In this collection of three stories, an emotionally abused
wife finds comfort in the arms of her brother-in-law, a young
dancer undertakes an erotic and redemptive pilgrimage to Rome
involving live sex shows and nude photography, and a femme
fatale looks into a mirror as she recalls a sadomasochistic
love affair...
Try
imagining an erotic version of Alfred Hitchcock Presents,
and you'll have some idea of what this DVD series is like.
Only less well made. Producer Tinto Brass has little direct
involvement with these short films, apart from introducing
each one while puffing away characteristically on a cigar,
and making the occasional cameo appearance.
Though
the productions claim to have been directed in the "Tinto
Brass style", there is scant evidence of it here. Only in
A Magic Mirror is there any hint of Brass's eccentricity,
in the grotesque character of a brusque layabout husband (Ronaldo
Ravello), who spends much of his screen time lounging around
in a bath, like the captain of the B-Ark in The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy. But, although this tale displays
the most humour in the entire collection, it also shows off
the least amount of bare flesh, which is surely another important
ingredient that the audience will be expecting.
Things
get sexier in Julia, the story from which this collection
takes its name, which includes some particularly explicit
and highly charged sex scenes. Unfortunately, the plot is
almost totally incomprehensible - something to do with a dancer
(Anna Biella) going to Rome, but wildly at odds with the description
on the back of the sleeve, which mentions a photographer's
three beautiful models. I counted two of them at the most.
This production is also blighted by amateurish editing, which
leaves several gaping holes in the soundtrack. Oh well, at
least this DVD is subtitled, which spares us from woeful English
dubbing of the type recently heard on Brass's Private.
The
final tale, I Am the Way You Want Me, is a very weird
and nasty little minx. In it, a naked woman (Fiorella Rubino)
sprawls around in her bathroom, mouthing various strange utterances
to camera, and doing erotic things to herself, such as shaving
with a fearsome-looking cutthroat razor (shudder). And that's
about it.
A
further disappointment is the lack of any extra features.
So, all in all, this DVD has left me feeling rather brassed
off!

Game Of Thrones Season 06 240p ((new)) -
It’s the strangest way to experience peak Thrones : nostalgic, gritty, and oddly immersive. Like watching a medieval epic through a frosted window. You’ll miss the sweeping landscapes, but you’ll never miss a single dagger in the dark.
Season 6 is where chaos pays off: The Battle of the Bastards becomes a muddy, stuttering slideshow of shields and screams—yet your brain fills in every brutal detail. The Tower of Joy reveal? A few smeared figures, a baby’s cry, and a cut to a ten-year-old mystery collapsing into perfect clarity. In 240p, you don’t watch Cersei blow up the Sept of Baelor—you feel the orange pixel-explosion, then the long silence. game of thrones season 06 240p
Watching Game of Thrones Season 6 in 240p isn’t just viewing—it’s a time-travel experiment. You’re not seeing Westeros; you’re remembering it through a hazy, glitchy dream. The jagged pixels become a feature, not a bug. Dragons? Blurry fire blobs. Jon Snow’s resurrection? A murky shape rising from a pixelated table. But somehow, that low-resolution haze strips away the Hollywood gloss and leaves only raw storytelling. You lean closer. You listen harder. Every crack of ice, every whisper in the dark, every “The North remembers” hits differently when you can’t rely on spectacle. It’s the strangest way to experience peak Thrones
