Don’t Torture a Duckling (8/10)

Posted on Jul. 6, 2005 - 5:36 pmSep. 18, 2020 - 5:36 pm

Early thriller by Lucio Fulci. Moves along pretty well , but the story is predictable with some laughably misplaced moments of violence and a few squirmy kids and sex moments.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (8/10)

Posted on Jul. 6, 2005 - 5:35 pmSep. 18, 2020 - 5:35 pm

Much better than the Royal Tanenbaums. Slow paced and unfunny at times, but worth viewing for the art direction alone.

The Diabolical Doctor Z (6/10)

Posted on Jul. 6, 2005 - 5:34 pmSep. 18, 2020 - 5:35 pm

Low Budget 60s exploitation by Jess Franco. Entertaining, but not quite as stylish as I expected. The soundtrack is excellent and there is one or two memorable scenes.

Spellbound (7/10)

Posted on Jul. 6, 2005 - 5:33 pmSep. 18, 2020 - 5:34 pm

Documentary about National Spelling Bee. Not a terribly deep movie, but entertaining nonetheless.

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (10/10)

Posted on Jul. 6, 2005 - 5:31 pmSep. 18, 2020 - 5:33 pm

Dario Argento murder thriller. Fairly ridiculous plot, but makes up for it in style, pacing and music.

Blind Fury (7/10)

Posted on Jul. 5, 2005 - 9:31 pmSep. 18, 2020 - 3:28 pm

Surprisingly good drug cartel style 80’s actioner about a blind martial artist hero played very well by Rutger Hauer.

Ring 2 (5/10)

Posted on Jul. 5, 2005 - 9:30 pmSep. 18, 2020 - 3:27 pm

Some scary moments, but mostly just retread and patchy story telling.

Serenity (10/10)

Posted on Jul. 5, 2005 - 9:30 pmSep. 18, 2020 - 3:26 pm

The best sci-fi movie since The Matrix. Fast, funny and intense. My opinion is probably tainted by my liking of the series, Firefly.

Five Man Army (3/10)

Posted on Jul. 5, 2005 - 9:29 pmSep. 18, 2020 - 3:25 pm

Dario Argento wrote this boring Italian Western. Featuring a non-exciting action sequence of a man running for five minutes and horribly cast Peter Graves as the Dutchman.

The City of the Living Dead (a.k.a. The Gates of Hell) (5/10)

Posted on Jul. 5, 2005 - 9:29 pmSep. 18, 2020 - 3:24 pm

More Fulci horror. Not much in terms of memorable scenes here, just the tacked-on drilled head scene. The zombies aren’t terribly scary in appearance and has a dumb ending.
