Hell of a film. It made me smile a lot. But there were parts that I was far from smiling. This woman has been through the hell of cancer and come out triumphant. And I wish her all the luck in the world. I saw "White Diamond" at a special screening the night it was first premiered in London on Leicester Square. It touched me, watching footage of Kylie cutting short her Manchester show, apologizing and looking, if not very unwell, profusely sorry to her crowd. And the footage of Danni and Kylie together live on stage can't be described better than Danni does it herself. Watch the film, you'll understand. All in all, an amazing insight into a very private life. Keep going Kylie, we really do love you. x

Saw this the other day. What a laugh! Apparently, some films in the 70s were suffering from attention from Warners, who tried to ban them saying they ripped off their classic "The Exorcist". How this slipped by them I'll never know! Not a subtly or even majorly similar film, this is a complete remake! I mean even the same SOUNDTRACK! Tubular Bells is played EIGHT times in this movie. Get some imagination! They try their best I suppose. The actress playing Gul hasn't got any stunt performers standing in for her a la Eileen Dietz puking all over poor Jason Mller, no, this babe hurls the yellow (not green for once) puke herself. I totally loved the dramatic organ music when the bed levitated (God, it took so LONG!) and then the same music a few minutes later when the bed descended. Fantasticaly crap! The mother reminded me of my make up tutor. Hmmm. Couldn't look at this actress without seeing a foundation pot and a bruise wheel. Not to worry. How these people think they can do this and not get sued (hell, they managed) I will never know. Turks have BALLS! See it. It's trash, badly made and completely pants. Great stuff. :O)

Disappointment is something I`m used to from films. Come on, not every film can be great, even if I'm expecting it to be. This was another one. Why on earth Christopher Lee said Yes to this stinker I'll never know. Maybe it's because he got way more lines than he ever did in a Hammer Dracula. Even with the acting talents of Lee and Lom, this is still a lousy movie. The sets are fine, the music is atmospheric and the acting is at least acceptable (from some of the cast anyway). But at one point I was almost crying out for Klaus Kinski to say something. For god's sake, a couple of lines wouldn't have hurt, and the fact that Renfield is mute does not add to the character AT ALL. The promise that the film will tell Stoker's story exactly as it was written is a down-right lie, as Stoker didn't write half this rubbish. One thing the film must be congratulated on, is that for once, Dracula is not killed by Van Helsing, but Quincey Morris, as he was in the book. But the death scene is REALLY sh*t. I mean REALLY. Christopher Lee doesn't even act it well. If you're gonna watch a Dracula film, watch Horror of Dracula, or the acceptable Bram Stoker's Dracula. Bin this lame attempt at a film, don't even pay to hire it.
