One the better movies I've found on this current subscription to Shudder. Really trippy shit with a heavy soundtrack that includes work from Electric Wizard and Isis. 

Not as good as its reputation, in my opinion, but an enjoyable quirky film. The ending is gut-wrenching though. 

Sam was also a load of crap. 

would have been so much better if they played it straight instead of having a retarded plot twist

Saw this not long ago and I was very impressed with the special effects. It also made a great effort to stick to the original story.

Much improved over Diamonds are Forever! Roger Moore's first outing as Bond and he fits straight in. There's brilliant boat chases, which include a world record boat jump, there's silly gadgets, there's gratuitous female nudity, there's sheriff car wrecks Dukes of Hazzard style. The supernatural/voodoo element to the story is a little silly, but it was a different time.

And as someone who wasn't really familiar with the theme song except through the GnR cover, the original fucking rocks!

Very solid western meets film noir movie. There are a few issues with the plot that prevent it from being true upper echelon, but overall it's a good example of this genre mix.
