Another Little Shout Out on May 27th, 2017

Today is, somewhat appropriately, a double feature. A birthday shout out to two fantastic men that have been sending everyone behind the sofa and under the bed in fright. Sir Christopher Lee of the Hammer horror fame and the legendary Vincent Price were born on this day, May 27th. I am exceptionally fond of these actors because of how impressive they could be, both with fangs and without. Lee was a man with a wonderfully chilling baritone voice that could strike fear in the bravest, but also could be so eloquent in such odd films from the minds of directors such as Jess Franco. And Vincent Price is a man of versatility as well, whether it was his early years in films like The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex and Laura, or his team-ups with men like Roger Corman for a grand night of frightening people with the power of Poe. And so today, I salute you two terrifying gents today. Happy birthday.

Double Feature: Clearwater Features's TUGS (1989) & Cosgrove Hall's The Wind in the Willows (1983 - 1988)

INTRODUCTION It's probably best that we dial things down and finally get around to talking about something I mention in the description of this godforsaken blog: TV! Namely 80s British children's programming! There's one major reason why I've chosen this unnaturally specific arena of the small screen...I grew up on it. Through the power of the internet, DVDs, and even syndicated broadcasts in the US in some instances, I was able to experience what kids from London to Lancaster watched during the days of Thatcher and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. And I ate that stuff right up as a tot. There was something unique about English programming in general at the time. There was a certain homeliness to it. It was as if you return to your house or flat, turn on the tube, but it was catching an episode of Last of the Summer Wine or Only Fools & Horses that truly made you feel like you were at home. When it comes to kid's programming, I find that the UK is...

Review: The Plague Dogs - 1982

INTRODUCTION Oh...boy. This is one film I was excited to get. But I'm not disappointed. I'm just fascinated. The Plague Dogs is a 1982 animated adventure drama that tells the tale of two dogs that have escaped from a laboratory, and as they try to survive in the wild, they become the target of a hunt because they are perceived to be carrying the bubonic plague, creating two parallel narratives that overlap and intertwine. What fun! And for everyone's information, I am reviewing the ORIGINAL CUT. The 100-minute version that no one seems to want to watch. THE PROS First off, this film was directed by Martin Rosen. He was the same man behind the 1978 landmark animated feature Watership Down . These two features share much in common. Rosen at the helm when it came to direction, screenwriting, and producing. Both were based off of the work of the fantastic late author Richard Adams. And both feature the legendary late actor, Sir John Hurt. And with that, the acti...

Soundtrack Special - Bernard Herrmann's Vertigo (1958)

Well then, this is new... INTRODUCTION So I am an insane fan of Bernard Herrmann. I will watch a crap film just to hear one of his scores, and I can be sucked into a brilliant film even deeper through his brilliant sense of "musical psychology," an odd term I'll use to describe how Herrmann suggested ideas and spun narratives solely through the power of the film score. And to celebrate the legend's birthday, I thought we would tackle the big score of Herrmann's iconic collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock, Vertigo . I call this one the biggie as, while Psycho definitely is a masterpiece in and of itself, Vertigo is one of the most complex and highly regarded film scores ever. And, it serves as just one of the great elements of the twisted tale of obsession woven in such a way as to create one of the most highly regarded films of all time. The man of the hour, American composer Bernard Herrmann BACKGROUND First, I believe setting the stage migh...
