There’s nothing too complicated about the residence. A rich American businessman played by Jack Lemmon has to perform a sudden high-tail to Italy to claim the body of his father who was killed in an auto accident. He meets a young English woman, played by Juliet Mills, who has near to Italy to claim the body of her mother who, it turns out, died with Lemmon’s father. It seems that these two were in the midst of their annual month long tryst. For many years they had been meeting at exactly the same date at exactly the same Italian resort for what was obviously their raison d’etre.

Strait-laced Lemmon is disquieted that his father could possibly behave in such a manner. Life loving Mills is thrilled that her mother had found worship and happiness. The rest of the station consists of the complications of dealing with Italian bureaucracy and the evolution of Lemmon’s character from chilly efficient American businessman to a warm loving human being. Mills has “honest a bit” to do with these changes in Lemmon.

There was a running gag throughout the movie that exactly reflected my contain experiences in Italy. The morgue was closed until 4:00 because it was lunch time. There were no taxis because it was lunch time. A helicopter was told not to land at a local airport because it was lunch time. In my absorb experience, when attempting to cash some travelers’ checks in Rome, I was made to wait at a bank window for over 30 minutes while the cashier finished his sandwich and looked at a newspaper. No, no other window cashed travelers’ checks and yes, he’d catch care of me when he was ready, but he wasn’t ready yet. I contemplate that the feeling of “been there, done that” really added to my enjoyment of AVANTI, and the jokes built around the Italian inefficiencies did a lot to get the atmosphere of the whole movie.

You don’t have to have been there, however, to relish this movie. It’s warm and comical on its contain. Lemmon and Mills seem destined for one another, and the hotel manager, played by Clive Revill, who is obviously in savor with cherish, adds another dimension of humor. No huge drama, but loving good-natured comedy is what you can request from AVANTI.

Accidently caught this slow night movie while channel surfing in a hotel room on a freezing London night far from home and nursing a chilly.I was enchanted as I’d never heard of it.Jack Lemmon as Wendell Armbruster and Juliet Mills as Pamela Pigott give convincing portrayals of a millionaire american and a working class englishwoman arrive to Italy to retrieve the bodies of his father and her mother,who unknown to their families had been lovers for years and had died tragically together in a car accident.Jack Lemmon displays his acumen for comedy without even trying and miss Mills gives an understated performance.But kudos must go to the person who cast Clive Reville in the allotment of Carlucci the indispensible hotel manager.When he blurts out ‘idiota’ to an incompetent underling in absolute frustration its an absolute delight.It was a while before I realized he wasnt neapolitan.What a pity his talents have not been more recognized.I would also commend the melodic theme music arranged by Mr Rustichelli.The ending was not a complete surprise but fitting all the same.

Before Matt Groening and pals introduced us to “The Simpsons,” Joseph Barbera and William Hannah produced a little show called “The Flintstones.” Season “1″ was first aired on ABC during 1960 and has been syndicated in perpetuity throughout the known universe ever since.

