Rent It Planes may be set “above the world of Cars !”, but it struggles to reach even the modest heights of Pixar’s most lackluster franchise. Get it? Heights?
Highly Recommended Theo has racing in his blood…or, wait, whatever it is that garden snails have inside. He has racing in his something .
Recommended 20th Century Fox was not a big supporter of 3D in the 1950s- though they did release one 3D movie Inferno in 1953, they believed CinemaScope instead was the future of movies.
Highly Recommended There’s no prelude or onslaught of corporate logos or narration or whatever. Nope, Maniac Cop 2 immediately picks up where the first flick left off, rewinding the clock just enough so you can [click on the thumbnail to enlarge] see..
Recommended Billy Rose’s Jumbo (1962) was for many of its participants the end of the line. It was star Doris Day’s last musical, innovative choreographer-director Busby Berkeley’s last movie, and co-star Jimmy Durante’s last major film role
Highly Recommended An anomaly among early 70s horror films, The Other (1972) was directed by and starring actors with little genre experience. Certain aspects of the film don’t quite work but in many other ways the film is genuinely unsettling and original. Its premise in some aspects anticipates The Omen (1976), also produced by 20th Century-Fox and featuring a score by Jerry Goldsmith, though …
Rent It The Movie: Director Giorgio Serafini, who recently directed Dolph Lundgren, Gianni Capaldi and Vinnie Jones in the fairly disappointing Blood Of Redemption goes some ways towards redeeming himself with this next in the three picture deal that will see the three action stars on screen together. The story, written by Agustin (who evidently doesn’t need a last name) is set in Los Angeles …
Highly Recommended The Movie: Directed by Ren Clair who co-wrote the screenplay with Armand Salacrou, 1950’s Beauty Of The Devil (which was released in other territories, including the United States, as The Beauty And The Devil so as to not promote whatever attractive qualities the Lord Of Hell might have!) is essentially a retelling of Faust .
Highly Recommended Death Hunt (1981) was the last “serious” film of star Charles Bronson. The reliable supporting actor-turned-Euro-star found mainstream success in the U.S. with Death Wish (1974), then for the next several years mostly appeared in genre action-thrillers similar to those of box office rival Clint Eastwood
Recommended The Movie: Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni in 1961, La Notte follows a wealthy married couple, wife Lidia (Jeanne Moreau) and her husband, an author named Giovanni (Marcello Mastroianni), as they travel around their home city of Milan.
