French flick.
In medievil times, in France. "The Beast" is attacking people and the peasants are scared.
In comes two blokes, a roguish French dude and his Iriqoi Indian mate.
They talk a lot and then pursue The Beast.
The CGI for the Beast is naff. Roy Harryhausen could have done a better job.
However, with that aside I have to say this movie rocks.
Absolutely fantastic.
Loads of awesome fights, people killed with hatchets, slo-mo/speedy quick kung-fu action in rainy fields, vengeaful attacks on barbarian strongholds, nudey women, more fights, more nudey women, a bloke with Tribal tattoos going mental on 9 blokes in slo-mo/speedy quick.
Well worth watching.
Werewolf/awesome fight/nudey French women/tattooed indian ass-whupping goodness.

No idea, I reckon she witched him up and stuff.
I'm buying this tomorrow along with Straw Dogs. I wasn't sure about this film before I rented it, but the moment the Iriqois Indian kicks all their heads in during the slo-mo rain fighty, I thought "Have some of this then" and enjoyed it to bits.

Just finished watching it. So very class. I'm sure thats longer than it was in the cinema. Anyway..Er, spoilers and whatever.
The Beasts a lioness, right? A big hefty lioness from Africa. As far as I can tell. That the one-armed bloke with the really cool bone sword stuck armour on and metal spikes and stuff. But it's still a lioness. Not a werewolf. :)
How the hell did Monica Belluci resurrect Chevalier bloke? Maybe she faked his death to get him out of prison, but he was in the ground for hours. I did think of this when first I saw it. Incidentially, she's in the Matrix sequels. Don't reckon she can beat being a Papal agent ho with a killer fan, to be honest.

A-spied this in Tescos today for 16 quid, hurried to the cashpoint and bought it. Su-bloody-purb. Haven't seen it since last year in the cinema. Oh yes. I'll watch it tonight. Next up: Ravenous.
Dubbing isn't that bad, it's just that subtitles a better. What they do for some animated films that get dubbed is change the lip movements, altogether, which is alright. But yeah, subtitles are much better.
The only decent dubbing I have ever heard (should that be seen? er..) was on Das Boot. The original actors dubbed themselves into English, which ensured authenticity (after a fashion) and kept the original atmos of the film intact.
Yep.
Dubbing is alright in 70s kung-fu flicks, but apart from that it should be subtitles.

dubbing is crap.
Dubbing ruins films.
This is not poncy film buff "ooh I want integrity and the director's original vision" speak, this is a fact.
Dubbing sounds balls because it's done in some studio by a person who invariably doesn't sound right. The speaking doesn't move in time with he lips and so makes the whole effort look disjointed. And, although directors often have to re-record lines as a dub if the mikes didn't pick up the character's lines well enough, if you record something in a studio you lose all the echoes, and all the atmosphere of the original location.
I prefer subtitles, though I don't mind there being a dub, so long as I can swtich it off. What really annoys me is films which don't give you an option. "City of the Lost Children" finally got a DVD release over here and was completely ruined by a compulsory English dub.

Excellent. I want this film. All I wish is that I had the money for this.
This weeks DVDs:
Blade II £15
Chasing Amy £10
The Untouchables £10
Amelie £10
O Brother Where Art Thou/The Great Escape 2 for £20 deal
So basically I'm broke. But I don't really mind, Blade stabbed some vampires in the head, which made me feel better after watching the arty French movie that I only got because it was a tenner. But I enjoyed it.