Episode Guide:
(Screen Test) The Flagstones: Admittedly, I’ve never seen the screen test (discovered in 1993) and cannot even vouch for it’s inclusion in the DVD set-one can only hope.
(1) The Flintstone Flyer: Barney invents a flying machine (the Barney Copter) which he later loses to his over-bearing best friend. The duo uses the machine to ditch their wives and go bowling, thus setting the stage for years of adventures.
(2) Hot Lips Hannigan: Fred relives his glory days as a singer in his high school band as he jams with an old pal.
(3) The Swimming Pool: Fred and Barney construct a pool spanning across their backyards…a hilarious power struggle ensues.
(4) No Help Wanted: Having cost his friend his job, Fred finds Barney a new job as a repo man. Enter Dino.
(5) The Split Personality: Following a blow to the noggin’ Fred becomes his more refined alter, Frederick.
(6) The Monster from the Tar Pits: Gary Granite is filming in Bedrock and lucky Fred finds a part in the film…, as his stunt double.
(7) The Babysitters: Fred and Barney shirk their responsibilities and bring a baby to a friends house to watch the big fight. BYOB?
(8) At the Races: Fred and Barney rely on gambling for a quick-fix solution. Do you think they win?
(9) The Engagement Ring: Barney purchases a ring for Betty but Wilma discovers the ring and assumes it was for her… Instead of spending five minutes explaining the situation, Barney decides to enter a boxing contest with The Champ.
(10) Hollyrock, Here I Come: The girls come up with a winning slogan and a trip to Hollyrock. Lost without their better halves, Fred and Barney aren’t far behind.
(11) The Golf Champion: Fred demonstrates his prowess at golf, earning a trophy. Barney, however, pesters his buddy as Fred neglected to pay his membership dues.
(12) The Sweepstakes Ticket: Both the guys and gals purchase lottery tickets unbeknown to their spouses. As they forever remain strapped for cash, I think you know how this one ends.
(13) The Drive-In: Fred and Barney secretly quit their jobs to fulfill a short-lived dream of business ownership. The gig is up when one of their attractive employees pays a visit to the Flintstone residence.
(14) The Prowler: Terrorized by a neighborhood prowler, Betty and Wilma decide to take Judo lessons, despite Fred’s objections.

At this writing, I couldn’t tell you about the extra’s included in this volume. However, as I recall, The Flintstones’ 3rd season (1962-63) is perhaps their most transitional, as Fred (Alan Reed) and Wilma (Jean Vanderpyl) give birth to a little cavegirl named Pebbles (also voiced by Vanderpyl, she would make her debut towards the end of season 3 in Dress Rehearsal (aka The Blessed Event), at the end of the show; her 1st words are “Abba dabba goo goo!”). Many of the cartoons featured Wilma expecting, with the announcement of Wilma’s pregnancy at the end of one particular episode appropriately entitled The Surprise (ironically, this episode had more to deal with Barney’s nephew Marblehead, whom Fred grows to love, though he won’t admit it! Listen for Marblehead’s imitation of Uncle Barney’s hiccupy laugh). Barney (Mel Blanc) and Betty (Bea Benederet) are the godparents. Also, the familiar theme “Meet the Flintstones” also makes it proper debut in this season (it was featured in background music in Seasons 1 and 2).

Highlights include a performance by Rock Roll, who looks and sings a little like Elvis (”There’s a town I know where the hipsters go called Bedrock, twitch, twitch!”), Wilma and Betty enter a Rock Toasties contest and win a trip to Hawaii (Wilma saves Fred’s life by punching out a ferocious dinosaur chasing him, “Beat it, buster!”), Barney plans a surprise birthday party for Fred and spends most of the episode trying to get a fast asleep Fred home to the party, Fred takes ballet lessons to improve his bowling, Barney saves a baby but Fred unintentionally takes the credit, Fred goes back to high school for his diploma in order to avoid termination from Mr. Slate and becomes a football hero (”Flintstone! Flintstone! Rah, rah, rah!”), Wilma rents the house to 3 Swedish musicians (”Duh, he is Olie, I am Schven!”), Barney becomes invisible thanks to one of Fred’s wacky inventions, Fred tries hard to get along with his disagreeable mother-in-law during a visit (”I love my mudderinlaw!” he reminds himself, but gets his revenge by taking her on a long taxiride in disguise), Fred hires an Italian maid named Lolabrickida (who is an excellent cook and a lot nicer than Grandma Dynamite and the bossy nurse hired after Pebbles’ birth, but has zero tolerance for bad singing!), Fred and Barney go skiing in the mountains and unwittingly prevent a jewelheist (”Psst! Slalom, Shorty, SLALOM!”), Barney reluctantly agrees to masquerade at Little Tex to impress Fred’s rich Uncle Tex (voiced by Hal Smith, “Wahoooooo!”), Arnold the Paperboy cons Fred into paying more and later Wilma insists Fred see a quacky doctor and for Wilma’s birthday, Fred buys her a dodo bird named Doosey, who snitches to Wilma and Betty about the boys’ plans to go to a Water Buffalo convention in Frantic City without them (”Squawk! Frantic City, Frantic City, squawk, whistle!”). Also, Barney tricks Fred into thinking Pebbles can talk (”Do thum backfwips for me, Daddy, or I’ll cwyyyy!”) and the Flintstones move out of their humble abode to be near a crowd of rich snobs (”Everybody into the pyool!”).

