I loved it! It had that futuristic aura to it like Masque. And what everyone said about the wire. Ooooooh! Next to read is Implant. After I finish Dean Koontz/Kevin Anderson's Frankenstein: The Prodigal Son - it's really good!

My wife and I saw this last night. Sorry folks, but this is an interesting concept gone horribly awry. Adrien Brody is Jack Starks, a Gulf War vet who is sent home with amnesia after being shot in the head. While hitchhiking he comes across a drug addict and her daughter, broken down on the side of the road. He fixes their vehicle and is later he gets a ride from a guy who's stolen a station wagon. The guy kills the cop who pulls him over and because Starks can't remember, he is tried for the crime after the man escapes. He is sent to a criminally insane institution where Kris Kristofferson is a doctor with a unique kind of therapy that unintentionally jettisons Brody into the future. While all this sounds interesting, keep in mind I'm capsulating. This movie is slow with only teases of picking up. I have no idea how 'Terror has a new name' is the tagline. I buy that Starks is terrified while strapped into a straightjacket and locked in a morgue drawer, but it doesn't translate to the viewer. And the assaults of memories forgotten as his mind has nothing to do but feed on itself are an attack on the viewer's eyes and ears. It doesn't evoke any emotion other than the agitation you'd get from standing too close to one of those tornado-warning clarions. I won't give away too much for you masochists who'll insist on inflicting yourselves with this jagged-shard-of-glass-to-the-eye in a movie's cloak, but I'll leave you to insert your own expletive in the sentence, "What the ____ was that?" as you leave the theater.

Last night, I watched The Medusa Touch on TV. I've never seen this before.

At first, I thought this is minor movie, but......Wow! This is awesome! Has anyone seen this movie? This movie was made in 1979, nevertheless the last spectacle scenes were frightened me. Simple terror, but it worked for me. :eek: Of course, Not CG.

In 70s, a lot of disaster movies was made in Hollywood. The Towering Inferno, Airport, etc... But, this movie, The Medusa Touch is not like those movies. Psychokinesis lead to disaster and panic.

If you wanna feel thrill and horror, check it. You definitely feel surprise.

B-movie, Hooray!

I thinking Leelee Sobieski, she's 23 now, will be old enough when this gets made. She was great in The Glass House and Joan of Arc

Emily Proctor (CSI Miami) if they make it now

This is new Japanese movie.

After the atom bomb dropped onto Hiroshima in August, 1945. A submarine called "a witch of steel" carried ultimate weapon "Lorelei", and left a port for a certain duty....

At first glance, it look like a Hollywood movie, but this is truly Japanese movie. It reminded me of Crimson Tide, The Hunt for Red October.....or BLACK WIND???? (Lorelei = Black Wind-like weapon........I hope not!).


Lorelei trailer

If anyone is looking for it, here it is. Signed and limited in slipcase. Happy hunting! Again, this isn't mine. I'm only passing along the info.

Wacky British humor at its best. Inspector Fowler and his inept constables make for amusing telly. David Haig as Detective Inspector Grim is particularly funny. I'm not sure how available it is, but it is certainly worth a look if you can get it.

F.Paul,

Is the story that you have contributed to the Cemetery Dance anthology Dark Delicacies a new one?

I'm trying to decide whether I want to shell out $150.

Cheers,

Brett

p.s. I had a gimlet last night and toasted your good health.

Has anyone else been watching this new show on the Discovery Channel? Besides the rather disturbing nature of the amount of damage and good stolen by the thieves in short amounts of time, has anyone else noticed that the "main" thief, Jon Douglas Rainey, looks a lot like Edward Norton, especially when he's wearing that black toque (cap)?

This is a good film with great acting by all the kids. Here's a fitting review... http://www.filmthreat.com/Reviews.asp?Id=5423

Joshua Peck done a fantastic job as the bully, IMO. The plot isn't surprising (as the review said) but the acting makes this film worth watching. Give it a try.
