Che Part One (Curzon Soho, London): 5/10. Dreadful...I fell asleep within an hour., but lasted until the lacklustre end. Way too long, it doesn't work as entertainment or as a Biopic, and whilst Del Torro is ok, you won't learn a thing about 'why' Che did anything. An empty experience and disapointing to say the least.
Fear[5] of the Dark (DVD): 6/10. Style over substance. Brilliant animation let down by average stories, especially the pointless connecting sections and the Saul Bass-lite opening credits
Rocco and his Brothers (DVD): 7/10 A long (170 minute?) B&W Italian film from the 60's. Not bad, but I won't want to see it again
Rome, Open City (DVD) 6.5/10: B&W Italian (once again!)...poor quality DVD, but an historic film, shot in 1946.
If (DVD) 7.5/10: not bad, although most of original impact will be lost on anybody who wasn't around in 1968. Still watchable, but 'of its time' I think
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (Region 1 DVD) 7/10. Once again not bad, and it was great to see so many familar faces in it