If you liked Seasons 1 and 2, save your money for this one! That’ll be 2 rocks, please!

I do recomend this box set to any fan looking to complete thier collection.I won’t give this 5 stars only because of the misprint but I do give 4 stars for convienence of the volumes 7-13 together in one box set.

Sana Kurata age 11 is a great lively person but sometimes its a exterior method she utalize’s when she’s in pain or hurt.

but….

1.) this deluxe edition’s commentary and bonus documentary are lame. I thought they made this movie look bad but………………..Creepshow 2 is a great movie. Recommended.

I liked this movie for many reasons. One, the first one was terrifyingly scary (I was 8 when I first saw it). Two, it was written by horror master Stephen King. The first story, “Old Chief Woodenhead,” about a cigar store Indian who avenges the murders of his kindly shop owners, was creepy enough. Only really scary if you are easily creeped out or if you watch it at night with the lights off. The second story, “The Raft,” about four college students who go to a secluded lake and unwittingly become sitting ducks to a carnivorous oil slick-like blob was particularly scary. My second favorite out of the three stories in the movie. The last of the three and by far the simplist and most scariest was “The Hitchkiker.” About a cheating wife driving home from a rendevous with her lover and runs down some poor guy. She flees the scene only to be haunted by his undead spirit. Makeup effects by master Tom Savini were awesome. The complaints I have about the movie are minor ones. Why were there only three stories instead of five like in the first one? Also, what was up with the animated wraparound story? Yes, the first
“Creepshow” featured animated in-betweens before and after each story, but it did not have any cartoonish interaction between characters in its prologue or epilogue. Also the score wasn’t nearly as scary as it was in the first movie. The fillmmakers should have tried to get the same composer to return as well as director George A. Romero. The DVD doesn’t have that many special features on it. The trailer and a behind-the-scenes photo gallery montage are about it. I would have liked to at least have a commentary by the director if not a couple of the cast members. Last but not least, when will there be a “Creepshow 3″? It’s never too late for another sequel. Hello, Hollywood is sequel-crazy these days. Now is the time to strike. Overall, a decent pick if you’re looking for a fright ride.

The new film version of the classic tale “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” has gotten mixed reviews. I went in with my hopes down, not excited by the frenzied trailers and reading comments like “gross out humor” and “charmless”…

In the week that it’s been out, I’ve seen it twice and I’m going back a third time after Thanksgiving dinner…

When all is said and done, “The Grinch” is a wonderful movie; true to the original while taking justified liberties and expanding it, and maybe providing it’s own, new unique riches the book and the animated version don’t have. This film has been quite unfairly lambasted and compared. I’m sure no one will argue that Charles Dicken’s “A Christmas Carol” is more of a classic than “The Grinch,” How many versions of THAT do we have? With how many variations and elaborations, from Bill Murry to Mr. MaGoo?

Taken on it’s own terms, “The Grinch” is a new holiday classic, hillarious and moving. Jim Carrey is magnificant; absolutely hillarious while always portraying the Grinch as a three-dimensional character, one who (believe it or not) is a grown child nursing a long buried wound. When it comes time to bring that wound to the surface and heal, it’s a perfect and moving combination of Carrey, Ron Howard’s direction and James Horner’s score. Carrey, I think, deserves an Oscar nomination.

Visually inventive, wonderfully acted, it is the best fantasy film in a long time.

