"The Crawling Eye" is another fairly decent movie with a bad title. I just snatched up two dozen of those great 'B' movies at DeepDiscountDVD for $3.99 each! Check my sig. for titles. Unfortunately, they're not easy to find because they're in two-disk sets and sometimes DDD misspelled the...
If Elizabeth Berkely could act, it might have been a funny movie. But when I watched it, I was too busy wincing every time she was on the screen to "get" the joke.
Excellent clip Mark! One of my favorite flicks. I wish we had the missing ice cave sequence. :frowning: What I would like to do is convert the current Kino Metropolis from 24/25fps to 20fps. I can easily play it at 20fps in WinDVD but I can't figure out how to burn it to DVD so I can play it...
I too would love to hear a commentary that doesn't pull any punches. True, Berkley's acting is atrocious and nearly unwatchable, but Verhoeven is the one who cast her. I find it difficult to believe that out of all showgirls in Vegas who dance nude in public all the time, he couldn't find a...
I agree, the book was OUTSTANDING!!! IMO, the movie would have been much better if Mr. Chase had been invisible. But nooooo, the studio (or Chevy) felt they just *had* to have his puss in nearly every scene. He's supposed to be invisible, but we keep seeing him everywhere!
"Why do the "perceived" politics have to ruin this great motion-picture experience for a lot of people?" Um, maybe because it's a political message movie through and through? The screenwriter intended this movie to be a comparison to Christ and his teachings. Anti-war, turn the other...
If you're as big a fan of E.T. as you sound, then definitely buy the gift set. Well worth it IMO. The disks went on moratorium on 12/31/02. Who knows how long they'll last in the stores.
According to a radio interview I heard him on, Bill Mumy *wanted* to do the movie. He had read the script and was all set to play the older Will, but when he was told "no, we want you to do a cameo", like June Lockhart, he turned them down flat.
The producers were idiots for throwing away that...
ok, I just finished the first five features and I just have to say, AWESOME! These are real people, not actors. We're looking at the real deal here and I was fascinated! I expected ordinary videos about how they do their job, but I didn't expect hilarious scenes that not only showed how they...
I received mine today 1/31 (shipped per email on 1/14). The email said it was shipped first class but it was actually sent media mail. Even with media mail, two weeks seems like a long time to go from California to Washington state - so if you haven't received yours yet, it's probably still...
"Good point. I think I've seen Showgirls in the $9.99 sale bins." I picked it up for $8.99, and after watching it, I think I wasted a good $8.99 (not counting the time lost). :p Couldn't the director tell from the first dailies that her acting was this bad???
Ridley Scott, while a great director, is a wuss! He made it clear in the Legend DVD that he was the one who freaked out over the preview audience reaction, not the studio wonks. In fact, he said there were a few pot heads in the audience who ruined the viewing for everyone else, and yet he used...
Sorry to hear that "High Noon" was such bad quality that Harris couldn't recommend a purchase of the DVD. But figure the odds that the studio (after spending the money they've already spent on the release) will revisit the material and publish a new and improved special edition. :-/
