little going for it. I enjoyed every...

Breakaway 1956 Neat 50's "B" film starring urbane Tom Conway. Bruce Seton, Brian Worth, Freddy Mills, Michael Balfour as (what else) the hero's sidekick & a very young & gorgeous Honor Blackman also appear. 70 minutes well spent!

Because I am currently reading HAMMER FILMS: The Elstree Studios Years, I re-watched MOON ZERO TWO earlier today. This was prompted by the detailed description of the set-building which is given by Art Director Scott McGregor in the book. It was - on that level - amazing to see what he did in the most cost effective way for the company. The film itself is simply effective as a mod, kitsch piece these days and it can be very much enjoyed at...