A Christmas movie that makes you laugh so hard so consistantly and then move you to tears by the end? Bah Humbug, critics and nay-sayers. A new classic for all ages, for all time.

Is about the Grinch

Who did not

The film gives the background, and fills in some blanks

The Grinch as a child was subjected to pranks

He fancied a Who, with the name Martha May

He tried to impress her and to his dismay

They laughed at his efforts, his gift and his face

So he destroyed the classroom and fled from that place

Then,

He moved to Mount Crumpet

And made him a home

While the green hairy creature seethed under the dome

Until one cold day at the town Christmas party

When young Cindy Lou showed him how to be hearty

Then Mayor May-Who went and spoiled all the fun

By taunting the Grinch ’til he came all undone

He went up his mountain, and he started scheming

And when he was through he was smiling and beaming

He’d ruin their Christmas; he knew what to do

Revenge is the sweetest when it’s overdue

If you’ve read the story you know how it ends

How the Grinch stole that Christmas from his former friends

So what happened next?

I won’t give it away

This Christmas this movie will show every day

So if you’re a Grinch you can run, but not hide

As you try to stifle the feeling inside

Just gather the kids for a clean yuletide treat

Merry Christmas to all!

STORY: This fairy narrative satire continues legal from the first movie as Shrek and Fiona are on their honeymoon. Prince Charming finally reaches the castle only to earn the “gender confused” titanic abominable wolf reading Pork Illustrated. The movie is basically focusing on the self awareness of who Shrek and Fiona really are. The fairy godmother of Fiona and the mother of Charming is out to fabricate definite that Fiona falls in like with Charming and not Shrek. As Shrek is lost in the woods he stumbles upon the masterfully crafted character that is Puss In Boots. Puss is probably one of the greatest fictional characters of all time, he is played to perfection by Antonio Banderas. The first Shrek was a puny satire on the fairy fable genre. Shrek 2 is an extraordinary high on satirical parody (if that makes sense) . The pop culture references reach flying in one after the other. I really feel that any body under 12 will not pick up most of the jokes made in this movie. For the kids we have the farting and the burping and for the more learned individual we have references to gender confused wolves, cats on catnip, meeting the in-laws, crazy wooden boys with uncommon fetishes, the ass, and tons more. There is no arrangement that anybody cannot contemplate this movie and not laugh. If you need to compare Shrek 2 to something glimpse at it as a lighter version of a Family Guy, Airplane, or Hot Shots type of thing. While the references are not as exaggerated as they are in parodies such as Hot Shots, they are very well placed and well executed. While many people feel that the myth and the “heart” that the first movie had was lost within the many gags there is collected that “heart” that the characters bear. Yes, the ending is your typical fairy yarn ending that has a indispensable correct, but then again this is a fairy legend. This movie is sparkling, humorous, and overall a well-crafted fragment of work.

ACTING: All the archaic cast members return as well as the noticeable additions of John Cleese, Julie Andrews, and Antonio Banderas. I can’t snarl unprejudiced how amusing Puss In Boots is. Without Puss the movie would without a doubt have been really uninteresting and “kiddyish” if you will. The most comical jokes are deployed in the film’s ending which is a hysterical romp. John Cleese plays the excited father and Julie Andrews as the accepting mother. Prince Charming is played by Rupert Everett, and really his only comic scene was when they stopped by drive thru and he got a kiddie meal and was wearing one of those paper crowns as found in burger king. The cast makes the film, Puss makes the film.

BOTTOM LINE: The kids will not procure this one droll except for the microscopic amount of fart gags. The people who will obtain this the most comic will be in the range of 15 to about 50. Anything above 50 might pick up any kind of animation too childish and will probably stop away from this one unless they have young kids. The animation by Dreamworks is amazing as well, design price of the scene in the rain and impartial how realistic the natural surroundings behold. Shrek 2 is faster and funnier than the recent and should become a classic impartial because of how radiant the movie is.

