Well, theres no doubt in my mind, Argento simply doesnt have his heart in filmmaking anymore.Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-18593579492315356262010-11-22T11:54:07.599-05:002010-11-22T11:54:07.599-05:00Thanks for writing, folks, and thank the Albany Pu...Thanks for writing, folks, and thank the Albany Public Library for making this public service possible at no cost to me apart from 90 minutes of my life. My understanding has been that Argento has been on the decline for quite a while, and Brody seems well en route to F.

I've seen several of his recent ones but MOTHER OF TEARS was wretched and I gave up on Argento completely. I vaguely wanted to see this one, but I think you have successfully crushed any faint desire to do so. <br /><br />There are some Argento movies I really liked including THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE, DEEP RED, and even SUSPIRIA. (I haven't seen OPERA in a number of years and don't really remember my reaction to it.) DEEP RED is especially good and a great example of the giallo style. But the past decade or so he has made one stinker after another, opting for the easy torture porn route and ignoring the mystery part of the giallo genre. I hear George Romero is planning a 3-D remake of DEEP RED. I usually reserve judgment on these things but... oy.Jason Marshallhttp://moviesovermatter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-34858185576108929252010-11-21T13:50:28.619-05:002010-11-21T13:50:28.619-05:00I was really curious about this movie, but after s...I was really curious about this movie, but after seeing Phantom of the opera and then the DREADFUL Mother of Tears, I was a little gunshy. Sounds like I was right to avoid it. Thanks for the tip!R.S.

I forget the name, but I'd not heard of it before.<br /><br />Incidentally, OPERA was the last Argento movie I have seen from start to finish and that was way back when it came out. I've not been able to make it through any of his newer films ie 90s up to now. I did make a note to see his first Masters of Horror episode.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.com
