'Pale Rider' (1985)
-Clint Eastwood Plot: mysterious stranger protects a small prospectors village from a greedy mining company Phantoms Review: I love this film. Eastwood's next to last western and his last turn as a "man with no name". While it's basically a 'Shane' remake, Eastwood makes it his own with his cool, calm and possibly supernatural"Preacher" . Great traditional western action, fine acting and some magnificent cinematography make this one of the last great westerns. |

Raiders Of The Living Dead (1986) 5/10

Sounds like that cannibal film that has no cannibals in it, but zombies instead, the one where that bloke famously mangles that zombies head with a boats motor btw pale rider is lame in the extreme, a boring western that, as I can remember, ripped off his earlier film high plains drifter, which actually was a good film

"No Retreat, No Surrender: Blood Brothers" 8/10
One of my old favorites. Lots of cheese, great fights and an awsome bad guy. "Los Angeles Streetfighter" 2/10 Like the one above this is a cult martial arts movie. But why??? It gets 2 out of 10 for Phillip Rhee and Jun Chong. I'm sure they did a lot of great stuff in this flick. Too bad you couldn't see most of it.. |
 It's still a classic but, in this viewing, I was struck at how rooted in Psycho [1960] Friday the 13th is. It starts giving you hints with a score that openly echoes the shower scene. Midway through there is the slapped hanging light, and throughout there is the giant knife motif. At the end is a clear juxtapositioning of Norman and his mother. In FT13 the "psycho" mom voices her dead son's wishes egging her to more guilt-induced murders (including one by a shower). Even Jason being under the lake mimics Mrs Bates being in the basement "under" the house. Jason's mother resents the love-making counselors & Norman's "mother" resents his sexual attractions; it really does go on. I think it still holds up 34 years later & it's always hilarious to see a young Kevin Bacon. ::cool:: |
Friday The 13th: part 3 to 7
I think my favorite was part 5. With crazy Tommy in the halfway house and an ending that didn't make any sense. The Prowler Started out alright, not really bad but I still got bored pretty fast. |