I first saw this with some friends, then took my parents to ogle it the next day. I was amazed at how many shrimp nuances I missed the first time around. This film is jam-packed with hidden tongue-in-cheek jokes and visual humor – there is so grand detail. This film is a delight for young children to the senior area and everyone inbetween.

Eddie Murphy is attend as the lovable Donkey – his is perfect in this role and personally, I deem he (Donkey) should have his absorb spin-off movie. This one character is a movie unto himself.

Joining the crew from the modern Shrek installment are Julie Andrews (Fiona’s mother), John Cleese (her father), Antonio Banderas (Puss-n-Boots) and Jennifer Saunders (the playful Fairy Godmother) .

The clever ways in which the screenwriters crooked the fairytale characters while smooth giving them reverence and respect is enough to effect you wail from laughing so hard. There are inferences to movies such as “Flashdance” and “Mission Impossible” and many others. Pinnocchio is no doubt a wooden embodiment of Michael Jackson (high-pitched stammer, obedient dancer, longs to be a diminutive boy, etc.) and there are many inferences to notorious people… there is even a helicopter thought of police chasing a white bronco!

There were very few moments in this film in which I was not laughing outloud or doubled-over – and in those few instances, it was to obtain my breath.

This film is an instant classic that is marvelous to exhibit to your kids and grandkids from now until generations to reach.

On top of the astounding animation and lovable characters, the underlying memoir is an awesome theme to insist to children: it’s not how you search for or how other people treat you that matters – it’s the drawl of your character and how considerable you treasure others. I cannot recommend this film enough – it is one of the best of the year.

This dvd has been ruined by being in a full-screen format. Full Screen crops the theatrical picture to 4:3 ratio which is the shape of a standard (non-widescreen) TV screen. There is no letterboxing, but up to a third of the original picture is lost. WIDESCREEN preserves the original theatrical picture ratio of the film which will appear in “letterboxed” format on a normal TV screen. If anyone has an all-region dvd player, I recomend going to Amazon UK and ordering the region 2 PAL Dvd version. It Is in widescreen

I am forty-years old and have been a PpG fan since day one back in November of 1998. I LOVE THE PPG MOVIE! Some people do not understand that this is the prequel to the TV series, so of course it will not have all the villains in the movie. Craig McCracken wanted to balance out the film where fans of the show, and people who have never seen the PpG, can enjoy it. The movie is just like the TV series.
I am happy to see that Craig did not make any improvements to the characters as other films do that go from TV to the big screen. He kept the characters the same as they are on the show. The animation is a little better.
The movie makes references to such films “Planet of the Apes,” “Conquest of the Planet of the Apes,” “The Wizard OF Oz,” and “King Kong.”
My favorite scene is where the girls are playing tag in Townsville. The girls are having a ball playing tag around Townsville. They do not realize how rough they are playing and in the process, they are destroying the town.
This film makes you laugh while other animated shows take themselves too seriously. The PpG reminds me of the Cartoons I used to watch when I was a kid. Cartoons like Atom Ant, The Beatles Cartoons, Spider-Man, Top Cat, the Impossibles, and the campy 1966 Batman TV series.
It is not only the animation that makes the movie great; it is also the talents of the voiceover actors that bring the characters to life. E.G. Daily, Tara Strong, Cathy Cavadini, and the rest of the cast make these characters laughable, loveable, and believable. Everyone has done an excellent job on this movie.
I hope Cartoon Network and Warner Brothers decide not to get rid of the cast of this fine and unique series. The show will lose many fans if CN and WB do decide to get a new cast. The cast was almost replaced before the voices were recorded for the movie. CN and WB did not want to pay the cast all the money that the cast were supposed to get for the TV series, the movie, and the PpG merchandise. I am happy to hear that things worked out for the film.
I was not disappointed with the PpG movie. I love the show more now after seeing the movie. I plan to see it again. I cannot wait of this movie on DVD.
If you only see on animated movie this year, see the Powerpuff Girls Movie. If you are not a fan or have never seen the PPG, you will be come a fan.

