		<description><![CDATA[Note: this review contains spoilers. Proceed with caution. According to exploitation legend, the story of Fascination started when Jean Rollin imagined two turn-of-the-century women dancing, and indeed that is the image that opens the film. The women are Elizabeth (Franca Mai) and Eva (Brigitte Lahaie), two of a circle of noblewomen, led by Hélène (Fanny [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Diamond Age is a, somewhat indirect, sequel to Neal Stephenson&#8217;s 1992 novel, Snow Crash, which explored a world where nation-states had broken down and been replaced by distributed republics called &#8220;Franchise Oriented Quasi-National Entities&#8221; (FOQNEs)&#8212;autonomous enclaves run as franchises of some corporation, party, or ideal, e.g. &#8220;Narcolombia&#8221; (the Medellin cartel), &#8220;CosaNostra Pizza&#8221; (the mafia), [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This review contains spoilers. Caveat lector. So, The Nude Vampire: Dr Radamante (Maurice Lemaître) and his colleagues (Bernard Musson, Jean Aron) are evil scientists (is there any other kind), holding a young woman they believe to be a vampire (Caroline Cartier) hostage. For some reason, their plan involves a suicide cult, people in animal masks, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reviewed from a screener. Oh, and the review contains spoilers. What we have here is basically a standard film noir, only told in about 8 minutes, with the on-screen action boiled down to one scene: a man named Judd (Eric Schneier) kills a woman called Lolita (Christy Scott-Cashman). This scene is bookended by two telephone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jess Franco has never really been one for tight plotting, which he proves yet again in 1973&#8242;s Female Vampire. Franco himself (under one of his many pen-names, Jess Franck) stars as Dr Roberts, a pathologist investigating a series of murders he, quite rightly, believes are being perpetrated by a vampire. Franco&#8217;s muse, Lina Romay in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unlike Jess Franco, who &#8212; as regular readers will remember &#8212; has regressed as director, Jean Rollin seems to have quietly grown into an accomplished auteur. His penultimate film, La nuit des horloges (&#8220;the night of the clocks&#8221;), is an artistic tour de force and by far the best Rollin film I&#8217;ve seen. Indeed, by [...]]]></description>

That should tell you everything you need to know about the quality of this film, but since I&#8217;m supposed to be offering reviews and commentary (it says so right in the title): Naïve 16-year-old Inga (Christina Lindberg) goes to stay with her sister, Greta [...]]]></description>

Usually, I just move on to the next film, but I thought I&#8217;d make an exception for Journey to Japan, just [...]]]></description>

Some a little bit bad and some mind-bogglingly bad (ET and Superman 64 being the classic examples). Trying to disprove this theory, Rocksteady teamed up with Batman: The Animated Series (among others) [...]]]></description>
