Monica Bellucci in Franck Spadone (uncut) July 11

I could not find my old thread for this film so here's a short new announcement:

Hoping for a US distro-deal for the latest Monica Bellucci film* here's the cover for the upcoming uncut version of Franck Spadone set to be released on July 11.



Ciao,
Pro-B

Really, July? Who is putting it out and what the fuck are they doing waiting until end of June to announce it? Seems suspicious.

Try not to get seduced by that cover - the movie, Frank Spadone, is a truly amateurish awful movie, even with Monica Belluci in it.

Peep:

SKDVD are a very small company from Miami (I actually believe that they are a one-man show) but are indeed legit. Their latest releases reveal much, much better quality compared to what they offered in their initial batch of titles. I am not quite so sure why there isn't a large prmotion for this film (which was already released with a shabby transfer). This being said, I am going to disagree with Todly - the film is anyting but horrible. It is a predictable noir-picture with a style (a mix of late-night erotica with a action/suspense...something that I enjoyed quite a bit). Very much as straightforward as A La Petite Semaine...

For the record the same company is releasing Y.Attal's Cannes sensation Les Patriotes.

Ciao,
Pro-B

She is by far the sexiest foreign film star I have ever seen. Vincent Cassel is one lucky man to have her as his wife.

Spadone Franck's cover looks similar to the Sin City covers.

I am very interested in seeing Combien Tu Maimes.

official company site (look under coming soon):
http://www.skddvd.com/

I have requested that we get the DVD for TALK review so hopefully I should have one up rather soon. With this said not many mainstream stores seem to carry their products. The Portuguese entry just recently appeared at DVDEMPIRE.

Never understood the attention this woman gets. Yes, she's attractive. Although I've seen many women that look better, Catherine Zeta Jones included. But I've never been impressed with her ability to act.

Thanks for clearing that up. Hopefully Netflix will get a copy.

I don't know if you're taking into consideration their work outside the US or not -- but I think I'd find that criticism hard to understand if you were. As with other recent foreign imports into the Hollywood system -- Penelope Cruz, Monica Bellucci, Zhang Ziyi, etc -- I think it's relatively unfair to judge them based on their performances in English language films. I've seen them all do wonderful work... none of it, however, is in English.

That said, you're a pretty harsh critic if you can't forgive Monica Bellucci for a little average acting. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to finding more DVDs featuring Edwige Fenech.

I never understood the love for the latest Star Wars trilogy, but there you go.

Her acting ability is much greater than Lucas' directing ability.

Pro-B, any updates on this? It's supposed to street in a couple of days but most online vendors seem to be showing only a version (previous release?) with a different cover (and even that doesn't seem readily available). I can't seem to find any listing with the new cover art or anything indicating a release this Tuesday. Even the SKDDVD website listing takes you to the different (previous release?) cover at Amazon which shows an availability of 3-6 weeks.