Wild Blue Yonder is Werner Herzog’s latest film, following the popular and acclaimed Grizzly Man and the equally compelling White Diamond. It is an excellent addition to a vast body of work that encompasses experimental (Fata Morgana), documentary (Little Dieter Needs to Fly) and narrative fictional works (Aguirre: The Wrath of God, and Fitzcarraldo). Wild Blue Yonder is neither strictly a fictional feature nor a documentary, but a peculiar hybrid of both, that makes creative use of “found” NASA footage combined with the narration of Brad Dourif (Deadwood) to create a surreal and beautiful science fiction fantasy.

The film is a bizarre and wonderful beast, that playfully embraces a range of ambiguities (and inconsistencies) of time and place and concept. For this I expect it will be infuriating (or tedious) to some, but I found it fascinating and delightful and at the same time poignant. It is also one of Herzog’s funniest films (while I’ve read festival reviews that suggest the humor in the film is unintentional it is exactly the kind of humor that pervades Herzog’s work, and he is too clever a director not to be in on the joke). Aliens travel across eons of time to reach salvation on our Earth, while astronauts explore the cosmos only to find the abandoned planet the aliens left behind as their best hope. Mostly ignored upon their arrival by a culture too caught up in materialistic pursuits, the aliens mimic the ways of the natives, attempting to ensure the success of their colony by building, before all else, a mall (that, like many malls scattered throughout the United States, eventually fails because people don’t come: things are cheaper at Wal-Mart). Later, in a brief summary of human history, the apparently last remaining alien describes the first great sin of mankind as the domestication of pigs, that forced them to settle down and eventually build strip malls. In the film the “Wild Blue Yonder” of Andromeda is simultaneously the here and now of this earth, deep in the seas of the Antarctic. What is said about the one could be equally said about the other. Herzog’s film is both a celebration of the human desire to explore (and of the remarkable ingenuity displayed by the scientists and engineers who are the poetic visionaries of the space program) and a lamentation of our stupidity and our shameless absence of wonder. The music and sound throughout the film — especially the remarkable singing of Sardinian vocalists — is vibrant, both otherworldly or transcendent, and traditional, harking back to simpler times. The cinematography is gorgeously rich; even if this film had nothing else going for it, it could be appreciated as a cinematic poem of lovely images. At the same time what makes the film interesting is the fact that the images don’t always fit easily with the narrative descriptions they seem intended to illustrate: a fact that highlights the peculiar status of this film as neither simply a fantasy nor a documentary, but a fantasy that, when juxtaposed with documentary images, serves to comment upon and urge reflection on the ideas that lead us to be fascinated with those images that are so revered by our culture (of early aviation, space flight, etc.). Brad Dourif is excellent as a narrator, channeling something of a peculiar mixture between Herzog’s own deadpan description and the neurotically energetic exuberance of someone like Timothy Treadwell.

The film can be interpreted in a number of ways: for example, the “alien” might as well be just a disturbed but intelligent individual, whose “madness” consists of an inability to identify with the human pathologies he sees to be leading us to planetary self-destruction, and envisions an Earth without humans, in many ways more beautiful than Earth at present. At several points in response to human mistakes he repeats, “I could have told them …” — his remarks and the story as a whole serve to comment upon the absurdity of what has long been an implicit vision of the space program (the idea that when we have “wasted” this planet we can always go somewhere else, the final frontier …). A literal interpretation of the alien is difficult, given that Herzog is deliberately loose with time in the film, and there can be little sense made of the ultimate chronology of the film (which depicts a narrator apparently in the present telling of things far past and in the distant future as if they were all in the past). In that respect, and as a work of experimental and cautionary science fiction, the film can perhaps be best compared to works like La Jetee by Chris Marker, and to Herzog’s own Lessons of Darkness and Fata Morgana. In any case it is a stunning film, that deserves to be seen much more widely by those who are willing to set aside a few of their conventional expectations from the movies and be overwhelmed by the peculiar blend of humor and pathos that is at the heart of this delightful film.

