There's a whole bunch of stuff at Trash-online i'm going to be getting over the next wee while, it's only since being here that i've known about vigilanteforce's cool list of stuff.
I watched Cry of a Prostitute last night(that was the title), man what a mean and distasteful movie this is. I loved it! Silva plays a fairly similar character to Lanzetta of Il Boss fame, only this time his motivation for playing warring mafia clans off each other is a "hatred for Americans who think they are Sicilians". He only takes time away from engineering the downfall of these families to abuse and debase the ex-whore wife of the American Don( a greaseball who gets his jollies from tales of his wife's past sexual encounters) played by Bouchet. Barbara really delivers on the sleaze in this, whether it's with pig's blood or milk or a banana she goes way further than any other movie i've seen her in before.
Henry is such a bad ass in this, he's equally proficient with a gun or his fists or his belt, and his delivery of the words "Motherfucker" and "Bitch" ar unsurpassed. I was only disappointed in him when he seemed to be going soft by helping the feud-divided lovers to escape but a deftly thrown knife soon put paid to that. There's a pleasing twist ending to the film which ties up the loose end of Silva's recurring flashbacks, overall I was well impressed and will need to seek out a longer and widescreen cut of this.
