And Now the Screaming Starts! (1973)

And Now the Screaming Starts!

[6/10 · 23 March 2008]

This movie screamed me to death when I was sixteen hiding under the covers, eating butter popcorn. I saw this not too long ago on AMC.

It is about a recent married couple moving into a huge mansion-castle, in late 1700s in England. The Bride is haunted by a painting of her husband's grandfather's portrait. She is frighteningly drawn to it. She sees a floating severe hand coming out of the portrait. Her husband at first thinks it is nerves and brings a doctor to come to her side. The doctor wants him to tell her the truth of a dark family secret, her husband refuses insist that it is fairly tale. The doctor tells him, "If you don't I will." Then suddenly he is afraid and does not.

What Dark Family Secret is her husband hiding? Why won't he tell her the truth? Why is portrait of his grandfather haunts her so?

The Phantom of the Opera (2004)

Phantom of the Opera

[7/10 · 29 August 2007]

My thoughts and opinion about the Movie the Phantom of the Opera of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Gerard Butler-The Phantom: he does come across as being sincere seeking love from Christine. His singing is rough, not exactly hitting the notes almost is overwhelmingly overshadowed by his co-star Emmy Rossum and Patrick Wilson.

Emmy Rossum-Christine Daaé: She is the perfect Damsel in Distress, her voice sweet and breath taking.

Patrick Wilson-Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny: The perfect hero. His singing and acting was the best of all three. He show fear, and deeply concern for Christine Daae's well being.

Some of the scenes were lavishly over done as if they were more important over the stars, their characters, their ability to sing, and the plot.

Zorro 1975

[6/10 · 12 July 2006]

Alain Delon as Zorro Stanley Baker as The Evil Colonial At the beginning of Zorro, Alain Delon has discovered that his friend is in danger, fights the bandits with ease with his sword. His friend lays dying begs him not to kill, but go in his place as governor of California, you must have my ideals of peace and goodness not to go there to killor revenge my death.

Once he is in California, he discovers that the people are suffering under the Evil Colonial and that other governors were secretly assasinated. There is love and romance he falls in love with his friend's niece. She could be placing herself in danger by speaking against the cruelty's of the Colonial who really controls this city. It is fun to see the children help Zorro when he is in need. The best line is "He took the Hook Line and Sinker." The singing will go on and go on Zorro is Back! Ignore it the best you can.The End Battle the Duel Scene is worth the wait it is very dramatic and realistic.
