A detailed account of the abandoned ending . . .

I'd much rather it ended that way as it sounds like something really dark and tonally similar to Day of the Dead.

That does indeed sound interesting. I'd suspect they shot chunks of it. Enough to lack the budget to do something extravagant. The ending we get feels so much less than what came before. It really does feel like a rushed cheap ending.

It reads like that original 'ending' would've added another hour or so to the running time . . .

That's what I thought whilst reading the screenplay breakdown.

Now You See Me

Not bad, an entertaining diversion...though two hours of smarty pants magicians began to feel like a Blaine/Brown overdose. Woody Harrelson puts in a good performance.

Finished my recent round of Chuck Norris films with the blu-ray of Lone Wolf Mcquade another solid police (or Texas Ranger) action-thriller.

Lay-deeze AND Gennulmen! Tonight "50 SCI-FI Classics" gives us:
"The Amazing Transparent Man" 1960
AND
"The Atomic Brain" 1964

"The Amazing Transparent Man" Starts out with a man that we, the audience, can see but obviously the guards of the prison he is escaping from can't! If it was so easy to get out of gaol in the USA of 1960 it is little wonder that so many crooks got into the Whitehouse! He is picked up, in a convertible, by a lovely lady and taken, through police roadblocks, to an isolated farmhouse. There a power crazy guy and a doctor make him invisible so he can nick radioactive material for them. WHY? Why bother making this bloke invisible, prison guards and policemen can't see him anyway.

The plot is ludicrous with more holes in it than my old diesel boat shreddies (that's "submariner's underpants" to the uninitiated). The best actor in the whole film was a guinea pig, and even then only after it had been turned invisible! I won't bother talking about the "dire-logue"!

Having said all that there are some plus points to this film, well one plus point, when I say plus point I mean that it... Oh! Alright, it's short. Almost forgot, the other good thing about it is that it isn't "She Gods of Shark Reef"!

1/10 'cos I'm feelin' generous!

"The Atomic Brain"This film is a little better than the previous bucket of swill. The premise is that a rich, hateful old woman hires a scientist to transfer her brain into the body of a ravishing young woman. He practices on corpses and then they hire three girls from different parts of the world. Of course things go tits up and mayhem ensues.

There is little else to say about this turkey except that I enjoyed it. This film is one of those terrible movies that looks at you straight in the eyes and says "yes I'm crap and I know it!" and joyfully revels in it's crapiness. 4/10 for being unapologetic. Trust me, watch it and you'll see what I mean
