Tam Lin (1970)

Folk horror freely based in ancient Scottish Tam Lin, don't be fooled by the haters, see by yourself!!!

[8/10 · 31 May 2024]

The outcome has a strong similitude with THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMES's Zaroff, it was shot in 1967, although the Commonwealth United Entertainment went to bankrupt before the movie be released, henceforth it was shelved, let McDowall too much disgruntled, worst it made a true damage for the picture that lost the timeline previously stablished, just in 1970 the movie was released finally, nevertheless it was utterly chopped to the dismay of the young director Roddy McDowall, just now come out officially the uncut and restored version conceived by him in plenty way.

Serpent of the Nile (1953)

The poorest Cleopatra in cinema's golden era ever!!!

[6/10 · 30 May 2024]

Even the Technicolor's Queen Rhonda Fleming was enable so save this lowest budge flick over the infamous Cleopatra, the blonde disguised into black hair shines through with those bright golden adornments on the head, neck and wrists, to enhance the epic the producers had earmarked mostly share of the tight budge to built an average sets as the inner palace, all remainder as few soldiers in pale battles is a crying shame.

Worst the painted scenarios were scattered wherever they go, it said our beloved William Castle shouldn't be blame for it, he had to dealing what he had in hands, nevertheless it wasn't so bad at all, Raymond Burr played a decent Mark Anthony where the shrewd Cleopatra enforces by all means became his blood into wine, William Wilding as former Cleopatra's lover since Julius Cesar's era in Egypt didn't add too much.

Overall a mild offering concerning this key character as Cleopatra that really became a true nightmare for the powerful Roman empire, involving two majors leaders as Cesar and Mark Anthony in her love poisoned nest.

[9/10 · 28 May 2024]

Rarely the producers-director had a luck to get an auspicious story connected with colorful characters in a well-crafted plot, all this gathered together led by a clever director as John Landis, it certainly means a near masterpiece as Trading Places became.

The early proposition is underpinned by three couple characters as follow the old villainous cheapskate brothers Bellamy-Ameche on sleazy treatment the whole employees, the main characters Aykroyd as snobbish and sharp eyes trader-manager for the older brothers, the rising black star Eddie Murphy on comic style often speaking in a black-jargon is amusing to play the opposite of Aykroyd's character and finally two supporting actor-actress the high-class butler Denholm Elliott on British mannerism and the street pros.titute Jamie Lee Custis complete the emblematic team.

It was one the best comedies of the eighties including a huge box-office, grossing worldwide more than 94 millions dollars, it came out in VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray format in Brazil, which I'd the fine experience on my brand new copy on 1080p, a stunning comic entertainment!!

Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)

Genuine, fresh, graphic, aesthetic, cult and extremely boring!!

[6/10 · 28 May 2024]

When I'd heard about Tetsuo de Iron Man I bought an import Japanese DVD, then out of the blue a famous Versátil Home Video announced an upcoming release of Two Tetsuo movies in Brazilian market place, well it arrives and I wondering how be this Cult picture, I'd expected a kind alike from the sixties, a Iron Man a sort of mutation becoming in a menace aftermaths.

Instead the director Tsukamoto developed a weirdo and dystopic world post-industrial at Japan where the man becomes a frenetic mutation process not into an Iron Man properly speaking, however into a trash-iron man with excessive wires, metallic conduit, screws, rivets and so for, oddly enough Tetsuo got a large spinning metallic pha.llus (really funny).

Afterward the early impact this weirdo offering caught in an endless of mutation progress that takes it to nowhere whatsoever, a hard to swallow for ordinary taste, if it is really fresh and original, although for one session only.

Zorro (I) (1975)

Alain Delon paid the price by this silly Zorro flick!!

[6/10 · 27 May 2024]

Locking back this far-fetched Zorro watched in far off 1987 with the upper-class Alain Delon who scratches his status to play the Spanish hero best portraited by Tyrone Power on the forties, he caught in the mass grave of many producers and directors enforcing a humor-oriented flick on those countless contrived acrobatics actions, worst their enemies are those stereotyped silly-dumb casting as paunchy Sgt. Garcia and so on, just the baddie Col. Huerta (Stanley Baker) is off-patten as true menace for the hero.

