From Hell (2001)
Dark, shocking, but great
This film was aired on a French channel a few days ago, in its French dubbed version.
I absolutely wanted to watch it. First, because as a fan of the UK and anything related to this country, Jack the Ripper is part of this country's history. Second, because I wanted to watch Johnny Depp's performance.
I have watched many reports about Jack the Ripper and based on these TV reports, I can say that the film is fairly true to the reality, at least, what we are told about it.It's like travelling back through the years to this Victorian era and living the life of the most poor people.
It's an interesting but also very dark and somewhat shocking film, the kind of films that remains printed in your mind. It's a film that grabs you, that you can't watch lightly. It makes you think, imagine, it also frightens you.
Something worth watching anyway.
Ink Master (2012)
If only this show could only be focused on its art...
I've actually never been a tattoo fan but a few months ago, as I was looking for something a little interesting to watch on TV, I came across Ink Master and I've been watching the show from then on.
What I like in this show: some of the tattoos (flowers, realistic photos mostly-- I hate skulls, black and white, pin ups, old and new school tattoos) and the artistic and technical explanations from the contestants. I ONLY watch it because of these two aspects.
What I don't like: the drama scenes, the insults, fights, strategies to win, and Mr Nunez's behavior. Whereas Oliver Peck and Dave Navarro are rather fair judges (although sometimes a little politeness would be most appreciated), Chris Nunez is obviously only here to humiliate the contestants instead of purely sticking to his role as a judge.
As a conclusion: this show could be a really great one if Chris Nunez wasn't there and if the contestants were chosen differently. Some of them don't care a d**n about their 'art', they're just here to fight and make a fuss.
