CRY OF A PROSTITUTE is awesome! I was heartbroken when Camera Obscura announced that they would not be releasing it.Leave a comment:

A couple weeks ago I finally tracked down CRY OF A PROSTITUTE. Fucking amazing! It lived up to the hype. Because of that I've decided to focus a bit more on Euro-crime the next couple months and cap it off with Mike Malloy's Eurocime doc. I'm somewhat new to the genre having only seen about 5 or so.
I started with RICCO'S MEAN MACHINE last night. I hated Christopher Mitchum in this film. He's too laid back and I didn't believe that his character gave a damn about getting revenge. If not for Barbara Bouchet and Malisa Longo constantly taking their clothes off I doubt I would have made to the shocking final 3rd of the film. I about fell off my couch when dudes started getting their cocks cut off and others were getting dissolved in vats of acid. Holy shit that was bananas. I'm guessing this film was difficult to find fully uncut in theaters back during its original theatrical run and on VHS. I assume it must not have been released in Britain during the Video Nasties scare. Next up Girolami's VIOLENT CITY.Leave a comment:

So, none other than Quentin Tarantino himself wrote into Video Watchdog's new issue (The Shining) to comment, nitpick and compliment my Eurocrime article from last issue. Pretty fucking pumped on that, I must say! Don't mean to self-aggrandize, but I'm just chuffed, is all!Leave a comment:

I tried searching for a thread about the film or Camera Obscura but couldn't find any and since I'm lazy I won't create a new one.

I love that film. It's a slow burner, quite political - reminds me of Damiano Damiani's style. I've got an ageing VHS release and would upgrade to a Blu release in a heartbeat.Leave a comment:

Hi Mark, I've got the disc (dropped through the letterbox on Saturday) but haven't watched it yet. The Raro Blu-ray releases are all over the shop, presentation-wise. I still keep meaning to order MEET HIM AND DIE which, despite its problems, I'm sure is a step up from the New Entertainment World DVD that I own.Originally posted by Mark C.

I have Paul, I have yet to watch it yet though. I used to own a VHS of it and have seen it. Obviosly it's a Raro blu and your probably wondering about the quality of the transfer?Leave a comment:

I received the Raro Blu-ray release of STUNT SQUAD/LA POLIZIA E SCONFITTA (Domenico Paolella, 1977) today. I don't think I've seen this film before, or if I have it was a long time ago and I've forgotten about it. I'm not expecting the video presentation to be spectacular, but I'm looking forward to watching the film.
Did anyone else pick this disc up?

Cross-post with this and the Mario Bava thread, 'cause it's relevant to both threads. I've reviewed Arrow's RABID DOGS and included some large screengrabs and some comparisons of the HD footage with the SD inserts, which may be of interest to some: http://dvdcompare.net/review.php?rid=3441