Note: while this review is based on a screening of the film, the dvd is scheduled to be released in November (by RYKO, which recently put out a very fine version of David Lynch’s Eraserhead, and which tends towards cult and independent films). Here is what they say on their website about the release:

Winner of Best Film: Critics Prize at the 2005 Venice Film festival , Werner Herzog’s (Grizzly Man) new feature is an epic vision of our search for a new planet to colonize while aliens (narrated by Deadwood’’s Brad Dourif) attempt to settle on our almost uninhabitable Earth. A revolutionary mixture of original NASA footage, amazing footage under the Antarctic ocean ( shot by musician Henry Kieser), interviews with cutting-edge scientists, all culminate into Herzog’s personal plea to save our own planet, The Wild Blue Yonder has fans, critics and skeptics alike in furor. An absolutely unique cinematic experience in a limited edition DVD release with hours of special features.

- Limited edition includes full-length director’s commentary, featurette, still gallery, bios and more!

“Astronauts lost in space, the secret Roswell object re-examined, an alien who tells us all about his home planet – the Wild Blue Yonder – where the atmosphere is composed of liquid helium and the sky frozen, is all part of my science-fiction fantasy.” – Werner Herzog

This film is a piece of art. Let it go at that and don’t expect the CGI version to come out in five years. It is meant to make you think about the bigger picture, ie, how Earthlings view the universe and where they fit. It tells a science fiction story more in the vein of “what if,” so if you can keep an open mind, then you’ll find yourself pondering the film even a few days after viewing it. I think it is best to see it on the big screen and with an audience in order to feel its comedy and enjoy the beauty of the NASA footage and the film’s astounding score. If you see it at home, dedicate an entire 90 minutes to viewing this movie, in the dark, the windows closed, without real-world interruption.

Essentially, Herzog’s a genius for projecting a science fiction fantasy story onto NASA’s Galileo footage and space shuttle coverage, complete with astronauts in their daily routines, and also original footage beautifully filmed by avante garde musician Henry Kaiser for the “liquid helium” sequences.

The music is perfect and Herzog himself calls the film an oratorio.

If you love the beauty and darkness of the film Baraka and the satirical parallel’s to real-world politics like in Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove, then you’ll get what is going on in The Wild Blue Yonder.

It’s a limited edition DVD; 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen; Dolby Digital Stereo; commentary featuring Herzog, Dourif and Norm Hill; Q&A, behind the scenes featurette, still galleries, and bios.

Black Sabbath is one of those movies that made a horrifyingly-indelible impression on me when I first saw it. In “The Fall of Water”, I can level-headed observe the contorted visage of the lifeless spiritualist as she fixes her malevolent witness on the woman who has robbed her in death. “The Telephone” was the weakest of the trio. But the third segment–The Wurdalak–gave me insomnia for days. As a lover of the vampire genre, I was struck by the twist in the primitive legend: a Wurdalak returns from the dreary to attack those whom he loved best on earth. Boris Karloff plays the title character, a paterfamilias who sets out to end a local bandit-turned-Wurdalak. If he has not returned in exactly three days, the family will know that he has been victimized, and must be destroyed. Of course, he returns unprejudiced after the three day label. The sheer alarm comes from the fact that the family knows the truth, but can’t admit it. The scene of Karloff cuddling and stroking his young grandson is enough to construct you want to call Child Protective Services! Really helpful stuff, and a clarion call to those who allege that one needs massive special effects or blatan, on-screen gore to succeed. Kudos!

Buyers be forewarned. Unlike the “also from” Anchor Bay trailers showing the American AIP version of “Dusky Sabbath”, what is on the disc is NOT that version. Instead this is the European Italian language version with subtitles and even Karloff’s enlighten is dubbed in Italian. Their advertising is very misleading for the unaware.
