well, i have given up on trying to find the fine film Bullitt on the shelves here, so it is on the way from amazon. i went for the cheaper one disc version as i am not all that interested in the extras, i prefer the stylish silver cover to the one pictured here, and it is some three pounds sterling less! i hardly need to comment on what a great film Bullitt is, do i? yes, there's the whole Mustang car chase through San Francisco, but there has always been a great deal more to the film than that. certainly one of McQueen's finest roles, but then again it is difficult to think of a bad McQueen film, except perhaps the vanity project that was Le Mans.
on the other end of the quality spectrum, i now indeed have obtained this Abducted By The Daleks business. it is pretty much what you can guess, really - vastly cheap in scale and budget, and made purely on the basis that someone got hold of an old Dalek prop or two and wondered what to do with it. "make a cheap sleazy adult film with some eastern european babes" was clearly where the wondering ended up!Abducted By The Daleks has a humour value for fans of Dr Who, but i would imagine fans of the more adult nature of the film would get very bored, as it is all rather tame. a nice touch is certainly the alien dude with a cheap mask bought from a joke shop on, and the Daleks act, well, somewhat like Daleks, just with the wrong kind of voices. not a bad crack at it. my thanks to the patience of an anonymous individual who facilitated me getting this film!!
a recommendation? for a variety of reasons, i would recommend that you see either or both of these films if you get the chance to do so!!
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
