Johnny's comments about the film:

Arráncame La Vida is a very good film about the relationship between a Mexican general and his wife as the general goes about his life-long campaign to become the president of Mexico. At first she is seduced by her husband's charisma, but when she finds out his that he is very far from faithful to her (and then some), she continues on being his wife, only for the power and pleasure that it gives her, but that is severely tested when she falls for a conductor. Regulars to this site will know that I adore Ana Claudia Talancón and here in probably her meatiest role to date, she excels. Hopefully, she will get these kind of roles in Hollywood in the future. Oh, and she get naked quite a bit, which is a bonus I suppose :)

Johnny's comments about the Blu-Ray

There's a scene where they (whoever they are) blurred out the pubic hair. Had a look around and it looks like it's the only Bluray/HD version around, apparently from Taiwan, as that's the only country it's been released on Bluray. I was going to junk it but it's only affects 10 seconds of one video so I've kept the old 720p version I capped off TV back in the day. Otherwise, the update is fine but I'll be on the lookout for an unblurred version. Although I have my doubts about one coming up.