This Euro-production also changes the ground, rather the Spanish California at Los Angeles, they move further south where today is Colombia, nearby Cartagena and a fictional Nueva Aragon, now Don Diego also has the famous mute sidekick Joaquin (Bernardo was replaced), this formulaic picture will be replicated in Antonio Banderas's Zorro, highly entertainment with a brainless proposition, like this wrong move by the finest Alain Delon!!

The upper-class actor Tom Conway is best remembered by his previously work in Val Lewton productions, his unmistakeable velvety voice improves a bewitching Lawyer on this early Noir directed by the upcoming star-director Robert Wise, the plot is far-fetched to say at least, even so is quite interesting besides it was too short, Conway plays a successful and expensive Lawyer Steve Barner that is nominee by community to running for District Attorney against the corrupt opponent sponsored by a mobster Vic Wright (Robert Armstrong).

The unexpected comes when his singer girlfriend Georgia Gale (Martha O'Driscoll) is hired to work at Vic's night-club, it's ends up in a tragic event taken place there where Vic came to die by accidental circumstance in a clash between he and Steve, in such dead the fault lies on the shoulders of the silly Giorgia that got the gun on the floor witnessed by Vic's brother and running away aftermaths, then came up another show at courthouse by the skilled Steve Barner, fine small Noir directed by the newbie director Robert Wise.

The plot is silly over a former convict Anjo (Arrigo Barnabé) back to streets after seven years in prison, by an unsuccessful drug smuggling on the past, now he works in a night-shift ferryboat cleaning the Pinheiro river, when sudden appears his former Boss Japa (Celso Saiki) soon the meeting with the gorgeous Shirley Sombra (Carla Camurati) at nightclub is a matter of time a sex interesting each other, turns out that the Chief of Police Ratão (Claudio Mamberti) that was in charge when Anjo was arrest actually is a corrupt guy, he has been received his share in every single criminal activity, Anjo put in jeopardy his life to get in touch with those criminals again.

[7/10 · 25 May 2024]

I really love any making of due it bring many hidden info where you didn't find on movie itself, in Der Untergang is hard to figure out that was shot on St. Peterburg in Russia, the producers had chosen this place for several reasons including the German architecture alike and no modern signs around, to improve several interviews gave by the main cast, on spotlight Bruno Ganz's make up and how he embodies the evil Hitler even hating him.

On behind the scenes the words from the producers and the hard smoker Director Oliver Hirschbiegel where they expose how were deeply criticized by their own fellow citizens on Germany, also they used several sources including the still unknown character of Traudl Junge as real and still alive Hitler's secretary that wrote aftermaths upon her sad memories on the bunker, it was a key of the success due she was there and witnessed all those sad events carried out on that tight spot, certifying in part the last days of Hitler.

Downfall (2004)

Upon German's eyes the final word over Hitler at bunker!!!

[9/10 · 25 May 2024]

This gloomy and last chapter of WWII has been told many times, however never upon German's eyes mainly by still unknown Hitler's secretary Traudl Junge's notes wrote afterward those sad events witnessed on the bunker, even anyone hadn't enough outline precisely the own bunker itself, so it was a great puzzle where each info has been fulfilled the entire picture what's really happened on those deep and tight shelter.

Bruno Ganz made a stunning performance of the ever-evil Hitler, no one even reaches closest as the Fuher, all Nazi members within down there, as Goebbels, Albert Speer, Herman Fegelein, General Weidling just named a few as major characters including Hitler's mistress Eva Braun, therefore the newest Traudl Junge appears to certify all those early rumblings exposed on previous pictures, although for me many dialogues shown on movie are merely for dramatization purpose only, there aren't any reliable source due some chat were made at closed door for those died aftermaths by own hands, upon this point of view on many scenes are purely speculative.

The Germans producers and director and the whole crew involved in such outstanding production were hardly criticized even by their fellow-countrymen, despite that they kept steady at their early proposition, for me it's the finest and the final world about Hitler last days.

On slow pacing the movie is unfolding in an everlasting conversation, including lousy gags, useless walking around and so for, just in last chapter they have some action, badly by the way, some of them just disappears without a trace after death, others are blinded by a strange light coming from nowhere, in a nutshell a true endurance for the viewers, I just did not gave the lowest grade by two reasons, fine cinematography and auspicious premise increase a little bit, all the rest as cheapest FX, sufferable soundtrack, hideous dialogues and so on!!
