I'm tremendously pleased to hear you enjoy my reviews, and, being an Irish-blooded fellow, also happy to know I have an Irish readership, or at least an Irish reader! Ha ha! I appreciate your note and hope the reviews continue to be day-brighteners!

You have a wonderful way with words and I love your marking system. Even if I don't know the movie in question I enjoy your writing. Enter the Dragon is an iconic classic, though I think I've only seen a butchered for British TV version minus the nunchukas! Anyway, keep up the good work and a big haha for you from the west of Ireland!

Lalo occasionally fell into that trap, as most composers do, but I still think he's fantastic!<br /><br />I agree heartily with everything else you've said, especially with the shame of not pitting Bruce against Bolo!Burlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471864627412228340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492795376174847769.post-41413664440306353962021-01-27T15:14:34.779-06:002021-01-27T15:14:34.779-06:00Gotta say, I love Lalo's score here, his cod-k...Gotta say, I love Lalo's score here, his cod-kung fu funk opening theme is epic!<br /><br />It's such a classic of the genre it seems churlish to point out that it's kind of shoddy in too many places, and what we wouldn't have given to see Bruce fight Bolo, what a missed opportunity. But Bruce in action was a sight to behold. John Saxon? Maybe not quite so much, though bless him for trying.<br /><br />And no Enter the Dragon, no Jim Kelly in Black Belt Jones! There's that to thank it for.THX 1139https://www.blogger.com/profile/07574901864533202054noreply@blogger.com
