A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'd argue that Corman's The Haunted Palace (which, despite the Poe title, is an adaption of ...Charles Dexter Ward) is pretty good too.
And Re-Animator and From Beyond are both hilarious, in an Evil Dead sort of way.

Isn't it great? Every movie should end that way.
Especially, since it keeps coming up here, Jaws!

Jaws should end on fire, giving us the bird?

Absolutely.
I guesss it'd work better in the sequel, since the shark is already biting into an electric cable. Someone needs to just put in little CGI shark fingers and we're done.

Today's featured review at one of my favorite b-movie blogs, Die Danger Die Die Kill is the Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) 1968 spy flick The Brain Stealers!
Essential reading for such evil overlord types as MM, Gud and Clovis.

I just came back from watching Au Hasard Balthazar at a screening room at the art college with a film professor, a couple of film students and a handful of philosophers. A logn discussion about Bresson and grace followed, which was almost over my head.
I don't know if I liked the film so much--The passivity of the actors was making me craaaaaazy, and I think I empathized far too much with the donkey. But I do love watching films with people who know the history and background a film. The best thing is that this may be an in more to these informal screenings. I so miss having a rep cinema in town.

Has anyone seen Waltz with Bashir? Usually not my kind of movie, but the animation made it watchable for me.

That wasn't a donkey! That was Jesus!
I love that movie for being so batshit crazy, but I think Megan might have a few choice words about it.
