Monsturd (2003)
Brilliant!
This is a thoroughly enjoyable movie inasmuch as it never takes itself seriously.
It's full of sight gags, burlesque and double entendre throughout. This is truly a send-up of all B-horror movies.
I read about the film makers and it appears they wanted to make a film something like "Jack Frost," but with a "character" that was 180 degrees apart from the sanitary Jack.
***SPOILERS***
Don't miss the bit with the ventriloquist dummy and take note of the name of the serial killer.
Well done and entertaining. A "don't-miss" for any aficionado of satire.
The Neighborhood (1982)
Can't Help But Like It--But Contrived
Just caught this film on Black Starz.
I grew up on the very same street that this movie was filmed and can remember it actually being filmed. This is why I can't help but like it.
That aside, the story is rather dated by today's standards, and having grown up in "the neighborhood," I can honestly say that no one ever burned crosses on people's lawns or blew up their porches. As a matter of fact, by the time this was filmed, there were already a few black families on the block an no negative incidents had occurred. However, if anyone remembers Mr. Breslin's column in the Daily News, we all know what poetic license he was fond of taking.
Watch it, if not to see Olympia Dukakis before anyone knew who she was.
Ciao Manhattan (1972)
Trash
This was the worst movie that I ever endured. It produced physical symptoms in the form of a migraine...not only in me, but in another unfortunate friend who was subjected to it. This is a piece of trash in it's purest form. Don't bother with it.
Duel (1971)
Most frightening movie I've ever seen.
I remember the first time I saw this...in 1971. It was so scary, I watched most of it peeking through my hands!
This movie still has the ability to scare me, even after 31 years. It hasn't aged; it just became timely as a "Road Rage" film.
Stephen King once said that the scariest things are the things that can actually happen. This movie proves what Mr. King said, many times over.
