Kevin Smith Project session 3

Banky Edwards: This is all gonna end badly.

Kevin Smith grows up, kinda, and makes a very personal film and probably my favourite of all. It doesn't have as much quotable dialogue as some of his others, probably because everything that can be said in 5 words is said in 15... It's evident that Smith loves words.

We're only 3 films in and already there are in jokes everywhere you look and all the characters are intertwined. I'm sure you could watch this film without seeing Clerks or Mallrats but you're certainly rewarded if you have done. It's not just nods to his own films either, the homage to Jaws stands out with the hilarious scene of sex wound comparisons.

Great film, and spoiler, it doesn't have a happy ending.

I really enjoyed this; it was pretty by-the-numbers as far as these things go but looked beautiful and proves Bava as a true master of the genre with an incredible eye for filmmaking. Really stylish.

Beautiful, isn't it? I don't know if I'd call it 'by the numbers' exactly, when it was one of the films writing the rulebook, but I know what you mean - it's certainly archetypal. When I started watching gialli, B&BL and The Girl Who Knew Too Much, were two of the first I saw. Since then I haven't adhered so strictly to the chronology.

rewatched The Big Zapper (Lindsay Shonteff, 1974), truly I cannot recommend this enough, they really don't make 'em like this any more....

watched these yesterday

spookies- OK some ok special effects and deaths, but poor acting and it was about as scary as a episode of scooby doo!

Hellinger- truly awful movie, terrible acting, looked like it was being filmed from a handheld video camera, only manged to watch 20 minutes and that was 19 minutes and 59 seconds to long. one of worsted films i have ever seen!

Beast from 20000 fathoms- one of my favorite 50s monster movies along with Them and some of Harryhausens best work. so many classic set pieces a true classic.

Ticks [Blu-ray] [1993] [US Import]: Amazon.co.uk: Seth Green, Alfonso Ribeiro, Tony Randel, Ami Dolenz, Rosalind Allen: Film & TV

Just watched ticks, in a bid to get back into writing while I have spare time I knocked out a review on amazon (when it gets put up) but worth saying here the blu-ray is locked to region A. Shame as I really enjoy it and think its one the younger fans on here (who didn't rent it when they were 13!) should check out!

Watched The Mummy's Shroud over the weekend and today I saw
an episode of Monsters.A tv series from 1987/88.
Not bad but not as good as i remembered.
TMS was good, really enjoyed it.
Hopefully the Monsters series will improve,love the very cheesy music.

It's Shonteff's son who has the rights and wants silly money for them. How Sleep The Brave (Quality film!) is out on R2, but that is a cheap boot. I would love to see a Shonteff boxset with The Big Zapper, HSTB etc, etc. Alas, I don't think that will come to fruition any time soon.
