Quote:
One can see some cinematic similarities to King Kong. And I noticed other films have copied some scenes from She. But I can see why She didn't stand the test of time. I think the characters are way too shallow, dialogue too clunky, there's not enough going on for that amount of time. Hey FryeDwight, have you seen The Blue Bird (1940) with Shirley Temple? Definitely recommend. |

Ghost of Frankenstein (1942)
4/10 Quote:
House of Frankenstein (1944) 4/10 Quote:
Bela Lugosi was slated to play Dracula, but had prior commitments when Karloff was available. The Dracula part was very small, and the monsters' plot roles were not intertwined. |

THE DEVIL BAT (1940). Very silly very cheaply made little flick, but Bela Lugosi is so good in here. He ALWAYS gave 150% no matter the film. Know a few people I would like to send my own Devil Bat to... *** |

It! (Curse of the Golem)
Great little British flick with an easy on the eyes Roddy ![]() My only "problem" with it (and a reason why I almost ended up roasting the thing), was... SPOILERS IN WHITE the random Psycho angle... The dead mother thing was unnecessary. Honestly, take it out, you wouldn't miss it, the plot would still work just fine. If it was thrown in because it made Roddy's character look more nuts then that wasn't really needed either. He had a moment of regret and attempt to redeem himself, that was fine by itself as an interesting character trait, why make him crazy on top of that? If anything it just confuses the audience. My second guess as to why it was in here at all is because the director wanted to be another Hitchcock. Well your attempt in doing so, sir, caused the opposite effect. Congratulations. Recommend if you like something cheesy. (It's also on YouTube, Bloof!)

THE BIRDS (1963). One of the first films I remember seeing, back in kindergarden, probably 1968 or so. When we lived near San Francisco, my Mom took my brother and me to Bodega Bay, Spring 1971.
While it takes awhile to get going, really still delivers the goods, in particular the Jungle Gym sequence. One of Hitchcock's best. ****1/2 |
