BARON BLOOD
Original Title: Gil Orrori del castello di NorimbergaWest Germany/Italy: Mario Bava, 1972
(Tim Lucas commentary listened to on my MP3 player)
IMDB reference
This is another solid effort from Bava obsessive, Tim Lucas. Baron Blood maybe minor Bava but it is still a film that entertains and manages in places to evoke his previous gothic masterpieces Black Sunday, Black Sabbath and Kill Baby Kill. Tim Lucas' audio commentary is full of his customary facts and anecdotes about the making of the film. Again, Lucas' research is first class and where possible he has spoken directly to all the key cast and crew members. Specifically, Lucas highlights the significant rise in production value evident in Baron Blood and that this is testimony to producer Alfredo Leone, who ensured that all the money that was spent was seen on screen.
However, much like the film he describes, this track from Tim Lucas resides somewhere in the middle of his commentary output. The occasional periods of 'dead air' are present once more and I maintain that Lucas' delivery style is rather monotone and rehearsed. Although, this is nitpicking on my part as I believe Tim Lucas to be one of the very best purveyors of the audio commentary working today.
Commentary Rating: 7/10

(*) THE SOPRANOS - SEASON 4
USA: Various Directors, 2002 (Created by David Chase)Watched season 4 as part of my re-watching of The Sopranos in order to bring my girlfriend up to speed before we watch the final couple of seasons. Again, it reminded me of how good The Sopranos actually is at doing proper adult drama. Perfect.
Score: 10/10

Hooray, I can use a computer! Passed my QTS Skills Tests in ICT. Revising was hardly necessary after all as the tests are much easier than anticipated.
