Kelly's Heroes


I love these older war movies ...good cast...fun times

Watched "April Fools Day" directed by Fred Walton, nice little plot and what a twist.:cool:

Sorry folks, I was not thinking when I mentioned the twist of this movie, I am sorry.

Murder Set Pieces: A fairly blah movie overall. The acting is pretty bad. The storyline, while it does have possibility is never really explored that well. The gore is pretty well done, but is predominantly shown after the fact which worked really well in Henry, but not quite so well in this one. Good enough to watch once, but I doubt I'd watch it again any time soon.

House of the Devil

I liked it, I think the criticism it gets for being slow is a bit unfair though, I appreciated the build-up.

Way to spoil April Fool's Day for everyone who hasn't seen it AMICUS.... how about a spoiler warning huh? :rolleyes:

Yeh a lot of people seemed to have felt that way. I dug the build up too. I guess I watch a lot of 70s/80s stuff and a bunch of those flicks have a slower build up. Apart from House of the Devil being set in the 80s I thought it was more 70s in tone/style.

Yeah, I felt the same way.

The Devils-1971

I find this movie incredibly powerful and I grow to appreciate its brilliance with each new viewing.Intense performances by all ( most notable in my opinion is Vanessa Redgrave as the depraved and tortured Sister Jean of the Angels) a beautiful script and striking sets that literally leave me on the edge of my seat.

That's because epically great minds think alike :p

The World's Greatest Sinner (1962)

(In?)famous character actor Timothy Carey's only writer/director-effort is a truly bizarre one, both goofy and heavy. He even stars as a fiery and convicted advocate for Man as God, the "Super-human Being", in a story that must have been at least partly inspired by Flannery O'Connor's Wise Blood. He plays passionate, Elvis/Jerry Lee Lewis-style rock 'n' roll, turning legions of people on to his "religion/political party" (clever, eh?), and so forth, then loses his way in the ensuing mess. Carey calls attention to the dangerousness of man's weakness to power, stale religion, and a host of other things, it seems. It's an awfully curious, but completely wonderful work; wholly B-grade production, with music by a young (and then-unknown) Frank Zappa and great cinematography by Ray Dennis Steckler!
Highly recommended.

H-yes. Great film. Glad to find another admirer of that incredible work.

I was going to say that!

Interesting plot with a good location but it was so slow that I took a 15 minutes of nap after the 1st half.

Soylent Green (1973)

Beautifully depicts the horror of overpopulation in our coming future which may very well be a reality soon specially in this part of the world where I live.:(
I think Sci-fi masterpieces like Metropolis & this one should get more TV screening on all national television channels worldwide on a frequent & regular basis.
